Birthday fun with her cousin

Drew and SA on his 1st birthday.
Drew is Andy's son.
SA definitely had fun checking out his new wagon

Giving the birthday boy a kiss

Thinking

"Being unwanted,
unloved, uncared for,
forgotten by everybody,
I think that is a much greater hunger,
a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat."
~Mother Teresa

"she's not a baby anymore"

18 Month check-up and shots


This little monkey is still growing
the same way she has all along. We
are so very thankful for a great report of her mental/physical development. Dr. Amy felt her head and said "her soft spot is gone, she isn't a baby anymore". aooooooohhhhhhh.



So here are her stats:



31.75 inches long 50%


21.50 lbs. 10%


speaking over 50 words and putting some of them together..Such as "bye bye water, big truck, rain , wet"
Yay!!! Oh, and she runs




Here is her sweet Doctor and SA liked her today but probably won't any longer because I think she will remember that she gets shots from now on.. She called her "octor" How cute is that?

She didn't like the shots today and spent the whole ride home and all the way through lunch telling me that she had an owie and hurt. owie, hurt. hurt momma, owie.. and this was in a sweet little whiney voice.. Needless to say, she had a great nap!

CEL E BRATE good times, come on!

My girl Kerri had a birthday yesterday and we had a fun time celebrating her. In this picture is Heidi, Kerri, Cheley and Celeste.

God has put some incredible girls in my life who have helped point me to the Lord, walk through trials with, pick me up when I have been face down on the ground, and live life to the full with. If you are that friend to me, THANK YOU!

He is so sweeet to us.

some BIG girl stuff

Yep, she has discovered her belly button Looking for Dada to come home

She has mastered stacking the blocks!

LOVES to read her books.. Please notice how cute her little feet are all propped up so her

knees bend to hold the book.. She does this all the time

Learning how to place her rings on the pole by size.. She does not have it mastered~

Also, if you look at her little desk, that is the desk that Matt's parents re-did

for her. It was Debbie's as a child and then Matt used it too when he was her age.

They did some art work on it with her name. Cute!
Her newest thing is "Draw". This child loves to draw

A Full day

We had some visitors today and it was FUN.. My cool friend Sherry brought Elle over to play with SA and they had a great time together. After they played awhile and had their snacks, we took off to go shopping at a new store where we could all save even more money on our bargain shopping trips. Thanks for coming over and hanging out Elle, see ya soon! Sherry, I had fun with you tooooo.

aawww, what pretty little face. They both wanted to sit on the bench. They are about 3 months apart. Sweetness

Then, my friend Cheley called and said they were going to be out our way and wanted to stop by. How awesome is that? Love, love, luv Cheley, and here she is bringing the kiddos out! Her two older boys were at VBS.

I say kids, because Cheley and Marty are doing Respid Foster parenting and this little cutie has been with them all week.. Such a sweetie. Cheley has an enormous heart and I am sooo soooooo proud of her for being used by God to minister to little kiddos.

Here is her son Eli on SA's little rocking chair and he had a good time sitting on it. Isn't he cute?

Now on to the projects of the day.. We are having an

extension put on to our patio and the work began

TODAY.. SA was having a blast looking out the door

watching the big machinery tear up the ground. She

also was loving seeing her Uncle Andy who is the

Foreman on the job! :) She was calling Uncle Andy

"DeeDAY" today. Yah, I don't know.

A picture of it before

And now a work in progress

WHAT A DAY.. Lots of fun and

activity over here. Whew, now I

am going to bed...

oh Mrs. Heather

If I could have understood what SA was trying to tell

me about her day with Mrs. Heather and Georgia, I am

sure it would have been something like this:

"Momma, Mrs. Heather is so sweet, she rocked me

and sang to me before she layed me down for my

naps.

Momma, Mrs. Heather is really silly, I mean, Look at

me in this picture. We had so much fun, she let me

try on all these head bands and she said "ooooh

Sarah Avery don't you just look so pretty, try these

glasses on cuz I know your momma would love those.
seriously, look at how fun this is"

Momma, Mrs. Heather is very kind, she loved on me

and took care of me all day even when she was tired

and Georgia didn't feel so hot, we still all still had a

good day.

OOoooooh, Momma, I didn't really wanna leave

because I was having so much fun. When can I go back?"

WE LOVE YOU MRS. HEATHER and thank You and Georgia

for taking care of SA and playing on Wednesday.
