Frog parts

Griffin's class dissected frogs yesterday.  He was nice enough to bring some of the internal organs home for all of us to see........

Our weekend in pictures

Backyard Happiness

While we were in California work got started on our backyard.  After living here over 5 yrs.  We were so excited to finally have our big dream patio done.  It looks great.  Now for rock, and hopefully color stucco on all of the walls.  It looks so much better already.  I know we will enjoy spending lots of time together back there this spring/summer.

Birthday gifts

Can't wait to read these books from Grandpa!

So surprised and excited!

Gifts from her friend Julia.

Curly enjoying her new bed.


When we got home we found a birthday surprise by the door for Savannah from her friend Julia.  She loved the gifts and wore the nightgown to bed.  The next morning, Patrick surprised her with her "big" gift from us.  He built a bed for Curly, and I bought the bedding off esty.  She loves it.  Now Curly has a bed right next to Savannah.
Monday at school her friend Kailey gave her a gift a bunch of craft projects, and princess lip glosses.
That afternoon she got a package from Grandpa Pat with a bunch of American Girl books.

With her money from Grandma Linda/Grandpa Dan & Grandma Shelley/Grandpa John she bought a few small "girlie" lego sets.  She plans to spend the rest on an Easy Bake Oven.

I'd say Savannah had a great 7th birthday! 

Party Day

My Mom threw Savannah a really cute hawaiian birthday party.  It was fun having Grandma plan out her 7th birthday. 

Seeing her cake Grandma made for the first time.

Even Curly celebrated

It was a really fun day.  It was extra special because Savannah was able to spend her birthday with her Grandma.  Since we live so far, that does not happen often.  I'm sure she will remember this party always.
