Our Summer.....Part 1

2011-08-19T18:49:00.000-07:00

To kick start the summer Savannah had to go swimming. She is becoming quite the swimmer. We took Savannah to the Aquarium, where we had lunch and met Sharkey. She touched a Sting Ray, Starfish, and a Crab. She loved it. For the 4th of July weekend we went to the Rockies Game. The highlight of the night was the fireworks display. Then we enjoyed another display on the 4th at Westminster City park. Savannah enjoyed every minute.

Block Party

2011-06-17T19:37:00.001-07:00

As we got there Savannah went right to the play ground. She found a classmate. The rest of the night they were inseparable. The block party was kindof disappointing, there was no bbq. There was a band playing some cool tunes. Westminster Fire department had rides on the Fire Truck. That was the highlight of the night. Savannah and I waited for our turn. She loved the ride. Then we headed home.

Past year.....

2011-06-16T11:40:00.000-07:00

Wow can't believe it's been almost a year since the last post. Time does fly and a lot has happened. First we have been potty training Savannah like crazy. But she was having a hard time with doing number 2 in the toilet. In September got to spend time with family for Libby's first birthday. October, we had a new neice born named Jazlin. In November Savannah got to go to her first CU football game. Before the game started we went down to the field and meet Ralphie the buffaloe. She really loved that. Instead of watching the game, she was to busy talking to people around us and going up and down the stairs. But we still had fun. Now the holidays, and still potty training Savannah. We spend Thanksgiving in Kansas and Christmas in Utah. It was so go to see family. When the new year approached we were hard on Savannah on the training. Just so that we can put her in school. Then that day came, FINALLY. For her 4th birthday this year we had a bowling party. She had a great day with family and friends. She almost got a strike. So in April she started school, class of 2025 has commenced. She loves it. So we put her in summer camp.

July 4th

2010-07-12T23:05:00.001-07:00

It was great having family visit for the 4th. We had a weekend planned of activities. We went swimming on Saturday, which Donovan and Destiny didn't do to bad, watched a movie. Then Sunday the 4th we spent most of the day at the park, which the kids loved. We had a day planned of things to do but, the weather didn't hold up. So we had our bbq indoors while watching the Colorado Rapids on tv. Got carried away with the soccer game that we missed the fireworks. As we were coming back from the city park, we saw some going off. So we sat and watch the fireworks in our cars, since it was raining. As Savannah fell asleep, David and I watched the fireworks. Then came home and watched a movie. Knowing the rain put a downer on things I hope you all had a great weekend.

Take me out to the ball game!!!!

Time sure does fly. Can't believe the last time I was on was Savannah's birthday. Since then, in May, Savannah was sick. She had a temp between 99.2 and 102 that she couldn't shake off. It lasted about a week. Called her pedi but, he was full so got an appointment with the new Doctor. Told him her symptoms. He also checked her ears and throat. Which her throat was slightly red. So he was treating it like she had mono. Also before we left he wanted to do a blood draw on her. As a precausion. Which she didn't cry one bit. I was so proud of her. As we were leaving the Dr. office the nurse gave her a sticker and a sucker....well she grabbed two of each. I did take a picture but, Savannah has dropped the laptop and now the disc drive doesn't work. So I can't browse the cd of the picture. Then a week later, got the call from the Doctor saying her lab work came back nothing wrong.

Then in June we went to a Rockies game. Where it rained off and on all day. But Savannah was such a trooper she didn't mind the rain. She kept on cheering. Thanks dad for the tickets.

Part 2...The Zoo

2010-04-14T15:21:00.000-07:00

Will we spend the whole day at the zoo. It was a beautiful day. She loved the monkeys, penquins (even though they were sleeping), Zebra's, Hippos, Lions. I think because of the movie Madagascar. Then she was getting tired when she said "ok next one". But we actually went through the whole zoo.

Happy 3rd Birthday!!!

2010-03-18T14:27:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday Savannah!! Will her first present was from G&G Linares and Uncle Nicholas. She noticed the package was of Mickey Mouse. That when we got home she wanted to open it. She loved the dress that she had to put it on. So she stripped and put the dress on. She looked so cute. Thank you G&G Linares and Uncle Nicholas. Her day started with a movie, Snow White. Since it was a nice day we spend the afternoon at the park. You are getting to be such a dare devil. Trying new things out, and you don't give up. Love the fact that you always make friends. As we wait for dad to get off work. She took a power nap. Noticed we picked up dad. She woke up and said "go to store now"! As we were going down the rows in the toy department. She kept adding more and more toys in the cart. Trying to tell her to just pick two. She had a cow when we started putting away some of the toys. When she wasn't looking we would put some of the toys away as we would go get some groceries. She ended up with a ball and a princess tot bag with hair styling things. I just love how you are doing more and more things on your own.....Miss Independent. Love the fact that you always want to be read to. Love how you copy every word when I read to you. Part 2 this weekend at the Zoo. To be continued.......

CHRISTMAS

2010-01-21T21:25:00.000-08:00

Wow, it's hard to believe that the holidays came and went. But we sure did miss the rest of our family. We did have a nice Christmas. Savannah woke up early and was very determined to open her presents. As we waited for Eddie and Areli (brother-in-law and sister-in-law). We had breakfast. About the time the kids were done with breakfast Eddie and Areli showed up. Then it was time to open the presents. Savannah was in heaven, she didn't know which one to open first. As she opened one she said "Wow look at this". Then put it aside and started with another one. She would finish one and go right to the next one. Then when there was no more to open. She would help mommy and daddy with theirs. She really liked her gifts thanks everyone. As we were coming home I was thinking where are we going to put her toys. But I put up the babyish toys and stored them in the closet. When I was doing this I felt sad. How my baby girl is a toddler now and growing so wonderfully.

Pottie Training.......

2009-12-09T19:09:00.000-08:00

We have tried to pottie train Savannah back in September. She would think it was a game and would get up and down off the toilet. So we held off on the pottie training until now. For about a week now we have been pottie training Savannah. I thought it was going to take an arm and a leg to get her to go pottie but, really she isn't doing to bad. We are very proud of her. For some kids they probably want to read a book. As for Savannah, she rather color.

HALLOWEEN

2009-11-02T12:01:00.000-08:00

Our Halloween started with a quick trip to Utah. For baby Libby's blessing on Sunday. On our way there, we got held up between Cheyenne and Laramie. I have never seen so many semi's in my life. It took us 1 hr to get from Cheyenne to Laramie, when it only takes us 25 minutes. Then when we reached Green River, knowing we were in a pocket of semi's and going like 60 miles an hour. A semi drifted into our lane and as I honked my horn so many times and as long the driver made me spin out in the median, Dodging two poles. As I got control of the vehicle thinking we could have rolled. Sped up to the driver. Waiting for him to move over to the right lane. So that I can give him a peice of my mind. As I was passing the driver, looked up at him he was smiling. David did give him a peice of his mind. Needless to say, we got to Utah just giving Savannah enough time to trick or treat. Savannah had a great time trick or treating and playing with Cameron. At the luncheon all she wanted to eat was chips and cookies. I like to thank Heavenly Father for sparing our lives. The ride home was much better.

Savannah

2009-10-22T14:25:00.000-07:00

I can't believe how Savannah is growing. She amazes me everyday. Every morning she will climb up on the counter, in the bathroom, and imitate me when I'm getting ready. I just love when she dresses herself. It's like her dad had dressed her, but yet she rather have all her clothes on at the same time. She loves to read or being read to. Again she will imitate some of the words and read'em to her stuffed bears. When she does this I wish I had my camera out. But when I do have it out. I try to sneek to get a picture, but everytime I get too close she stops and does somthing else. When she was a baby I would wonder what her favorite toy or stuffed animal would be. Lately, for the past month it has been the stuffed bear that her grandma Shockey bought her when we went camping last August. She carryies that everywhere we go. Even to church. She loves to go to the park. She takes her green soccer ball every time. When we are there I try to help her go down the slide. She always wants to do it herself. She is getting to be an independent person. She also loves to help out with chores: putting the dishes away, laundry and helps putting away her toys. No 2 year old I know would probably do that. Knowing David and I call each other "babe". When she is trying to get our attention she will call us "babe". It's just hilarious. Our resent trip to Utah. Savannah got to meet Isabel and Libby. I was excited to see how Savannah and Isabel interact with each other. Will Savannah was little hard on Izzy. Wanted to wrestle with her. Had to keep telling Savannah to be gentle. But I guess she gets that at daycare. Her babysitter watches her grandson once or twice a week. Plus, she has 2 other sons that are home and play with her too and David....will there you go. You see where she gets the harshness from. Then I hear " she needs a brother" alot. Maybe that will be child number 2. Anyways, the two cousins were cute together. She loved Libby given her kisses and telling her go to sleep, night, love you. Like she does when we go to bed. She adores Cameron. Always wants to know where Cameron is.

Check Up!!

2009-08-09T10:42:00.000-07:00

Our baby girl is getting big. On August 5th Savannah had her check up. It was one of the best ones. Again, when the Dr. came in she went up to him and sat on his lap. Then she went right to the basket of books and sat in the chair to read a book. As Dr. and I chatted for a bit he noticed how talkative she is and that her vocab is getting longer. She is doing well in her development. Also that she is a healthy active girl. She is now 25.4 LBS and 36.4 in height. When the nurse came in to give her shot. She wasn't ready because she wasn't done reading the book. When the nurse was ready, which she only had to get one shot this time, got Savannah ready. When the nurse stuck her with the needle, Savannah was about to cry but didn't. She was a big girl. So the Dr. gave her a sucker and a sticker. She didn't want the sticker she wanted another sucker.

Easter

2009-04-13T13:56:00.000-07:00

Hope everyone had a great Easter. We had to have our Easter egg hunt inside because it was a rainy day. Savannah had a fun time looking for them in the house. At the end she had some chocolate eggs with the wrapper still on....silly your suppose to take the wrapper off!! Also she couldn't get the concept of easily putting the eggs carefully in her basket. She through them in the basket:) as they all cracked.

Happy 2nd Birthday!!

2009-03-16T13:51:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Savannah, Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to our sweet, active girl. No two parents couldn't ask for anything more. We can't believe you are 2. The past 2 years have gone by fast. And am excited for the next. To see how you develop and corrispond to new words. And your ability to do more things for yourself. And how you are learning your ABC's and 123's. This picture was taken today to show off her new birthday outfit. Yes the date is wrong, I know. I wanted to wake her up at 12:04am to sing happy birthday, but David wouldn't let me. Knowing she wouldn't know what is going on. So I guess I will do it when she gets alittle older. Well we love you and "Happy Birthday". Love, Mom and Dad

Panic Attack!!

2009-03-08T23:02:00.000-07:00

As for Brandie, I also had a panic attack. Also I don't know if I should tell, so here it goes...last month, a Tuesday afternoon, I had the day off. So instead of waiting for David to get off of work to go to the store. Savannah and I did. We also went to two other places before we headed back home. So we got home, getting her out of the car, carrying the groceries in and the mail. She was taken her time up the steps to the apartment. When we got in the apartment I dropped everything in my hands and started to put things away. (By now your probably sayin what happened). Well I'm getting there. Noticed Savannah had the car keys. She was running from me, like she always does when she is in trouble or she doesn't want us to get what is in her hand. As I checked the car she had opened the latch(the glass). So I grabbed the keys from her. At this time David had called so I was talking to him while I went downstaires to shut the latch. As Savannah was watching me from the window. This took about a minute. As I came back up, closed the door behind me, still on the phone with David. Yelling for Savannah cause she wasn't standing at the window. Thinking she was hideing somewhere in the apartment, cause she loves to play hide and seek, as I was looking at a few of her favorite spots. Starting to panic....when I got a knock at the door. Telling David to hold on cause there was a someone at the door. Well it was our neighbor with.......Savannah. All I could do was to thank him. Somehow she had opened the door and went to the other set of stairs where he had found her. So that is my panic story.

2009-01-06T13:28:00.000-08:00

For those of you who wasn't able to see Savannah imitate David at Christmas I took a picture for you. This is one of the times she does this. The other picture I thought was really cute that I had to share.

Christmas in Utah

2009-01-06T12:29:00.000-08:00

As we were watching the news for the weather the week of Christmas. We were hoping it would be decent. So we can go to Utah. Well sure enough we had good weather and clear roads. As we got to Park City it started to snow, alittle flurries but, not bad. When we woke up Christmas Day to find.... a white out. The snow storm that dad was talking about had come and we made it to Utah just in time. What a blessing it was to be home for Chritmas. First picture Savannah going down the stairs grandpa helping her as she had to go one step at a time. The next two Savannah opening her presents as Jared helps her. The last picture, Savannah exploring the house in between opening presents. Also Savannah enjoyed playing with her cousin Cameron and Jared and McCall dog Cooper. We had a great time. It went by so fast that it was hard to leave. I wanted to stay a few more days. Oh well i guess we have to get back to work.

SiLlY sAvAnNaH!!!

2008-12-17T12:12:00.000-08:00

Our baby girl turned 21 months yesterday and is growing fast. She is learning more words and putting them in small sentences. She loves to copy David, play hide and seek, color, climb on top of the couch and wrestle with David when he gets home from work. She also likes to go to the babysitters and play with her friends. Of course, she loves playing with her toys and taking care of her teddy bears...she feeds them and tucks them into bed. Now when she needs to be changed she will let us know by saying poop or holding her nose. As I change her she helps by wipping herself. So I guess it's safe to start training her. These pictures shows how silly she can get. The top one she loves to stuff her bloks down her shirt. The next two I had to take because it remind me of Jared and the crayons in his toes. The last picture will we were trying to have Savannah "What does a monkey say"? for mom and dad when they where here. But she wouldn't do it. So that Sunday she finally did it. Sorry mom and dad!!

College Graduation!!

2008-11-16T10:39:00.000-08:00

As I was getting ready for this day. I really didn't have time to clean all week. So I had to do it all day Friday. And of course Savannah wanted to help, but she would go behind me and make a mess. Of course I had to order my own cake. J/K. As I was picking it up it was about time to go. I had to be there at 5:30. Me and a few friends were watching people arrive. When I saw mom and dad walk in. I ran downstairs to give them a big hug. I was about to cry because I missed them so much. They told me that David and his parents were leaving 15 to 7:00. Well I used dad's phone to give David a call no answer. So I called his mom's cell phone no answer. So after calling a few more times. I was told to line up. Dad finally got a hold of David. Well as we were lined up at the door to go in the sanctuary of the church. Guess who shows up....you guessed it David, Savannah and his parents. I was the fifth person in line so they missed me walking in. Thank you for those who made it. You made my day. Those who couldn't make it...Hilary/Collin/Cameron, Josh/Brandie/Isabel, Jared/McCall, Nicholas, Mike/Amy and kids, Eddie/Areli, Bryan/Ashley, Brenda/Brian and kids, Ernie/Keri and girls. You were missed.

2008-10-28T16:19:00.001-07:00

Sorry everyone that it took so long to update our Blog. It's been caos around here. Then the laptop crashed and lost alot of pictures. You can't rely on anything. Also I am done with school. You would think that I have alot of free time on my hands but, I really don't. Savannah is growing alot. She is learning more and more words to her vocabulary. Her babysitter has taught her some sign language. At 18 months she did a summersault. The expression on her face showed what just happened. She loves building with her Mega Bloks, helping me with laundry, and unload the dishes from the dishwasher. She climbs on the furniture until she reaches the top and can't go any further. Then she will just sit there. She now is undressing herself. Then she tries to dress herslf. She keeps us on our toes.
