Today's Excitement!!

Today we had a whole day planned and it went so nice! First we were on a mission to the library for new books and movies. That plan was a little altered because Maddie would not eat her breakfast so we just dropped off books. Then we came home and Maddie was picked up by Aunt Amy and taken with A & G to Aunt Judy's birthday celebration. They went swimming while Savannah and I napped. Oh it is amazing how much better I feel when I sleep a little during the day. Poor Aunt Judy had to celebrate her birthday with a bunch of 2/3 year olds and they made a mess in her house and she had to buy pizza! What kind of birthday is that? But I am sure she enjoyed every minute of it!

I promised Madison that we would go chase hot air balloons tonight for the first flight of the weekend. She passed out in the car on the way home from Aunt Judy's and I was sure she was not going to wake up to go. Barbra and Will came over and decided to come chase with us. We did not go far. We ended up in Laurel Ct and every balloon landed in each backyard. It was fun. We have friends that live on that street so it was even more fun for Madison. Savannah was in aww. Some balloons even gave rides. Maddie wanted to go, but there was no way my pregnant self was going in the balloon with her. Which really sucks because that is one thing I will go before I die.... Take a balloon ride!! Here are some pics from our fun night on Laurel Ct. (And to top off my evening, I got to see Demi, a friends new baby. She was the cutest thing ever... I just wish I knew for sure that I was not going to get sick from my kids! I would have scooped her up in a second!)

Upcoming Birthdays!!

I just thought the best way to convey this message to many was to blog it! Between the birth of our son and Jeff and my birthdays there are things we need. So I thought I would let you all know. These requests can also be carried out until Xmas. I have officially started my xmas shopping. So I am accepting all requests from those I buy for as well. Most of my shopping will prob. be done online this year because I am pretty convinced that after 8/8/08 I will not be getting out much for the next 365+ days. Anyhow, Jeff needs a whole new wardrobe. And when I mean whole I mean whole!! Tee hee hee. He realized when he was getting ready for a wedding this past Saturday that he need a new suit too!! Anyhow.. I am not really sure where we want to shop for him. In the past most of his clothes are from GAP. And that is still fine, but now that he is a normal size we may actually be able to buy some clothes on a store and not online. (He was previously too tall and skinny for the stores.) So I guess money or amex gift cards are the best for him! As for me.. all I want it black picture frames of all shapes and sizes. We would like to make a full wall of pictures and we need frames. I feel really bad that there are many pics of Maddie in my house and I think one of Savannah. If I don't get frames soon, the new baby will not have a chance!

As far as the baby there are some more things that I need. We need more burp cloths (Gerber), and bibs. I also need a new mobile (Savannah officially killed the last one.) I loved the one I had and I would like to have it again (Tiny Love, Symphony in Motion). I would also like to have another monitor like the one I already have (Fisher Price, 900mhz long distance monitor). I also need more sheet savers in blue. I think that might be it for now, but if I remember more later I will add.

I hope I have answered most of the question, "what do you still need?" and "what do you want?"

SAVANNAH IS ONE!!!!

On Sunday we had a small party for Savannah's first birthday. I say "small" lightly, our immediate family alone is over 20 people. Anyhow, Poor Savannah was so sick with a super runny nose and a cough. She did not want to be put down nor was she interested in the fuss of a first birthday party. She did play in her pool a little and swim with Daddy in the big pool. With Madison's help she opened a present from us in the morning before everyone came over. That she enjoyed. But all of the other presents, Madison was more than happy to open for her. She just want to go to bed all day! I felt so bad for her and I certainly am not up to my full potential right now either. Thankfully I have awesome family that took Savannah from me when I need them to and cleaned up some where needed. Savannah cried through the birthday song and pushed away her cake. So on Monday I let her try the cake thing again. And this she enjoyed. After she was done, all I could think was, " what was I thinking?? now i need to put her in the bath and I can not bend over!! Ugggg". Oh the things I do for pictures and so that my kids can never tell me when the are older that they were gypped! LOL.

Jeff is away again until Friday and it is only Tuesday. Days are long and nights are longer!! I am so glad I only have 17 more days!! Although I looking forward to being "me" again, please pray for me that I do not go into labor before the 8th! My girlfriend just had her baby a week before her scheduled c-section and the thought of that is really making me nutty!! Will I be ready?? God, knows I am not keen on surprises, so maybe he will let me hang on for 17 more days!!

Here are some pics from Savannah's birthday!

She wanted nothing to do with the cake or the song!! Poor baby!These pics where the day after her birthday. You can kind of see how sick she was, but she enjoyed it a bit more! I just loved this pic so I added it. This is Maddie "listening" and feeling the baby's movements. She loved him so much already!! I can not wait for her to meet him!

Savannah is ONE!!

Savannah is turning ONE on Sunday. I can not believe it has been a year already. This gives me insite to my next year. I have to remind myself that it goes fast! Anyhow, today I took the girls to have their pictures taken. I tried Kiddie Kandids this time and I think I liked them. Kiddie Kandids are much more expensive than Target, but I think it might be worth it. They really seemed to care and tried hard to make Savannah smile. She was over due for a nap!!! Anyhow... here are our results!!! I will be passing out picures as soon. Thank you Uncle Chris for the pictures!

Summer has Begun!

Madison was involved in gymnastics this past year. She loved it most of the time but come to the end she was more interested in Ballet. So we will begin that in the fall. Here are a few pics of the end of the year gymnastics performance. They recieved ribbons for each routine they did and a metal at the end!
