Rock On

Earlier this month we went up to visit my sis Erin and bro-in-law Trevor. We went out to dinner and saw their new apartment. I took some pictures of them and some of Erin and Noah. I do believe Erin and Trevor can be credited with teaching Noah the 'rock on' sign.

Please don't let your house stink

So, I have decided to become a sales consultant for a company called SCENTSY. They make these really great 'wickless' candles. Please check out my website www.scentsy.com/sarahcross and if you like what you see and want to host a party let me know. Just order from me so I can be a bazillionare and never have to work again. Geez.

I've been tagged

1. What was I doing 10 years ago?
Probably sluffing school and then hanging out with my best friend Jessica doing things we thought were absolutely hilarious.

2. Five things to do today?
Well it is 7 in the evening but I still have at least five things to do.
1. Throw my clothes in the dryer.
2. Give Noah a bath.
3. Pick up the house as much as possible.
4. Put Noah to bed and pray he stays there.
5. Watch a documentary about 'outsider artist' Henry Darger. I saw an exhibition of his work a few years ago at the American Folk Art Museum and just got this doc on my netflix. If any of you have seen the movie Junebug the art is very similar.

3. What snacks do I enjoy?
There are so many. I love red vines and cake batter ice cream from cold stone.

4. What would I do if I were suddenly a billionare?
I would give a lump sum to my siblings for them to do whatever with. I would host a FABULOUS family reunion yearly. I would buy several lovely homes and hire a nanny so I could sip margarita's by the pool and hang out with the handsome new pool boy.

5.Three bad habits?
I am too quick to anger.
I judge too harshly.
I eat too much.

6.Five jobs I've had?
Heavy Construction Equipment Operator
Hospital Registrar
Optician
Sales associate @ JCPenney
Waitress at the finest restaurant in Delta.

7.Five things people don't know about me?
I think being a mom is the hardest thing I've ever done.
I love jerky
I was in the National Guard
I hate emails that say "this really happened" and you know it is completely fake.
I used to be a 8 1/2 shoe size and after I had Noah I am a 9 1/2 wide.

Leap

Today Noah and I had some surprise visitors at our door. It was Hayley and her friend Brittany! I heard the doorbell ring and looked out the peep-hole and there they were! We were so excited to see them. I haven't seen Brit in quite a while and am happy she came. She has such a great energy about her and is just like a little sister to me. They ran around in the back yard with Noah for a while and burned a little bit of his energy.

Shout out to my pretend boyfriends

Holla! I just want to give a shout out to my pretend boyfriends. I have two of them for the moment. I know, it is hard to juggle two boyfriends even pretend ones, because what if they both suddenly tried to become my real boyfriends and then they fought over me and I would just have to tell them to deal with it and I would love them both equally. My first pretend boyfriend is Nick Stahl. I just finished watching both seasons of 'Carnivale' on my netflix and am now madly in love with him. I took it as further proof that he was to be my new p.b. when I was flipping through the channels one night and 'Terminator 3', in which he is one of the stars, was on and it was then that I knew it was time for me to start this pretend relationship. Now, my other p.b. I see quite often and I would not want him to know, because then he might stop his pretend flirting and that would really hurt me to not be able to misinterpret all of his actions as him being in love with me and my being his pretend girlfriend. Both of my p.b.'s are unattainable, I know, but Nick Stahl, if you are reading this just give me a shout out and I will definitely consider being your new p.g.

Grandpa Comes to Town

Yesterday my dad came down to visit me and Noah. We hung out at the house, went out to lunch, went to the toy store, and bought Noah some new clothes. Noah loves his grandpa so much! After we got done shopping we came back to the house and I took some pictures of them in the backyard. For some reason there is some 'ghosting' (i don't know if that is a real term) at the bottom of the pictures. Maybe I should have used a lens hood? I don't really know. It is a brand new slr digital camera and I am not completely versed in the way of the Nikon yet. Anyhooo, I thought I'd share the pics I took.
