Tractors and Tutus!

so i decided the other day that savannah needed her first tutu. so i went and bought a few things and made her this one. she actually loves it and looks so fancy, i love having a little girl.
it has also been really warm lately,so kyle has gotten to bust out his christmas present, which was a power wheels tractor. matt recently motified it, so it goes so fast. i think kyle gets mild whiplash every time he starts off. he is awesome at driving it too. yesterday he decided he wanted to wash it, so that is what the picture is.

so sweet!

i took this picture of kyle and savannah before church today. they are so dang cute!! we had a great easter. ( we did ours yesterday because matt had to work today) kyle also had a primary activity where they were called on missions. he went to russia. i have to admit i almosted teared up when we left him. i think the next 16years are going to fly by. sad. but he had so much fun. we also had the fire department's easter egg hunt, where kyle did not get any eggs. ( we showed up like 2 minutes late) the to top it off we went to a friend's birthday party,which was really fun, but i think i will post more about it tomorrow. so, happy easter to everyone from us!!

this is awesome!

so i found this, and i love it!! i think i fell in love with Jake Ryan when i was introduced to him by my cousin Liz (thanks!). if you dont know who he is, he is a super hot, cool, senior from the movie 16 candles. yes, we are pretty serious.

Fancy's new room!

matt and i have been talking for the last 6 months about how we wanted to paint savannah's room, and finally we did. i think it turned out cute!! i am not sure if you can tell in the picture, but it is a darker purple on the bottom. i also made a crib bumper, but thanks to kyle it did not even make it a month, so that is why there is nothing on the crib. i think i will take it apart and make cute pillow for when she moves into a big girl bed. i should also say that matt did 90% of the work, good work matt!

the tooth fairy dropped something off for Savannah!

so i dont know now many of you know, but kyle calls savannah "banna" and somehow that has turned into "banny".
the other morning i was talking to kyle and he was so excited that banny had a new tooth so i thought ya'll might be too.

SIX!

this is the sixth picture in my sixth file!

so cute!! kyle about 1 1/2 and went through a phase of hanging out on the bottom shelf of our bookshelf. he is awesome!

i heart kilts

yesterday the iffd pipes and drums did a little show downtown, where they walked to several places and played for everyone to celebrate st. patricks day. i went and watched and had so much fun. every place they went people went nuts and cheered. matt played so well, and i was so excited to see how he did. my friend was a good sport and came with me. it was really fun. the link to the news picture is cool, but matt is hidden by the piper in the middle. and naturally i forgot my camera. also, just a little side note, it is so funny to see middle aged women go nuts over seeing the younger guys in their kilts. so funny!!

i forgot to post the picture of savannah...

work in progress...

i decided that i was going to do better on updating my blog. i am also working on it, so it is not very cute right now, but it will be soon. matt said he found the cord to our camera (matt, where is it?) so as soon as i find it i will post more pictures. anyways, i really enjoy other peoples post, so i am going to do better.so here we go...
lately kyle has started his potty training again and is doing great. he actually tells me when he has to go, so a vast improvement for him. he also started in primary, and i think he likes being a sunbeam most of the time. he tells me all the time that there is too many kids, but i think he likes it. also, he started his gym class. oh my gosh!! he loves it, and he does so good. they do a little obstacle course and jump into a foam pit. he even listened to his teacher. he was just so dang cute streching with everyone in his class. i think that it will be really good for him (thanks deb deb).
savannah is our sweet little girl. i think it is also fair to say that she is high maintenance. i guess she is a girl, so its not really a surprise. she just wants what she wants, and she wants it now. thats ok!! she is 8 months old now, and sitting up and so close to full out crawling. she is so cute, and i had to post a new picture since i have not posted one since october. she is fancy!!

the boys!

so i think i will update ya'll a little more on the boys. they are so funny!!
Matt is great. he just got switched to a different shift, so it is a change for him, but i think he likes it. i think he is fine anywhere as long as they let him put out fires and help people. he is so funny, he has not been working as much overtime this winter as he did in the summer, so he has been home more. which is nice for me, but probaley a little boring for him, but at least he gets sleep at home. the kids just love him and he and kyle are always playing together. he is the best person i know.
kyle is also great. he is working so hard on his potty training. he went the whole day today without any accidents, yea!! he is trying to go good, but he doesn't know when to tell us he has to go until its too late. but if i remind him, he does great. there is one downside to the potty training, he will not quit showing me his weiner, and touching it. honestly, i think he just has to keep tabs on it all the time. oh well, he is a boy.
so the boys are great, and are so funny. they are a realy great part of our family

our little fancy!!

savannah is getting so big. she is 6 months old now, which i cannot believe because it has gone by so much faster this time than it did with kyle. it makes me want to cry sometimes. but anyways, she is changing so much lately. she is getting a little chub chub on her and she can roll over. she is really close to sitting up and wants to be with me all the time. literally, she would nurse all day, every day if i would let her. But she does really love matt and kyle. i think she is learning that it will go a long way to be sweet to daddy. she is so sweet and cute. she looks just like kyle. ( i will definatley put up pictures as soon as i can, because she has changed so much since halloween) she also had a good christmas, she got fancy clothes and i made her bows to match every outfit!!also, today kyle was dancing for her and singing "shake your booty" and she was laughing so hard, the cutest little belly laugh. i loved it! it is cute how much she loves kyle, they are so cute together. it makes me so happy. they are awesome!

december!!

where to start...
i think i will start in december. matthew and i decided that we needed a small vacation to get away for a couple days, so we got a hotel and stayed in salt lake for a few days. the first morning kyle woke up at 4 am, and matt and i decided that is why parents get a seperate room for their kids. we saw the von guntens (family friends) who have so many kids running around, kyle had a blast. it was fun to take the kids to temple square and let them see where matt proposed (i think the sentiment was lost on them, they were hungry, tired and cold). it was nice to get away and get out of town.
next to come was christmas... oh, it was so fun this year. kyle was so excited and really got into all the traditions of the holidays. we made lots of treats and decorated our tree and he just loved it. he got to see Santa come in a fire truck to the fire station. it was so funny, santa comes into the bay at the fire station where everyone is waiting for him and kyle cannot contain himself and takes off. he ran over and jumped on santa's lap before he could even sit down. he quickly told santa he wanted a power wheels jeep. it was so cute. ( i do have a ton of new pictures but we lost our cord to upload the pictures, so sorry. i will put them up when i get a new cord.) i also put savannah on santa's lap and she was okay with it, because kyle was with her. christmas morning wa really fun, kyle got so many good toys, he just wanted to play with the first one, not open more. he did get his riding tractor power wheels. it is so cute, and he is getting really good at driving it too. he got lots of stuff, and told us the other night that he just wants to go to grandma's house for a beautiful christmas. maybe next year?!!
