Labor Day Weekend

Grandma Love had all of he grand kids spend the night. They camped out in a tent, and watched movies. Savannah wanted to come back in the house to sleep at bedtime with Xander who, didn't sleep much.
In the morning, everyone came over for breakfast!



We rented a jump on it slide! It was so much fun, and it was huge! Savannah wouldn't go on it though.

Even the grownups joined the fun! The guys kinda teamed up against the girls, so if we didn't hurry up and go down the slide, we'd get pushed down.Court pushed me down a couple of times.


We had snow cones and Kool Aid popcorn!



Savannah loved sitting in her chair with her snow cone and watching everyone go down the slide!

Zoo

Saturday, we went to the Zoo with some friends of ours. It was so much fun!



Xander really loved riding in the wagon!




Only in UTAH, stroller parking!




Savannah's princess crown is now officially broken. What are we going to do???

Cascade Springs

We love going up into the mountains as a family and going hiking or just go on nature walks on Sundays. A few Sundays ago we went to Cascade Springs. It is so beautiful and peaceful there!








I love going for drives though Provo canyon. The trees are so beautiful!
On the way home.

Savannah's First Day of School and New Dress

This is what is in her back pack for her first day of school!
A change of clothes
4 diapers
wipes
School papers
About an hour and a half before we went outside to wait for the bus Savannah had an accident and she had to change out of her new dress that I had made for her the day before. Poor Savannah, she was so sad that she couldn't wear her "hoo hoo princess dress," anymore. The dress has owls on it so that is what she calls it! But anyway, this is Savannah eating her lunch!

We made it one day without her crown or pirate hat! It's a miracle!
She's so stubborn! LOL




Savannah playing peek-a-boo! I caught her! If it isn't over sized rain boots it's kawaks! We love kawaks!
Savannah getting on the bus. She was so excited she wouldn't look back at me!
Savannah after school.I think she had a good day at school! Savannah is going to school 4 days a week for now, but, she might go 5 depending on what her teachers decide.
Savannah's second day of school! She is wearing her new dress! She was so excited!




Savannah's favorite part of her dress is the pockets! She loves to put rocks in them!
