What a vocabulary!

Me: How about spaghetti for dinner?
Annie: No, that's embarassing.


Annie: Mom, I can fart in my panties, but I can't pee in them. That would be weird.


I will be back to update with pics and such later tonight.

Two steps back...

My lazy parenting has come back to bite me again. I guess Savannah got used to wearing pullups while we were in Salt Lake because now she just goes in her panties wherever she is. Most recently it was in her toy room. I made her sit on the potty while I cleaned it up and after a few minutes she started yelling, "Mom, it wasn't my fault." Where did she learn that?????

I'll be back another time with photos and fun from our trip.

Lake Powell and more

Can you believe I didn't take a single picture while at the family reunion? I guess I tend to forget I have a kid when my sisters are around. I did manage to snap this one of Savannah on the drive home from Salt Lake. Doesn't she look comfy?

We made it back safely from a week at Lake Powell and Annie's not even sunburned! She had such a good time there. All she wanted to do was swim whether anyone else was in the water or not. I'm not sure where her bravery comes from, but it certainly isn't from me.Here we are at Rainbow Bridge which you can just barely see above my head. It was way too hot to make the hike up the trail so we settled for the view from a distance.

It looks like Savannah is going to be a water fanatic just like her dad. Here they are kayaking. Notice the arm Jer made in prosthetic school just for this purpose? This is the first time he's actually used it and it worked great.

Annie also tried riding the waverunner behind the boat with Jeremy. She wasn't concerned when he fell off either. You could barely see the top off her head when they started going faster, but Jeremy said she had a lot of fun.

Brayden and Alex each had their own fishing poles and Savannah wanted to join in the fun. So while we were at Walmart, Jer bought her a princess fishing pole. She was so excited! They actually caught a fish on it which she helped reel in, but she didn't let it get too close.

It was a very relaxing week and fun to watch Savannah enjoying herself so much. Perhaps some of you would like to join us over Labor Day? Maybe we can borrow this boatplane.

Or perhaps you would rather travel by helicopter?

Wouldn't it be nice to have a small taste of how the other half lives? I'm going to start playing the lottery!
