a clean baby

what could be better than a clean baby, in new jammers, with wrinkled toes... around here, not much...these are the moments i always want to remember.

speed demon..aka savannah.

last summer, savannah was in the jefferson county cutest baby contest. she won, for being the "chubbiest" oh the stories we can tell to embarrass her later.... :0)
but she won this sweet leap frog trike, that can be pushed or soon enough have the handle removed and she can learn to ride it.
She LOVES it ,and loves her daddy pushing her all over the house on it, chasing the dog, cat or mamma..
she giggles and laughs so hard sometimes she almost falls off.
she also got this walker for christmas, that she is sometimes permanently attached to. it cracks us up, she is a speed demonon a mission to run over our cat on a daily basis.
we sure do love our doodle bug.

walking...well sort of

miss. savannah is getting better at walking every day. She can walk and hold on to one finger,but just is unsure about doing it on her own. We are getting there. and yes my video is sideways, i don't know how to turn it.

feeling lucky

in honor of st.patricks day, i thought i would just write down a few of the reasons why i feel lucky.

1-i have my health. today at school, we recieved some devistating news as one of our teachers is very ill, and i am so thankful for my good health today.

2-a home and food to eat. in these tough economic times, i am thankful for my home and the food on our table. in a few weeks, nate's job will be coming to an end, as the business officially shuts their doors, and i am just thankful for all that we have.

3-my degree. as mentioned above, we are about to go through some difficult times, and i am so grateful and feel so lucky to have my degree so i can help support my little family.

4-my sweet baby girl. she reminds me everyday how lucky i am and how blessed i am. even though we are starting to have some tantrums.


5- i feel lucky that my mom watches my babe. we have an ideal situation. my mom generously watches my sweet girl while i work. if i didn't have her help, i wouldn't work. ever.

6-our religion, if i didn't know what i know about families and life, I don't know if i would ever think anything was worth it. this world would be a depressing place. I am so grateful for the knowledge i have from being a member of the church.

7-my amazing husband. he is going through some changes right now, from work to going back to school, and he is still the best ever. I am so glad we are together for all eternity.

8- for my abilities and talents. I am grateful and feel lucky for the talents I have.
In my younger years, i was always wanting more, to be like friends and so forth and so forth, but now I am so glad and happy with the ablitites i have. I have been able to use them to help others and my family.

9-i feel lucky that we have modern technology.. yeah for the dishwasher,cameras, washer, computers, shoes and my car.

10- for parents who taught me so well, and who love my baby so very much. i am eternally grateful for them.


happy st.patricks day. hope you all are enjoy corned beef and cabbage and three mint brownies..tonight... yumm-ooh, if not, stop by, there will be left overs

feeling better

i am so glad that savannah is feeling better...two nights of sleeping all night..i'm in heaven, and i probably just jinxed myself.. we will see. too bad her dad now has the crud, and her momma is right on his heels...ewww..
but on a positive note.. I am loving the rainy day. just delightful.
and i took a ton of pictures this weekend, but left my camera at home...so you'll have to wait a little longer aunt becca.

the quiet book of my dreams.

I have been searching for months for a quiet book pattern to make for miss.savannah. I finally found one on etsy.. it is to die for. here is what the pages look like. I have not even started mine, but i am itching to get to work.

these too...

i want to make these as well... just don't know if I'm that talented or patient enough...
