Austin Collie...wait what!!?

So this past Sunday after Sarah left me for yet another week...let me tell you her leaving me is the hardest thing ever.  I will never care about anything more than my little girl.  She is my pride and joy and I love her so so so so so so so much!  Every single day or minute that I have to spend without her makes my insides turn.  I just like being able to give her baths at night and read her stories and do all the little fun activities she and I do together, so when she is not with me I feel as though I am missing a part of me.  However, this Sunday there was a young singles adults activity at my church and the guest speaker was none other than WR Austin Collie from the Indianapolis Colts.  Let me tell you I have only been into football for two seasons now, but I love the game.  I started watching last year which was Austin's first year and he was a great player!  Then I found out he was mormon and that just makes him even more cool!  So he had some great words and then at the end I got a picture with him!  What a way to start my week, however I got sick Sunday night making my week not start off so well, however I hope to start feeling better soon!!  I only have 5 more days till I see Sarah and I am going crazy!

Sarah's Birthday

For Sarah's 4th bday we worked in the morning and then later that afternoon we did so much stuff and we were exhausted!!! We went to chuck e cheese and played some video games, then we went to a spray park, and then we went to a different park, one without water lol and then the night ended at Applebee's Sarah's favorite restaurant and she ate mac n cheese and they gave her a fudge sundae! It was a good day!

Retherford Park

Sarah loves going to parks and so when she asked my if we could go randomly I said, "YES!" We plugged in a park into the GPS and went to play. This was a small park and there wasn't anyone there! So we got to run around the park and yell and scream all we wanted! We went down the big swirly slide and then there was this big rock that Sarah wanted to play on. So we were running around and then all of the sudden something went through my flip-flop and into my foot! I yelled cause it hurt, and I was trying to get it out and Sarah tried to play Dr. and normally that wouldn't be a problem, but it really HURT! I got it out and we still had a great time!

Edinburgh Premium Outlets

A month or two ago my Gram-gram came to visit after the family was up in Minnasota, and she wanted to go to Edinburgh Premium Outlets and I had to work so I didn't get to go with them which made me a little sad! So again no one was able to do anything with Sarah and I and I thought what a nice day we should go Edinburgh and it really was a spur of the moment thing. So Sarah and I listen to her music all the way there and it was about a 50 minute drive and she loves to sing so it was way fun. We get there and of course I take her picture because I do for everything, and we started to shop. The best part about Sarah is that she DOES like to shop! So we went to the Carter's Outlet and I got her this cute shirt ON SALE for the Fall/Winter season! Which it is sad I am not putting Sarah in toddler clothes anymore, maybe some 5t's here and there but I am going to be buying her the XS 4's in the kids section of most stores. I say that is is sad because that means Sarah is growing up!! On the way out of Carter's I see a $3 table of shirts and there is a Birthday Girl shirt for 3 dollars! So I bought it so she can wear it on her birthday, but the sad thing about that is I didn't take a picture of the shirt. So we get those two shirts at Carter and continue to the next store. I wanted to go to the OshKosh store so Sarah held my hand and we strolled along and found the OshKosh Store. We go in and I am looking around and I didn't find much that I liked, but I did find a light jacket for this Fall that was really cute for $14 and it was OshKosh!!!! I loved it! So I bought Sarah this light jacket and Sarah wanted to put it on. Let me tell you something, it was like 90 degrees outside, but Sarah insisted that she wear it, so I let her, and she walked for a good 2 minutes and then turns and pulls on my hand and says, "Mommy, I'm HOT." All I did was giggle a little and help her take it off. We went home after that because she got tired and it was hot, but we had so much fun!

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse

So I got to go see Eclipse at midnight and it was SOOOOO awesome!!!! The reason I say this is because the entire theater was sold out! Yes, AMC in Castleton opened all their theaters for this event and that is 14 theaters! It was so awesome the whole atmosphere of the place was cool. My sister and I couldn't have been more excited! I didn't even like or want to like Twilight at first and then my best friend made me watch the first movie and I loved it and then I was talking to her brother about the books, and SO I took the first three books and read them before New Moon came out. It was a great movie and I can't wait to see breaking dawn.

Windsor Village Spray Park

It was a hot day and so we decided it would be a nice day to run around in some water!  So we went to Windsor Village Park on Shadeland Ave.  I love that Sarah loves these so much, she is my little water bug.  Her imagination is great!  Sometimes she pretends to be Arial, or a dolphin or fish!  She is so funny, we have two sand buckets, but she doesn't use them for sand she wants to use them to collect water and then dump it where ever she feels like she needs!  This was a fun day and she was full of smiles!!!

Sarah's First Talk

In my church the kids from the ages of 4 to 12 I think, go to what is called primary.  It is Sunday school for the little kiddos, but it is so much fun and I know because I have taught them.  To see all these wonderful children learning about the gospel and when they sing, oh my goodness it just touches your heart.  So every Sunday except the first Sunday of the month the kids give a little talk about some sort of church topic.  Sarah gave her first one and I was so excited.  As everyone by now knows I am a freak when it comes to taking pictures or capturing a video, I want to get every moment of Sarah's life I don't want anything to be left out.  So I am at church with my camera ready to take pictures and a video of her talk.  I did not get a video and I did not get pictures during, but I did get pics after.  Sarah gave her talk on the Holy Ghost because that was the theme of the month I believe.  She had practiced and practiced, but when it was time to do it she paniced a little and we cut out some lines from the talk, but over all I am so proud of my daughter!!  I can't wait for her to be baptized and know what a great blessing it is to have the Holy Ghost with you.  Sarah was also very excited for her Nana and G-pa to come and watch her speak. 

The 4th of July 2010

I can't even begin to write how much fun I had on this 4th of July!!  I had bought Sarah the cutest shirt from the Children's Place that said America's sweetheart and she had blue and red shorts on, in addition to that Sarah had a very cute headband that looked like it had the flag on it, blue earrings and then she got her nails painted red!!  She was all ready to go in her Anerican Spirit!!!!!  We went out on the boat a few hours before the fireworks went off!  My best friend Carolyn and her daughter (my daughters best friend) Norah got to go with us and I was so happy!  So we went out and there was swimming and tubing and food and it was a great time.  I forgot my swimsuit and Sarah wanted to go swimming, SOOOOOO I jumped in with my clothes on because her happiness is more important and I wanted her to have a great time!  So we get done swimming and Sarah could not be more excited about seeing the fireworks so after the swimming and the tubing we go and find a spot to park and watch the fireworks!  So we find a spot and there is still like a hour away but all of the houses around us kept setting them off and Sarah would jump up and down in excitement!!!!!!!!  So the fireworks went off at 10:15 and they were wonderful and when they were finished all the boats were honking and everyone was screaming and it was great!  So I try to pull up the anchor and I can't get it I am like ok I know that I am not that weak!!!  So my dad tries to get it up and it was stuck on something!  I felt better about myself lol!! So we finally get the anchor up after we move the boat backwards, and my dad takes us down the right dock and then he is convinced that it is the wrong one so he turns around and we go down a different dock and so when he figures out we were going down the right one we turn around again and park in the right dock!  Everything about this night was perfect!!!!!!
