Savannah and Ernie

My Dad got my grandpa that lives in North Dakota a new horse, so before he took it to him he let Savannah ride him. She absolutely loved this horse. She called him her "little buddy Ernie". He is a great horse and has been ridden a lot, so he was really good with her. She wasn't a bit afraid, she wanted to do it all on her own. After they got done riding she brushed him and gave him treats. When my dad took him to North Dakota she cried and cried and said she was really going to miss her buddy Ernie, it was so sad.

My First 100 Mile Bike Ride

So last weekend Jalee, Denise (my mother in law) and I went to Logan to ride in a all women's bike ride for breast cancer. There were 2700 riders and it was an amazing event, with tons of food and music. It was so awesome to see so many riders. There were 15 mile -100 mile distances. Jalee and I decided to ride the 100 mile course (which really was 104 miles) and Denise rode 82 miles. The day started out pretty hectic with rain and cold weather and us not being very organized and ready to ride. Jalee went to cross the curb with her bike, that was filled with water and fell in to her waist. She was soaked, her socks and everything and it was so cold. I thought she was going to loose it, but she didn't and we got on our bikes and got started just a little late. On our 100 mile course we were in even in Idaho for 20-25 miles, it was really weird when I saw a sign for Pocatello. The ride was beautiful, along the mountains! Besides our morning we finished our ride without any wrecks or flat tires ( which was a huge fear of ours!!) We had tons of fun, and I would definitely go again! And we didn't take any pictures

Happy 4th Birthday Savannah

Jimmy and Ellie

Savannah and Alison. She loves this girl so much, she is older and she thinks she is the coolest girl! I was so glad that she came. Savannah was attached to her the entire time.

Savy's Birthday present from my mom and dad.


This year we had a pool party at the rec center for Savannah's birthday. It was such a great time, all of the kids had a blast, and I think some of the dad's had even more fun. She got so many cute gifts, and she had a great time with all of her friends and family. Thanks everyone for coming.

Our Vacation to St Thomas the US Virgin Islands

Soggy Dollar in the British Virgin Islands. There were only three little bars on this beach. They call it the soggy dollar because you have to swim in from your boat to get to the beach and then when you pay for your drink your money is all wet. There is no road access to get to this beach, it was so beautiful there.

Cooper Island (British Virgin Islands). This was the only thing here, the restaurant and a little hotel. We had lunch here.

Savannah's first time holding a ALIVE starfish, which we found out later, we weren't supposed to touch or pick them up, oops!!

"The Baths", in the British Virgin Islands! This place was absolutely amazing. The granite boulders don't look very big in the picture, but they are huge. We swam and snorkeled here and hiked up in the rocks. It was awesome!

Charlotte and Molly waiting for our fairy to take us back to our resort. This is the place where all the ships (cruises) come in and where all the shopping is. You could take this fairy back and forth from the resort.

Magens Bay in St Thomas.

Charlotte and Molly Shopping

The Marriott at Frenchman's cove in St Thomas, our resort where we stayed.

There were iguana's everywhere, they would just hang by the pool and the beach. They were not a bit shy.

Ryan's parents took us to St Thomas for a week and it was absolutely amazing. We had so much fun and so did Savannah. We really just hung by the pool and the beach and did a little shopping. One day we had a guide take us on a boat to st john's and the British virgin islands, that day was probably my favorite. Savannah was so much fun. She did everything we did, from swimming in the ocean, hiking and riding in the boat. She loved shopping for little jewelry and souvenirs. The busier she is the better. She loved swimming and finding seashells and sea glass in the ocean. We can't wait to go again!! Thanks Charlie and Denise!!

Savannah's Four Year Old Pictures!!

Wow I can't believe she is already going to be 4! Here are some of her pic's , I love them sooo much. She was really good getting them taken, I had to bribe her with a swimming baby she had seen on TV. Thanks alot tiff!!

Mother's Day

Savannah's first order of crab legs!!

For mothers day we went to flaming gorge lodge for dinner. Savannah ordered crab legs and yes all on her own. I was reading her the kids menu and she said she wanted crab legs, so that is what she got. She actually ate them really well, after her dad got the meat out for her. We had a great day. I love being a mom and feel so blessed to have such a happy and healthy little girl. She feels my life with so much laughter and joy and I can't even imagine life without her. She was so sweet, she gave me a really cute card and gave me the biggest hug ever!!

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!

Savannah brought me this poem home from preschool and I thought it was so true. It really did bring tears to my eyes and made me realize how fast she is growing.

Sometimes you get discouraged

Because I am so small

And always leave my fingerprints

On furniture and walls

But everday I am growing up

And soon Ill be so tall,

That all these little handprints

Will be hard to recall

So here's a special handprint

Just so that you can say,

This is how my fingers looked

When I placed them here today
