About Me

Jared and I have been married two years now. In November we will have been together 9 years. Crazy to think. We definitely grew up together and I think that's what makes us work so well. We had a daughter in June and we're not sure why we didn't do so sooner. We love her with our life. She is the best thing that's ever happened to us. I love having my own family. We live in Fayetteville and LOVE IT. We are always back and forth on whether or not we'll move back to Alma. I see us back down there one day but I see our life always being in NWA. If only we could pack our families up and move them up here!

Halfway Birthday!

Happy 6 Months to our little princess. And she is that in every sense of the word. She is already so prissy just like we knew she would be. She cuts her eyes at us and sometimes she looks at us, smiles, and hides her face like she's embarrassed. It's the cutest thing.

Here are just a few more things she enjoys....

Pears, bananas, apples---any fruit! She's loving the solids and I'm so glad I made the motherly decision that it was time, regardless of what the doctor said.

Rolling all over the place. Her favorite thing is when I lay her in her bedroom floor and let her go wild. And when I put her in her "play yard" she very quickly finds her way out.

Bouncing!!!! She absolutely loves when anyone holds her up to bounce. She loves "farming" too. Her bouncy is farm themed so when we put her in it we say "you wanna farm wooby?". Haha!

Morning time in bed with mom and dad. We are guilty. When she wakes up and it's not a work day we put her in the bed with us and she absolutely loves it. She talks and laughs and plays. And sometimes when we're lucky she falls back to sleep.

Looking at herself in the mirror. Haha, cracks me up. Another reason she's our little princess.

Talking. Loves loves loves to scream and talk.

Kathy and Grammie! I think those two are her favorites other than me and daddy of course. Her eyes just light up every time Jared drops her off at Kathy's. She's been getting to spend almost one day out of every weekend lately with Grammie and her Papa Wayne. Loves them!

I think that's about it. She's not quite sitting up yet by herself. She can do it but refuses to. She can also hold her own bottle but doesn't really like to do that either. It's ok with me though. I will let her depend on me as long as she wants. I know I will miss it someday. Jared and I were watching The Kardashian's (I know everyone is rolling their eyes) "Kendall's Sweet 16". They had a slide show of baby pictures and videos. We were both tearing up. I know he's gonna kill me for repeating that. He'll probably deny it too. But we just realize that it's all going to flash before our eyes and Ruby will be turning 16. I'm not ready for that at all!

Ruby has become the heart of our little family. I never knew what we were missing. I thank God for her every single night. I should be on knees for this blessing. Thank you God!




This was after bath time the other night. That's another thing she loves! Bath time!




After bananas. We also tried two bites of green beans which she hated. She's just not into the vegetables.




This is a Christmas outfit I bought her a couple months ago. I put a "fancy outfit" on her for her 6 month birthday and it was way TOO SMALL!!!!! Her daddy refused to take her to school in it.




So this is what she wore on her birthday! Happy Birthday sweet girl!

On another note, now that my big secret is out! My sisters are ENGAGED!!!! I had to wait to post about it because Liz's boyfriend Roger hadn't popped the question yet. He told me about it two weeks early! I almost exploded! I am so happy for both of my sisters.

And last... I told you all about the trip Jared got us for our anniversary to Mexico right?! Well, sadly, I've decided not to go. I have thought and thought about it and I just can't do it yet. I know it's 5 months away but that's not long at all to know for sure 100% I am not at all ready to leave Ruby for 4 days with no contact. I depend on the picture texts from my mom or whoever has her and I wouldn't have that. I just can't do it just yet. I've made Jared promise in 2013 (when I reach my 30s) we will go. I think it will be better then for me. However, I'll gladly take a babysitter for a night and a day to just rest and clean my house :). Any takers? Ha! I was kidding myself thinking I was so excited about doing something like that. It makes me sad but I'm happy with my decision.

That's all. I'm sure I won't post again until after Christmas so I hope you all have a very happy one.

Love,

~Sarah~
