Go Utes!

Well, I'm a little late but I had to post this cute picture of Sarah in her cheerleading outfit. We had some family over to watch the game and Sarah was raring to go cheering the team on. It was fun and the Utes won so it was even better..... Go Utes...

Merry Christmas 2008!!!

Christmas Eve was spent at mom's like usual and we all got together for dinner. We played Bingo and did a gift exchange.

Sarah is really into giving hugs
and could not stop hugging hernew cousin Brecken, over and over,and over. He was really patient and didn't really know what to do because if she really likes you she hits after she hugs. It's great.Mom and Dad gave Sarah a rocking
chair that I got when I was 3 years old from my Grandma and Grandpa Blair. It was so cool to have this
for my daughter and I'm really glad that they decided to give it to my
daughter.
It was a really low key and nice evening.
I love my parents and appreciate everything they do for us.

It is nice to have all my sisters around also. We just need my brother and his family, but maybe next year.

Christmas morning was nice also.
Sarah still was loving her rocking

chair. She doesn't really get the
whole holiday yet. Maybe next year. All she know is baby and stuff.
I think next year will be fun.
We will have Andrew for Xmas

morning and she will be a little bit
older and understand Santa and presents a little more.

We went to Nana's and Bapo's on Xmas afternoon and that was nice so. It's always nice to get everyone together and spend time together. Sarah got a tutu and leotard from Jake, really Christina, that is so cute. She would wear it then get tired of it but she had a lot of fun. Bapo even picked out an outfit all by himself for her that is so cute. Way to go Bapo... She loves the talking dog also. She loves everything that makes noise or sings songs. Christmas was great... We love our family....

Sarah's party

Sarah's first birthday was a fun party. She was a little overwhelmed at first with all the people that came, but she warmed up after a little bit. She was so excited for and happy and had fun with her cousins.

She got lots of toys and clothes for her birthday and tried to put all of
them on, and play with her toys when she opened them.

Andrea made her the cutest birthday cake and a special cake just

for her that was so cute. I love the cute pink with pokka dots and

the ribbon. It was so cute I loved it.

She even made a special cake just for Sarah, and she got to eat it

all by herself, but she was unsure what to do at first, but everyone

told her what to do had she was a mess in no time. The party was

a lot of fun and I think everyone had fun. Thanks to everyone for

coming and sharing this special day with us. We love you....

Sarah turns 1 today

Today is Sarah's first birthday and we are having all the aunts and uncles and cousins over today for her birthday party. She is getting so big and walking all around. She says "baby" all day long. I can't believe it was a year ago today that she was born. Time flys by...

Thanksgiving 2008

Thanksgiving this year was at my moms. All my sisters and their families came so it was fun having all the cousins around. My brother was supposed to come from Arizona with his wife and 3 boys but at the last minute something from work came up and he was unable to come. We missed him but we had fun anyway. Mandy and Matt brought Guitar Hero and Rock Band so we ended up staying late playing with everyone, while the little kids played in the playroom and played Wii.

Baby Brecken is growing so big and changing everytime I see him. He has the cutest smile and already has a little personality that is starting to shine through. He is such a happy baby. I think I have only heard him cry once or twice. We love him....

Sarah started walking this weekend, just a couple of steps but each day she gets a little more daring. I just know that by the time it's her birthday next weekend, she will be walking all over the place. You can already tell she gets a few more steps every day.

Sarah has taken to getting desert from her dad. Even if it's just a popcicle. She can totally tell when he is trying to hide some kind of treat from him and he always shares with her.
It's her favorite time at night, to share deseret with dad. That's where she gets her full figure from. She is so much fun to have around. I can't remember what it was like without her. We all love her so much....

Last weekend

I'm always a little slow to post things but I'm trying to be better at it. Last weekend my sister Trish gave Sarah the cutest hat that she made for her. She is so creative. It makes me feel like the creative family traits definitely skipped me. She made this hat, of course in one day and Sarah looks so cute in it. I love it.

Of course I had to intice Sarah with candy in order to get her to hold still for a picture. She is all over the place lately and never sits still. The older she gets the harder it is to get her to hold still for pictures...

Andrew and Sarah are so cute together. He is facinating to her still and the older she gets the more she wants his attention. She loves riding in the car with him because then she has someone to play with instead of being stuck in the backseat all by herself. Andrew is good with entertaining her also.

We got together for mom's birthday and got a picture with all the girls, I didn't get one with Brecken and Nick and Andrew but they were there. I think mom had fun with us just hanging out with her for her birthday. It's nice to get together and just talk. It seems like we haven't done that in a while, but with the holiday's coming I'm sure there will be lots more family time coming.....
