Last Weekend

Last weekend was Carter's sister Shelby's birthday. We went on down to Orem and spent the night on Friday. We had dinner and played volleyball at Steve's parents house. Yes, I played volleyball. And, I had a nice purple bruise on my palm to show for it for a few days. It was fun though. We slept over and then on Saturday morning we went to Mimi's Cafe with Tom & Carol to celebrate all the June birthdays. (Tom, Carter, Lesli, Shelby, Jake)

They had a merry go round at there place too, so Steve and Shelby took Savannah on it.

Shelby's yummy cake!

S & S Swim Social

On Wednesday we got together with the Lund's (Joneel, Julie, Michelle) and the Smith's (Andy, Melissa, Stella) because they were in town. We went to Mimi's Cafe for lunch and then came back to my parents house and the girls had a swim social. Oh, and I taught Savannah how to say Stella that morning, so she'd say it and it was so cute. S-T-E-L-L-L-L-A.

Peek-a-boo!

Savannah wanted Stella IN that pool! She loves having kids around to play with.

Leave it to a man to stick balls in his daughters bathing suit! This was so hilarious though! Apparently Stella's not too excited about having boobies some day!

So cute! Little blondies!

Our visit with "Goose"

On Tuesday we went and visited Great Gran up in Ogden. We took her to lunch and then we just kind of played with Savannah.

Playing ball.

My Mom would pull Savannah away from Gran and then bring her back in and she was just giggling away.

She liked her phone too.
So out of no where while we were hanging out this poodle comes running down the hall. Savannah got all excited. You could tell she wanted to pet it, but was too afraid/excited. I'd put her hand up there and he'd lick her and she'd just giggle and pull away.

As we were leaving we told Savannah to say goodbye to Granny Goose (what my Mom calls her), and she goes, "Goose". First off, it was cute that she said it and secondly, she's never said that word.

L.O.V.E.

I took these pictures a couple of days ago while Savannah was looking out the window. She was fascinated with the gardeners mowing the lawn. I love how she's leaning her chin on the window seal and puckering those lips.

We had a funny experience with her last night. We got some Netflix movies in the mail, and she saw them and was like "Mowie, Mowie!", like she wanted to watch one. We said no, and it was time for her to go to bed anyway. So she goes over to the entertainment center, opens it and is trying to reach her Alvin and the Chipmunks movie. The new one, not the 80's one. She LOVES this movie. It is the only one she will watch. So it was on a higher shelf and she was on her tippy toes reaching and reaching. Carter said that she did it earlier so he knew she could do it again. She didn't get to it the way she did earlier though, she just decided to step up on a part of the center and then she could grab it. So after a few minutes of REALLY trying to get her favorite Mowie, Carter says, "Well, we've got to reward her now for trying to so hard." Meaning, let her watch a little. I knew it was a bad idea, cause she loves this movie and would want to watch all of it. So, we skip through a bunch of parts and just let her watch the main singing and dancing parts. During these parts, she will just start dancing all over the place. She watched for maybe 5 minutes and then I turned it off. (why do i have to be the bad guy?) She was so upset. Carter tried getting her ready for bed and she just kept crying and saying "mowie". We tried to brush her teeth, not a chance! I'll just say we learned (or Carter learned, because I already knew this might happen) to not pull out the Chipmunks right before bedtime unless she can watch the entire mowie.

Last Friday we went and saw Kung Fu Panda and ever sense then whenever she sees the poster for it, she says "Mowie". I can't believe she even remembers that. That has been amazing me all week.

36 Years!

36 years my hubby has been on this earth....

today is Carter's birthday and we had a fun filled, eventful day. This morning he went to breakfast with his dad and then came home and we took Savannah over to my Mom to watch her for the day. Then we headed over to the movies to see Iron Man. It was pretty good. I actually enjoy the superhero movies when they've got the good humor. Then we grabbed a REALLY quick lunch, like, down your food in 10 minutes!, and headed back to see Indiana Jones. This was the first Indiana Jones movie I've seen, so I didn't know any back story. It was good though. Then we headed down to Orem to go to Outback for dinner, but had some time to kill, so we walked around the mall (and of course bought Savannah something) and then met up with Carter's Mom for a few minutes. We then headed to Outback and stuffed ourselves good. We always share food wherever we go, but today we didn't and we both just ate way to much. It was yummy though. Then we went and picked up our sweet baby who was so excited to see us. She was insanely hyper while we visited with my Mom for a few minutes. We came home and looked at pictures, etc, that his Mom gave him today from when he was a kid. There were definitely some pictures that looked so much like Savannah around the same age. We had brownies and ice cream for dessert and now I'm heading off to bed, while Carter stays up and watches an episode of 24!! He's got the day off tomorrow and is going to be with Savannah while I go to work! He He. Then tomorrow night we're going to go see Kung Fu Panda! Movie mania! Carter wanted to see movies on his birthday, so we saw movies! I think he had a good day and it was fun spending it together! We love him!

New and fun things

On Saturday Carter and I decided that Savannah needed some new toys. She has a ton, but she gets bored with them lately or some aren't really age appropriate anymore, so off we went. We wanted to get puzzles and mega blocks and I was so excited when we found both at Target! We also got a cute little golf set for $2.50! As much as I go into Target, I rarely go to the toy department, it's always clothes. I'm sure when she gets older she'll be begging me to take her to the toy department. She seemed to just love playing with her new toys yesterday.



Carter's sister Caren brought up this play center probably about a year ago for Savannah and we just got it up on Thursday, but Sunday was the first time she got to play on it. She had fun letting Carter help her slide down the slide, but after awhile, I just stood at the bottom of the slide and encouraged her to do it by herself. She had the cutest "scared, but excited" look when she finally went down by herself. She was laughing and giggling and wanted to do it again. Then she started climbing up the slide to get back up, otherwise we had to lift her up. She really enjoyed it and is going to enjoy it all summer. Thanks again Caren!

Wearing Daddy's headphones!
Going to McDonald's and then to my parents last Monday.


These were two Sundays ago at the park down the road from us.

Savannah did not want to sit on this and Carter was having the hardest time getting her to.
1,2,3.....
This was her exact face as she came off the slide. So cute!

So this picture is posted mainly to the fact that I wanted to show just how blonde Savannah's hair is, AND that she totally has a baby mullet.


I just realized that Savannah is wearing blue in every one of these pictures! No one can say she only wears pink!

I know, I know

I know, I've posted a billion pictures, but these are a few off my parents camera.

At the Ruth's Chris Steak House.

I just love my hair in this picture! : )

Savannah's cherry outfit!
Now, I'm sorry, but this is just the cutest picture of all! To be framed...

Austin being I don't know what...
Sierra & Savannah....You don't have to growl Savannah, she's nice.

60 years!!
I love this picture. When it's blown up it looks really cool. It's so in the moment; like FREEZE! This was us walking back from the pool on our last night there and my parents drove by and took this picture.
This was on Oahu. Their were more pictures but I decided to just post this one. They look tired.
