The Month of Sarah

 May almost felt like a month dedicated to me with both Mother's Day and my birthday!

Damien decorated this little notebook for me at school for Mother's Day

Scott took Damien to pick out a Mother's Day gift for me. So sweet! I already ate a cookie before this picture was taken lol

Damien and me on Mother's Day. Look how tall he is!

My parents sent me some money for my birthday so I decided to get myself a few things. Not pictured are some new bed sheets since I only had one queen sized set and wanted another. 

I ordered myself some crochet supplies and some drink mixes in various flavors

Here are my various attempts at a single crochet. It's hard!

Trying out a circle

For May's cake, I got to choose the flavor since it was my birthday cake. I picked a hummingbird cake, which is a spiced cake with banana and crushed pineapple with cream cheese frosting. It was good!

The birthday girl!

On my birthday, Scott treated Damien and I to lunch at a Japanese Steakhouse. So good!

One of my favorite meals--steak and shrimp hibachi! I also got to try Taro Bubble Tea--yum! 

Damien ordered sushi and wanted to try chopsticks for the first time :D

We made my cake a week before my birthday so we'd have time to eat it before I headed out to Washington to spend some quality time with my grandma. The whole trip was great! I bought a lot of stuff for myself (mostly clothes), and my grandma treated me to getting my hair and nails done. But the absolute best part was just spending some quality time together. I also got to see my aunt, uncle, and cousins which was very nice. Washington is so green and pretty and smells amazing! Too bad there's too many people there.

Tiger! It took him a few days to warm up to me enough to sit on my lap

Grandma and I :D

My last evening in Washington we ate at a marina. Very nice!
