Family Weekend

We had a fun filled weekend that included things like: go kart riding, bags, loaded questions, flip cup, bonfires, burgers, sensitive Sally, terrible traffic, keg stands, chicken, picnics, humidity, tornado warnings, church, laughter, jokes, competition, and family bonding.

We're home and getting back on schedule. However, we're missing daddy. He's gone again for work until Thursday night. He's missing his girls, but we're doing our best to send him pictures and videos during the day.

Sally had her 15-month check up yesterday. She's doing very well, 50% for both height and weight (30 3/4 inches, 23lbs). Her head still continues to be the biggest, 80%. She was her usual "sensitive Sally." Very concerned with what the Doctor was doing and where she was going. I think she has a really good memory and recognizes the place and what comes with it.

Here are a few pictures from the weekend, more to come, but the little lady is waking up for the day.

"What?! Grandma is going to go shower? We'll see about that!"

Heading to the swings at the park

"Phew! Okay good. Mom, you're still there, just making sure you're not leaving me..."

Walkin' on Sunshine

A Year

Tomorrow is the one year anniversary of my first post. My oh my, time goes fast! Tomorrow is also my sister and Brian's 6 year wedding Anniversary-Happy Anniversary guys!

Sunday, Sally turns 15 months. I've decided on her "month" birthdays, to post pictures comparing now and a year ago. Crazy how much growth and development happens in one short year. She has her 15 month check-up on Monday, so I'll be sure to post her stats later next week!

We're off to Alexandria this weekend for the Crist Family Reunion. Enjoy your weekend!

Cooler Than You

Play the music video while reading, you don't need to watch the movie, just listen to the lyrics :)


At the wedding this weekend I heard this song during the grand march into the dance. I loved it! Apparently I was one of the only ones who had never heard it. Sorry, I'm not in the car that often any more! Part of the lyric says "you've got your designer shades to hide your face..." so the bridal party all had these big glass on! Sally is in love with the glasses, but of course, for this picture she didn't want to wear them, so we borrowed from Misses Potato Head!
This is what happens to Misses Potato Head when Uncle Joe Joe comes over...

Take a guess!

With the sticky weather, we decided to stroll up to our neighborhood "snack shack" and get some ice cream cones. A Dairy Queen gift card for the first person who guesses what kind of ice cream cone Sally got!

Something about Sally

This is how Sally's hair looks after she's had it up for the day. It always reminds me of this...

Thank you to our wonderful neighbors for our beautiful bouquet of flowers. We get a nice treat throughout the summer of looking at all of these growing in the yard! Thank you!

Needing some Zzzz's

We're not college kids anymore, that's for sure! We had a great time at the wedding, and well into the night :) Throughout the night we felt like college kids again as we were celebrating with a lot of Bennies and Johnnies. However, we can't quite survive on 5 hours (if that) of sleep anymore. How did we do that in college? Go out three nights in a row and still get homework done?

Congratulations Bryan and Liz! Thank you for throwing such a great party! Enjoy your time in Hawaii!

A huge thank you to Grandma and George for having a sleep over with Sally! She did great, and so did her mommy and daddy! It was so great being able to thoroughly enjoy ourselves and not have to worry about how Sally was doing with the babysitter, and that we needed to get home so the babysitter could go home. Thanks mom and George! We'll will be doing it again in a few weeks for another wedding and Sally will be slumbering with Nana and Grandpa. Until then, we're going to get some rest!

I don't think I've put it on the blog yet, but our good friends, Kyle and Laura are engaged, yay! We'll be celebrating their wedding next summer!
