We Have a New Website!

As much as I love to update our blog, I really don't like blogger. I have lots of problems uploading photos and many times my posts get deleted. So, I have created a new "blog". If you have a link to this blog, please change it to www.peaseblog.com

Highlights of our Summer

I have been really bad at posting on our blog this summer. I am home this week with strep, so I figured now would be a good time to do something useful instead of lying in my bed feeling miserable. We have had a relaxing summer. We have spent lots of time at the pool and the park. We went to Arizona to spend time with family and celebrate Connor's baptism. I am so glad Utah is not as hot as Arizona!

My nephew's baptism in Arizona!

The coolest outdoor restaurant-San Tan Flat.

Jeff and I at the Provo Parade on the 4th of July.

Sara loves the pool! She just loves to chill in her floaty.

Mohawk Baby. Sara's hair is getting so long!

Sporting her 4th of July gear.

Having a blast with the Rockband drums.

High School Musical 3 Meets Jeff

After a few months of never seeing my husband, Jeff finally finished working on High School Musical 3. He had such a blast working with the crew and the cast, but didn't get more than a few hours of sleep each night. Sara and I were able to visit the set a few times and meet the cast members. Sara was much more interested in all the food than any of the famous people. She practically dove out of my arms to get a hold of Zac Efron's snack bowl. She obviously isn't star struck yet. I am excited to see the movie when it hits theaters in October. I can't wait to see Jeff's name in the credits---his first big screen appearance!

Escaping the Heat

Sara enjoyed playing in the baby pool with her friend, Cassidy. Even though the water was straight from the hose and FREEZING, Sara had a blast. She made big splashes and thoroughly inspected every toy. Once she started drinking the water, I knew it was time to get out.

New Space to Play

While we were getting ready to move, Sara found many new places to play. She figured out the cabinets in the entertainment center were empty and would put some of her toys inside. When I realized she was small enough to fit inside too, I "encouraged" her to get in. I couldn't believe she was comfortable enough to even pose for some pictures. Once my phone rang, she was out of there!

Sara's First Birthday!

Sara definitely knew she was the star of the show at her princess birthday party. She paraded around in her pink tutu and showed off her walking skills. She even blew out her birthday candle (we practiced for two days). We were so happy to share this special day with so many friends and family. We truly appreciate everyone that helped make this day so wonderful for Sara.

I CAN WALK!

Sara decided that she wants to walk now. On April 29th I set Sara down on the floor and she walked about 20 steps to her toy box. She has been walking ever since. She has already learned to stand right back up without any help after she loses her balance. Although I have realized that we have much more child-proofing to do, it is so useful to have her walking. I can't believe my little baby is now a big girl who can walk all by herself!

Walking toward her mommy!

She got me!

Welcome Baby Raaska

We were so excited to visit the newest member of the Raaska family, little Michael. He is so adorable. Paul and Andrea definitely know how to make a cute kid!

A Day at the Beach

Easter weekend was such perfect beach weather! Sara and I spent a week in Newport for the holiday. After Saturday's Easter Egg Hunt, we headed to the beach with Sara's cousins. Sara did NOT like the sand at first.....once I convinced her the beach was a fun place, she couldn't get enough of the sand and ocean. She crawled around tossing shells and rocks that got in her path. She even tossed a few sand crabs. She didn't like how they tickled her fingers. After hours of happy playtime, she literally crashed in my arms and fell asleep. I can't wait to go back again!

Sara was able to catch some ZZZZZZ's after a long day in the sun!

St. Patrick's Day

Part of the fun of having a little girl is getting to dress her up for every holiday. Until she is old enough to make her own clothing decisions, I get to torture her with silly headbands and necklaces. Sara actually really wanted to wear this holiday decor. As soon as she saw them at the store, she bent her head down for me to put the headband on her head. I figured she needed more accessories, so I added the necklaces. I'm just glad she is willing (at least for now) to let me dress her up. The accessories seem to make her happy!

What a Girl!

Sara loves these pink boots from her Auntie Jennifer. She is very fascinated with the rhinestones.
When she crawls around, she looks back to make sure she still has the boots with her (they're a little big still.)

Bunny Ears

Sara loves these bunny ears! When I brought them home she instantly wanted them and loved having them on. She put on a little show for us while playing with her Leap Frog toy. A few days later she was pointing at the ears in my room. When I picked them up she bent her head down so I would put them on her again. The ears are meant for adults and are quite heavy on my head, but it didn't even phase Sara. She crawled all around the house as happy as could be with the ears on. Someone is definitely ready for the Easter Bunny!

Babies Grow So Fast!

I have tried to take pictures of Sara each month with the same bear to show how much she has grown. The first picture is Sara at two weeks old and the second one is at 9 months. It is so amazing to me that she used to be so tiny that some of her preemie size outfits were too big. Now she is a bundle of fun--dancing and laughing all the time. We are really enjoying how silly she has become.

Bubble Beard

These pictures just crack me up. Sara created her bubble beard on accident while playing in the bath, but it reminds me so much of what I loved to do when I was little. She loves the bath and is always the happiest baby when she hears the bath water turn on. Lately she has been trying to "talk" with the mama duck that covers the faucet. It's quite entertaining.

Newport Beach

We had such a great time visiting with the Hourigan family after Christmas. We took a stroll along the pier and it was just so beautiful. I forget how much I miss the ocean until I am able to visit it again. It was a windy day, but the sights were just gorgeous!

Sara's Visit with Santa

Sara was fine looking at Santa, but as soon as she was on his lap she was not happy. She stared at him for a second and then started to cry. I have never seen her cry so quickly. I hope she is more excited for Santa next year!

A New Friend for Sara

I thought it was so cute that Sara was looking outside waiting for her daddy to come home. She was banging on the glass and chatting up a storm.....

....but it wasn't her daddy she was talking to, she found a new friend! I didn't even realize she could see her reflection until I started taking pictures.

My Baby Girl

I just love this picture of Sara. She is such a sweet baby. Her little smile always makes my heart melt. I love being a mom!

Happy Halloween!

Sara celebrated her first Halloween as the sweetest little pumpkin. I think we enjoyed the Halloween party more than Sara because we got to eat the candy. Sara's friend, Cassidy, partied with us too.

Later we went to Black Island Farms where we watched pig races, rode slides, and even made our way through the giant corn maze. Sara loved riding down the slides with her daddy. After all the excitement from the holiday, Sara slept for a very long time!

Jeffrey and I are starting a blog of our own so that we might be able to share with friends and family the important events of our lives.

We hope you will enjoy our silliness!
