Sarah is . . .

Here is the first video footage of Sarah on the blog. We have her on camera, I just haven't blogged. This was too cute to pass up. We love our little Sarah Babe!!

Yes, I am making a blog post!!

I know you can't believe that I am actually blogging. Life is a little crazy with two kids 13 months apart and time goes by really fast. I decided that I should update since Sarah is now almost 9 months old and Linden is almost 2. Natalie and Kelly, this is for you!!!

Here is Sarah Babe at almost 9 months in a sailor dress that my mom and Whitney found. It reminds us all of Grandma Jones. Yes, Sarah is bald and she pulls her bows off her head and eats them. She is starting to get hair and we are excited. It is very light and very short, but very thick.

Aunt Whee-B (a.k.a. Whitney, Linden's favorite aunt) took pictures of Linden in Grandma's new chairs. He is growing up. A couple more months and he will be two.

Here is our cute Sarah on Easter. She is such a fun baby.

Linden is trying out his new car. He loves it and rides it all over. A button on the top says ready, vroom, vroom, vroom, Go! He pushes it all of the time.

Happy Easter!! The Easter Bunny brought the kids a cool ride on car. As you can see, Sarah loves it. I know you aren't shocked that is a #24 Jeff Gordon car. Our kids are indoctrinated.

Sarah loves to eat food. She made a mess with carrots as you can see. She has just started eating graham crackers and thinks they are yummy!!

Linden got new bunk beds and he and Jackie are trying them out. He loves his new bed with tractor and Lightning McQueen sheets. Let's not forget the tractor blanket and pillow from Grandma Greta.

Linden has a new playroom. We converted our storage closet between the kitchen and living room into his toy room. It is the best because the toys all have a place to go and he loves to play in there. Sarah has started army crawling in there to play with brother.

The kids love to go for walks in the stroller. This is our make shift double stroller. It works for now. Linden has to be in front so he doesn't bug Sarah and until Sarah starts bugging him, we are okay. She has already started pulling at his hat. They love to be outside.

Sarah's Blessing!

Our little Princess!

This is very typical of Linden with Sarah. We couldn't get a good shot. Notice the Binky is in, then brother pulls it out, and then sister is screaming!! We love our cute kids!

Here's our family!

Grandpa Van and Grandma Greta.

Grandpa Kelly and Grandma Linda.

Great Grandpa and Grandma Beckstead.

Sarah Anne is being held by her Great Grandma Anne Beckstead.

Posing with cousins that were there. We miss Sydney and Maggie!!

Kroll Family Reunion

The Kroll Family Reunion was on September 13 in Bountiful. We love getting together with the Krolls. It's always fun to see family and eat great food.

Here's a shot of the Gene and Beverly Jones posterity that was there.





Grandpa was wearing Linden's hat and Sarah is being held by Aunt Emily.

Cherry Hill Family Reunion

I'm behind as usual, but our computer was getting repaired so what can I say. Here are pictures from our family reunion at Cherry Hill with the Becksteads. We had a great time.

Linden loved the water and loved being with his cousins.

The car I would have to say was the highlight of the reunion for Linden although he and Sarah also enjoyed seeing grandma and grandpa.

Being a mom of two!!

I figured out how to get a shower the other day when naps didn't happen at the same time. I gated Linden in his room and had Sarah in the swing right outside the bathroom door. I could play peek-a-boo with Linden and he had toys to play with. He could also look at sister, but couldn't touch! I was quite proud of myself.

This is just a cute picture of the two kids in the car. Linden loves having a buddy in the backseat. This was Sarah's first ride in the car seat! She did great!

Pictures of Linden & Sarah

Linden is a great helper. He loves to feel the water to see if it is the right temperature.

Sarah got dressed up to attend a baptism. It was her first outing. She was awake during the entire baptism.

Notice, no oxygen. She is off and doing great. What a miracle!!!

Big brother loves his little sister and she loves him, too. When he loves her too much, she tolerates him. They are fun!!

Sarah is saying hello to the world from the swing that she loves. Thanks Wes and Jenn for letting us borrow it.
