Black Jack

Before I share with you the exciting happenings of last weekend I would like to take this time to do some parent bragging. Friday when I picked up Matty from day care his teach asked me if she could keep him and said that if all the other babies were as good as him her job would be easy *pats self on back* 

Matthew's 3 month Pics
So anyways we went to Las Vegas. I was so excited about this trip because I had never been before and couldn't wait to see all the lights and excitement. We saw the pirates show, the espn center, the secret garden which had a 14 day old baby dolphin that was so so so cute, the old strip and the light show there, my mother and law and I got our pictures taken with the chip N dales hehe. We stayed at Circus Circus and did alot of walking. Although the second day there we did get an eletric little car and rode around in that which was an experiencse in its self. All in all this was a great trip kacie and I got to spend alot of time alone thanks to Kurt and I can't wait to go back for my 21st Birthday YAY

THE FAIR

This last weekend we went to the State fair with our friends Sanja, Sonny, and Sam. We walked around looking at all the animals .. I tried to convince Kacie to let me buy a bunny he wouldn't he said I already had a matty... We discovered that they show pigeons yeah I was surprised too.. Sam got to ride the ponies..We got our pictures taken in the Trident both. A clown had the never to call me and I quote "A young mother who needed to be educated" just because I asked for a balloon for Matty .. Its not like I was going to let him play with it unsupervised we don't let he stay in a room by him self unless its bed time.. Needless to say after many attempts of trying to walk away from her and telling her I'm not stupid she let me have the balloon on his behalf[some people are very brave] Needless to say she wasn't a very funny clown and the hole reason for taking matty over there was because he had been watching her and laughing... All in all it was pretty fun outing and kacie told me a really fun joke even though at the time I didn't realize it was a joke and was taking him seriously

Kacie-Hey Sarah what do you call a mother cow that just had a baby

Sarah- A mom?
Kacie-No decaffeinated
Sarah-Oh really i didn't know that so am I debabyinated
Kacie-No honey it was a joke get it "DECAFFEINATED"

Sleeping Beauty

When Matthew was first born he woke up twice a night. When he was about 3 weeks old we put him on a bed time schedule he woke up once a night. About a week into being three months old I had to stop breast feeding because I wasn't making enough milk so Kacie and I started switching off nights to get up sense he could feed Matty now too. Last night was my "NIGHT" 2:30 I wake up Matty is sleeping I think he will probably get up in a couple of minutes I fall back asleep 7:00 am I wake up Matty is asleep.. THATS RIGHT HE SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Kacie-(Looking at matty who is now laying in our bed) you better do that on my night oh wait sense he didn't wake up its still your night till he does

Here is our little angel on his first sleeping through the night

Give me a sign

I have grown up heavily involved in my own faith. I went to a private catholic school for the majority of my elementary schooling and walked myself and my brother to church every Sunday with out a parent from the time I was allowed to cross the street by myself. There have only been two events that have ever interrupted my faith. The first was the death of my best friend. She was in my brother grade but the only girl my age that went to church. I remember when she entered the 6th grade she was allowed to attend youth group. During our annual spaghetti dinner she got an incline pump she was so excited it offered her so much freedom she was wearing a dress I helped her tape it to her stomach in the back seat of her dad's van. The following fall was our youth group retreat we begged her dad non stop for countless Sundays to allow her to go he finally broke down and agreed on one condition I had to keep an eye on her. I walked to her house so her dad could explain everything I needed to know..I remember they had just got new carpet I had to take off my shoes the carpet was really soft.. He explained that she had been having troubles with her pump so if she became bitchy or incoherent it was because she had either not gotten enough meds or had gotten to many he then told me that a juice box would fix the problem.We went to the retreat and had so much fun I even got her to go off the screamer with me which is a 60 canyon that you drop down into on a bungy swing. The following fall I went into highschool we went to another retreat but I was late I had a foot ball game to cheer at when I got there I ran up to Melissa she walked away from me in a daze something was wrong I sat down next to her gave her some juice and watched her slowly come back to reality no one else had noticed something was wrong. over the next year and half Melissa became very depressed girls at school wear mean to her but she would finally becoming to high school we could finally hang out all the time...Thats when her dad announced they would be moving to pueblo we were depressed she moved school started . I was sitting in Spanish class the teacher was also our Sunday school teacher she said to me hey Sarah can you come see me after class. Melissa had died in her sleep from and incline over dose .. the pump still wasn't working... My heart literally broke.. I couldn't believe that the god both of us had believed in would do such a thing I refused to go to church. I didn't return to church till then middle of my Senior year when her brother came and asked me to go with him to the Christmas service he told me that this is what she would want so I reconnected. It didn't last long as I was leaving for college they told us that my dad wouldn't make it and there wasn't anything they could do for him I went to church on rare occasions but made no real effort to go. Then my dad died this year the last time I spoke to him was my birhday he told me good bye and died two days later. I thought to my self why would god do this he hasn't got to see his grandson he hasn't got to see me get married he hasn't got to see me graduate its not fair. Sitting a red light just a block away from work I looked over to my left ST James Episcopal church, there are only 2 Episcopal Churches in the valley and I have been driving past this one for months and never noticed till that day I took it as a sign and I went this last Sunday. Me and Matthew sat in the back he made a friend a 11 month old girl who stole his binki and made him laugh for an our straight. I made a friends with this little girls mother and although I am still sad I am no longer mad and alot happier that I am back.
