Always Listening

Just a quick post about my funny girl.

Several nights in the past two weeks Savannah has had a hard time falling asleep. She will call me an hour after bedtime and tell me she is tired, but just can't sleep.

Currently I am playing on Pinterest while she watches TV;). She just walked up to me and said, "Mom, I need Unisom. That's cause I can't sleep."

Why do they put commercials on Sprout?

Super girl

I wish you could see my stinkin' cute girl right now! She is showing me how she stops people and gets her powers. I don't know where she comes up with this stuff, but I love it!

Here she is a few days ago when she started being "super". She walked in the kitchen and showed me her super shoes, super dress, super bow and super ring. Her super power is being able to help people who are trapped. She just points her ring at the trap and melts it. Wow!

Earlier today she showed me some yarn and said she was making ballet shoes. A few minutes ago she came in dressed as a ballerina. This is what she said, "K, the most important part of a ballerina is a) these shoes. The next most important thing is b) these - pointing to the strings. Next is c) this tutu. Then it's b, no d) this - pointing to her leotard." She actually prioritized the parts of her outfit with a,b,c and d! (When I tell her why she can't do/have something I often give her reasons a and b.) Such a funny girl!

I will leave you with this peak into her imagination. You may remember "ducky", the rock from Lava Hot Springs. He has been joined by "black", a rock she found in Laughlin this weekend. And this surfboard/comb is actually a DS! She has carried it around for almost a week pretending to play games on it. I don't see the need to ever buy her another toy, but she asked to go to DI today to get another one. Maybe tomorrow.

Hope you find something to laugh about today!

Treasure Hunting

Savannah loves treasure hunting at the DI with me. (Maybe not this week when we got separated and I heard my name being called over the speaker. Oops! Jer was not happy.) She picked out this lovely neon pony and paid for it with her own money. She loves it!

Now for a little story about the scriptures she is holding. Last Fast Sunday we sat on the second row. After two little boys bore their testimonies, Savannah asked when it would be her turn. I asked her what she would say if she went up there. "I know the church is true. I love the scriptures. And I'll think of some other words." Two seconds later she goes up all by herself! After a few sentences I had to stand up and help her. After the usual I love my family and am thankful for my teacher, I am ready for her to be done. She adds, "I am thankful for the scriptures and I know someday I'll have some of my own because I don't have any yet." Of course I hear laughter from the crowd.

Fast forward to the following Wednesday when we help a lady in the ward get rid of some stuff. In a box of books we find this brand new, still in the plastic, triple combination. Savannah was so excited! She came home and immediately wrote her name on the cover and asked for a bookmark. She asks me to read them and plays like she is reading them to her stuffed animals. What a good lesson for her on bearing her testimony! I think I will just learn that lesson from her instead of trying it out myself:)

Where have you been???

In random order...

Tubing at Lake Powell

Trying to train a puppy -

it's a good thing he's so cute!

Having a Fourth of July waterfight

Visiting Disneyland way back in April -

in a cute shirt and cardigan I left at the hotel never to be seen again:(

Driving by Tropic Reservoir -

on a 30-mile quad ride on my own quad!

Sightseeing at Bryce Canyon

Enjoying a good book in the shaded part of the garden -

(Barbie Secret of the Rainbow she had to have from at the DI.)

Lots of crafting -

for her, not me.

We just hooked up our new computer and it is super fast.

Maybe I'll post a little more often.

Maybe.

Last week we went on a field trip to the fire station with Savannah's preschool. I think I liked it more than she did, although she was impressed that they had four fridges. The firemen were very nice, but she didn't want anything to do with firefighter Les once he got all his gear on. Can you believe how big those tires are?!

And here is my little farmer with her first home-grown strawberry! (The plant had green fruit on it when we bought it, but since it ripened in our garden, I call it home-grown). Savannah dressed herself in this outfit and asked if she looked like a farmer. Everyone at the farm and Home Depot thought she looked adorable.

And now I am off for a Diet Coke and a treat!

Poor baby!

Here is a little update just so you have something new to look at.

Isn't Savannah the most pathetic looking thing ever? She had a fever and a cough from Thursday to Sunday, so I took her to the urgent care clinic. Turns out she has bronchitis and an ear infection. Her oxygen levels were low so they gave her a breathing treatment. I sent Jer a pic without an explanation and he freaked out! Amazingly, her fever is gone now, but getting her to take medicine three times a day is a pain.

This beauty cheers us both up! I had Steve hang this chandelier while they were in town last week. Don't mind the pink background - her bedspread is rather bright and makes the whole room glow!

We are taking reservations. We are going to Disneyland April 9-15 (you're just jealous!) and Holly has already spoken for Easter weekend. Call and book your getaway today!

Just like Dad

How cute does she look in her little robe and slippers?! The slippers are too big, but she loves them so she wears them with socks and I tape them on! She sleeps in them so her feet won't get cold when she goes to the bathroom. Smart thinking!!

See that paper airplane she's holding? Jer made that on Monday and she plays with it every day. It flies way better than the ones I make.
This is a cute book we checked out from the library. Jeremy hadn't seen it so Savannah decided to show it to him. "Dad look at this funny book. It's called Those Damn Birds!" Wonder where she gets that from? I thought Jeremy might pee his pants he laughed so hard.

If you look closely you'll see my pretty flowers in the background. Jer surprised me with them earlier in the week. He also got some pink ones for Annie. She was so excited. Super sweet!
