PUmPkiN pAiNtiNg

For family home evening tonight we each painted a pumpkin.  Jeremy painted an evil pumpkin, I painted a witch and Savannah kept changing what hers was. I think the last thing she said was a pretty girl.  We had a fun time trying to be artist while painting our pumpkins.  We love Halloween time.  It is the perfect time of year, the leaves changing, the weather cooling off, lots of treats, and the start of the best holidays.

I love to see the Temple...

We came down this weekend to Saint George for our nephew's wedding. Every time we would drive somewhere and she would see the Temple she would say I want to go to the Temple. So after the wedding we drove over to the Temple and let Savannah walk around the Temple. She loved it! She sat on the stairs of the Saint George Temple singing, "I love to see the Temple". It was so sweet I will always remember it. She was pretty upset that she couldn't go inside. She said she wanted to go see Jesus. It was such a fun time letting her climb up and down the stairs of the temple. She loves going to the temple and hopefully one day she will be able to go inside. Love you Savannah.

What do birds eat?

Well according to Savannah, they eat fruit snacks and rocks. We hiked up to White Rock amphitheater where Jeremy proposed to me seven years ago. On the way up the trail there was a bird squawking and circling in the sky. Jeremy asked Savannah what do birds eat? And that was her answer, fruit snacks and rocks. She loved playing in all the sand and rocks. She told us that the mountain was a baby mountain.

Tomorrow Disneyland?

Last night while trying to go to sleep. Savannah tells me, "Maybe tomorrow we will go to Disneyland, okay mommy". It has been two months since we went to Disneyland and she talks about it every day. She is always saying "Maybe tomorrow we will go to Disneyland" and she says it the same way every time. But something about last night as she was laying in her bed it was the saddest thing because I knew we would not be going to Disneyland tomorrow. She had the best time at Disneyland and I know it will be a couple of years before we make it back. It just breaks my heart when my little girls dreams don't come true!

My little fairy

Savannah has been playing in her tutu and fairy wings today and dancing around the house. A few minutes ago I noticed it was extremely to quiet for Savannah to be around. I went into the loft and found her cuddled up on a couch pillow asleep. She feel asleep while watching the Doodlebops. She is my little fairy and I love her so so much!

First Time Riding a Horse

On Friday I took Savannah to ride horses. It was her first time and so I was not sure if she would like it or be totally scared. She looked at the horse and started giggling and talking to the horse. She was so cute and so brave. She had a blast. She even got to walk with the horse and help put the horses away. When we left she told me "I will come back another time and ride the horse". She is my little rock! I love her so much she is so brave and always comforts me when I need comforting. If I am not feeling good she always tells me it's okay Mommy and gives me kisses. I was scared to be on the horse but I will definitely do it again for Savannah.

Thank you for chicken nuggets?

So last night I was saying prayers with Savannah before bed and I always help her say things she is thankful for. I said thank you for mommy, thank you for daddy... and then she starts going off. "Thank you for chicken nuggets. I love chicken. Thank you for McDonalds." Jeremy and I could not keep it in, we cracked up laughing! Savannah we love you!
