So is this going to work?

I am doing a test message right now from my email...considering I don't always have access to a computer, I want to know that I can update this blog through email on my phone...so here's my first attempt!  Let's cross our fingers!   Sarah

Mmmmm, Ice Cream!

Nothing better than a cold ice cream cone on a hot day! Lily and Elly went down to the C store with their dads and got a tasty treat to enjoy! Here are some sweet pics of them hanging outside enjoying their day!

Mmm, this is so tasty!

"Don't you think so Elly??"

"Oh wow, this is getting a little messy..."

But I'm just going to go for it anyway!"

IDC Class 08015 Graduation

On Friday, April 10, 2009, Mac graduated Independent Duty Corpsman School (IDC) and we are so very proud of him! After 53 weeks of intense school, couple with clinicals, he can officially call himself a Navy IDC with pride! Lily and I adore you, Mac, and we are so proud to call you "Our man"! Here are some pictures of our morning!

A Night Out With Some Friends!

About a month ago, we went out for a night with some wonderful friends to Dave & Busters...it's like Chuck-E-Cheese for adults! Besides the fact that my thumb suffered a serious blister from playing too much of a ridiculous and mildly addicting machine gun video game, we have a blast...good company = a good time! Here's a couple "end of night" pics for you to enjoy!

Jeremy and I...typical Jeremy!

Mac and Tim...

Mmm, Mmm....Ravioli!

You all pretend like you don't want to enjoy your ravioli like this! Besides the fact that Lily looked like an Oompa-Loompa when she was done, she sure had a good time getting there! I never knew self-feeding was going to be so "creative"....enjoy!

Add a chocolate cookie and "POOF!"...more of a mess!

"This is great Mom and Dad! You should try it some time!"

A Day at the San Diego Wild Animal Park!

A couple weeks ago, we went to the San Diego Wild Animal Park with our friends, the Nudelmans, and had a great time! Even though I have had a membership all year to the Zoological Parks, this is the first time we had been to this park! It was so beautiful...I wish you all could have a chance to see it! The animals aside, the landscape is just breathtaking:) Here are some family pics of our time there...

Lily is Getting So Big!!!

Lily has been getting so big! Every day I look at her and realize that she's getting further and further away from that little baby I had just 19 months ago...however, she is becoming such a lovely little girl and I enjoy getting to know her more and more everyday:) Here are some pictures of her over the last few weeks...just smiling and being "Lily"!

Helping Daddy open his birthday present...she's so helpful!

On our way to Miss Kristin's bridal shower!

Such a big girl!

Playing around:) She loves hats!

And Daddy's boots...haha!

Sweet little smile:)

Love those bright little eyes!

"What Mom?"

Waiting for Daddy to get home from work...so sweet:)

"Don't worry mom, I got my backpack!"

"Cheese!"

"Don't you worry Mom, I got my purse, sunglasses, and bracelet..I am ready to go!"

Look, it's Bono's daughter!

Aww, my sweet little baby:)
