Weekend Fun

So, it has taken me a while to write again. I left my camera at home, so no pics today. I will be sure to update with pics as soon as I can.

Sarah is just as cute as ever! She is standing up all the time now. She stands up on Daisy, the couch, chairs, and the piano. She even can reach the keys because she is so tall and plays the piano for us! It is really cute! I have an adorable picture of her jamming out on the piano. Perhaps I have a Mozart on my hands...hmm?

Jordan and I have started on our basement. After years of saying we were going to start we finally have. I am glad too. I need an office space for all my Private Quarters things. Right now they are hanging out my room taking almost my entire side of the room. It will be nice to have my space back again and not sharing it with catalogs and such.

Jordan and our neighbor kid Adam planted 4 trees in our yard last Saturday. One red maple and three eastern red buds. I just have to wait a few years for them to mature and I will have one good looking yard. That is the hard thing about building a home--landscaping. I will have to take a pic of my yard so everyone can see what we have done. I love my front yard, my backyard is getting there (we want to add black lava rock all around the perimeter of the house and fence). Give my plants another few years to mature and we are set! How is everyone else's yards coming along?

My veggie garden is doing really well this year too. I have been cultivating lettuce for the last couple of weeks. I think in a week or two I will have some peas as well. Yum! Sarah will enjoy those just as much as me. I hope you all have fun plans for the weekend! I goin' fishin'!

Life Reminders

Yesterday a man from my ward was suddenly killed in a motorcycle accident. He wasn't disobeying any laws, in fact he was driving under the speed limit, when he hit a deer on 1300East in SLC. He had a helmet on too. But his life was still taken. He has left behind a wife and 7 kids, the oldest 14 and the youngest 18 months.

It is sad that this sort of thing has to happen to make me remember how precious this life really is. I can't say I will die tomorrow or the next, but I think we should live our lives as if it could. We really never know when our time may come. I can only hope I will be around long enough to see Sarah grow old. Jordan and I have always prepared for the worst--we both have life insurance policies--but it would still be devastating nonetheless.

Well, that being said I just want to let you all know I love ya! Truly I do, otherwise I wouldn't have passed my blog website on to you!!! God bless everyone of you and your families!

Bear Lake Fun!

Bear Lake was actually nice this weekend. Monday was rainy, but that was it. It was partly cloudy the rest of the time, so when the sun was out it was really nice! Sarah had a great time on the swings. She cooed, laughed, and giggled. Isn't she cute?!

We also played with Abby and Auntie Roo on the huge playground Uncle DelLoy made last summer. Abby loved going down the slide and pretending to be a horse. Auntie Roo was just glad to be with her two cutest nieces this weekend. Sorry you missed out Adam!!

It wasn't warm enough to go boating, unfortunately, but we enjoyed a good game of soccer. Mike and Becca were on a team and Jon, Jordan, and me were on the other team. I think it was fair considering Jordan doesn't play soccer at all. Jon and I won, but only because I held Becca down while Jon scored. Hey, fair is fair in family and soccer...right?! All in all, a great relaxing weekend at the Lake. I hope there are plenty more to come this summer!

Gearing up for the weekend...

So, I am ready for a long, repeat long! weekend. I need the break from all the stresses of the world. So even though this weekend is going to be crappy weather, I am still looking forward to freezing my rear off at Bear Lake with my family. Hey, there is heaters, so there isn't a problem! Now the time has come to pull out all the family group games, pop some popcorn, and be prepared to laugh about silly things (mainly because Jonny is brilliantly hilarious!).

Sarah is also going to enjoy her first trip to Bear Lake! Get ready baby, this is not be your last! I missed a lot of trips to Bear Lake last summer, due to bed rest and the pregnancy, so I am determined to make up for it this year. I am ready to break out the wakeboard and fly! I hope your weekend is just as fun!!!

Also, thanks to those who are reading my book! Any and all input is welcome. If you read this little note and want to read my book, let me know and I will send it to you. (It is YA sci-fi)

Getting Ready for Memorial Weekend

So, I am so excited to be headed out for the weekend! We are headed to Bear Lake. This will be Sarah's first official trip to Bear Lake with Nana, Bumpa, and the rest of my family! I am sure Daisy is going to have a heart attack finally being able to swim again after a very long break (since I was on bed rest all last summer).

Also, Jordan is so proud of himself, he has taught Sarah to say "da-da". It is really cute. But now, since she is always saying "da-da" he is dubbed the dirty diaper changer because Sarah is asking for him. Fair is fair, right?! Now, since he feels bad that she isn't saying "ma-ma" he is trying to teach it to her. Well, fair is fair in love and war. And so the war of Sarah's vocabulary shall begin! At least she started signing before speaking, not that she really knows what "da-da" means. Right now she is just saying it to say it. Although, I must admit, it is really cute.

Sarah is Crawling!!!

Well....well...Sarah has finally joined the ranks of the crawlers! Last week, May 7th, Sarah decided it was high time to crawl and stop rolling as her means of transportation. After all, she is a little thrill seeker and crawling is quicker than rolling. Not to mention, everything is at a different eye level and so much more interesting!

She is so cute! Here is a video of when she was first learning how to crawl, that is why she looks like she is struggling just a little. Now...well, just watch out she just might crawl all of over you!

Also, for Mother's Day we went and visited Nana in Logan. It was a lot of fun and we were glad to have almost everyone there. Justin and Lindsey live in PHX, so it wasn't like they could drop everything and come, but we missed them all the same. Here is Sarah pretty in purple in Nana's garden out front.

It was nice to have dinner at Liz's home. She is so pregnant! Her belly is really cute too. She is one of those really cute pregnant women who the rest of detest because we just looked fat. Well, at least that is one positive thing Liz can remember about her pregnancy.

Sarah also has a cold, poor thing. This time she is coughing. Anna got a cold at work and passed it on to Sarah. I feel for her! She is cranky and sleepy most of the time now and I know she must feel miserable. Poor Sarah.

Otherwise, nothing new is happening on Resch lane. Just coasting along. I hope everyone else had a wonderful Mother's Day!

New Trick!

Well, Jordan finally taught Sarah something, well, a trick that is. It is so adorable. She can now clap! I thought it was so adorable that I captured it on video. So, drum roll please......

Sarah the Clapper!

Sarah the Clapper 2

Sarah is now 8 1/2 months old and is as cute as ever, as you just saw. She does an army crawl, where she stretches her little arms in front of her and pulls herself forward. So, she really isn't crawling just yet, but is incredibly close. I am beginning to worry that she will just one day get her little legs working the way she wants them to and she'll be off! Well, I suppose we all did that too, right?

Well, enjoy!
