Toilet Paper

The title says it all - Sage got into the Toilet Paper.  I was upstairs getting stuff packed for our trip to my parents and Reese & Sage were downstairs.  Reese was just a few seconds late on checking on Sage.  She had so much fun running around with the toilet paper - so of course the first thing I did was grab my camera.  I figured we could wait a few minutes to clean up so I could get some fun pics!   Here are the fun pics!

Visitors

Shelley, Tyler and the boys have been visiting the last few days.  They got here Thursday evening and left this morning.   It was great to see them and the kids had lots of fun playing together.  We are excited because we get to see them next weekend too!  Two weeks in a row!!  The kids were all watching a show together this morning - they were pretty into the trains on Chugginton.  Had to snap a few pics!   Thanks for visiting - we are excited to spend a week up north with you!

Happy Birthday Reese!

Today is Reese's 40th Birthday!   I hope you have a wonderful day!  We can't wait for you to get home tonight.  For Reese's birthday I decided to do 40 gifts for 40!  I had tons of fun shopping for his favorites and picking out some new things for him.  I know he enjoyed the gifts as well!  Some of the gifts were small, such as his favorite candy bar, others were big - a firepit for the backyard.  It made each morning of June very fun as he started getting presents on June 1st up until today.  We had a party for Reese over the weekend and had a great time.  I didn't take to many pictures and didn't even get any pictures of Russ, who came into town for the party.   Here are a few pictures from the party. 

Melissa and I hanging out at the party.

Reese blowing out his candles, which were the best part of the cake.  The cake was supposed to be white frosting with black writing - oh well - it still tasted good!

 Alec and Terry - had to take a picture of their height difference!

Kind of a cute picture of the two of us!

Busy Girl

Sage has been a very busy girl and we are always on the go, lots of toys to play with!  She has had a little bit of an attitude the last few days.  I am not sure if that is related to her eye teeth coming in or if we are just entering the Terrible Two's early!  We are really ready for her eye teeth to come in and I am sure she is too.  She has been gnawing on anything she can get her hands on.

Father's Day

We had a long weekend and I didn't have a chance to blog yesterday.  Here are a few belated Father's Day wishes! 
Reese - I love watching you each day with Sage - you are an amazing father.
Dad - I hope you had a great day - thanks for always being there.

Dad H. - I couldn't ask for a better Father-in-law!   

Here is Sage going to work like Daddy.  She has her calculator and earpiece - ready to go!

Road ID

I was organizing my pictures on the computer this week and came across this photo.  I love it!   Sage is always so intrigued by Reese's dog tag.  It is from Road ID -  http://www.roadid.com  - it has information on it about Reese and his surgery.  When Reese changes Sage's diaper she gets excited because Reese takes off the dog tag and lets her wear it -she loves it!  

The Couch!

A few weeks ago Sage mastered climbing on the couch by herself.  She loves to climb up and then run along the couch - Mommy doesn't like the running part.  But we are slowly working on sitting on the couch and not running.  It is raining here today and we are stuck inside.  Sage was having fun this morning, climbing on the couch, getting down and climbing back up, we played with stickers, read books, played with her Little People Bus, and had a mini dance session!   Let's hope Sage has more rhythm and dancing skills than me!  Hopefully the rain stops this afternoon and we can get out of the house!

 Almost there!

So proud of herself!   She looks so big to me in this picture.

Best Garage Sale Deal!

Sage and I were enjoying our Friday morning when I got an e-mail from Bev about a BIG garage sale in her Mom's neighborhood.  Her Mom even took a few pictures and sent them to Bev who forwarded them on.  I saw a few toys in the picture I had been wanting to get Sage but didn't want to pay full price.  Sage was napping so I had to wait until she got up to go to the sale.  And one of the toys was still there I got it for $12 - it retails for $85!!!   I am soooo excited about the new toy and as you can see below Sage loves it!   I couldn't get it cleaned fast enough for her and she played with it for 30 minutes!   30 minutes on one toy is amazing for Sage!!!  I think we both are going to like her new toy:) 

Busy, Busy, Busy

BUSY - that is the one word that best describes Sage right now.  She is constantly moving and always into something new!   It has been so hot here and we have been staying inside during the hot afternoon hours.    We play in the basement and she rides her horse, then I chase her around the main floor and then we read books in her room.  Non-stop fun!  These pictures are from our busy yesterday morning. 

Pushing her babydoll around - currently one of her favorite activities.  She is also very intrigued by the strap on the stroller and how it closes. 

Playing Peek-a-boo!
