dance class

sara started a new dance class. 

ballet and tap. my little girl owns tap shoes. what is happening?! 

she is growing up so fast.

 sara is taking with sweet felice and it has to be the cutest thing ever to watch two little leotard, pink tight wearing girls run up to each other and hug with such excitement. the cutest ever!

aunt sissy was able to share in the first day fun.

sara loves dance day!

winner, winner...

ok ladies (and my husband) i know you have been waiting all day to find out who won the hair clip, right?! 

we had a vomit filled night and morning. complete with fever and moaning.

sweet sara came down with something yuck as we were putting her down for bed. 

but she is doing MUCH better now. so much so, that she wore her princess slippers to bed. crazy girl.

so that's why i didn't post earlier. i'm sure you were worried, huh?! :)

moving on. 

the winner.

sweet linnae, you are the lucky winner! yay!

we knew she wasn't feeling well when she laid still enough to fall asleep on the couch. 

sweet girl.

birthday celebration

ready for some pictures? 

here is a picture story of how we celebrated sara's birthday. 

we rode the dart train to the zoo. 

we had a simple picnic (as we bathed in our sweat) and enjoyed our family and friends. 

my sweet mom made the long trek to dallas to spend time with sara this weekend.

happy birthday my sweet three year old! i'm so proud of you.

happy birthday sara girl.

sweet sara,
i can't believe three years have passed since you made me a mommy. it has been such a joy to watch you grow up. i've been thinking about you lately and how much you have accomplished this past year. i am so proud of you. you endured some of the biggest changes in your short little life and you have faced them well.

you became a big sister (to a boy who just keeps growing and requiring more of your attention, love and patience), 

you learned to sleep in a big girl bed (and now its hard to think of you in a crib), 

you learned how to control your body fluids and use a potty (it took some time and tears but you did a GREAT job, sweet girl), 

you watched your first world cup and cheered for the USA so well (although you often jumbled the letters and cheered for SUA or AUS), 

you had your first experience with dance class (you can't hit a ball to save your life but you sure can dance!),

and you continue being such a blessing to your mommy and daddy. 

we are so proud of you and are so excited to walk out many many more years beside you. 

i love you!

love, 

your mommy

happy 3rd birthday sweet girl of mine!!

sara moments

here are a few moments from the past weeks i don't want to forget...

 sara started her first dance class... really it's called "creative movement" and they run around with scarves in their hands and pretend to be flowers and butterflies. today she told me they were trees. i asked her to show me what they did, she pointed her toe and tapped it on the floor. i totally remember being trees in my dance class as a little girl. weird.

 

we went on a date. our neighbor's dance recital. it was too cute. and sara LOVED it.

not the best picture. but, sara and wilson have had the sweetest moments playing together.

watching tv.

playing in the rain.

finding a little cave in the bathroom.

painting our nails for a wedding.
