Easter Weekend

What a beautiful weekend!

We spent Saturday at an Easter Egg Hunt party and had so much fun! There was a huge bounce house and lots of other kids to play with - the Easter Bunny was even there! Sarah was a bit nervous about the GIANT bunny...she would wave at him but definitely kept her distance! There were 400 eggs to look for during the Hunt! What fun!

On Sunday we had our own Easter Egg Hunt for Sarah. She really enjoys looking for little prizes!

Bay Area Visit

A few weekends ago Chris and Brian went to Las Vegas while Sarah and I flew up to the Bay Area to keep Lori and the kids company! We flew Jet Blue out of Long Beach and Sarah had her own seat with her own TV! She loved it! She had some trouble keeping her headphones on but the TV kept her happy during the short flight north.

On Saturday we went to visit my friend Becky and her little girl Tabi (who is a week younger than Amelia and about 10 months older than Sarah). The girls had a GREAT time together playing on Tabi's backyard playset and investigating her beautiful backyard! That night we got to see other family friends and their kids - so much fun!

On Sunday we flew home - again, Sarah was great! She's become quite the little traveller!

Sarah and Her Big Girl Bed!

On the eve of Sarah's 2nd birthday, we came home from celebrating Chris' birthday to heard that Miss Sarah had climbed out of her crib. Miss Jill said she wasn't hurt and was actually quite proud of herself for accomplishing this new feat! Fast forward 1 week, Sarah hadn't climbed out of her crib again so we figured she had had her fun and wouldn't do it again. WRONG! That Saturday morning, after hearing her wake up and want to get out of her crib, I went in to get her and she had 1 leg over the side and the other leg was in mid-swing. OK! Time to get Sarah into a bed STAT! We already have enough visits to Urgent Care, thank you very much! So that day, Chris and I purchased Sarah a full/double size bed. We plan on using the sides of her crib as the headboard and footboard (when we figure out how to attach them). She has been successfully sleeping in her new Big Girl bed for a couple of weeks now and appears to like it! She has a lot more room to move around (which she does a lot of in her sleep) and she loves it when Mama or Daddy gets in with her to read!

Our little girl is growing up!

Dancing Girls!

After the birthday party, Sarah and Amelia decided to get their dancing groove on with Aunt Sheri! They had so much fun! And were hysterical to watch! They've got some killer moves!

Sarah's 2 Year Pictures

A good friend took some pictures of Sarah (and us!) for her 2nd birthday pictures. I love the way they came out!! As always, she did a FABULOUS job capturing the "real" Sarah (who spent most of the time running)!

Enjoy!

Sarah's Birthday Party!

The theme was ladybugs! Bright reds and black...how cool is that? From the invitations to the 24 goody bags I decorated with a sharpie to look ladybug-like! A fun time was had by all - despite the rain that moved the bounce house to the garage within the first hour of the party. Pierce and Sarah were not affected by the sudden downpour INTO the bounce house at all!

Thank you to all of our dear friends and family who came from near and far to help celebrate our Love Bug's birthday! You all made it so special!!

The Princess Turns 2!

I can't believe it's been TWO YEARS since our little miracle arrived! She has brought so much joy and happiness to our lives! Everyday we have new experiences that we love seeing through her eyes. We can't remember what life was like before she came along. She's definitely our gift from God!

Happy Birthday, baby girl! Your Mama and Daddy love you SO MUCH!!
