Happy 2nd Birthday Sariah

Sept 4 2006

If memory serves me correct, it all started in the late summer of 2008, September 3rd to be exact (yes part of Sept is still considered summer). At the start of the day our family was three but by the next day there would be four. The day started out like any other Sunday: wake up, eat breakfast, get dressed, go to church, come home, eat lunch..... well you get the idea. By late afternoon a change would come that would make the day more memorable than any other Sunday, except for that one Sunday.... but anyway. A new life was ready to make it's entrance into the world. By now everyone should no were this story is going. I'll just summarize the next few hours. Ok I think it went something like this, "I think it's time." "Ok let's go." vrmmm vrmmm. "Ok we're here." "OWWWWWW I need some drugs!!!!!!" "Ok that's better." "Push, push, breathe, push." Ok she's out." "Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Banks here is your new baby girl." "Yay!" And so on Sept. 4 2006 (labor day, how ironic) we welcomed Sariah Cristiana Banks into the world and our lives. And since that day she has blessed our lives with such happiness and joy. I am forever grateful for the blessing of such wonderful and special kids (with one on the way) as well as wife who takes such great care of them both. This is what makes life worth living. No matter what the day brings, they are what keep me going. Please enjoy the pictures celebrating the first 2 years of Sariah's life.

Family Fun Fest

Today was the Family Fun Fest at our church and what a turn out it was. It's supposed to be the final fun fest, but I don't know why, it's such a success and so much fun. The kids always have a blast eating popcorn, cotton candy, and not to mention the potluck. But what's more fun then all the extreme fun rides.

Whoa dad, what happened to the landing?

I survived the Shark!

Only a real man would drive the kiddy train.

We're just enjoying the ride while dad drives the train.
