Savannah is not my baby anymore.....

Savannah starts 1st grade tomorrow! I am feeling a little sad:( Not a shocker to all that knows me! I was looking back at photos of my cute Savannah, today. This first shot of her was taken when she was only 9 days old. She was so alert and strong. Savannah is still the same today, I will not have to worry about her. I feel so lucky to be her mom!
JR has been gone, as most of you know. Savannah has been so much help to me and her brother and sister. I love spending time with her at night when the younger ones are asleep. She loves playing games and she loves to beat her mom. I am really going to miss having her around. All day seems too long for her to be gone. She is thrilled to start first grade. All the perks that go with it, riding the bus to and from school, eating in the cafeteria, and having two recesses!!!

I did What?

Note to self and anyone else that has lost their mind: Do not leave a gallon of milk in a very HOT car for 3 or 4 days!
As I loaded my kids in my car this morning, I was utterly disgusted with this horrible smell. I quickly remembered that I had left a gallon of milk in the car. Oh, yes! I went to the back to discover the milk had exploded ALL OVER! As much as I have tried all day to get rid of the smell, it is still there! I was told that there are only a few smells you can not get out of a car....1, being smoke and 2, milk. That's just great!
Tomorrow's to do list: TRADE IN CAR!

Deep Sea Fishing

JR, Matt and the boys went Deep sea fishing off of Newport, CA the other night. They were fishing until midnight. The crew all together caught over 255 sea bass. WOW!
Carson was very concerned about what his daddy was going to do with the fish. When I told Carson that daddy was going to eat them he was very concerned. All he could tell me with tears running down his face was, "I don't want daddy to eat those fish....please tell daddy not to eat them!!" What a sweet little boy we have!!!
Update: Carson told daddy tonight that he wanted him to put the fish back in the water!

Angel Moroni

The Draper temple is coming along. Today, Moroni was put up on the temple at 12 noon. Before noon the kids got a chance to see him on the ground. It was pretty neat.

Savannah Graduates from Kindergarten

Kindergarten graduation was a tearful day. What a fun year it has been. Savannah loved going to school. Especially, riding the bus to school. She got a reward for turning in EVERY homework assignment. Savannah will miss her teacher, Mrs. Bell! Not a fan of the year round school but Savannah seems to enjoy having breaks. She starts 1st grade July 28th :)
