Blonde Moments, Emma & Ava, Life (Or Something Like It), Memories
The girls went to the park for the first time today. They LOVED it! They had soooo much fun swinging. 
I need to find the closest park to our house because this one was out by Ashton’s mom’s house. We stopped by to play a little after we had dinner with her tonight.
Last night was awful. We woke up at 4am to tornado sirens going off. The second time in what… 2 1/2 weeks?! Last spring/summer I don’t recall them ever going off. This was scary though. Last time we could see the funnel cloud forming but this time it was pitch black, the only time you could see anything was when lightening struck and it was bright and the thunder was LOUD. I’ve really never seen anything like it. Near us there was 87 MPH winds recorded!!!!!! Having a 3 story condo doesn’t exactly make me feel safe as far as tornados go. Especially with the girls on the third floor. I jumped out of bed so fast, pulled my jeans on and ran out the bedroom door and headed up the stairs. My Dad was up also and grabbed one of the girls for me. It was really scary. I do not like tornados. Preston and my brother opened the front door and it was soooo windy. I don’t think I’ve ever felt my heart pound so fast before. It’s not as bad when you can actually see what’s going on but when you are jolted awake at 4am and you can’t see a darn thing… I was freaked out. I hope this happening twice in less than 3 weeks is not an indication of how the spring and summer is going to be. I’m going to need a stronger does of anxiety medication if that’s the case! 
Today I feel like I got hit by a train. This is really embarrassing but I have to tell yall! Yesterday I was walking down the stairs holding Emma, we were on our way to WalMart to buy diapers and I was going down the stairs and stepped wrong on one of them and slipped! I fell flat on my ass and bumped down four stairs!!! LOL!!! I laughed but Emma didn’t think it was so funny. She was scared but she didn’t get hurt or anything. My sock was slippery on the carpet and I stepped too far forward on the step. It freaked Preston and my Dad out, they came running to see if we were okay. I’m just so glad I didn’t trip and fall forward. THAT would have been bad. My butt, back, and neck are really sore from it. 
I felt everything sort of compact when I hit the stair, so I might go see a chiropractor if I don’t feel better soon.
Anyway, that’s me today.
p.s. How cute is this?!

Yeah they started going off here too! At like, 2:00 in the morning. And then our satelite was out, so I didn’t know what the heck was going on! But they sirens shut off about 5 minutes after they started…so that was a relief. It is a little more nerve racking when you can’t see it though.
I love the pictures! The girls look so cute!
I need to take mine back to the park when we don’t have all this wind!

I need to say this,
You have the most prettiest babies I’ve ever seen! Haha, really. I LOVE LOVE LOOOVE looking at the pictures! The little funny faces they pull off sometimes, cracks me up. And wow, I think Emma looks RIGHT like you while Ava is identical to Preston! Haha so adorable Sarah

Ugh. I know how you feel. I’m probably the clumsiest person alive. ^_^ I get bruises and don’t even realize it until days later, and then I can’t figure out where they came from. -_-;; It’s sad.
I love the twins’ outfits in this picture! You always have them dressed so cute. : ) And the shop has some beautiful things. When you get some more headbands I might have to purchase a few. Unfortunately, I don’t have any kids to purchase the cute baby bows for yet. ^_~ But everything is adorable.

To this “real” commenter…. when did I ever say I am perfect? When did I ever say I had perfect children and a perfect husband? In fact I have said the exact opposite numerous times…. that we are NOT perfect.
How is running a business not a “real job”?
And when did I ever say I hated gay people?
Lol must be awesome to be you.

people are sick these days
April 11th, 2008 at 11:48 am
ignore the haters sarah. Your children are beautiful and they look like they are having tons of fun on the swings.

Oh my goodness lay off. If anyone has a problem with Sarah, why the hell are y’all still coming to her site?
Nobody is perfect, and I have not once seen Sarah or Preston for that matter pretend as if they were. She doesn’t air her dirty laundry out for the entire world wide web to see, and I am pretty sure there is NO ONE who really does. That however does not mean she lives in this little world of imagined perfection.
I cannot recall one single post where the phrase, “my life is perfect, my husband is perfect, my marriage is perfect, my kids are perfect,” etc. was uttered.
Grow up. You may exercise YOUR right to not come to her site any more. But why would you do that? You obviously have nothing better to do but to pathetically attempt to belittle other people to try and make your existence seem a little more meaningful.

It’s okay, we are used to it by now…I don’t know why it matters what haters like them think. I think the reason why its such a sour feeling is because we are all human, all made from the same, created the same, and we all share this space together, and its sick to think of how many people spend so much of their time tearing someone else’s life down, apart… every chance they get. When in reality, they are really just doing it to themselves too, they just don’t know it yet.

The people that matter know the real “you” and how y’all are as people and parents. Opinions are opinions. I know I have different opinions with you for some things, but I don’t let that get in the way of how I view you as a person and mother. Fuck ‘em!
I can’t believe the girls haven’t been to a park before. I love the little shrieks kids give out when you push them. To me that’s one of my favorite sounds in the world; right next to a baby laughing.
I would be terrified with all the tornado stuff that goes on around you. Just the sound of the alarm and the clouds would be enough for me to freak out. I’m gad everything turned out to be fine.

Heh, that’s not too embarrasing. When I was 11 weeks pregnant (before I told anyone at work) I was walking down the stairs holding two heavy duty hole punches and I stepped just a little too far forward and slide down the whole flight of stairs. I had an 8 inch wide bruise on my lower back and I was so scared. When I looked up though, there were 6 BP direct employees all around me.

Where did THAT come from, “Real”!? Does happiness really threaten you that much? Try it…you just might like it! It’s free, it’s attainable…it’s a choice. Come on…give it a go. Peace & HAPPINESS to you!

We can hope can’t we?
