Putting a plug in for myself!

K friends, I need a favor. Please go to mommymodels.blogspot.com and vote for my shoes (#13) on the right side of the blog. I know my shoes are not the cutest pair, not even close, but keep in mind I wasn't planning on having my pics taken, I was there for my daughter's photo shoot. However, the winner gets a family photo shoot (a $475 value) and I could never afford that - we haven't had a family photo since Leah was born. You have from now until July 31st to vote - so please vote for me! Thanks!

Happy 1st Birthday Leah!

Happy Birthday Leah! We can't believe it was only a year ago that we welcomed you into our family! A year ago today we got our new baby and new house all in the same day - it was so fun. We have enjoyed having Leah as part of our family, I don't remember what we did without her. She is a spunky little gal! Her sisters are so much help and love her so much.

Toothless Wonder!

She finally lost her two front teeth - and all in the same week!

Fishin' at Yankee Meadows

Last weekend we took the kids up to Yankee Meadows with my family. It was soo much fun. I think that Yankee is my favorite place to go, it is so pretty and the fishin' is usually pretty good too. We did take the poles and fished for a little bit, but Annie was the only one catchin' anything. We roasted some weenies and marshmallows and just had a good ol' time. Can't wait to go campin!

Picture Overload! This is Annie with her fish that she caught. Below is a picture of my mom with all the grandkids (minus Savannah) and Jason roasting his weenies :) Thanks dad for taking us. It was so much fun!

Field Day!

The last week of school was lots of fun - the kids at Iron Springs Elementary got to have field day and it was a blast. I love living next to the school. We were able to go and watch Savannah participate in the events that she signed up for. She did really well at the frisbee throw. She and another girl in her class tied for third place.

Savannah did the cross country run and made it in last place :) I guess running isn't her thing. She told me they wouldn't let her be on the relay team because she didn't run fast enough. My favorite event to watch was the tug-of-war. If you look at the picture closely you can see the face Savannah is making. This was right before her team lost. They did best of 3 and her team won the first two! I can't wait to volunteer for field day next year.

Preschool Grad!

I know I said I would post something everyday, but obviously I lied. This is Ava at her preschool graduation. I can't believe she is going to Kindergarten, that makes me a little sad. She loves Mrs. Woolsey and will miss her. She gets to go to summer school though, so she has a few more months with her.

We love you Ava! Don't grow up so fast!

Talent Show and Arts night

A couple of weeks ago they had a talent show at Iron Springs that Savannah signed up for. To my surprise she signed up to sing. She sang "I can sing a rainbow" and I played the piano for her. She was very excited and when we went to rehearsal the day before she got up on the stage with all the confidence in the world. I thought, wow, she is a natural born entertainer. Talent night came and when she saw that there were actually people there watching she did get a little bit nervous and told me "I don't think I want to do this." But I told her since she roped me into playing the piano for her then she had to do it. She did a good job, she didn't sing very loud, probably cuz she was scared, but I am very proud that she did it anyway and I hope she will continue to do things that will increase her talents and share them with other people.

I tried to upload a video on blogger, but it was taking all day and all night (hence the reason I didn't post all weekend), maybe my vid was too long . . . so if you want to watch Savannah at her talent show click on the link and it should take you there.
