Happy Birthday my Sweet Savannah. I can't believe that it has been four years already. Time sure does go by quickly. We celebrated Savannah and my nieces big day together(seeing that they share the same birthday). We had cake and ice cream (Savannah's choice) and apple crisp and ice cream (Taylor's choice). Lots of singing and opening presents and spending time together as a family. It sure makes for a busy day celebrating 2 girlies birthdays - but I think Savannah feels really special that her and her cousin have the same birthday.
It was a lot of fun to watch Savannah open her presents and admire her cake. He favorite present of the day was ......drum roll please....... her Dora pajamas. I know it seems kinda silly that out of all of her presents it was the Dora jammies that received the biggest squeal of delight! A big thanks to our family and friends for helping to make Savannah's birthday extra special.

Our Little "E" is One!!

A little over a month ago we celebrated our Little E's birthday. I can't believe that a year has gone by so quickly!! Honestly... I hope I made time to enjoy every minute of it. Easton is such a sweet boy! He makes us giggle every day - with a few moments of insanity each day too. We sure love our little guy and can't imagine our lives without him. We had a great celebration with family and friends to welcome our little guy to the crazy year of a one year old. We hope he enjoyed his special day and knows how much we love him.

What Easton is up to these days:

He is walking, walking, walking EVERYWHERE!
He is quite the explorer.
He is very curious - almost too curious.. He wants to get into everything.
He has always measured tall and skinny - he still does.
He loves his brother and sisters.
He adores the dog and is trying to learn how to bark like her.
He loves to play with his dinos in the tub.
He loves, loves, loves his blankies...
...and binkis too.
He loves to eat anything we are eating-
Some of his favorite foods are peaches, pickles, and grapes.
He is such a cute dancer - getting his whole body into the music.
He is learning to shake his head yes and no - which is quite the sight.
He is a cuddler but stingy with his kisses.
He has the cutest dimples and the biggest blue eyes.
We adore him!

Happy Birthday Easton!

Kennedy's Baptism!

I know... I am a little behind... but better late then never!!
Our Sweet Kennedy was baptized many months ago. She looked beautiful and we are so proud of her. Way to go Kennedy! Many people asked how Chris felt about it or what he thought about it - and he was just so happy and proud of her too. He is not LDS nor has he shown any interest in learning about it. However, we have always given each other mutual respect when it comes to religion and beliefs. He was behind her 100% of the way because it was something that she wanted to do. I am thankful that he encourages, supports, and allows our children to grow and develop, and make their own decisions. Kennedy was so happy that her daddy came to see her get baptized and came to see her primary program. Hopefully she will be able to understand that even though we don't all believe in the same things all the time - we can always believe in each other. (sappy I know - but it's true)

Easton's Pictures!

Easton, Easton, Easton...
He is trying to crawl, trying to talk, and even had his 1st haircut. Can't I just freeze time? It is so sweet to see my bright eyed little guy carrying on a conversation with anybody in the family that will listen (including the dog). I really think that he may talk before he walks or maybe even crawls for that matter. He also has figured out that he really doesn't need to crawl - he can just do one big continuous roll to get from one place to another. It is quite comical to watch. He keeps the whole family laughing most days.
So these pictures we had taken the other day. He was not having anything to do with it! He was crying and nervous and scared of the camera - but we ended up getting a few shots. I had some other things to dress him in but I never had the chance to change him because he was too upset. Oh well at least we have captured him at 8 months because I know he will just keep changing and growing. His hair has already grown out some in the past 2 weeks. He will probably take after his brother and need his haircut every 4 weeks. LUCKY ME!!! Hopefully he will always like them as much as he did the 1st time. He did such a great job they even were able to use the clippers and trim around his ears and his neckline. Way to go buddy!
Well my little man is growing up so fast. He is already changing from looking like a baby into looking like a little boy. It is so bittersweet I tell you. I know without a shadow of a doubt that our family is complete -but I am so missing each stage that we are passing through with Easton for the last time. He has been such a blessing to our family and I can not imagine us without him.

Kennedy's Birthday!

I honestly can't believe that my little girl is turning eight. The time has gone by in the blink of an eye. Kennedy is such a sweet girl. She makes me smile every day. She is a hard worker, a great big sister, an amazing soccer player, she loves, loves, loves school, and brightens my day with just being her silly little self. It has been such a joy to be her mom and to see her grow and change from a little girl to a young lady. She is so kind and loving to everyone and has a very tender heart. I so enjoy being her mom and I hope she knows how much I love her.

Is she the next American Idol?

So our little Savannah is quite the singer - Always has been, probably always will be. If American Idol is still going when she hits 16 she may just think about trying out. I'm not sure however if the judges will rant and rave over her own made up lyrics like they did with Todrick Hall at his audition or her rendition of songs like they did with Andrew Garcia's Paula Abdul song. But one thing is for sure...she keeps me giggling. Her top 2 hits of the week are (now mind you they are being sung in a high pitched 3 year old voice) Drumroll please.......

1. Jersey, Please Don't Poop on the Floor

Jersey please don't poop on the floor on the floor. Jersey please don't poop on the floor anymore. Because mom will sure be mad. Don't poop on the floor, don't poop on the floor, don't poop on the floor no more.

**I'm not sure why she even sings this song because Jersey doesn't poop on the floor - but it made me giggle because she was so serious when she was singing it.

2. Easton Calm Down

Easton, baby Easton, calm down calm down. Easton, little Easton, please don't cry. Calm Down. Calm Down. Easton did you hear me - calm down.

**So you would think she would sing this song when he was crying...Nope... just out of the blue as he is staring at her with his big blue eyes and look of curiosity.

The best part of all the performances and songs is she ends most of them by bowing and saying "Thank you, Thank you, I am Hannah Montanna.

So like I mentioned don't be surprised 13 years from now when you see a spunky blue eyed 16 year old from Utah trying to be the next American Idol!

Easton has hair!!

My mom and dad are gone to Arizona for the winter and the big question she keeps asking me is..."Is Easton getting hair?" Now when he was born he definitely wasn't a baldy but he only had the sweet chicken fuzz hair. So now that his hair is really coming in I thought I should post some pics for my mom and dad to see.
