Time with Daddy!

Steve has been in Mississippi for the last two weeks doing some training with the Army. Sabrinna did very well while he was away. She would say "daddy" and put her hands up making the gesture as to 'where is he'. He got home last Friday and Sabrinna has loved spending time with him. She also loves to help mow the lawn. Steve put her on the lawn mower and they proceed to enjoy there time together. It was getting to be nap time for Sabrinna but she still wanted to be with Daddy. Sabrinna started falling asleep on his lap. It was very cute!

Love of Books!

I think every mother likes to see there kids enjoy books and stories. I was doing dishes the other day and turned around to see Sabrinna sitting on the floor with books all around her. She loves to look at the pictures and turn the pages all by herself.

Beauty Stylings of Aunt Theora

Our routine for getting ready for bed includes a bath almost every night. Aunt Theora moved home a couple of weeks ago and wanted to have some fun. She tried to make Sabrinnas hair look like Wolverine off of Xmen, Alfalfa from Little Rascals, and then finally The Little Mermaid "dingalhopper" gone wild. Sabrinna seemed to enjoy having her hair played with even though her face says other wise.

Making Bread

A couple of weeks ago I decided to make some bread. We keep our flour in a big bucket. I knew that if Sabrinna got to it that flour would be all over the place. So I set the bucket on the counter and went about making the bread. As I started to clean up the mess I set the bucket on the flour. As you know it only takes a couple of seconds for something to happen. In the time I set the flour bucket on the flour and wiped off the counter Sabrinna had dumped about 2-3 cups of flour on the floor. Just as predicted. She was really cute and helped me clean it up with her own special broom. I however have learned my lesson as where to and not to put the flour.

Easter

For Easter this year we thought it would be fun to go to the local Easter Egg Hunts. Well after some research I found out that Highland cities hunt was at 9am and that Alpines was at 10am so we participated in both cities festivities. Steve was coaching Sabrinna before the hunts began about picking the eggs up. As the egg hunt began Sabrinna set out, with help of course, to the first egg. As she approached the egg she just stood there...Steve started saying, "Don't freeze up, its right there just reach down and pick it up." It was really funny as she just looked at us like what do you think I am a fool! We all had a good time and later had a small hunt in the backyard as well with her cousin.

Where's Sabrinna?

We came upon owning a lot of stuffed animals. We set them all up and let Sabrinna play with them but first can you find her? Okay its not that hard but its still a lot of animals!

Brad and Rodney!

Steve got some pretty cheap tickets to the Brad Paisley and Rodney Atkins concert off of Ebay. Steve took his sister Kellie. They had an awesome time... and still take about it.

Update

I have neglected our families blog page for a while. Hopefully these posts will suffice in representing what we have been up to the last few months.




Sabrinna is a marshmallow in her snow gear. However, it didn't stop her from having fun. She would stay outside as long as we would let her. She loved to pull the sled around and walk in the snow...that is when it wasn't to deep that she could get around.

Little Moments like these...

Little moments like these are what melt your heart. Sabrinna is so cute and fun to be around.

Sabrinnas new Baby!

Grandma Michelle got Sabrinna a baby stroller for Christmas. She loves putting her baby doll in the stoller and pushing it around the house. The other day it went from the baby to the cat.

TAGGED!

The rules of the game should be posted at the beginning of the post. Each player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves. At the end of the post, the player then tags 6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

1.I love the Food Network and Discovery channel! My favorite shows are Rachael Rays 30 Minute Meals, Dirty Jobs, and an occasional Myth Busters. I like to learn some technic for cooking and then see how many ways Mike Rowe can get dirty.

2.I have a flare for the the domestics. I like cooking, cleaning, crafts, sewing, scrapbooking and those type of things.

3.The outdoors calls to me. I was raised spending lots of time in the mountains. I love to go hiking, jeeping, and camping. (Although I have to admit its been a while since we have been.)

4.Random facts about me: I am left handed, my toes are painted bright red, and I played the clarinet for 6 1/2 years, I also have not spoken in church since my sister left on her mission in 2002. (Hopefully I did not just curse myself to speak sharing that bit of information)I am only sharing five, instead of six, bits of information because this point has 4 facts about me.

5.Last and most important, Sabrinna and Steve are the love of my life! They bring so much joy and fulfillment to me. I know I would be lost without them. I also love my Savior and know He lives!

Welcome the New Year!

So we begin a new year. It seems like just the other day we were welcoming the year 2000. With it I am sure we will have lots of surprises and memories to make. Life has gotten busy again for our family as we have moved back to Utah and are surrounded by family. We are now awaiting our move to South Korea. Steve leaves on Saturday and hopefully Sabrinna and I will be over soon after.... I did something pretty stupid the other day and it will postpone when we go over. I have now retired from the sport of sledding. For those of you that know I broke my leg sledding in 6th grade. Well we went sledding the other day and I broke my ankle sledding. I feel so dumb! It has been really humbling because I have to rely on Steve and my family for so much right now. Its hard for Sabrinna because she doesn't understand why I can't carry her around any more and follow her into the kitchen to get a snack. I am so grateful that I have a family that is willing to help me out. So already our new year has started with a bang and I am sure there will be more surprises to come. Happy New Year!
