another tag.

the letter T. in this tag i am to write down ten things i love that start with the letter T.

1-Teaching. I absolutely love it. despite the politics and the budget cuts that we are about to endure, I love the kids, and that my friends is what is it all about. their success.

2-Tacos. a major passion of mine. I can make them about 10 different ways.. just ask my hubby who doesn't have the same passion. :0)

3-Tap Dancing. okay.. so i haven't done this in a few years, but as a kid and teenager. I loved it.

4-time alone. this doesn't happen very often.. okay if ever, but even 10 minutes sometimes is all i need to rejuvinate, but time alone to scrapbook. that would be...oh words can not express.

5-temples. I love going to the temple, driving by the temple, and just the amazing beauty that they have. just love it.

6-talking. I am a major jabber jaws. I talk when i should be working. I love public speaking. talk talk talk..so look out. :0)

7-temper tantrums... savannah style. it's just too funny. the pouty lip, the folded arms. way too cute.

8-tetons.. or just the mountains in general, but tetons started with T. :0) I have been to the top of the tetons, and it's amazing and georgous, but I love the mountains regardless. the smell when you wake up in the morning after camping.. mmmm.

9-tub time.. for savannah. she loves it and love watching and playing with her while she has so much fun. what i love most.. her daddy is the one who usually bathes her, so i have a half hour to clean up, relax or do whatever i please. delightful.

10-Trying times. I don't love them, but I am thankful for them. I'm thankful that they remind you of what is truly important in life and that they bring you closer to the ones you love.

Now it's my turn, I tag. Jennifer H. with the letter B, Sherie C. with the letter M.
and Tiffany S. with the letter N. Have fun.

let it snow

miss. savannah isn't too sure about the snow, but for her birthday aunt jamie and uncle jon jon got her this way cute snow outfit, which thank heavens they bought a size too big so we will actually get some use out of it next winter, but i decided to at least 'dress her up" in it and take a few pictures last weekend.
although she wasn't too sure about the snow or the outfit, she loved laying in the wagon and going for a ride.
ya gotta love a baby all bundle up in winter gear with pink cheeks.




an obsession





this obsession of savannah's isn't new..just continual. she LOVES the remote, and quite often points it at the tv and pushes buttons, waiting for it to do something. sometimes i think.. ut oh.. are we watching too much tv...especially since she knows when all of her favorite shows are on. mickey mouse clubhouse. my friends tigger and pooh and especially sesame street..i think it also comes with winter.. in the summer we are outside and gone so much our tv never gets used. all and all i think it's a funny and delightful obsession... sometimes. :0)
excuse the pictures (lighting was BAD)
