I forgot to post pictures of the 4th of July.  Here are two from the Provo parade.  I love the little one of Sara.  She is standing and putting her hand over her heart for the National Anthem.  She was super tired, but a total trooper.  Each city in Utah County has a float for their pageant queens and Sara would exclaim “princess” and wave to each girl.  She would oooh and aaahhh at all the floats, especially the giant pirate ship.

At a recent softball game, Sara made friends with some fans and showed off her dancing skills. I can’t imagine where she learned how to shake her booty like that!

I am so glad we were able to attend the Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house. After a long week of moving, this was the perfect end to a very hectic week.  As soon as Sara saw the temple as we drove up the street, she shouted, “TEMPLE!”  She was very eager to get inside.  I was proud of how many times she recognized Jesus in the various paintings throughout the temple. I tried to explain the significance of the different parts of the temple, but I’m pretty sure my two year old still thinks the baptismal fount is a giant bathtub.

We celebrated Sara’s second birthday with a Minnie Mouse party. She loved the costume she got to wear and all the Minnie Mouse decorations that filled our house for the few weeks leading up to her party.  She was most excited about getting birthday cake.  She knew that once Nana arrived, she would get to eat Minnie Mouse birthday cake. We loved having so many people over to share in Sara’s special day. She couldn’t wait until her party was over to play with some of her favorite presents. She immediately put on her new high heels and pushed her dolly around in its stroller. I can’t believe my little baby is already two years old.  Happy Birthday Sara!
