some of my favorites and not-so-favorites

so i was thinking today about all my favorite things (do you pictures julie andrews singing to the von trapp children when you hear that ? i do) so i thought it would be fun to write them out!!
My Favorite Things:



Savannah is definatley one of my favorite people in the world! she is so dang cute, and fancy!! she is such a sweet girl, who is starting to coo and smile, i just love her!!


Cuddling is one of my favorite things too! i think that our kids got that from me, because matt is not a fan of cuddling. lately kyle has been telling me that we just need to cuddle, and i love that!

i love zebra print! i can't get enough of it, i want zebra print shoes really bad, i think that they would look so fancy!!

i just tried a new sweet & sour chicken recipe, and it is really good and easy, so i made it twice last week.

My friend ashley is definatley one of my new favorites, she is so dang funny and fun. i know her from waiting tables awhile ago, that was before she was married and either one of us had kids. she is awesome!! she also is a fany of being fancy, YEAH!!

the way that kyle reacts when matt comes home. it is the best thing i have ever seen. kyle runs as fast as he can yells "daddy's home" and jumps into matts arms. they then go through a very detailed discussion of what matt did on the firetruck the day before.it is so great to see how much they love each other, because i think matt is equally as excited to see kyle.

the office, and i can't wait for the new season to start. i think it has some of the best writing of any tv show i have seen in a long time. it is also the only show i follow religiously.

the summer, i love the warm weather and i am so sad to see it leaving.

that kyle calls me "girl", for instance he always says "thanks girl" or "girl, come get Banna". it is so funny, but most of the things he tells me are dang funny!

the firefighters ball. i love that we get to get all dressed up, matt wears his fancy uniform, and it is fun to dance and see all the firemen behaving themselves. the best part is that matt gets so excited too. ( it is coming up nov. 7th)

MY Not-So -Favorites

folding laundry. it si the worst part and it seems to take me days to finish laundry just because i dread folding it!

our yard. matt and i bought our house in the winter, so we never realized we should have had them take care of putting in our lawn,so this summer with having so much going on , we have put it off. the mud and dirt makes me crazy, but at least i have a cute house anyways.

waking up at night. i realize it is a necessary evil, because savannah has to eat, but i really like to sleep. ( she did only get up once last night, i can do that)


my boobs. yeah, i know none of you really care, but they are way too huge. they make me feel very big. i know that it is just a part of nursing, but they are not attractive ( some members of my family might disagree) and i know that they will not be any better when they shrink after i quit nursing but i am just not a fan of them right now.

Roxy fur. i know the cute dog cant help it, but her fur drives me crazy. i find it everywhere, i mean everywhere. she is a good dog, and cute, so i guess the fur just comes with it.


so that is some of the things i am really into lately!!

the bonds go to the fair!!

kyle and savannah cuddling

so yesterday matt was off of work, so we went down to blackfoot (small town about 25 minutes away) to the eastern idaho state fair. i was not sure what to expect,but it was pretty good sized actually. (it was not texas state fair though)kyle loved seeing all the animals and savannah slept the whole time, which i think she equally enjoyed. matt and i laughed so hard at how quickly would go up to animals and start talking to them.he was bossing the goats around in the petting zoo, then he caught one sneaking food from his little cup, so he told her to go over to time out. kyle asked me a couple times if we could take a horse home. we saw huge cows and horses, they never seem so big when they are in a field or on tv. kyle even got to go on a little ride all by himself, he was so cute, but had a death grip on the sides the whole time. despite not getting any good fair food (i love funnel cakes) it was really fun!
also, this morning kyle was downstairs with me while i was making muffins, and our laundry room is right by our kitchen, so kyle comes out of the laundry room wearing as much as he can of matt's dress uniform. he is so cute and funny. notice the socks, he was especially proud of those!!

some new pictures!!!

Catching up...

i know that i have not updated my blog in a while, but i have not had to time to do anything besides the essential stuff lately. however today, savannah is sleeping and kyle is watching the backyardigans, so i thought i would catch everyone up on us. First of all, savannah is doing great. she is a very sweet baby, and a great eater. i feel like i am always nursing her, but that is okay because she is growing so well. she is getting better at night too, she was only up twice last night and went right back to sleep after her feeding. i am not going to complain about that. i can't even tell you how much fun i am having making every color bow for her hair and dressing her fancy. she is just so cute!!next is kyle, he loves savannah. ( almost a little too much sometimes) he is very eager to hold her and kiss her. he thinks she is "so cute and so little". he wakes up in the morning wanting to know where "banna" (he cannot say v's, so he says b's instead)is. he really enjoyed his time with grandma and grandpa, and asks when they are coming every once in while. he is really is such a cute little boy!! now, matt is great. i think he really enjoyed having time off when his parents were here but i also think he was glad to get back into his work routine. he had a really big wildfire last week, but missed out on a huge house fire, so i think he is kinda eager for some action at work. he is also so helpful to me. after my "incident" of hemmoraging he took care of EVERYTHING (with deb deb's help) and really was sweet. he also has been doing a lot to help me get extra sleep too, like getting up with the kids early in the morning so i can sleep through one feeding or staying up late. he is awesome, and so cute. lastly, i am doing better. i feel like i am finally getting my energy back. i still get a little dizzy running after the kids a lot, but i definatley feel so much better. i didn't nurse kyle, so i was not so sure i was going to be able to nurse savannah, but it is going great this time around. she makes it easy because she is such a good eater too. i thought that i would have has a major meltdown being home with the kids by myself, but i have done really well. my house is not as clean as i would like, but everything is good. i feel really blessed that i am feeling so good, and everyone has been so generous and caring with everything that happened and with the arrival of fancy.here are some new pictures!

SAVANNAH BELLE

our daughter Savannah Belle was born yesterday. she was 6 lbs 1 oz. and was 19 in. long. ( the exact same size as Kyle) She is fancy to say the very least. We all adore her. Kyle told us today that she is so cute, and he also asked if we could put her back in my belly. we really as blessed to have such adorable, sweet and healthy kids. So Labor was a little long, but everything went really well. i only had to push for like 10 minutes. it was nice. However this morning we had quite an emergency, i started bleeding horribly. i lost 2 liters of blood, and we were just terrified. My dr and all the nurses were really fast, and were able to finally stop the bleeding and get me back on track. i have never been so grateful to see matt walk in my room. ( he and deb went home to get some decent sleep since labor was so long) So all in all, very scary morning, but doing better. i will just have to take it really easy for a while. we are still in the hospital, but may be able to go home tomorrow or monday morning. well, here are some pictures of our little girl, grandma deb deb,kyle and matt.

the fourth of july!!

we went to see fireworks, and they were so good. kyle really enjoyed them, but fell asleep in the middle. he kept telling us they were rockets.he was such a trooper all day. it was a really fun fourth of july!!



matt was in the parade with the Honor Guard. he is the one in the very middle. he did so good. he was not suppose to smile, but he did kyle a little one at the end. kyle also got a little flag, which was a really big deal to him.

a disney princess??

i never take these quizzes, but i thought this one would be fun. my answer was very unexpected.

You Are Snow White!

Pure and trusting. You are a gentle soul who can get along with just about anyone. Everyone you meet instantly falls in love with you. How can they resist? You have a pure, lovable nature that's irresistable. Just don't trust everyone who comes across your path.

Which Disney Princess Are You?
