Life

These are some pictures of this last week, and they seem to be all of Sarah! Oh well, that is just how it is! Some weeks it is more pictures of Jonathan then Sarah!
Sarah absolutely loves watermelon, she must take after her Mom!!
This past week my Mom and I were able to Met up with a great friend of ours that we grew up with in California. Oh how I miss Kirsti!! It was great to talk with her and see where the Lord has has directed her paths. It was a good reminder that we all have different paths we are supposed to take, each id different, one is not better then the other just different! It is wonderful to see how she is doing good in New York and making a difference out there! The kids loved her! Sarah wanted to be held by her and wanted to continually touch her with her gross hands! Jonathan picked up her name way fast, it may help that we have a cousin named Kirsten. We ate lunch at the MOA, after we looked at some exhibits and if Kirsti wasn't moving as fast as Jonathan wanted he would say "Come here, Kirsten". It was way fun to see you Kirsti!

Sarah loves to be nakey, and she recently has found a new toy she like!
Sarah is growing up so much, I really don't think that she is almost 18 months old since she isn't walking it just makes me think that she is still little. But then I caught glances of her when she is actually walking she just looks like a big toddler! Sarah is doing more and more walking which is great! I try to encourage her to walk and not carry her, cause she just loves to be carried! Sarah is starting to sign more, she has made up her own sign for birdy. She is starting to say a few more words such as : hi, Dada, Mama (but she is actually directing them to us), she is getting the P syllable for Papa. It is coming! I need to help her with more sign words cause she just gets frustrated when she can't communicate and just squeals! Her hair is getting so blonde these days and way long in the back!
We are finally getting tomatoes out of our garden, little by little, and I totally forgot how amazing fresh grown tomatoes are! We are continually painting and almost half way done and getting better with each section! Happy Birthday Sweetie!! I have a wonderful husband that works so hard for our family and is working today. He is also, willing to pint on his Birthday! We are celebrating on Saturday, but I have a few surprises for him when he gets home! When I asked him what he wanted for his Birthday, he said he just wanted a Happy wife and kids!! Well, I guess he got one present already! We got an early present, this past weekend one of the mangers at Costco told Dave that after his student teaching was done he would have a job at Costco when he is done! We don't know all the details of it, but that is okay we just wanted a job to help pay the bills! With how the economy is it is a major blessing. A while back we fasted that we could keep Dave's job during student teaching, after the fast we both were at peace that everything would work out. Then the weeks to follow they just didn't seem to be working with him, and we both got very frustrated because we were losing a lot besides his job. But now we know that there is a job waiting for him maybe not in the pharmacy, but Heavenly Father can see the big picture and he is blessing us little by little, and helping us put different pieces into the puzzle!
I love this clip, I just think it is way cute, when they enjoy each other and play together! (Prior to taping Jonathan was helping Sarah all by himself without us saying that anything!
