Megan and Brian's Wedding

As promised, here is a picture of the cake I made for Megan's wedding. Remember, this was my first wedding cake ever, so be kind.


Here's a picture of the happy couple.


Megan had four maids, Haley, Jacee, Shanae, and me.


This next picture is of Megan's side of the family, well those that went to the temple.

And last, but not least, here's a picture of my small family.


The wedding was beautiful!

Say cheese!

Last week Sadie had her first photo shoot experience! I just had to share a few of my favorite pictures.

And breath...

The semester is finally over! I hardly know what to do with myself now. I was running in overdrive all day, everyday. As of May, everything just stopped. What a weird feeling. It is wonderful to just spend time with Sadie and get chores around the house taken care of.

Graduation went very well. Here are a few pictures.






My mommy.


So Make Way for Ducklings!




The stole of gratitude went to Alex, who sacrificed lots of time and energy in helping me make it through my last semester.



From left to right, Brian (Megan's then fiance and now husband), Megan (my sister), me, my daddy, Derrick (my brother), and little Mercedes.




Since graduation, my sister Megan and Alex's sister Emily have both gotten married. I actually made Megan's wedding cake! I will post pictures of the weddings soon (I promise I will actually do it).

School is almost over!!!

Time has flown by. Sadie is 3 months old and I graduate in one month! I can not wait to be done, even though I am loving my little kindergartners. I am beginning to realize that my major (Early Childhood Education) is an excuse to feed my addiction for trade books. There are just so many great books for children out there! Some of my favorites are "Skippyjon Jones," "Make Way for Ducklings," and books like "Mary had a Little Ham." If you are wanting recommendations for fun books you and your child (or just you) will enjoy, let me know! I've been trying to convince Sadie that books are great, but she just wants to poop and spit-up. Although, she has started to laugh! I'm not talking about just a little giggle, she really laughs. I will have Alex upload a video of her laughing. In the mean time, here are a few photos of our little girl.

These are from her blessing that took place towards the end of January.


These pictures were taken towards the beginning of February.


During March, all we did was record video of Sadie. I will post a video or two soon and remember to take pictures too!

TAGGED

4th picture in your 4th file, then tag 4 people.
This is my 4th picture. I was living in Massachusetts as a nanny and the couple in the photo with me are the Andersons. They hosted family home evening each Monday night. This particular picture was taken on Halloween when we had our party. The Andersons are wonderful people and I miss seeing them every week. On a side note, I meet Alex at their house one Monday night and the rest is history.


I tag: Amanda, Jennifer, Amy, and Kathy
