30-10-4

These could be really lucky lottery numbers. "I feel lucky... yeah..." ( Mary Chapin Carpenter) But these numbers were not my picks instead wonderful celebrations! I am 30 today and excited about it, Sarah turned 10 months last week, and she took 4 little steps yesterday! So many blessings!

Beer and Laundry

Helping Daddy with his home brew and Mommy with the laundry. In one of the pictures she looks like she has had some home brew...

Sarah's first trip to Santa Fe

We just got back from a wonderful trip to Santa Fe with the Maddoxes! Lots of beautiful scenery, shopping, spicy food and cooler weather! Sarah was great on the plane ride, enjoyed shopping in her stroller, learning at the museums and loving on her family. Lots of fun for everyone!

Determination

Step 1: Knock over trash can and dive for sticky note.

Step 2: Realize that I'm stuck and try to back out.

Step 3: Success! Show Mom my findings

Encouragement

I had to stop everything and come document the sweetest moment for me today. Today is house cleaning day and as I was vacuuming ( it will not surprise you that Sarah LOVES to watch the vacuum) I would stop and smile at Sarah and she loves to smile back at me. I started doing this and making silly faces as I vacuum so when she was really little ( shes still little im aware) that she would not be scared of the vacuum. Well, today everytime I stopped to smile at Sarah she would clap for me. She clapped for me the entire time I cleaned the house and would follow me around to continue to give me encouragement....Way to go Mom! It's the little things that make you feel amazing! What a sweetheart!

So tired...

Sarah is not much of an eater yet...which confuses me since Jordan and I can clean a plate, but boy did her tiny bit of a meal wear her out the other day. Precious!
