Motherhood, Sewing, Family

My little comedian

~ Etc.

I posted this on my Instagram yesterday, but I love it so much I need to blog about it and tell the story in more detail.  My 6 year old daughter Adi texts daddy everyday using the IPad when he’s at work.  It’s usually when I am putting Aiden down for a nap, when she asks her dad if she can have a snack.  Yesterday the day started as normal, her first text to him was “Can we have capre sun(capri sun)?”  But then things quickly changed and she decided to play a trick on daddy.

Her text says, “Jay i mise you do you wont to cotl wen you are home From sarhe.”  Translating, “Jay, I miss you do you want to cuddle when you are home, from Sarah.”

When I came out of the room after putting Aiden to sleep, Adi said to me, “Mom, I saw that you texted dad!” and showed this to me.  I cracked up so hard and couldn’t stop laughing!  I told her, “Adi, you are so funny!”  and she said, “Huh? No, you texted this to dad.  I didn’t, you did!” and won’t even admit that she did it and is still adamant that it was me.  This funny girl.  She is so much like her dad!

To make things even better, I uploaded this screenshot on IG and FB and my husband commented, “Oh that was adi? I thought it was you trying to pretend you’re Adi, oh man I’m dying now!!!  

This girl is good.  We better watch out with this one!

What is a Wookiee?

~ Etc.

My daughter who is in Kindergarten goes to the library every week as a classroom and brings home a book to read.   She recently brought home a book titled, “What is a Wookiee?”  It’s been one of my most proud moments as a mother.  We told her how this book is based on the movie Star Wars, and we showed her the movie and she’s been hooked ever since.  She’s watched the first three and wants to keep going!  The first time she watched the movie she whispered to me excitedly, “Mommy, mommy!  Is this movie in real life?”  

My Ohana

This is where we had the photoshoot of me and my girlfriends on Mother’s day. It’s the campus of Brigham Young University where Jay and I went to school. My friend quickly snapped the last two shots of my family before resuming our girls’ photoshoot.

And I have to share this video with you guys. Jay showed it to me which he used for his presentation for work the other day. It is my FAVORITE commercial EVER, it’s hilarious!
Have a HAPPY HAPPY WEEKEND!

pop it like it’s HOT!

~ Etc.

As my two girls and I were driving back home from a puppet show this morning, Adalie said to me, “Mommy, you’re a sweetheart. And you’re my friend. I love you.” Oh how I love being a mother! I gotta say I teared up a little bit and told her she was also a sweetheart and my best friend and that I loved her. And I thought about my life and how happy and blessed I am. Being a mother was something I’ve always wanted to be and have dreamt about since I was a little girl and I’m living it right this moment! I’m living my biggest dream!

And I have everything I want, a wonderful, amazing, sweet, funny husband(my stomach still hurts from laughing so hard from hanging out with him last night), two beautiful, healthy, sweet, smart girls, wonderful family from both sides of the family, and what more could you ask for? Families are the most wonderful, beautiful thing on this earth.

And this is one of my favorite videos of Adalie. It was taken last night after dinner. Hope this makes your weekend! 🙂

My size 25 pants

~ Etc.

So I ordered online these khaki skinny pants thinking it was a size 25″ waist pants. But little did I know I had ordered a size 25. I was too busy looking at my other stuff I got along with these pants until Jay points out to the pants (while it was still folded and unopened) and says to me, “Hun, those look a little big…” I looked at the pants and opened it up and we just busted out laughing. I couldn’t stop laughing for a few days after that, just passing by the pants or even thinking about it made me bust out laughing. I guess this was my airhead moment. Crap!




Can these pajamas get anymore F.O.B? I don’t think so. Even Adalie seems to know it.
