Ok, it has been a month since I sat down to post but I swear I have had the best blogging intentions. Every morning when I "run" I compose a blog entry in my head...I have mentally posted about Memorial Day and the neat ceremony we attended where Jimbo and Maxx met a Marine General and the Governor. I also came up with a great one on Father's Day all about my own dad and how great he is and what I great dad Jimbo is and what a great dad my father in law is. I posted about how on Father's Day I spoke in Sacrament meeting and then did sharing time and singing time in primary and then came home and made Jimmy meatloaf, potatoes and Kristy rolls and then passed out from exhaustion. I have posted all of the fun pictures and stories we have had beside the pool and I have posted about what a super gal my friend Buffy is. I have posted about how I am in a book club and that makes me feel so smart and educated that I can actually read things that weren't penned by Dr. Seuss. I have posted about Sarah's 9 month check up and how Dr. Watson told me she was brilliant!
What I am trying to say is if you lived in my head you would know all about all of the fabulous things that have happened in my life and you would also hear a lot of crap like gas prices, house payments, hockey puck, monkey, monkey, underpants! But alas you do not live in my head and you rely on me to take a minute out of my day to invite you into my world. So, I have plugged the camera in and I am going to tell a few of my stories...enjoy!
I love the pool for the water, the sun and the adult conversation but
most of all I love it because it wipes out my kid!
Humm, I would never, I mean never let the dog lick my face
but every now and then Roxie sneaks in a lick or two
and I think it is adorable and it must tickle Sarah because she giggles like crazy.
I am not big on posting pictures of myself because I am one of those
girls who is never happy with the way that she looks
but this is a real treat. Sarah hardly ever falls asleep cuddling
like that and it was really special. Jimbo will later tell me how
beautiful I am and that is precisely why i married him and posted this picture!
My Houdini!
I have these great dining room chairs in my house that I can
strategically lay down all over creating what I lovingly
refer to as a Sara-cade. It is genius and it keeps Sarah out of trouble.
Well, at least it did for a little while and then she decided
to test the boundaries
(Remember, the Pediatrician said she was brilliant!)
Anyway, it used to keep her out of the dog food until she
learned she can crawl around the chair and under the
bakers rack and then have an all-access pass to the pet food....arghhhh!
(despite the empty bowls at the time of the photograph my pets are quite well fed!)
We're all safe my dad's a Marine!
Yep, that is what her shirt says. Another darling creation by
my friend Buffy. She made this for Jimbo for father's day
and I guess Sarah took it to heart because she curled up in his
lap and dozed off to sleep. Thanks Buff!
Sarah loves, loves, loves to help with the laundry...Jimbo not so much.
His job has always been the socks I do everything else and he
stacks the socks and I guess his job wasn't fulfilling
enough so he decided that he would put his socks on Sarah to
be funny and it was freakin' hilarious! She crawled around in
them and continued "helping" me by pulling the freshly
folded laundry onto the floor. The laundry took three times
longer than usual but it was the most fun I ever had folding undies.
The End.
Sarah continues to love life and doesn't want to miss a thing
by taking one of those silly naps. So, here she is playing until
the last second and then she gives in, toy in hand ready
to go the second she is awake!
