14 months and dress up

Meghan 8 years 5 months, Sarah 14 months, Jenna 6 years 8 months

Growing up way too fast!

Meghan decided to dress up tonight, Jenna joined in and before long the big girls had Sarah all dressed up too!

I love that they included Sarah and it looked like she was having just as much fun as they were.

Sarah is 14 months old and from this picture, you can see it is hard to get her to sit still for a picture (or should I say look at you for the picture).

She is one busy little lady. She finally started walking earlier this month (just like her Dad predicted!).

Sarah does a lot of talking and a little too much screaming along with it.

She loves to scream out Mama....all the time!! I love the sound of it and it never gets old.

Sarah is in size 3 diapers and 12-18 months clothes.

She still ONLY has 2 teeth...but the top gum has a lot of bumps, so we are expecting to see some new teeth soon.

Having two teeth does not stop her from eating all things edible (and trying a few not so edible things).

Just yesterday we were asking for the dog food she was trying to eat. She spit it right out (must not have been good).

She is a lovable little lady and loves to walk all over and get into any and everything she can.

She still loves to eat and is eating everything we eat ....no more baby food in the house!

Most recently she has started picking up the play phones and say "yah"!

She is sleeping so much better at night (she is actually sleeping all night from 730pm-6am-ish).

Life with a toddler is exhausting but so much fun!

day 12....

Since Rob's last shave.

This is what civilian life looks like for him.

It is pretty even all around...but this last picture makes this side look thicker.

The beard has brown, red and gray in it;)

washing bikes

We started today off with a basketball game. Jenna's team did well and won today. They seem to be out of their groove...but did pull off a win. She is really getting good at it and loves it. She doesn't seem to mind if they win or loose...just as long as she can get her hands on the ball during the game.

Next up.....washing vehicles. Rob washed his truck and then his motorcycle. My poor car was not included in the washing today. I stayed inside and made a little blankie (I'll post a picture of it on another post).

The girls decided to get on the action and get their bikes all cleaned up too. (I actually think they wanted to play with the hose.)

The neighbor, Erica, helped them and they even washed her bike too.

All clean:)

Sarah was taking a snooze while all the action was happening!

She would have loved to get out and help, but she needed a nap.

She wakes up way too early in the am....I think if we

had a rooster she would be waking him

up!ha

This weather felt more like summer to all of us. It will take us a little while longer to get use to all the sun and heat! We loved England and will miss the spring and summers there. I love a warm sunny day, but the south is a little too hot for me. Crazy to say that since we lived in the Southern California desert before we went to England and that was way to hot too:)

Still no news on what our next move will be. We are learning a lot about patience and it seems that the weeks are creeping by while waiting on news from the jobs Rob has applied for. He is on leave and is officially out of the Air Force on March 1.

If you head back up this post and take a closer look, you will see Rob is letting his hair grow....facial hair that is:)

I don't think the girls really like it, but it doesn't bother me.

Valentine's Day post...a little late

Happy Valentine's Day a little late. I was surprised with beautiful roses from all my sweeties. Meghan and Rob headed out on Saturday for a milkshake and came back with the flowers for me.

I think Meghan was the most excited about them.

Meghan and her new bear.

Jenna and her new Love Bug.

Sarah and her new bunny. I couldn't get her to sit still for the picture. She is on the go all day long.

I finally got a picture of Sarah with her bunny.

I hope you all had a great Valentine's Day too.

weekend update

Rob and I had a date on Saturday night. Mom and Dad (were down for a visit) watched the girls for us!

We live a wild life.....we went to Barnes and Noble bookstore and then ate at PF Changs for dinner.

Papa and Memom were able to watch Jenna play basketball on Saturday morning with a local youth team!

Jenna's team won and had a great game. Jenna was able to attempt two baskets, no they didn't go in, but the ball hit the rim both times.

Meghan was the picture taker for the day.

Sarah picked up both the big girls' DS games and was saying something to Meghan in this picture.

I was able to get a good picture of Memom and three of her girls!

13 months

Sarah is 13 months old and a very busy little girl.

She is a super fast crawler and can take a few steps, but hasn't taken off with walking just yet.

We think it will be any day and she will be running down the hall!ha

The hardest thing to do is keep her still and busy in one place for a few minutes.

She crawls all over and is into EVERYTHING.

She has been going to sleep on her own for about a week and she is doing great.

The only problem is she wakes a few times each night crying...my guess is because of teething pain.

Poor big sister, Jenna, shares a room with Sarah, so Jenna is super tired.

Sarah has two bottom teeth and four "bumps" on top...so hopefully the top teeth will "pop" in and we will get a break from teething for a little while.

Sarah eats all big girl foods and loves to snack too.

She is still in size 3 diapers and 12-18 months clothing.

She has started wearing the 6-12 month shoes too. I have her wearing the soft leather shoes, so it's like she is just in socks...but not!

Sarah loves to pick out hair bows, but doesn't keep them in very long.

She also loves to brush her hair and teeth.

Sarah is talking more and more and just the other day she said hot dog!! She loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and the show has a hot dog song and Sarah loves to dance to it!

5 needles....2 appointments later

Sarah and Sissy both had doctor appointments today.

Sarah had her 1 year check up!

She weighs 20lbs 3 oz and is 30 inches long.

Sarah wears size 12-18 months clothing and 18 month sleepers.

She is in size 3 diapers and 0-6 month shoes.

Sarah loves to pick out a bow for her hair after I get her dressed but she doesn't keep it in...it stays in for just a few minutes each day.

One of Sarah's favorite things is the TV remote...and she can use it too.

Sissy had a doctor appointment today too. She has a growth on her foot and it started bleeding and changing colors when we had snow/ice on the ground. The Vet did some lab work and it is a benign tumor (mass). They suggest we get it removed....but told us Sissy also has a heart murmur too...on a scale of 1-6 it is a 3. The Vet said Sissy could live a long time with the murmur or she could have heart failure quick...different with all dogs. Because of the heart murmur I don't think we will get the mass removed. I don't want to put her under with heart problems and the mass doesn't bother her.

This is after I told Sarah she was getting shots today! haha

Poor baby girl...this is what she looked like at the end of her doctor appointment.

She has an ear infection too...her first one and this is her first time on antibiotics.

My sweet little princess keeps us all on our toes and is one busy little lady!
