Catchin' Up

So much catching up to do! While I realize that many readers of this blog also read Savannah's Friends' blogs too, I still like to post pictures you may have already seen. As I've stated before, I hope to one day print this blog and make a book out of it to have for the kiddos later on.

We bought Savannah this pink car when she was about 9 months old. It has been one of those purchases that has been so worth it. Savannah used this pink car a lot over the years and although she's pretty much outgrown it now, she does enjoy a stroll around the cul-de-sac every now and again. For the last 3 years, Sophie's mommy and I have taken this picture of Savannah and Sophie in their matching pink cars. This is likely the last year we'll be taking this photo...so here are the last 3 years.


Last Saturday we celebrated Savannah's 3rd birthday with a HUGE party at Kangazoom. Savannah invited all her friends in the subdivision (which is enough to populate the class of 2024) plus her entire class at school and then some of mine and Stephen's friends' children as well who have become friends with Savannah over the years. Thankfully my parents were in town and helped entertain Gage during the party. Here is Savannah leading the parade to her party room.


The cake...of course Savannah would have nothing to do with it.


But she did blow out her candles like a champ.


After the party, we headed over to Brencie and Dick's house for another huge party. This one was to celebrate Father's Day and Brencie and Dick's 47th wedding anniversary! The gang...


Everyone enjoyed the pool. I don't remember seeing so many people in Brencie's pool since I was a kid. It was reminiscent of the days when all my aunts and uncles were the adults in the pool and me, Melanie, Siri, Victor, Michelle, Jennifer, Piper and Beau were the kiddos...how things have changed!

Here's my beautiful niece...

She befriended watermelon too...


Tuesday was Savannah's actual birthday. We were very excited because her birthday present arrived in time to surprise her Tuesday night after school...a sandbox! Today we actually purchased the $6 pool from ToysRUs...it's just like being at the beach! Well, sort of :)


Wednesday night, we celebrated Savannah and Sophie's birthdays at our house. We built our own pizzas! The girls seemed to enjoy it. They both donned their ballerina leotards and tutus...they were really cute.

Finally, a post wouldn't be complete without some pictures of Gage. He is so fond of Savannah...


...and I think she kinda digs him too!
