lazy monday

i dont think im going to hit the gym today... i know right im a bad kid. maybe ill have the motavation around 4pm when the child watch opens again. or i might take a walk and let sage play at the park.

i do have good news!!! i am done christmas shopping. well i do have some things for the parents but no mall required. i do need to go to hobby lobby and pick up some things for wrapping the gifts.

sage is walking like crazy and loved to take my purse and walk around like a big girl. she has started to not like the gerber todler meals so its now on to real big kid food. i need to get ideas of things to feed her. my growing toddler is getting to big and it makes me sad that i dont have my little baby any more. baby fever has kicked in and it is now time to try for baby #2. i know sage will be a good big sister one day and now that she is more independent i could handle 2 kids.

not a very good picture but she is loving my bag

go pokes. watching the big game 

off to chase my girl around and get some stuff done around the house.

get skinny day 1

so i went to the y today and did 45 min of carido. if felt great to get back there and get my body moving. im ready to see some results and have some of my cloths not fit. Now its time to do laundry and have lunch. im sure ill get a shower in there some where.

ok for real this time

i need this... i have now realized that after being gone  for the blogging world for about 4 months or so i need to blog. i have been getting the itch to wight after my first born turned one last month and I've started doing some photography and getting paid to do it and i now feel like I'm doing what i am meant to do with my life. I love where we are right now as a family and where god has us. James and I are having a great marriage right now and are more in love now than we have been in years. like i said sage turned one last month and she is walking and trying to talk more every day. We had our first ear infection and lived to tell about it. it was a tuff week with two doctor appointments and one nasty shot but she was better the next day. James is now working for ADT security and loving it so far. the hours are flexible and he can help me when i need it. i have been working out more but stopped when we all got sick and then thanks giving but monday is going to be a new start to that and i will be blogging my way skinny. i might even post pictures to help me on the way to fit. i know that not manny people read this but just getting it all out there will keep me sane and focused on a goal. i need you support people and if you need mine im here.

sage loves her iphone

i fail at blogging

this is the 3rd time i have re started this blog and i know it will not be the last.

sage is now 9 months old and getting so big. she has learned to pull up and cruse around the couch all in less than a week. james lost his job but we pray that he finds a new one soon. the dell job would be the best thing for us but only god knows what will happen. we are in a down time at the moment but i will not lose faith. i have started working out and it has been going well. i have a new love of cardio and superzingly i am in better shape than i thought i was. my goal is to back at my pre baby weight by her first birthday. nothing els new going on in the molloy family today. loving life and getting stronger every day

its nice out today

i just have to tell everyone out that that it is nice out today. sage and i went on a walk in the park with rachel and mark tompson and their baby michael and their dog brandy. it was fun to get out and i cant wait to do it again. i hope to go out more and if your would like to join us let me know and i will text u that day what time and we hope to c u there. we walk around earlywine park and get a good work out on the windy days. we alway have the babies but if u dont have one u can till walk with us. hope everyone gets a chance to go out and enjoy this great day.

its nap time for everyone but me

 its 3:20 and what is the molloy family going yes baby and dad are napping.  mommy is watching a movie and surfing the net. its been a good day so far we did our weekly shopping and went to chick-fil-a and they geve sage a ink bib and a little cow. we have switch tonight and i cant tell u how much i love going and being with my friends and serving god. here are some pictures from today.

the cow and bib they gave sage at chick-fil-a 

daddy and sara napping

sage napping

best thing ever!!!! lol its 3 ketchup packets in one. yes this made my day 

learning to sew

mother in  law brought this over

the first one 

the one with taggies only slightly harder to make

so this week i learned to sew.... kinda. i made sage two blankets one with taggies and one with out. i think i did pretty good for a first time. there not too big just like a lap blanket for in the car. she loves the taggie one and chews the tags witch is what i think they are ment for. i got the fabric and the ribbon for 12$ and that is for two. it was a lot cheaper than buying one on etsy. embelsing onsies is my next project. sage will be having a photo shoot at the end of the month and ill be making a tutu and a onsie for that mommy and me shoot. nothing els new today.

silent

right now it is silent in my house, the TV is off, sage is sleeping and the dogs are next to me on the couch resting. we had a play date with Lisa Nicole and Kristy and one other lady that i didn't know. i was fun. we ordered pizza and Kristy made brownies. the baby's kinda played while the moms talked their two older ones got into everything and watched so Dora. it made me see that a mom life group would be a really good idea and i cant wait to put it into action. I'm going to meet with Mensa next week and get it set up, i hope that once the word gets out we have some moms show up and its not just me at the church alone. i will be praying about it this week and hoping that its what god wants me to do with my time one day a week. i hope to not only be a support to moms but also get help one things that i need support on. i know it was and awanser to prayer and gods timing when i asked Mensa about it this weekend.

on another note we re- started solids this last week and sage is doing way better. she doesn't eat much but i make and oz and she will most of the time eat half and then i give the other half later and its working for us. this week its going to be carrots, i made them this morning and we will start them tomorrow. James didn't get his bonus on the check this week so i have to wait till next week to get the cloth diapers. we will start them one day and i just hope that its not to late and that it will be worth it for us. i know that i can make the extra laundry work and that it wont be to nasty.

next goal is to get the things i need to make a taggie blanket and learn to sew with it. i know i can do it and i know i will have the time to make it i just  need to tell James I'm getting the fabric and go do it. nothing els new in the world of sage and the the molloy clan but tomorrow is another day

sun stand still

dear god,
i am on my knees and i am asking for a help. i know that you are so big and can make the sun stand still. i need to see that in my life right now. i know that you have us here for a resion and u wouldn't give us things that we couldn't handle well i want more i want a house so sage can have a room of her own. i feel like crap for asking this because i am being selfish and i shouldn't be. i want, no i need your help to become better with our finances and be able to move out of this house. dear god please  open the doors and smack me in the face if i don't see it. i thank you lord for showing me that i can be an awanser to someones prayer and i hope that we can get a group of moms together a do life together. i love that i can stay home with sage and teach her new things everyday. i love that u have given her to us and blessed us with a beautiful healthy little girl that is growing up so fast. lord just help me see a merical in my life. help the thing with our taxes work out and the va be finished in a timely manor. i love u lord

blogging took a back seat

this is sage at 5 months sucking on an apple

i havent blogged in quite a long time and its not cuz i havent wanted to its just that we have been on the move for the last month getting into new adventures and growing so fast. sage is now up to about 15lbs witch as u know has been quite a struggle. we have kinda started solids but we are taking it slow. she has only had oatmeal and peas and we stopped cuz the peas didnt work with her tummy to much. we started back up with week and it seems to be going better. she likes the gerber puff alot and we did break down and give her bits of french fry. she is still chewing on everything and im just waiting on the day that a tooth pops out. the weather has warme up and im hopping to start walking more with sage so i can drop some of this weight. nothing new just cleaning and im going to start learning to sew. sage will be moving to cloth diapers soon and i cant wait for that to start saving us some money. my milk supply cant keep up with her so we are having to use formula more than i wanted too but im ok with it because she is growing more and the dr is happy with that.

its monday!!!

well its monday morning 9:20am and for some reasion i am up and sage is still sleeping. i think she was so tuckered out from the supper bowl last night that she just wants to sleep the day away, and i might just let her. i am randomly up beat this morning and i have know idea why. i feel great and sgae is growing!!! we put her in some 3month clothes this weekend and it was great. we did the whole weight ur self then hold the baby and it said she weighted 11lbs fully clothed witch is a heck of a lot better than just over 7lbs she was a week and a half ago. i hope that she will continue to grow and gain weight like she should. i still dont think she should have to fit into a chart but i just want her to weigh more than what she did at birth. sage will be 4 months soon and it has gone by so fast... looking back at pictures of the day she was born is a good look at how much she has changed. i cant wait to c how much she will change with in the first year. i have to figure out who to call about my w2 that is wrong so james and i can file our taxes and start to build our house. i know god will make it work out the way he wants it to. i am looking to the day that we move out of here and into a home of our own

loving life

snow is on the way

oklahoma weather cracks me up. we had a nice 76 on friday and now tonight we are getting ready for a blizzard of some sort. im so ready for spring!!!

sage is getting better slowly but we go to the dr on thursday for a weight check. hope its up this week if not we start adding formula 2x a day. go back on the 16th if its still down we start looking at a spicalist to find out whats wrong. i love her little but i just want her to grow.

started a new book and i hope to become inspired. its called lioness awaken, i hope that god opens my eyes  to a new light.

pink is now my least favorite color

my little girl is getting over a cold and has pink eye at the same time. james came home with a temp of 101 last night and had to sleep on the couch cuz im not going to get sick and have to take care of everyone lol. i pray to god that i dont get pink eye and that it become and endless sick family.

ive been so proud of my self for keeping up with cleaning the house and reading my bible every morning. i know that god will be working in our life this year and im ready for the suprizes around the corner. james and i have decided that we are going to build our house this year and hope to start building with in the next month or two. should be moving in this summer. i cant wait for what god is doing in the molloy family

snot everywhere

my poor baby is sick and there is nothing i can really do about it. i hate sucking the boggies out cuz she crys so much but i know i have to do it. she didnt sleep well last night but i have the best hubby ever cuz he held her while she was sleeping for 3 hours last night while i got some good sleep. i dont think i could have surived today with out it. i went out and got this elitric boogie getter and so far its good, it takes lest time to get them out so sage will cry less. last time i had said that we were going to try and new recipy this week and we did. it was ok i never would have put bacon and apples together in a sandwich but it worked. james and i went to look at a builder for our house and we loved it. i cant wait to start the build in the next month or so. its crazy to think that this summer we will be in our house and sage will have her own room and the dogs will have a back yard to play, james will have a grill and a gas stove and i will have my master bath. i cant wait to have people over and decorate the rooms.

so much to dream about and so much time to dream.

trying something new

we go shopping on wednesday for our weekly grocery run. this week were going to try something new. were going to try a new recipe for dinner. james is going to make an apple bacon fried sandwich i cant wait to eat it. loving this new look on life that james and i have, ive been so happy after that start of the new year i dont know what to do with my self.  ill let u know about how that sandwich is later this week. for now i have to get that baby and have dinner

productive day with sage

today was so nice sage got a full nights sleep and i loved it. she then sleeped for another four hours. then we had lunch and played a little. then i cleaned the bathroom and our bedroom and did some laundry. i felt so good about my self that i want to do it more. who knew that i would love staying at home with my little girl and being a house wife. james said that he loved that i cleaned cuz now he didnt have to do it. he got home at a deacent time today and made dinner and we gave sage a bath. we gave her some karyo syrup tonight cuz its been a week from the last poop. i would never think that i would pray for poop every other night. i think to myself "do other moms pray for poop?" well the baby is calling and i must feed her so that she will poop. i love this girl and she is growing so fast. goal for tomarrow is to vacume the apartment and dust. serving at church this weekend and maybe the zoo on monday. good night world hope its a good one.

stuck inside on a cold day

whats going on with the weather its nice one week and freezing the next... im sitting in my rocker with my little girl sleeping on my lap. the laundry has been started and the house is quite. Its gloomy out and i can feel the cold from the window. i wish i could be in cali where its nice all year and i could go to the park or the beach and play with sage. i think im going to pick up that baby blanket i wanted to make for sage well see how that turns out im going to start over from scratch so i can make it even and look right.

here we go hope this doesnt take me to long

it got me thinking...

It hit me this week that i am now a stay at home mom and well thats ok with me. Growing up i would have never pictured that I would have ever been a stay at home mom at the age of 23. I had always saw my self with a family and a career, not have my family be my career. now there is know way I could see myself going to work and leaving sage with someone everyday, I would miss so much. sage has been changing everyday and growing so fast.

I know with this new year will come with  new challenges and I know that I will grow along with sage. I hope to become closer to god and in turn I will be the mother and wife that I am ment to be. I pray daily that i give everything to god and dont hold back. It will be a learning year for our family and i'm ready for it and to look back and see what god has done. Hope it doesn't move too fast and we can love life and smile more than we cry.

To all my new moms out there let us band together and learn from each other this year.

all things new

Its a new year and I'm a new mom. I have a wonderful new daughter named sage and she is my world. I don't know what i would do with out her in my life. Things have changed so much in 2010... i got out to the air force after a whopping 5 months of service, I got things done with the va, I started the lets have a baby trend at church, i went to disney world with my side of the family and that was a crazy adventure i can only do every 5 years. Its now the start of a new year with new things coming our way. We hope to move out of this tiny apartment and get sage her own room and the dogs a back yard.

I'm so looking forward to watching sage grow and change along with all our friends that have had new babys. She rolled over for the first time today and is really changing every week. The idea of being a stay at home is becoming more and more real as the times goes on. I'm starting to look forward to taking her to school and helping her with homework. I cant wait to take her to dance or soccer or any thing she wants to try out. soon we will start play dates with levi or other stay and home moms i meet.

I really hope to get some more friends that stay at home with their kids so i dont stay at home all day alone. well sage is starting to cry and james is on  his way home.... time to get up and play with my daughter... oh how i love how that sounds, i have a daughter and she is so beautiful

live, laugh and love
