Our Beautiful Flowers...

YEA!! Our small landscaping project is finally complete. We riped out all of the old, ugly bushes, Joel laid down stone and my parents came and helped me pick out new flowers and plants and plant them. I am so excited. I love it! It makes our house look so much brighter and inviting. Here are some pictures of before and after.

This is the best picture I could find that showed what it looked like before...look behind Savannah and I....all those UGLY bushes!!

Happy Mother's Day

Look at what I received for Mother's Day. It is a pot with Savannah's footprints (her ball of her foot and toes) with pictures as the flowers. I LOVE it! Here are some pictures from Mother's Day at my parents house.

Mother's Day Wicked Weather

Mother Nature decided to throw us some wicked weather this Mother's Day. We had a severe hail storm and tornado that touched down in our city. I have never seen hail like this before. It was VERY scary! Afterwards the children all gathered outside and played in it like it was snow while the adults took pictures and rehashed what just occurred. Look at these pictures!!

Day at the Farm

We took Savannah to Patterson Farm on Saturday. She loved all of the animals! She also enjoyed the Strawberry patch, watching the kids taking pony rides, and especially enjoyed daddy's strawberry milkshake and mommy's mint chip ice cream!

Treasures in the Attic

While I was going through the attic before our yard sale I came across some treasures. Here they are:

My Aunt Debi made this bow holder for me when I was a little girl. I am now passing it down to Savannah to hold all of her bows. Isn't it adorable!

This was also made for me when I was a little girl by my Aunt Debi. It is to hold your shoes. It is so cute!

I am so glad that I found these. They are so special being made with love from my Aunt. They are also adorable and pink which matches Savannah's room perfectly!

Random Weekend Pictures

This weekend was pretty busy. Friday night my mom and niece Sydney came to spend the night and to help with our yard sale that we were having on Saturday, Sunday we spent the afternoon at my aunt's house and Monday my sister-in-law brought her two girls down to play with Savannah. Here are some pictures from all of the fun!

Savannah is 10 Months!

Savannah turned 10 months on April 26th. I can't believe how fast time is passing by. She is really starting to understand and try and communicate with you. She loves to mimic. I will put a cup on top of her head and then she will try and put it on my head (which she thinks is hysterical). Her favorite book is this touch/feel/listen animal book. She just recently will try and Baa when we get to the sheep. It is too funny to hear her! She is starting to be able to stand unassisted for longer periods of time. She thinks it is funny though. She will laugh the whole time until she falls over and I catch her. It is a game to her. I love her little personality that has developed and am amazed at much she is learning and doing each day.
