Our Florida Trip- September 2012


We went to Florida a few weeks back.  I had to shoot a wedding on Saturday the 14th in Rosemary Beach so Taylor and I decided since our 8yr anniversary was the next day we would make a trip out of it.  Our good friends Dustin and Ashley decided to go with us as well.  We had so much fun.  We stayed in some really nice condos in Sea Crest which is right next to Rosemary on 30A.  We arrived on Friday evening and as soon as we walked in the condo we all headed out to the balcony to see the ocean.  Burke started pointing his little finger up and going "ooh ooh"  We all looked up and OH MY GOODNESS!!!  I have never seen that many dragonflies in my life.  It was so awesome!  There is a video below.  Saturday morning we hit the beach and the kids LOVED it.  Burke wasn't too sure about the sand but he loved the water.  I headed off to my wedding later that day which was SO MUCH FUN!!!!  Ben and Kelsey are from Little Rock.  I have known Kelsey's family for a long time and just love them.  Ben's family was equally as nice and welcoming.  The wedding was beautiful and everything was just perfect.  The rest of the week we vegged at the beach and by the pool.  Burke loved playing in the baby pool and going under the water.  He is a little fish.  The food was great but I think we can all agree our favorite dinner was the one we made at the condo.  It was a feast.  We made shrimp, chicken and steak kabobs, sauteed mushrooms, asparagus and squash oh and rosemary potato slices in the oven.  OH MY GOODNESS my mouth is watering just talking about it.  We talked to some people on the beach one evening and they said they had 2 stingray's swim past them one evening when they were out swimming.  
It was a great trip and a much needed vacation for us all.  I can't wait to go back with Burke and Winnie :)

Okay the video is below and you can't see all the dragonflies like I thought you could.  Oh well we all there will remember :)



Burke did great on the drive.  We turned him around so he could see out and also watch his Praise Baby which he wanted to watch the WHOLE time.  I love the music but it got a little old having to listen to it over and over again.






Can you see the dauphins?


It was nasty rainy for one full day.  The waves were crazy and the clouds were so dramatic.  It reminded me of the day we were evacuated from Sea Grove, FL 8yrs ago 2 days before our wedding :)








Alivia loves her some Taylor!  I love this picture!














Look at that face.  He LOVED the water.

Our YUMMY home cooked dinner.

Baby Burke- Please Pray

Taylor and I went in for our big ultrasound this morning. I am 18 weeks along now, so they were checking out our baby boy closely. They found 2 genetic markers that caused a red flag. One cyst on the brain and his kidneys are enlarged. We need lots of prayers right now. Prayers for these markers to disappear and for our baby boy to be healthy. We also need prayers for our sanity as we wait, hope and pray. We will go back for another ultrasound in 8 weeks (March 31). We were told not to look this up on the internet and would appreciate only positive comments on this situation. God is good and we are leaving it in His hands. Thanks for your prayers, Sarah

Introducing Mamie's Poppy Plates

As you all know, I am Mamie's mom, and Mamie was my first child. I was pregnant with her from October 2008 to June 25th, 2009 when she was born a sleeping angel (stillborn) two and a half weeks before her due date. Stillbirth and infant death are realities that too many parents face even today. Did you know that each year 1 in 115 babies delivered is stillborn? And 1 in every 102 newborns die before the age of 28 days old? Now, a year after losing Mamie, I have started Mamie's Poppy Plates, my organization providing keepsakes for parents who are not able to take their babies home from the hospital. Because handprints and footprints are something that we cherish as parents of children in Heaven or here on this earth, I wanted to find a beautiful way to preserve such a precious reminder of our babies. Your donation of $13 will provide a plate to bereaved families who are delivering at St. Vincent Hospital. Their baby’s birth stats, hand and footprints will be stampe

Burke 24 weeks and update on doctor's visit

We had our big ultrasound the other week and I have been meaning to update you all. Sorry for the delay. First off I did pass my glucose test which is great news. To celebrate Taylor bought me a big snickers :) ha! just what I needed after drinking pure sugar water all morning on an empty stomach. I did have a total melt down at Cornerstone that morning. After drinking the sugar water I figured Burke would be bouncing around in my belly. I couldn't get him to move at all. I can't even begin to tell you all how scared I was. I rushed back to my nurse in tears begging for them to get the doppler out. Within seconds I was on the table as they rubbed the doppler across by belly. I was a total wreck. I just keep thinking in my head "I have lost another baby!" The nurse quickly found his heartbeat and everything looked and sounded great. I was SO relieved but couldn't pull it together. I wanted to curl up in a ball and cry my heart out. Why? Why did I ha
