Savannah Jane

I can hardly believe Savannah is 5 years old! I remember to well when she was born and it is hard to believe she will be starting Kindergarten in the fall. I am excited but also nervous. Our home isn't as lively and spunky without Miss Savy home. 

Savannah loves preschool and is learning so much right now!

She is always up for fun and makes friends everywhere we go.

She loves to craft and color. She will color pictures multiple times a day.

Savannah loves her friends and loves giving them presents and making cards for them. She is constantly creating things to give to others and loves to make people happy.

She is an amazing helper with Tammy Lee and Hudson. She helps by distracting Hudson and making him laugh when I need to make dinner. She also unbuckles Hudson's and Tammy Lee's seat belts when we are getting out of the car.

She has become so independent and can make her own toast, pours milk in her cereal... etc.

She loves doing the monkey bars and is very athletic and competitive. We really need to get this girl in some sports. 

She loves the bike she got for her bday and says that it is the "fastest bike ever."

It is such a joy watching her grow and learn!

We love you Savannah!

Little Miss Tammy Lee

Here is an update on my fav three year old!

There is no 3 year old that melts my heart as much as this one.

Tammy Lee has the sweetest and most tender soul. She is sensitive and sweet and loves everyone. She will often come up to me and say, "I need mama and T-Lee snuggles." 

I love when I get to have one on one time with her. She likes to play barbies, build with blocks, and read books. 

She loves plopping herself on the counter and "helping" me cook dinner each night. 

She is a pro at setting the table and loves eating dinner as a family.

Her fav dinner I make is spaghetti but she will eat and try pretty much anything.

She gives such sweet and heartfelt prayers.

She always reminds us that we cant forget to read scriptures before bed.

She will often sneak into our bed at night and will snuggle right next to Stephen.

She was very sick at the end of January with pneumonia but quickly recovered after an antibiotic.

She is grinding her teeth a lot at night and we are trying to figure out how to teach her to stop.

She makes Stephen and I so happy!

We love you Tammy Lee!

V-Day and St. Pattys Day

I have so much fun decorating and planning special things for the kids during the holidays!

The girls got V-Day packages from Nana, Papa, Grandma, and Granddad. They were in heaven opening their surprised on Valentines day. Stephen and I picked out their fav brand of stuffed animals and had them setting out for them when they woke up!

Tammy Lee is showing of her v-day goodies!

 The girls decorated the window with some fun things from Grandma and Granddad Jett

 We all know I had to have a little fun with their hair!

Poor Hudson was so miserably sick this day. He was covered in hives bc he was allergic to his antibiotic. :(

 My love!

 My heart was breaking for this poor boy who was so miserable!

 Next was St. Pattys Day. Our little Leprechaun friend came and left green juice for Hudson, Lucky Charms and green milk for the girls. They were so giddy and happy. I love the joy simple things like this bring to little kids minds. I was just as happy watching their darling reactions. 

Hudson dutifully picked out all the lucky charms from his tray. This little boy already knows whats good in life. 

 The best part was the girls reaction when they saw our little leprechaun friend had to go potty!! He wasn't very sneaky about it and forgot to flush!

 That night was had a fun dinner with the Lujans. We are so glad we have met some really great friends here in Oregon!

Catch Up! Feb 2016

YIKES! I am so far behind on our blog... I am now in catch up mode. These last couple months have been great but very busy. I am very busy with my three littles. 

A typical Monday goes like this:

One of the kids usually wakes up around 6:30am and Stephen takes them downstairs. Each kid will soon trickle downstairs as they wake up. 

I do my workout while Stephen is still home and I sometimes have time to quickly shower and get ready before he leaves. 

We give daddy kisses goodbye and I get the kids dressed, hair done, and ready for the day. 

We take Savannah to preschool at 9:00 am. 

Come home and put Hudson down for a nap and play or color with Tammy Lee.

I then start a load of laundry, make our weekly meal plan, and clean up kitchen from breakfast.

Once Hudson wakes up we head to the grocery store to stock up on food for the week.

From the grocery store we pick up Sav from preschool. 

The we come home, eat lunch, clean up, play, and the girls have quiet time while I put Hudson down for his 2nd nap. 

Then we usually go to the park or on a walk if it is sunny.

I begin cooking dinner and then Stephen gets home at 5:30pm. We eat dinner as a family, have FHE, and then put the kids to bed. 

Tammy Lee adores Hudson and is so sweet to him!

 It is very rare for Stephen and I to get out on a date these days. When we do I slowly eat my dinner and enjoy every bite. Usually I scarf down my food as quickly as possible with the kids bc I know I have limited time to eat before one of them need/want me.

 The girls love when Stephen gets home from work. They can't help but climb all over him! 

 This rainy Oregon weather has been rough for me. Any day there is a slight bit of sun we get out of the house and go on a walk.

 Savannah and Lukey having fun with play dough.

 I love watching there creative minds work. They built a birthday cake with the rocks and grass from our backyard.

 My face in this picture cracks me up every time! The things I do to get my baby to smile! haha
