Tribute to Sabrinna

I have been thinking about Sabrinna a lot lately. I decided I wanted to pay tribute to her and her fun personality. I love her so much!!! She is so much fun to play with and makes us laugh all the time. She LOVES to color and do puzzles. Coloring must take place at least 3 times a day or else the day is not complete! She is starting to like the princess idea and dressing up. She loves to help me do dishes Her favorite is to take a bath in the sink after all the dishes are done. She loves to be outside and play at the park. She is getting better at singing the words to songs we are teaching her. At times she will get up at the piano and play and sing for me. Most of what she sings is her own made up songs. Something she does that's really cute and at times funny is she will say, "Oh man, Oh boy, oh gosh" and slap her leg with her hand.

I love to see these little things that she does everyday and how her personality is really shining now. She has changed so much over the last 2 years. As I have looked at her baby pictures its shocks me at how fast she has changed physically and mentally. She is such a joy and am grateful to be her mother.

Alpine Loop

I have wanted to go up the canyon since the colors started to change. I knew that we were going a little late to see them at there best but we went anyways. We ended up driving the Alpine Loop. We stopped at Cascade Springs and a few turn outs along the the canyon. It was a nice drive and I was glad that I got to see some of the colors even if most of them had already fallen. Plus we got a nice family picture...even though it will be out dated by the weekend.

8 days and counting...

I have come up on the last week of my pregnancy, technically I have two weeks left but I will be having the baby early. It is amazing how quickly the time has gone by. We found out a couple of weeks ago that our little guy is breech. Which means that we are going to have another c-section, something we were already planning on for more then one reason. I am grateful for modern technology which allows for us to do this. On the flip side I am not looking forward to the longer recovery.

Due to some other things going on with my body we thought that I would go into labor earlier then when our c-section was scheduled. I put myself on a mild bed rest for a week or so hoping to ensure that labor would not come to early. My doctor and I are both shocked that I have not gone into labor. Who knows though I could end up having the baby tonight?!?! Anyways we are excited and nervous anticipating the arrival of Tanner. If all goes to plan I will have Baby Tanner, as Sabrinna calls him, next Thursday around 12:30.

Hee Haw Corn Maze

This last weekend we went to the corn maze over in Pleasant Grove. It has been years since we last went to one. They had so many fun activities. Sabrinna got to ride in the little animal tractor, which she loved and wanted to go again and again. They had a slide, a small petting zoo, petal cars, a hay ride, and a haunted house (which we did not do but were told it was good). We were there until after it got dark so we played hide-n-seek in the maze. It was a lot of fun and well worth the money.

Kennacott Copper Mine

All summer we have wanted to go out to see Kennacott Copper Mine. Steve had last Monday off and so we decided to make the trip. Are friend Eric, who Steve works with, came with us. It was rather cold since we had just gotten that nice snow storm. It was still very impressive to see and learn about the mine. They work 24/7 and have a very impressive system for extracting the copper. The trucks they use are MASSIVE! When you look at them down in the pit they don't look that big but when you see one of the tires from the trucks your perspective changes. It was a nice trip and we were glad we took the time to go and see the mine.

AAACHOOO!

This week we have been hit by the sick bug!! We have pretty much kept to the house in hopes of not spreading this cold. Sabrinna has had a runny nose and a little cough. Luckily she has not been acting to sick, which normally means watching lots of TV and constant attention from mom. She has still been under the weather and not herself. Steve seemed to get hit by it the worse. In the 4 years we have been married he has only taken work off once for sickness, the man just doesn't get sick. He was so sick that he took yesterday off and laid in bed most of the day. I felt really bad but he is doing lots better!! Keep you fingers crossed that my luck does not run out and I get the bug. Its been nice to be able to help Steve and Sabrinna out and not feel run down my self.
