Happy Thanksgiving... Happy Birthday

 This Thanksgiving we are thankful for our little Turkey.  Happy Birthday Little Leo.  Where has the last year gone?  We love you so much.  We love how you kick your legs when you get really excited.  We love your little machine gun giggle.  We love how you look so serious when you wave.  We love your little teeth.  We love the little blonde hair you do have.  We love your kisses.  We love having you a part of our family.  You are our Sabey Baby!  Happy Birthday little man!.

Happy Birthday Allen!

Happy Birthday Mr. Sabey!  The Sabey Baby and I are sure lucky to have you in our life.  Happy 27!  

We just love you!

Where's Leo?

Leo really likes playing "where's Leo?"  

Girl Crush

There are certain women that I meet that I say, I want to be like them someday.  They are inspiring.  I want to learn as much as I can from them.  Right now my current crush is Sister Satterfield our mission president's wife.  I don't really know her.  I have met her a few times, but I have heard her speak at Stake conference numerous times. When she talks, I want to be a better person.  Look at that picture... just from that pictures you can tell she is such a happy soul with so much light to share.  Yesterday, one of the young women reminded me of something she said in stake conference.  We are all seeds... learning and growing and turning into flowers but it is okay that I am not a perfect flower yet.  We are all works in progress with so much potential.  I am going to keep learning and growing and struggling and someday I can be a beautiful flower too.  

Does anyone else have a secret girl crush?  

Halloween through the years...

I don't remember too many Halloweens as a kid.  I don't really like scary Halloween.  But when I got to college it was more about just dressing up with your friends and family... here are some of my favorites.  

Dressed up as CJ Roy... my RA

Look at that crew... we make a pretty great Wizard of Oz cast.  

My junior year I was in Die Schweiz and it was a Sunday... so we dressed up as Sister Missionaries.  

This one might be my all time favorite.   Any ideas?  I will give you a clue.... ONLY AT BYU.  

Then there is the go to costume we always have on hand... the lion.  

You can't really tell,but I am wearing a Chinese Kimono with a sign on my back that says,
"Maid in China"  

I really like this one too! 

 These were our throw together costumes.  Allen was self absorbed

And this year we are so happy to have our little Theodore! With many more cute Halloween outfits to come!

Our Halloween Weekend

We're From Alabama

After living in Alabama for over a year, we now can say we are Alabamians because we went to the Syrup Sop in Loachapoka. Doesn't that just sound like your stereotypical Alabama town?  We got up to be there at 7:00 so we could get our Biscuits and Syrup, we walked around the city festival booths, for 20  minutes or so, and by 7:30 we were done but in that 30 minutes of cold weather and molasses syrup we were transformed from visiting westerners to true blue Alabama Southerners!

Sick Day

Today I woke up not feeling well.  At first I struggled with thinking about this day.  When I was sick before Sabey Baby, I stayed in bed all day, but I can't really do that anymore.  Yesterday I made a list of everything I wanted to accomplish today thinking those things would make me feel productive.  Well today, I slept while Leo slept.  Then When Leo was awake we just hung out.  We sat on the couch, he crawled all over me, we looked out the window, he chewed on the blinds string, we went outside for fresh air, we did the simple things.  Nothing on my list got accomplished, the dishes aren't done, the house is dirty, no crafts were done, no thank you cards written, but what turned out to be a day I wasn't looking forward to, turned out to be a great day.  Me and my little buddy had a good relaxing, yet playful day.  I feel more productive than ever!
