Sarah
Blessing
Aug 21st
Sarah was given a baby blessing on Sunday August first in the 85th Ward LDS Chapel. We was blessed by her dad. The circle included Jared (dad), uncle Mark, David, Justin B, Reuben, and Justin R, Grandpa Whittle, Wixom, Bleazard, Robins, and Bascom, and Bishop Hershey. It was a good blessing. Sarah wore the same blessing dress that my sister and I were blessed in. My mom made it for us.
After church we had a potluck BBQ. We had a lot of people there. Everyone in my family was there, as well as every one in Jared’s family (except Jordan who is on a mission) plus we had cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents. There were a lot of people. I think it went really well. The biggest downside was that it was really, really hot. Jared cooked all the meat too. I don’t know how he handled everything. He did an amazing job. Thanks to all the family and friends that came and to everyone that helped.
By the way: I saw a lot of people taking pictures, but in the chaos I didn’t really take any. So, if you took pictures please give them to me. Thanks!
2 month check up
Aug 18th
Sarah had a doctors appointment. It was a last minute thing because her pupils were different sizes for the last couple days so we decided to call the doctor’s office and see what they said. We didn’t do it sooner because there was nothing else wrong with her, but since they weren’t changing back we called the doctor’s office. The nurse said we should get it checked out so we made an appointment for that same day As luck would have it when I got to the doctor’s office her pupils were the same size. They were different sizes that same morning. Well, while we were there Sarah got her check up and her immunizations.
At 2 months 17 days Sarah…
Weighs 11.93 pounds (57.92 %tile)
Is 24 inches long (86.28 %tile)
Head circumference 15.75 inches (64.9%tile)
So, Sarah did get sick after her immunizations. Did you know that infant Tylenol has been recalled. I looked at 2 stores with no luck. They didn’t even have an off brand. Well, Starrie suggested Smiths and they did have a good off brand that we could use. What really sucked was that I was trying to get her medicine before work but I didn’t count in no one having any. Oh and I have to Thank Starrie who babysitted for me while i was at work even though there was a good chance that Sarah would get sick.
Anyway Sarah is a very cute sick baby. She did cry a little bit but it wasn’t too bad. Mostly she laid around and looked pathetic but a cute “I’m sick, feel bad for me” type of pathetic. She also had a cough and stuffy nose. She was less active. She still did baby talk but it had the “I’m sick” tone to it. Is it sad that I think she was cute when she was sick.I have high hopes that she will be a cute sick kid how likes to cuddle with mom and dad, not a annoying, complaining sick kid. Well, Sarah is feeling a little bit better now, she is a lot more active and seems happier. Well, that’s it.

Family Fun!
Aug 11th
Sarah was blessed on August 1st, 2010 on her two month birthday! My whole family came out for it, so I have a lot to post about. Since there is so much to post I think I’ll do it in individual posts. We did a lot of fun stuff.
July 29 and 30
On Thursday and Friday I got to hang out with Mark and Emily at Justin and Beth’s. I got to see both sets of twins! Mark and Emily had their 5 1/2 month olds named Elizabeth and Mark. Justin and Beth had their 3 day old twins Lindsey and Luke. They were so cute. It was also the first time Mark, Emily, and Beth got to see Sarah.
Sarah got some play time with Mark and Elizabeth.

I also got to hold Lindsey. She is so cute and small. She was as long as Sarah was 19.5-20 inches but weighed a pound less. She made my little Sarah look so big. Sorry I didn’t get a picture with Luke, sad day

Friday July 30
We also got to hang out at Jared’s Mom’s house and see Jared’s sister, Nicia and her two kids Alyssa and Logan. It was the first time that Nicia got to see Sarah too. Sorry no pictures though
Saturday July 31
On Saturday we went to the Thanksgiving Point Farm with my sister Katie’s family and my brother David’s family. It was really hot but I think we had fun. It was the first time that Katie and her family had seen Sarah. I think the other kids had a lot of fun on the farm, but Sarah slept through most of it. Oh well.

Sunday August 1
This is the day of Sarah’s blessing. I feel that this deserves it’s own post, so look for this soon. But her is one picture as a sneak preview
Monday August 2
This was my first day back to work. I brought Sarah the first day back to show her off. She was alright, but it was still stressful to have her at work with me. Luckly, my sister-in-law volunteered to help babysit her while I’ll at work (THANKS STARRIE). Everyone at work said that she is way cute and looks like me. One person said that she had “intelligent eyes” and another said that she looks like a Sarah. Well, it was interesting, bringing her to work, but I’ll glad that I don’t have to bring her to work everyday. It was fun going back to work, I’m looking forward to starting back
Tuesday August 3
On this day we went back to Thanksgiving Point. It was $2 Tuesday. Where all the main attractions are only $2. We decided to go to the Dinosaur Museum. Let me tell you if you hate crowds never go to the Dinosaur Museum on a $2 Tuesday. It was packed. The line was out the door, inside was even worse. We had a huge group too. There was my Mom and Dad, Katie, Corban, Ariana, Joyce, Trevor, Elaine, Cory, Hailey, Brooke, Ryan, Aunt Kathy and her grandson, Bjorn, my cousin Jill, and her two kids. Oh and me and Sarah. I hope I got everyone. I think we had fun even if it was packed.

After our lunch we decided to check out some of the gardens. After all it was $2 Tuesday. We only went to the water falls and then back, but it was fun. It wasn’t crowded like the Dinosaur Museum and was nice. So if you do the the Two Dollar Tuesdays at Thanksgiving Point (It runs through August) go to the gardens but not the museum. It was hot, but at least there were trees throughout the gardens. I liked looking through them. I’ll have to go back, it was my first time going.
Wednesday August 4
We went to the zoo. It was Sarah’s first time at the zoo. She did well, but I’m afraid that she didn’t appreciate it that much. We had a huge group there too. Our group consisted of: Becky, Sarah, Justin, Nathan, Hailey, Brooke, Katie, Corban, Ariana, Joyce, Trevor, Elaine, Cory, my mom, my dad, Laurie, and Caleb. I hope I got everyone. I got there a little late and missed the bird show. But we got to see a lot of animals. The Tigers were especially interesting because they were roaming. Then I always love the giraffes. I would have to say those were my two favorites. We had a lot fun although it felt a little bit short, since kids get tired. It was my last day with my family in town so going to the zoo ended it with a bang.

Another Picture to Love
Jul 25th
Not only is she showing how good she is at holding her head up and proving she’ll be crawling early, but she’s just SO STINKING CUTE doing it!
Storytime with Daddy
Jul 18th
This is the new story time of the future. Jared is reading “Green Eggs and Ham” by Dr. Seuss to Sarah. He is reading it on his iPad. It is complete with sound effects and will even read to you. You can also point to things on the picture and it will tell you what they are like “tree”, “grass”, or “cave”. But the very best part of the experience was watching my husband read to his daughter.
