Family is great

We went swimming today and Sarah came with the kids. We all enjoyed ice cream together and I got this cute picture of Hope. I should have got the finished product- she had chocolate syrup all over her face- all the way to her forehead and her dress had lines of it all the way down the front of her! She is such a beautiful girl- and quite the personality!

We're Home!

We drove through the middle of the night to get home (to maximize sleep time in the car for Savannah). So she woke up the next morning in her own bed. Boy was she excited! She was smiling and talking away when she woke up. She was Incredibly happy for the next 2 days. Now I think she is a little bored- there is not nearly as much action going on here as there was on our trips. And Daddy is not here with us 24/7 which she loved. Nobody can get her to be so excited as Daddy- and he doesn't even have to try, just when he walks into the room she starts kicking her legs and smiling and laughing. So in love with Daddy!

Panaca, NV - tiny town, big reunion

We had a family reunion in Panaca, Nevada. It was great to see all of the family and we enjoyed family history, visiting family members in the cemetery, dutch oven cookouts, games and races, pig chases, a talent show, the grand canyon of Nevada, oh and Savannah LOVED shaved ice. She couldn't get enough of it. There will be more pictures to come- I have to get my mom to send me some of the good ones she took! But the trip was great. Surprisingly Savannah did GREAT on the trips. She really thrives on keeping entertained and with so many new places and people she was happy.

Las Vegas

We enjoyed Las Vegas for the most part... It is not a very 'clean' place, but it was cool to see the strip at night with all the lights, we were able to see Mike and Mandy (picture to come- Christian still hasn't downloaded the pictures from his iPhone) we saw Hoover Dam (which was probably the highlight), ate out, saw a show and had fun being with Jared, Sarah and the kids. Mary, Sarah's sister came along too but ended up flying home with food poisoning which was really horrible. We were sorry her trip was ruined! On the way out of town to drive to Panaca, NV we stopped by the temple. It was under construction, but it was nice to go see. Christian says he doesn't think we will ever go back- unless we have to, but it was overall pretty enjoyable.

We love Tahoe!

Mom and Dad took all of us to Tahoe, these are some of the pictures we got. I know my mom got a lot of good ones I will have to post too but these are a start. We did everything from cruises on the lake, hiking, tennis, biking, swimming... You name it, we probably did it.... Oh and who can forget the incredible food we had! 5 star~ and the condo~ 5 star!.... Except when we got stuck in the elevator! But it was an incredible trip. Thanks mom and dad! ....How do you do it dad?! :-)

Love At First Bite- First Teething Biscuit

I was trying to finish a sewing project that has to be done by tonight but couldn't get anything done with Savannah except when she naps (and those are getting less and less frequent and long!) All the sudden 'teething biscuit' came to mind. So I sat her in her chair and handed it too her. She was so excited and couldn't get enough of it. She ate the whole thing! The mess it made was a little more than I bargained for though because I spent quite some time cleaning up biscuit off of every where within a 5 ft radius of Savannah! It was worth it though!

Fun with Hope and Bryce

Hope and Bryce came over while Sarah went to her checkup. We danced, sang, played out on the patio, read books... You name it! Hope loves Savannah and held hands with her, pet her head and talked to her. Bryce loves her too... He smacked her legs and screamed at her. So cute! I think you can tell the family resemblance too. Such beautiful girls and adorable Bryce!

4th of July fun!

We spent the 4th of July up at my parents house having a BBQ with lots of family. Christian's family came and Sarah's family came, family from Reno, we even had Selena, Jessie, Henry and Mari come! Grandma Cox made all the little girls- and herself matching outfits from 4th of July print. So cute! Savannah somewhat enjoyed the pool- she really just likes to be outside but she looks adorable in her bathing suit. It was a great day with great food and great memories. Happy Independence Day!
