I thought I would NEVER do this...

I am sure you are thinking...'What would you NEVER do??'....

I never thought that I would be sitting here, watching "Elmo's World" with Makena. Elmo is Makena's favorite, right next to Curious George. Elmo gives me that extra 15 minutes in the morning to take a shower or catch up on this and that. One day we were shopping in Nordstroms (ok not shopping, that stuff is so expensive) and I saw an Elmo doll and showed her. She got so excited that she almost JUMPED right out of her stroller! But now that I am a mother, I am able to let go of a lot of stuff...I guess Elmo isn't too bad.

And for those mothers who watch it....doesn't Elmo's song at the end of his show sound an awful like "Jingle Bells"? Maybe this is just a thing a mom notices....

More later! I will post pictures of the beautiful days (yes, days!) we have been having. Yesterday after Adam came home from work, Adam took the jogger with Makena and went running while I went riding on my bike. It was soooo much fun! (thank you G'ma for the jogger!!!)

A few cute pictures that my brother took....

....

Yeah, I think the skirt is a little small.
Baby Legs!
This has got to make you laugh!

We had a very busy weekend and are still recovering (ok, maybe I am more than the others!).

I wanted to say "Congrats!!" to Adam for a VERY large sale of Crab today at work! We are sooo proud of him!

Easter Part One...

I have to admit, I have the cutest girl ever (sorry friends and family with girls!). I promise to post pictures after Sunday, but Kena wore her Easter dress today and she was beautiful. We did try it on her the other night and I almost cried. Her dress was perfect for her, her little shoes, everything!

Today we had my family over for Easter and we went to our Church's Easter egghunt. Kena of course didn't get any eggs, we just went there to show her off! Then we came home, the Easter Bunny had visited and Kena got to look in her easter basket! Boy did that bunny spoil her! Probably the most exciting thing for her was her new Curious George DVD from G'pa! G'ma gave Kena little peeps stuff animals (thank you!!! Gotta pass on the tradition!). We had a great day which ended with Kena being up for over 4 hours and taking, so far a 2 1/2 hour nap!

I know once she wakes up we will have to watch the George dvd (I guess I can turn off basketball)!

Until tomorrow...
Happy Easter!!! He has Risen!!

OOOOH So Sweet!

So How cute is our little Makena! I will post more pictures later today, but Makena is being a little sassy (not much of a surprise!) but I wanted to give you all a little taste of what she has been doing lately!

I have a Makena permently attached to my lap...

I am not sure WHAT is going on with this little girl, but its seems the best place for her is in my lap. As I write this Kena is sitting in my lap (passing toots mind you), rubbing her head against the fireplace guard and spitting. She keeps on taking her binky out of her mouth, then putting it back. Tugging at my sweatshirt and grunting. Kena's new thing for the past couple of days is grunting, I mean like a man after a couple of beers grunting. Ok I just did what I tell people I don't do... I just popped in a video for her to watch, to let my lap have a rest. And NOW she is not crying! I feel horrible about it, but really I am sure she will understand.

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE let finding comfort in me, but then I really can't get anything done. I know, I need to enjoy these times. "So Sara relax! Enjoy!" I am sure you are all thinking. Ok, you are right!

We had a very busy weekend, which led into a busy work week. I will have pictures of Kena's first "race" tomorrow. Adam ran with the jogger in the St.Patty's day run on Sunday and of course like every year we had a blast! I love spending that time with my family and cheering racers on. If you haven't been to a sporting event with my family, watch out! G'pa Cutforth gave her an aligator, Ali, that haven't been away from her since.

I will post pictures tomorrow, I think I will finish my laundry, put Kena to bed and watch "dancing with the stars".
