Jason & Sara

PART ONE

I was so stoked to be able to take some photos of my beautiful sister

Sara and her hubby of 7 years, Jason.

Sara and I met in the 2nd grade and quickly became BFF's. We we're inseparable... blood sisters, pen pals, teammates, dance partners, nintendo rivals, amateur song writers and co-conspirators. But in jr. high our childhood dream of becoming family became a surprising reality when her dad married my mom!…weird huh?

We were born to be sisters :)

Here's some photos of our time together

….a lot of photos.

Sara and Jason recently rescued and adopted their 1st child, a little guy named Spike!

Um…Jason you have a goegeous wife sitting next to you.

Stop kissing the dog!

We had So much fun :)

Spike is very timid and always nervous, but he was such a

good boy and even smiled for me a few times.

….PART TWO coming shortly

Today in the Car...

Nevaeh: "*Gasp* Mama! Look at that dog!"

Mama: "I see him. He's all by himself,

he doesn't have a leash does he"?

Nevaeh: "THAT is a safety violation!"

Mama: "Hahaha! A what?"

Nevaeh: "A safety violation...why are you laughing?"

Mama: "haha, because that's funny."

Nevaeh : "Mom. A safety violation is not funny."

….somebody get this girl a badge.

Sometimes...

My Valentine

On Saturday...

I took my valentine hiking!

It was a beautiful warm day.

Gorgeous views of the hills and Pacific.

Outdoors, sweating, exercising, talking, laughing.

Just our kind of day.

We ended up hiking a different trail than we intended,

but at the top of our 'mistake' trail

we found this...

Happy Valentines Day

My Love.

Night and Day

The differences in my two girls couldn't be greater

...I love it that way

Nevaeh has been sick since thursday, poor thing. I have never seen her so sick. Charlotte now has the cough that Nevaeh has but not the sick fever stuff that makes it so bad. Nevaeh is down and out. Charlotte has not stopped or skipped a beat. Nights have been rough.

Nevaeh trotted like a pink "triceratops" across the livingroom floor tonight...a good sign that she's on the mend. Charlotte yelled, "on ya mas...ge set...GO!" a hundred times

as she flew past the pink triceratops...

it's 8:30 and I'm going to bed.

Seriously though...

How cool is felt?

And we all know that when you are wearing

cute felt flowers on your hat,

one must...

...take one's baby for a walk

The Official Christmas Post

Merry Christmas Everyone!

...cricket.. cricket.. cricket

'Better late than never' right?... I suppose that all depends on what is coming huh? Well I appreciate the patience of all my blog readers frothing for new posts and photos!(sarcasm) So here is a quick rundown of the Christmas time festivities at the Abdulla household. The girls got sick Christmas week and so we had to cancel our plans to visit with friends and such. Bummed and tempted to milk the 'alone on Christmas' sob story, we realized how much we have to be grateful for this past year and how blessed we truly are just to have each other. We decided to make this year special for our little family and indeed it was(:

The countdown begins.

The tree is up and the decorating begins,

the camera is out and so the posing begins as well(:

Cookie making!

Potty training!

Two little kitties!

Crafting!

Lesson learned this year...

Jesus is SO awesome and loves us SO much

that he gives US presents on HIS birthday!

...how cool is that.
