Savanna Joy is FOUR!

Wow. Does time fly or what??? Savanna turned four 10/6/10. What a wonder and gift she is. She is extremely articulate, tall and just a JOY to be around. Here are some highlights from her special day. I asked her what she would like to have for breakfast...she said "Cinnamon rolls!" Daddy asked, "orange or regular?" and she said "Both!" so...we had both :) It was, after all, her special day!

Then we opened presents... new play dough from mom and dad, and a great new princess Chutes & Ladders from Grandma Jayne (she loves it and we've played it 3x a day since :) )










Then we just did whatever she wanted : Watched movies, played the new game, played with Playdough, tried on new clothes. We tried to go swimming but the pool has already been closed for the winter (winter, what winter??) so we had Chick fil A instead. Which she loved. She asked for shrimp for dinner (random) then we had homemade cake and ice cream (homemade by Papa!)





Patsy made Savanna a GORGEOUS new dress and she put it on immediately after bath and slept in it :)











It was a great great day. She is so fun. Oh! Wyatt's present to Savanna was saying her name! It is so cute - "nana!!" He loves, loves, loves his big sister.

Life around here is never dull. Savanna had a great birthday!

Holy Yoga, a trip to the ER...and God's goodness

well we discovered that West Valley Hospital and Phoenix Children's Hospital are both great facilities. Saturday night Wyatt fell from one of the dining room chairs - no one saw him, I got to him immediately but i am not exactly sure what happened. Loooong story and 7 hours in the hospital. The Dr's at West Valley did a c/t scan on Wyatt, and came to the conclusion that there was some bleeding on the left side of his brain. So they shipped us to PCH, where the nuerologists came to the conclusion there was absolutely nothing wrong and no bleeding on the brain. PTL! It was a hard thing to go thru - watching them, holding Wyatt as they poked him, scanned him and generally bugged him. He took it like a champ, however, and around 1130pm when I was having a snack b/c I nearly passed out on the table as they were drawing blood from him, Wy was so MAD that he couldn't have a snack too. So glad to see the little fighter was back. Charles had to return to work in the midst of all thi

NEW ADVENTURES - 2018

Image
Well, it has been a ridiculous amount of time since I last created a blog post. To say that life has happened is an understatement LOL So much has happened. Charles worked as a police officer for the City of Goodyear for 7 years, then transferred to the Gila River Indian Reservation and worked there for 14 months (way too far and so hard on the family!!) He started working for the city of Buckeye in September 2015 and it has been a GREAT city to work for. He has been a police officer for 11 years now! I work for Revelation Wellness and it is such a JOY! I started out working as an Enrollment Adviser, welcoming new instructors into the training and now I am the Director of Culture - handling HR, developing our team and working with the instructors in their regions. I LOVE my job. Savanna is now 11 and going into 6th grade. Wyatt is 9 and going into 4th. Hudson is 7 and going into 2nd grade. So many changes since 2013 when I last posted :) Here is how we got to this adventure!

A family member you may never have known we had..

I am the grandmother to a moose. Yes, you heard me correctly, a MOOSE. She doesn't have a "re al" name, it is simply "moose" or "moosie." She has become a permanent and important part of our daily life. Yesterday Moose looked at me and said "Grandma!" Wow. Not ready for the one quite yet. Guess I'm getting some practice in on a small, blue well-loved moose with no neck to speak of any more. (Her neck has been "loved" do wn into her belly). She 1st joined our family when Savvy was 1 or so, a nd went ignored for quite a while...I think she was discovered shortly after the little brother came on the scene. Moose goes EVERYWHERE with us, and occasionally sleeps at other people's houses, esp.Grandma's (on accident)...Once we thought we'd left her at Safeway and I almost cried...until I remembered, she is just a BLUE MOOSE. Still, she is part of every thing in life... "Momma, Moosie doesn't like that. Momma, Moos
