9 months old


Happy 9 month birthday, Sarah! Jordan thinks we should have a party. With cupcakes. White cake and white frosting. With sprinkles. Skittles are okay, too. Just for Sarah, of course. As you'll see below. She looks a whole lot like her brothers!

Sarah, 9 months

Just for a little flashback fun. Here's Tyler at 9 months. It was Easter at #36 Sachem Village. We lived by our good friends Dave and Laurel Gibbons. Johnathan was just a little older than Tyler. Jason was in his first year of med school. We were planning to go to Kansas City for a family medicine conference and to spend the summer in Nevada where Jason would work with Dr. Christensen at the clinic/hospital in Ely.



This one is a 9 month old Jordan. Now, we're at #122 Sachem Village (how many times did they move us? Jaime, how about those times over at #21-#22? A community center now stands where our luxurious duplex once was. The duplex that was CONDEMNED because of toxic materials 5 months after we moved out!! Scary. So scary. Jason was in the middle of 3rd year rotations and we had the deepest snow I can remember. The entire playground was buried. There wasn't much room between our roof and the snow on the ground. Jaime and Emily, remember the stick-on linoleum? The mice? We were so cool. Micaela and Jordan were buddies. Connor and Jason were fun playmates. Ah...kiddie sachem. How many times did we walk around that circle and up Oakridge??



Not too long ago, the 9 month old Carter. It was Christmas. I decided to sew costumes. I don't sew. At all. My mom showed up just at the right moment and helped me sew all the Christmas super hero costumes and maintain my sanity during Jason's intern year. I will never forget how helpful and wonderful she was. We were in the house we now live in. It was such a wonderful Christmas. Thanks, Mom!

Fun, cute babies and good times!! We feel so blessed to be able to live here and have all our little ones in such a beautiful place with wonderful people.

I don't know about you, but I for one walked that oakridge circle 158 times just during my last two weeks of pregnancy with Micaela! Remeber how we used to ogle all the 'real' houses? Those are good times.. when all your kids will fit in a double stroller.. :) Your kids are soo adorable! That baby pic of Jordan sure brings back memories!

I Think Sarah looks the most like Tyler comparing their nine month pictures. Fun to do. Adorable kids, Steph
