SAVANNA'S WEEK IN PICTURES

SAVANNA'S TURN FOR A WEEK IN PICTURES

Well it is now Savanna's turn for a week in pictures. She is such a little star in our lives. She make me laugh every day. She has this little lisp and way of speaking that is sooo cute. The other day she said "May I have a fruit snack Your Magency?" (majesty) I was rolling. In my world you can have just about anything you want if you are going to call me 'your magency'. Some of the pictures are, Savi in a fun big hat and super star glasses, Painting a Masterpiece, Hanging OUt, Earning her keep by scrubbing the grout on the tile floor with a tooth brush, and the rest are of her dance recital. She just had her dance recitals and she did so good. She concentrates really hard on getting one step right that she is usally about 4 behind everyone else, but that is the beauty of a 3 year old dance recital. She had to learn 2 routines, one for tap and one for ballet. She did so good, and we are so proud of her. Some cute Savi quotes are: Jakob spilled some water and Mark asked Savanna to go get a towel and on her way back she yelled "Savi to the resque!" She likes to watch Chicken Little, and at the end dance to the music. She was dancing to "shake your tail feathers" and yelled from the living room, " Mom come see me shake my booty!" She sings all the time, and her favorites are You are my Sunshine, Bingo, and Old McDonald. Her favorite song on the radio is Money Honey and if you go to the play list at the top of the page you can listen to it. She can sing the refrain word for word, and generally does all over the house while she is hanging out. "If I had no money money would you wuv me wuv me wuv me if I was dis somebody wike me wike me....." very cute! Love our Savi!

A WEEK WITH JAKOB...

(explanations down below next set of pictures) : )

A WEEK OF JAKOB

Well last week we celebrated Audrey, so this week I thought we should celebrate a week with Jakob. Jakob, Jakie, Jake, Jakers, Jaker the Baker, Buddy, Little Monkey, Dirty Smurf, Crib Midget, and so many more little pet names we have for him. He makes me laugh all day long, and he makes me go AAAAAHHHHH!!!! This little boy is a one in a million. Constantly on the go. I pray for his nap and bed times each day and evening, but then I can't wait to see his little smilng dimpled face the next morning. When Mark is traveling , he doesn't just ask how are the kids, he asks "So what did Jake pull today?" This is only a matter of days mind you. He put his face in his jelly sandwich. (Huckleberry, mmmmm!) He decided that a springform pan would make a great hat. He got into my sugar jar and made himself a sugar beard. As you can see by the close up, it was ear to ear, and although it was a pain to clean up, it was too funny to punish him. Also when he is done with his food that he is eating, he likes to put his dishes on his head. This day it was augratin rice with brocolli. When he was done, the bowl went on his head. He thought it was pretty funny until I stuck his head under the faucet to clean him off. That wasn't so fun. Left him smelling like cheesy brocolli for the rest of the day too. I just have to keep EVERYTHING locked up and Jakob proofed. Look out grandmas and grandpas!!! We are headed your way for the summer, and we are bringing the Jakenator!!!!!!!
