check it out.. i updated the blog. there are four new posts below.. expect more this week. yeah!!!

cutting hair.

savannah cut her own hair this week. it's my own fault, sissors were left within her reach, but I think she did me a favor. I was trying, debating and putting off cutting her hair shorter, and now it's short. a short a-line bob. sooo cute.
p.s. you'd think from the past few posts that my child is always "nakie" well.. it's summer and you know how it goes. she thinks its fun, so i hope you don't mind. :0)

potty trained

i'm not going to lie..this was the EASIEST thing we have done so far, easier than taking the bottle away, easier than getting her to sleep in her toddler bed all night, and easier than thinking about taking the binks away. (thats next one the list or she'll be in kindergarten with it :0))
savannah loves her princess potty in fact she cried for it, and has been fairly easy to potty train. oh and she loves stickers, so putting a sticker on the potty chart was the best reward.

dancing girl

savannah loves to dance and since she's been potty trained, she loves to dance nakie as she calls it. she runs around the house in her panties and tu-tu for hours dancing. so cute. and great blackmail for when she's sixteen don't you think.
we sure do love this girl.
just recently a family in our little town lost their 18 month old in a drowning accident. it has really put things in perspective for me. I am so grateful for my little family and my fiesty two year old. We are so blessed. If you want to read more about this family you can go to patrickandashley.blogspot.com. They are amazing. Their faith is solid and they know they will see their sweet girl again. I am so grateful for the gospel and forever families.
i am more grateful for the simple moments and the trying moments with savannah now. I am taking more time with her, and just enjoying being together. life can change in an instant.

sorry it's been so long

alit's been awhile since i've updated the good old blog, our computer's drive has been broken and we finally got it fixed so i can upload pictures again. so expect a few posts this week to get things caught up. our summer has been full of fun stuff.
last weekend we took savannah to the zoo as a reward for being "mostly" potty trained. she loved it, but wanted to see elephants and girafees so... a trip to slc might be in order.

did you know...

did you know you should wear a motorcycle helmet while mowing the lawn???
p.s. my photos won't rotate urgh!!

nearing the end

the end of the school year is almost here for me. 8 days and counting. so if you don't hear from me for a couple of weeks, things are crazy busy. Due to budget cuts our elementary school is being closed down and we are being condensed into 2 schools, therefore my classroom must be completely packed up by monday the 24th. Wahoo.. i hate packing.. but at least i still have a job.
i am super excited to have the summer off and to do all those projects i have piling up. we are also planting grass, putting up a fence, doing flower beds, and building a shop so things should stay pretty busy.
in the next few days i will be posting a few of the projects i'm excited to do.. if you wanna join in. let me know.
oh and any of you who go to playgroups.. let me know when and where.. i'd love to be more involved this summer.

just because...



she's such a cutie.. i can't wait to be at home.
