Washers?

So I never knew there was a game called washers. Last night we went to the Beans house and we roasted hotdogs over a a fire pit that Josh built and we also played a game of washers. Every July 24th their family has a washers tournament. They have been trying to practice so they can beat the rest of their family. So anyways it was fun, you throw these huge washers and try to make them in three different holes. But if the person after you makes it in the same hole then you lose your points. Anyways Jeremy and I were on a team and we lost. I was not a lot of help until at the very end. (If you can even call that help) I finally started to learn how I needed to toss the washer so that it "might" go in the hole. Livi took all the little ones for a "wild" ride in her Barbie jeep (those things go faster than I thought). Anyways it was a great time the kids loved it and we had a blast!

I need to be better at this but just not enough time!

So I feel very incompitant when it comes to blogging. Mostly because I have not taken the time to really figure out how to do it. Sometimes I feel like this stuff just takes up to much time and I don't know if it is worth it. Especially since I don't really have people look at my blog, mostly because I am ebarrassed to. But I keep saying that I am doing it so I can keep a journal of the things that our family does. When Savannah was born I started righting her a journal so she can read it later on in life. But now I don't write in mine because I barely find enough time to write in Savannah's. Each time Vannah hits a milestone (6 mo, 1 yr, etc) I write up a letter about what she is doing at that time of her life. Except this year she turned two and it took me a couple of weeks to sit down and finally write it. So last night I stayed up late writing it and I hit save and quit instead of just save. I went back in there to print it off and it was not there! I was devastated! Mostly I think because I was so tired and I thought that I wrote this great letter and when I went to start over I could not remember anything that I wrote. (I am sure the time had something to do with it.) Anyways so I now have her letter ready to be mailed out to family and friends. I feel it is not has good has the first one I made but it will do. Another thing that I HAVE to do is sit down and scrapbook! I used to love to do it and now with Savannah it is hard to get the paper, etc. out to scrapbook. So last October I started digital scrap booking. It is nice because it does not make a mess. I have started so many times on Savannah's scrapbooks online but then I change my mind of what I want it to look like and start over. I just need to do it because if I keep changing them trying to make them perfect I will not end up with even one book. So if you see me ask me if I have done any scrap booking. Maybe it will help motivate myself!

This last week my sister Elizabeth was in town. We took the girls to feed the ducks at the duck pond. Savannah loved it but she would scare me because she wanted to go right up to the ducks and I was not sure what they would do. Makayla was enjoying watching them but was not into feeding them. She ate the bread she was supposed to give to the ducks. Ava loved it but she wanted to get right up to the water for some close action. We tried to get some picture of them but of course they did not want anything to do with it. I miss the days when I could just sit Savannah down and she would willingly smile for the camera. I can not ever get her to look at the camera these days unless I take her to get them professionally done then she loves to work the camera.

Our Little Princess Turns Two!

Savannah is now two years old. We can not believe how fast this last year went. She is such a fun little girl. She is very into girly things like dresses, baby dolls, princess stuff and shoes. But she also loves to get dirty, balls, the outdoors, fixing things and wrestling. She is a well rounded little girl. After Christmas I started thinking about what kind of party to do for Savannah and I had a few that I thought she would have fun with. Her daddy decided that a princess party would be best since she is his little princess. Good call, Jeremy. That same week we decided what kind of party she started to be obsessed with Cinderella. Since then she has learned to love Belle, Sleeping Beauty and Ariel. But I still think her favorite is Cinderella. With everyone's help last weekend I was able to throw her a beautiful princess party. The morning of the party she woke up and came downstairs, she saw all the decorations. I heard her say to Ava, my mom is building a princess castle! She was so excited. We played put Cinderella in her castle (pin the tail on the donkey), pass Cinderella's glass slipper (a version of musical chairs) and we had a pinata. I hope that Savannah loved it and I look forward to next years party.
P.S. Thanks everyone for all your help, especially Jeremy for your babysitting services :)

The past few months...

It has been a long time since I have posted anything. But I figured it is okay since no one really reads my blogs. I am doing this more for myself so I can keep up with what we have done throughout the year.

Well to start with Valentine's and St. Patrick's day. For Valentines Jeremy got me a spa gift card. I get a hour massage, pedicure, manicure and a facial. I have not had the chance to go and do that yet but I look forward to it in the future. I love massages! I decorated Jeremy's office and brought him his favorite food for lunch. Which is a Fudruckers hamburgers. I also got him a new ipod since we some how lost his last one with the move. It is tradition that Savannah and I go and get our picture done on Valentines for Jeremy to put in his office. Well it is a new tradition since she is only two years old, but we have been doing it since she was born. Savannah got a little heart with candy and some Valentines books and coloring books. She missed her Valentines party at school and so they made her a bag. When she got it she was so excited to go through it. She did not really care for the cards but loved the candy! For Saint Patrick's Day Savannah and I wore our green shirts. Since Jeremy couldn't wear a green shirt to work I made him a cheesy shamrock to wear on his suit.

Since around Christmas time Savannah has really got into princesses. So we started planning her a princess birthday. It is coming up this week and I am so excited for her to see everything she will love it!

In March we went to Disney on Ice and Savannah absolutly loved it! She kept reaching out her arms wanting to hold Minnie Mouse. She kept putting her hands over her mouth in shock. It was great to see her have that much fun.

Last weekend was Easter and the weather was not the best. It was rainy and cold. Savannah was not feeling very good so she was not into it much. She did enjoy opening all the eggs and finding out that each one had candy in it. She had way too much candy last weekend.

I need to get better at this whole blog thing, hopefully it is not to boring.
