Sarah Loves her Hot Dogs!

And she likes to eat them like a "big girl" in the bun with ketchup!!

Things get a bit messy...but it's all washable!

Silly Sarah got Stuck!

Chris and I were decorating the tree and Sarah was playing with a ball in a little wooden bucket in the same room we were in. She was laughing and everything was fine...then all of a sudden, she started whining...when we turned around we saw this:

So naturally, I had to find the camera to take a picture before I took her out! By the time I found the camera she was really ticked!

Guess she won't do this again!!

Sarah and Her Nose

I know...a funny title for the blog but we're so excited!!

Sarah has learned to blow her nose! It doesn't seem like it should be THAT exciting but since Sarah seems to have a lot of runny noses lately, this means a lot to us! Plus, it means we won't have to use the nose sucker anymore! Although...we have the battery powered one and she actually kinda likes it! It tickles!!

Yay Sarah!!

Sarah and her Camo

Chris decided to give a Santa visit a trial run by taking her to the free Santa pictures at Bass Pro shops. So, naturally we had to dress her in her camo dress and black Mary Jane's! She looked so cute!! Too bad the line was too long and they didn't get to see Santa...We'll have to give it another shot next weekend!

Sarah and Yo Gabba Gabba Live

A couple weeks ago Chris to Sarah to see Yo Gabba Gabba Live in LA. Sarah LOVES this show! She dances with the kids when they dance...she LOVES Biz's Beats and does her own raspberry blowing version and says Bye Bye each time he's done...and she loves to "Get the Wiggles Out"! Well, she didn't love the live show like she loves the one on TV but she had a good enough time!

Sarah and the Camera

Sarah has discovered our camera and she LOVES to take pictures! It took a while for her to figure out how to press the button hard enough but once she did...well...there's no stopping her! We've decided it might be time to get her a camera of her very own!

Here's a sampling of her work...as you can see she likes to take pictures of Murphy and Riley!

Fun Times with Sarah

As I posted awhile ago, Sarah figured out how to get the safety latch off of the Star Wars cabinet. Well, last night she got the safety latch off, opened the door and pulled out all of the DVD's. Not normally a big problem...more of a mess. Well, that was not enough...nope...she stacked them up so she could CLIMB up on top of them to get to the top door of the cabinet and open that up and get inside to see all of the collectibles she's (apparently) been DYING to see! She had a big smile on her face the whole time...she was so proud of herself!!

And just 'cause she's so darn cute...here's a pic of her from dinner time last night...she love sher broccoli!

Sarah's New Game

On Sunday, Sarah and I were driving around the shopping center, going from Target to Babies R Us...a fairly typical weekend morning for us.

The weather was BEAUTIFUL so we had the windows down and the radio up listening to some good music when all of a sudden something catches my eye in the side-view mirror and I hear a click - click - click. I stop and look and Sarah has thrown her Binky OUT the window! And now she's LAUGHING!! Well...needless to say after I saw it rolling around the parking lot I decided NOT to go pick it up and give it back to her. She'd lost it for good.

Fast forward 3 days and I'm driving the little miss home from daycare. She'd somehow smuggled another bink into the car and was (happily?) sucking away in the backseat. We came to a red light and after I came to a stop, I hear a click-click-click and I see her hand sticking out the window. I didn't see anything on the ground but there was quite a bit of traffic. The light turned green so I started driving along and the next thing I hear is Sarah SCREAMING "mine!" (over and over and over). Guess she HAD dropped it out the window!

So, decision has been made...no more binkies in the car...although, now I'm afraid she'll throw something else out! I've been keeping an eye on the stuff we've got back there...I have visions of her blanket hanging out the back window while she's laughing away...

Sarah After Eating a Popscicle!

Downtown Disney Trip

We all went to Downtown Disney on Sunday to meet up with an old friend of mine. A friend who I have seen in YEARS and I've known since high school. He and his family had been at Disney all week having a great time and were leaving that afternoon for home. I'm so glad we got to see them! AND...Jeff got to finally meet Sarah!!

And as usual...Sarah had a great time! She loves Disney!

Sarah and Her Blankie

Sarah LOVES her blankie that Grandma Gray made for her! It's so soft! She falls asleep at night rubbing it on her cheek! So cute! She also tries to bring it everywhere...dragging it behind her as she walks around the house!

Halloween 2009!

Halloween weekend started with a Halloween party at school on Friday night. Sarah got all dressed up in her costume and went with Grandma and Daddy to the party (mommy had to work).

Then Saturday night, Sarah got all dressed up in her Princess Leia costume to go trick or treating for the very first time! We knew she wouldn't wear the "wig" that came with the costume so we improvised...but I think you get the idea!

We went to about 6 houses or so and she got more courageous at each house! Except for the scary one that had spiderwebs and lots of scary noises!
