See ya next week!

I'm leaving on Thursday for Manhattan! I can't possibly love it as much as last time- right? I have a feeling I will. Michael says he is taking 365 pictures of NYC so I can start my own NYC daily photo blog. Stay tuned! Here are some pictures of the kids to tide you over while I'm gone.


Samantha with her bottle that we FINALLY got rid of. Yep, she'll be 2 on the 19th so its about time.


Ashley got her face painted at the safety fair by our house.


Taylor really wanted to get his face painted- but he was TERRIFIED of the "mascot" a guy in a stuffed dog costume, who was walking around. SO, Michael said he would paint his face at home.


Of course, then Samantha wanted hers done too.


We're just getting excited for Halloween. Except for Halloween, we will be the Cullen Family. Yep that's right, a family of vampires. Will someone please invite us to their Halloween party so we can wear our cool costumes? :)
Have a good week!

Things go bump in the night...

At midnight last night, I woke up suddenly, thinking I heard the curtains move on the window by my bed. I sat up and looked at them for about 10 seconds, then figured I was imagining things and laid back down. A few minutes later I heard breathing and shuffling around. It freaked me out. So I did what any good wife would do and woke up Michael.

Sarah: "Michael! There is someone in the curtains!"

Michael: "What?!"

Sarah: "I'm sure its the kids, but its freaking me out!"

He tried to turn on the lamp next to our bed, it didn't work so he used his cell phone light.
I got out of bed and pulled back the curtains. There was Taylor, just sitting there.

I asked him what he was doing. He just stared at me and gave no answer. I'm pretty sure he was sleepwalking, he does that a lot. Michael took him back up to bed. I couldn't go back to sleep for over an hour. It was just WEIRD.

For all those who are coming to stay with my kids next week while I am in New York- Beware!



I'm going to New York in 6 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy 9th Anniversary...

to me and Michael! Nine years ago today we were married on Friday the 13th in the Mesa, AZ temple for time and all eternity. Its been amazing! Love you babe! :)

1st Grade!

Here is Ashley on her 1st day of 1st grade! Okay, so its really her 5th day of 1st grade because I kept forgetting to take a picture! But she'll never know the difference right?:)

Finished!

I just finished "Breaking Dawn". And I loved it! I had hoped to make the book last a little longer since it is 754 pages. But, like the others, I couldn't put it down. Now I am bookless once again. My 2008 page count is now up to 14,109. I am pretty proud of that number since I have hardly any free time to read! Next year, Michael wants me to keep track of how much money I spend on books each year. But I think that will be my little secret. For me, books are a need, not a want. :)

I Demand Sick Days

I feel terrible.

I had a fever half the night. My throat hurts and I am congested.

My ears hurt too.

My body aches.

If I had a regular 9 to 5 job I would totally call in sick today.

Instead I am taking kids to school, making breakfast and cleaning up messes.

I think wives should be allotted at LEAST 3 sick days a year from their husbands jobs. Spread the word.

Dude...

Life has been busy- But I don't even know what we have been doing! Until I get my act together, here are some pics from our gnarly skate session. Yes, Ashley is wearing her Hannah Montana pajamas- it was almost bedtime. Stay tuned for pics of Ashley's first day of 1st grade! Taylor starts preschool tomorrow!
