The Hair

Here is Denver and his "Beautiful Hair!" Two before photos.

He even combed it so he would look good for the pictures.

This is what was to be an after photo. Then he wanted a design carved into the side. His hair was still too long, so it didn't work properly. He said he just needed a prison sign for these photos, he felt like he was getting his mugshot taken! Doesn't the expression on his face look like it too?

This is a final after photo, with the new shaved head and star carved in the side!

Daddy's Girl

I think Savannah went into Daddy withdrawal when I took her to Manitoba for 10 days. She had lots of fun picking Strawberries, swimming, going to Auntie Francies', watching the parade and going to the fair. ( Oh yeah, during the parade a little boy was throwing play money to the crowd. Savannah got a pretend $10 bill and said it was Daddy's!)

When we weren't busy she was busy being a little stinker!!!!! Big attitude and lots of whininess.

Daddy had to come out to pick up a buffet for Mummy to bring back home. He got there really late. Savannah was so excited when she woke up in the morning and saw Daddy in bed! She had to come over and poke Mummy to show her that Daddy was there too. :D

Daddy spent the morning with us. Savannah was a changed little girl. So HAPPY! After that she was a GOOD girl for the rest of the trip. We didn't get back home with Daddy for two more days.

When we got home, Daddy was already camping. We just had to get ready and get out to the campground too. Savannah was excited to be home and play with all her things, so it took a little while to get her back in the car. As soon as we were in there though, it started! "We going canting, Mummy? Canting with Daddy?" Over and over until we got to the campground.

The funniest thing though was after we had been there for awhile. Savannah ran up to Daddy and said "You missed me Daddy!" Only she said "miss" instead of "missed."

Yep, I think she is glad to be home again!

Birthday Number 3!

It's hard to believe Savannah is 3 already! The first three photos are from her actual birthday. She woke up in the morning to find Tinkerbell and the rest of the Disney Fairies all over the living room floor! She thought that was lots of fun.






When she was done playing Fairies I asked her what she wanted to do next. Her answer was "Hot Dog!" This is what she meant.




After that we got ready to go pick up her best friend Mya and her Mum to take them to the mall to "Build-A-Bear." Unfortunately I had camera issues, so had to get a disposable one to take photos there. Of course they aren't great, but at least they were something. Not going to scan them on here though.

Mya made a snow leopard and Savannah made a Kitty. It's grey with a pink flowery dress. She named it "Kitty!"

Hadn't planned on doing much else there, but ended up getting a short and shirt outfit for her as well and a Belle facecloth at the Disney Store. Yep, spoiled.

These next photos are from her birthday party on the 20th of June.

Ariel is her favorite princess right now so I thought it would be fun to make her an Ariel cake.  I had a little trouble with runny icing this year, but it was still cute.

This is Savannah's best friend, Mya.  The girls were playing with dress-up hair I got from the Dollar Store.

I used to babysit Cari.  She brought her little brother to the party too.

Akaycia having fun peeking out of Savannah's playhouse from last year's birthday.  It is well used by all the girls.

Playing with the hair, magic wands, and a new "golf" game I got for the kids to play with outside.

Big sister Megan, suntanning in the mess!

Time to open presents.  I wonder what could be in here?

It's Seepy Beutie, Mum!  (Sleeping Beauty).  Unfortunately this doll has already had a beheading accident!  She still brushes it's hair though.  I really need to find some good glue and fix it one of these days.

More Fairies from Disney World

Blowing out her candles.  Mya's Daddy, Tim says this was the best cake ever!  He kept calling it the "really good cake!"

Serenity really enjoyed her cake, she kept trying to get more, as did her sister.

Now that I'm three I wonder what kind of trouble I will get into this year???  I'm sure Mum will let you know!  :D

What Rick Got for Father's Day!

I absolutely LOVE this photo of Savannah. So for Father's Day I got part of this printed on 3 golf balls for Rick. She thinks they are hers now though! I mean, after all, they do have her face on them! :D

I got him a chainsaw to cut wood for our fireplace and campsite. What's that compared to our daughter's cuteness on a golf ball?




As a few people have said: "You mean, he will be hitting Savannah's face?" No, these are too special, he will save them forever.

My Little Big Helper

Savannah just LOVES to do this job! All our toilet paper from Costco comes individually wrapped (what a waste, but it's cheap!) As soon as she saw a new package last night she was trying to rip into it to do "her job." Unfortunately it was long past her bedtime, so I had to dissuade her from doing it last night. I'm glad she still wanted to do it this morning. She was watching t.v. at the same time. (Already a multi-tasker!) After she gets a tower of about five rolls she tells me they are ready. I get to put them away in the cupboard. Every time I take a tower I get an emphatic Thank You! Near the end I get her to take bunches of four rolls. She knows exactly where to put them. What a good little big helper. :D

More Funny Words and Stuff

A few days ago we went to our playgroup, but Savannah's best friend Mya couldn't come. She was sick. Savannah was so disappointed that Mya couldn't come. We talked about it for quite awhile as she kept asking about Mya. Today we were planting some special Lily bulbs from Gramma G.G. and Savannah started talking about Mya. "Yeah, she's sick, she has a beber!!" It was cute. I'm glad she is learning compassion for others.

"Tater's" birthday party was on May 9th. It was lots of fun. In Savannah's treat bag there was a skipping rope. I think she has seen them a few times on "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" which is one of her favorite shows. She calls the skipping rope her "Jumping Bean!"

Bay Bing Soup sounds more like Baby Soup now. (See previous post if you don't know what this is about!)

We had spaghetti for supper and a lunch this week. Savannah doesn't even try to say spaghetti. She just wants NOONles.

For a month or so now I've noticed she has quite the imagination. She does a lot of talking to herself and her toys when she is playing. Recently she must have found an imaginary friend. She is always mad at it though. Last week in the sandbox (alone) she hollered out, "Give me back my shovel!" She also hollers things at Akaycia when she is not here. It's funny because she and Akaycia don't fight that much when Akaycia is here. Today she was telling her to "Get out of my car Akaycia!" Strange.

I other news, I am finally getting stuff planted out in the flowerbeds. The ugly Juniper is gone from the front, the grey landscape rocks are being taken by people and I am making a raised flowerbed in the back with larger rocks all around it. So glad it is Spring again!

Funny Stuff

This is mostly going to be about little things Savannah says and does, but I have to put in one thing of Megan's! :D

So here is Megan's funny thing: One day after school Megan told me that when she was getting ready for seminary she thought her toothpaste was burning her mouth. So then she caught herself blowing on her toothpaste to cool it! Afterwards she wondered if she had really done it or dreamt it. The next day she told me she did it again! Oh, the things you do when you are half asleep!

Recently we visited one of the girls I used to babysit in my day home. Her name is Taylor. Now Savannah can't stop talking about "My Tater!"

When we drive by places she recognizes she has to make sure we all KNOW about them. For example, quite loudly she will say "I see Denver's school, See, Denver's school, Daddy, Denver's school, Mummy, see, Denver's school. I see Denver's school!" Yep, she says it that much, over and over until she can't see it anymore. No one else can have a conversation until we are past it because she is much too loud and insistent that you "See it too!" Replace "Denver's school" with "Megan's school" or the swimming pool.

The swimming pool is funnier though. It's "I SEE SWIMMING! I SEE SWIMMING! Ariel, my bay bing soup! Ariel swimming, my bay bing soup! My bay bing soup at home? Tater bay bing soup?" "Tater" lives near the pool as Savannah just discovered! Oh dear. Ariel is on her Little Swimmers and is also her new favorite Disney Princess. (My favorite part of this is her bay bing soup! It sounds just exactly like that.)

Overheard quite often when she is talking on her new Princess cell phone from Flower Gramma (or any other phone she can get her hands on, or something that she is pretending is a phone, could be her hand, or a dress up shoe, or just about anything!) "HehWoah, yeah, Ariel lives far away. Yeah, Princess. Oh, okay, bye."

As Megan's friend Jordi just discovered Savannah is also a texter. She has been copying Megan and texting for quite awhile now. Jordi was sitting in the back seat and just amazed by that. She said "No Megan, you don't understand, she's really texting! She's pushing some of the numbers twice and everything!" I have a feeling she's texting the world that "Ariel lives far away!" She also knows Aerie lives far away and sometimes mentions that too.

SUPPER READY! Ask her to go tell Megan and/or Denver or Daddy that supper is ready and she runs to the top of the stairs or to the living room, depending where they are and HOLLERS that at the top of her lungs!

Yeah, she gets loud and excited about a lot of things.

Drive by McDonald's and she wants chicken and pies (fries). If we turn in there, "Chicken and pies" is accompanied by "Yay!" and a lot of excited clapping! We don't eat there much, usually just on long trips, so it is exciting! lol

Going for a trip on the elevator? Nope, it's an alligator!

Watching Peter Pan? Nope, it's called scary! (That's for the scary pirates like we saw at Disney World on the "Pirates of the Caribbean" ride. She loved it and says "Scary pirates, arrrr all the time.)

Ladybugs are "gonna get you!" and apparently spiders are "scusting," but she is okay with me putting them outside.

Things that taste good are "Liscious!"

"Bye, Daddy! Bye, Daddy's truck!"

"Bye, have a good day!" that's for everyone that ever comes here and leaves this house.

Hope your day is wonderful and you find something funny in it to laugh about later!
