Sadie vs. Peep

I know this is so wrong. What kind of parent am I? But if you saw your adorably chubby baby doing this you wouldn't stop filming either. This is definitely material to show the boyfriends later! So don't forget to turn off my blog music on the side and enjoy.

Our lovely Easter

We had a lovely Easter with our families. It's so fun to see Sadie start to interact more with her cousins. Merry and Sadie were so adorable in the porch swing, I couldn't stop myself from taking a million pictures. Sadie wanted strawberries for lunch so I took her out of her cute dress and I took all these pictures of her without it. I could just kick myself! No worries, I'm going to my friend Maria's next week where she can take pictures of Sadie in it in her new little studio! Yea! My Father in Law got this great shot of a birds nest that was built right on top of a power cord hanging from there porch! It was so fun to see the new little baby birds poking there heads out for food. New life on Easter, how neat!

Ta Daaa!

For those of you who know me also know that I grew up in a loving but unaesthetic home. Unless you of coarse count a Rubbermaid entertainment center in which adorned our living room for quite some time. I never paid attention to that sort of thing growing up in a house full of girls with our dad being everything as well as the interior decorator. I do have fond memories of sitting around with Dad and my sisters trying to decide what beach picture we could put above the fireplace and maybe we should put a palm tree here or there. It never happened until I was already well out of the house. At least he showed interest in making our house as cozy as possible and it always was. So why have I become, in a word, obsessed with the idea of decorating? I don't know but I am having so much fun. I have to take it slow, I've found myself to be a little picky (Micah's translation: having expensive taste). So this collage was my latest project. It took me a while to get it just right. Most of you are probably thinking "big deal" but this is a big for me okay. In other news, but still relating to my topic of decorating my home, a Pottery Barn Outlet is going in our outlet center this month! Who ever said this little town had nothing to offer? ( Well, me, except for having our families close I can't find much excitement here), but now oh the joy!

Anniversary

10 of the many (less embarrassing)things I love about Micah

1. He is the most wonderful father to Sadie. I know it's been said before but the best thing in the world is to see your husband playing with his baby.
2. To me, he's the funniest man alive. (Don't tell him that) He can always make me laugh even when I'm trying really hard to be mad. Besides his hansome baby blue eyes it was definitely his sense of humor that attracted me. As for him I think it was the Darth Vader shirt I was wearing when we first met.
3. Micah knows he's not that great about helping around the house without being asked but I've learned to just ask he is happy to do anything I want without complaint.
4. He makes the extra effort to be involved in my families activities even when it's not really his thing and still makes the best out of it. Example: Backpacking to Half Dome or anything involving not sleeping in our cozy bed at night.
   
5. He has never said anything to purposely to hurt my feelings. He's usually good at diffusing our arguments pretty fast. He always apologizes first. I wish I was more like him in that regard.
6. He goes out everyday and works really hard so that I can stay home with Sadie.
7. Have I mentioned the eyes yet. I just melt.
8. He encourages me to continue to write. ( I haven't done much of it lately but him reminding me of that talent is what I really need to get back into it) I love that he cares about that.
9. He can carry ALL the groceries in in ONE trip. It's so awesome, though I'm a little scared for the eggs.
10. Micah always makes sure to tell me everyday how much he loves me and I really appreciate that.

Happy 3rd Anniversary Love!
