My Apologies

I want to apologize to all my friends who live in Chattanooga. I wish I would have had time to see each of you. We were actually there with my parents and just stayed for a short time. It would have been so hard to fit everything in. Plese accept my apologies and know that I love each of you!!! :)

Our Quick Trip to Chattanooga...

We took a quick trip to Chattanooga yesterday. We went to the TN aquarium. It was so much fun. Here are a few pictures from our time there. Well the first one is from last week, I just forgot to add it to the last post :)

My Grandma

Three years ago, my sweet grandma went to be with Jesus. It was September 19th in America and the 20th, my birthday in China. I can remember it like it was yesterday. Kasey and I were doing some traveling and I was calling home every morning and evening to check on my grandma. She was dying of cancer and I knew it would be any time that she would make her exit from this world. I woke up on the morning of my birthday at 6 am and called home and she had already gone to be with Jesus. What a bittersweet moment that was for me. I was sooo sad that I was 7,000 miles away and couldn't be there with my family. But I had a peace because she wasn't in pain anymore. That evening, we went and met some Chinese friends and God used them to encourage me so much. It was such a neat thing to see how He broke down those language barriers that day.
Well, 3 years later, I am married and now have a little one. She hasn't ever had the chance to meet my dear grandma. But yesterday, we got a package from my aunt. My grandma's youngest child, her only daughter. Inside was a bunny rabbit. It looked just like something my grandma would have bought for Sadie. She LOVED it so much and immediately started to put the ears in her mouth! The neat thing is that when I was growing up my grandma would buy us a bunny each year for Easter. So, even though it isn't Easter, Sadie got her first bunny from grandma today...thanks Angie for such a sweet present....

The BIG 3-0

I can't believe that today I am 30. Wow...such a strange feeling to be out of my 20's. I know it's just a number, but I don't feel old enough to be 30. Anyway...it's been a great day! I spent the morning with my dad and stepmom and then we came to my mom and stepdad's house. We went to Huntsville and ate at P.F. Changs...yummy!! And then came home to eat my birthday cake and Clark and I are watching the Auburn game. He isn't too happy right now...so I decided to blog... :) Here are a few pictures from our day!!! :)

New Photos!!

For your viewing enjoyment...our little Sadiebug!

On our way to Scottsboro, we stopped by Marie's house and she made me a birthday cake!! It was so YUMMY!! Here are few pictures from our visit with her...thanks so much friend!! :)

Clark LOVED the cake!! :)

Dad and Tina bought Sadie this outfit when she was born because I had a poor bear outfit when I was born! :)

Rachel, our niece, with Sadie!!

Sadie's first time to sit in a walker at Nana and Pops house (my dad and stepmom)

My Big Girl!!

Today Clark and I took Sadie to the doctor. We thought she might be teething and wanted to make sure that is all it was. Thank goodness, that looks like it might be it. But while we were there, they weighed her. She is now up to 14 pounds and 10 ounces!! I couldn't believe it! I thought oh maybe 13 1/2, but oh no!! What can I say, my girl loves to eat!! :) I knew she was feeling a bit heavier! Anyway...just thought I would share with you all how she is growing so quickly!!

2 years ago today...

Clark and I said our marriage vows to each other......and we became a family of two


Now, 2 years later we are a family of THREE and blessed beyond belief!!!




Happy Anniversary Sweetie!!! It's been a great two years and I can't wait to see what God has in store for us as we continue on this journey together as a family!!!

After the bath...

Sadie absolutely loves her bath time! Clark gives her a bath each evening and then I do the "massage" and get ready for bed. Clark calls her our little spa girl, I mean what a life, getting a massage every evening? Anyway, a few nights ago, we decided to take pictures of our nightly routine and I wanted to share it with you all. So, go ahead, sit down and join us for an evening with our spa girl.


I am not so sure if I like being wrapped up in this towel
Look Mom! I can hold the brush all by myself! It won't be long until I am brushing my own hair!

Oh how I love this part!! It always makes me so relaxed!!!

Thanks Dad for your help! Got make sure we get under those rolls!! :)

Time for the P.J's. My massage time is almost over, good thing I will get another one tomorrow night!!!

Wow that was great!! Now, I am ready to eat!! :)

Good Night Sweet Dreams!!!
