Savannah's first year. (Finally!)

Seriously this post is long overdue. 

I've been meaning to do this post for a while so I decided to give everyone some highlights of Savannah's first year of life!

This is my favorite newborn photo of Savannah while we were still in the hospital :)

 This was taken the week we brought her home:)

 I kinda failed at having newborn photos done, So this was taken when she was a month old:)

 These are photos of our first family trip! We went to California for Uncle Jacob's senior trip. 

She was only 2 months old!

 This was her first Halloween! As you can see I went with the traditional pumpkin costume. 

Though I did it in a much cuter way I think! :) I was one proud mama!

Side note: This is when her love for Minnie Mouse first started as you can see:)

 This is a photo of when she first was learning to crawl.

She crawled at 7 1/2 months.

 This is when Carter and I moved into our own place.

And yes she has her very own room!:)

 This was a family photo we took while at the temple when one of my best friends got married:)

Savannah's first Christmas Eve pjs!

Our first Christmas card! 

I'm not sure how old she is in this photo but I had to have one bath photo in this post right?

It's my favorite one:)

Savannah's first snow day!:)

This fun photo was taken at cousin Kristoffer's first birthday party!

Bow tie and mustache optional.

     These photos were taken during her first superbowl.

Another side note: This is when her love for funyuns was discovered:)

                                

Learning to walk!

Savannah walked at 11 months:)

This was taken at her first birthday party.

These fun ladies are her favorite Aunt Lilly and Britney!

p.s. We miss Aunt Britney lots!

Her first birthday cake:)

   

 I took TONS of photos her first year, but I needed to narrow it down and every one of these photos are some of my very favorite. I absolutely love my little Savannah bug and it's crazy how fast her first year of life went by. I hope you all enjoy looking at her milestones as much as I enjoyed experiencing them!

Thanks for reading!

Giving it another go...

Well folks! I'm horrible at keeping up with my blog but I've recently been inspired to try giving it another go... So we'll see how well I do!

I'm starting small for now.
Oh and the name of my blog, well for anyone who knows me... Enough said. ;)
Seeing as how yesterday was the 4th of July it seems like a good place to start.
We started our holiday with staying out late on the parade route the night before. I love how into Provo, Utah gets into the spirit of our freedom! It's one big party out there on University Ave. And boy do people get into it... :)
The next morning (the 4th) we got ourselves out of bed, put our flag shirts on and headed down to see the parade. I love the parade but man I'll tell ya this year it was really hot out! Dealing with a 1 year old certainly didn't make it anymore enjoyable so we grabbed our little one and headed out a little early back to the air conditioning. Good thing too since we avoided all the traffic the parade creates! :)
We then had a BBQ with the King family and later made our way to my parents home to have yet another BBQ!
Next was Stadium of Fire! Savannah got to stay with her Nana since I do not believe she would have cared to sit in a stadium full of people and not been able to roam free. That could have made for an even longer night so we definitely took advantage of our resources! Thanks again Mom. ;)
Carter had begged me ALL day about how he wanted to take me on his Mom's scooter to the Stadium. I'm not going to lie, I was seriously nervous about it, and was not going to give in. But I love my husband, and even if I had a small panic attack on the way there (hint hint) I gave in. Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be though :)
We had a blast! And seriously I must add that Fireworks are my absolute favorite part of Independence day. We then ended the evening driving home on the scooter. Oh no wait... It didn't quite make it. Yes that's right, the scooter died right outside the MTC. So we parked the thing in a church parking lot nearby and got a ride with Carter's Aunt who fortunately and unfortunately happened to be very close by. I say unfortunately because we were now stuck in an hour long car ride home. But that's okay we were grateful to have a ride!
The best part of my day though?? Coming home to a letter from my bro who is currently in the MTC.
Couldn't have asked for a better ending :)
