Sarah's 2nd Birthday Party

Sarah had a great 2nd birthday party. We invited friends and their children, family, neighbors, and all the families from Ms. Gloria's. I think everyone had a good time, despite the rain.

This is Sarah's pretty (and yummy) birthday cake.

All the kids playing in the moon walk.

Pizza is served!

(a yard full of people!)

I'm so glad that Sarah knows how to open gifts now...

Spring flowers!

I have to admit--we have a beautiful garden in our yard. I love the Spring when everything comes into bloom. I took these pics of the first emerging flowers with our new camera.

These are my irises on the side of the garden path.

Hastas on the path (above) and the hosta garden area (below).

Clematis growing on the mailbox.

When the hydrangeas come into bloom, I'll be sure to take more photos. They are just beautiful, and we have lots of bushes of different colors and varieties. Right now, our yard is full of day lillies in bloom. They are also all over the yard in groups--in the front border, in the side bed, and in a garden area off the path. So pretty!

Sarah's sand table

Aunt Becky got Sarah a sand/water table for her birthday---and she LOVES it! All the kids had fun playing with it at Sarah's birthday party.

My Mother's Day

I had the greatest mothers day that anyone could have asked for!

Stephen and Sarah took me out to dinner Saturday night (which as some of you know, is not always fun with Sarah being 2). It was actually a wonderful evening. We went to a local Italian place, sat out on the patio, Sarah was wonderful and stayed in he seat and ate dinner, and then we walked around the park and let Sarah play in the fountains. Wonderful evening!

On sunday morning, Stephen made me breakfast--cheese eggs, sausage, and biscuits. Yummy! I even had some time to myself, while Sarah was napping that afternoon (for 3 hours!)--Stephen went outside to clean his truck and I got to watch a girlie movie by myself and relax. After dinner, Stephen took Sarah outside and they played on her new tricycle for almost an hour, giving me yet some more relax time!

So, a heartfelt thanks to my wonderful husband, who really made my mothers day special!

Cutie Sarah

These pics really show her adorable-ness!

In this one, she is saying "I don't know" and doing the hand gestures just like mommy does!

Sarah's first egg hunt

I thought I would share some pics of Sarah doing her first egg hunt in the back yard with her cousins, Jordan and Jennifer. She LOVED it!
