Happy Birthday Savana!





Yes, her birthday was actually a week ago, but we finally celebrated this week. I wanted to get her a cradle for her doll, but couldn't find one I liked, so I had to order it. We waited for it to come, and then celebrated. I'm thinking now that maybe the doll cradle was premature for her, since all she wants to do is "ride" in it. So we sang lullabies and Canon rocked her doll while I rocked her. She really liked that and kept asking for "more." I guess she isn't ready to give up being the baby yet :) But she did love her cake. She was so good at posing for pictures and knew that she needed to blow the candle out! On her birthday we went to a new splash pad they have at one of our favorite parks. I'm sure if she could have picked our dinner for the celebration, she might have picked PB & J. That seems to be a new favorite of hers. She also loves shoes and balls, which is where the inspiration for the cake came from. This month her favorite pair of shoes are pink sparky Mary Jane style Converses. She will even wear them without socks, which is saying a lot, because she won't wear sandals. What else can I say about our baby girl. She is so fun and growing too fast. She is talking a lot more and is becoming a little copy cat. We Love You Savana!

Happy 25th Birthday Mommy!


Hey, if I'm doing the writing, I can be whatever age I want to be right?? Seth pulled through and made it a great birthday. He had a co-worker make me a cake - A Utah cake if you can't tell, complete with a lake, mountains and a little beehive on it. Pretty funny. Canon saw the cake and wanted to know who stole a piece of the cake from the corner. He also got me a gift card to a day spa. My feet are so excited to get a pedicure!

In the back you can catch a glimpse of our new kitchen color (our Memorial Day project) and the bouquet of flowers I picked from our back yard. They are big huge peonies. They bloom and fall right over because they are so big. So I thought I might as well enjoy them standing up in a vase. Since I haven't been here in this house during the summer yet, it has been fun to see what treasures our yard is producing.
