Savanah's Spa Night

Savanah has been begging forever to have her friends over for a spa night! We finally were able to get it all together and do it!

We started out by choosing masks. The girls all wanted the organic charcoal mask. And I opted for avocado's.

Then we did finger nails and toes!

She had so much fun with her friends. Beau and I feel so blessed that she has such great friends who we get to be around quite often!

She is already asking when we can have "Friends Spa Night" again!

Another new post below!
And check out my project link on the side bar. I finally took all my old posts, from refurbishing, to crafts, etc, and put it all in one place. I have updated recently too!

Idaho Part 3

For the last part of our trip we got to stay with my sister Rebecca, in Soda Springs. It was Conference Weekend so we got to not only enjoy good company, but also got to hear our Prophet and others speak. It was so relaxing and refreshing. And there were so many wonderful talks given.

While the guy's were at priesthood session we made sushi. (Well, Bec made and taught me) And boy was it DELISH!

Rebecca is an exceptional cook. She made the yummiest food for us the whole time! You can check some of her recipes out here!
( I am still thinking of her divine potato salad and peanut butter cup brownies. LUSCIOUS!)

She also had this fun activity for the kids. She had frozen ice, with stuff in it, in large bowls. Then gave the kids butter knives to dig it out. It provided some great entertainment!

Thank you so much for spoiling us rotten while we were there. I am still thinking about all the divine goodies you made us!

Idaho Part 2 Baptism

The whole reason for our trip to Idaho was for Savanah's baptism. We wanted her to be able to be surrounded by family and friends on her special day! We were so blessed that her cousin Truman waited for her so they could get baptized together!

Savanah kept saying she was so excited and nervous. You couldn't wipe the smile off her face all day long!

Beau and I both wanted to give her something special. So I cut the underlining of my wedding dress and my mom made a ribbon out of it for her hair. I told her about the day I got sealed in the temple and how it was a special and important day for me. So I gave her the ribbon and told her I wanted her to have something special for her day, from my special day. Then Beau had picked out a gorgeous earring and necklace set for her. She was touched and has already put those things in a special place.


Truman and his Dad



It was so nice after she got baptized to be able to have a few moments with her alone to talk about what just happened. The words she said to me, after she got baptised, will forever be in mind and I will cherish those moments when the spirit was so strong, and feelings we both experienced forever.

I know I say it all the time, but she really is such a good girl. She sets such a good example to her siblings and to us as her parents.

We are so proud of her decision to be baptized!

Idaho Trip Part 1

We had so much fun in Idaho!

I am so lucky to have the worlds greatest mother who came and got me early, so I could spend a few extra days there too!

We mostly relaxed and hung out at my mom's house.

My sisters and I watched movies, beaded, went to D.I., laughed, talked, and just had a great time.

~Some of my fav picture highlights~

Make over day with Grandma, sisters, and mom.

I love her so much. She is such a good women!

And of course, sharing with them my sweet kiddos. Especially this lil' one they don't know to well!

Happy Birthday

I cannot believe that Kenny celebrated her 4th birthday last month.

She is such a fun loving, vivacious and spirited child!

We had a fun family party. Full of lots of presents and laughter at her classic "Kennedy" reactions.

She is always so grateful for toys and loved everything she got!

Daddy made her a special kitty cake just like she asked.

He did a great job too.

Happy Birthday Princess!

We love you so much. You enrich our lives with laughter.

Our days are brighter because of your spunky personality.

We love you sister!

Happy Birthday

I can't believe Savanah's 8th birthday has come and gone already! She is growing up so quickly, too quickly.
Savanah had a few of her closest friends over for a fairy themed party. Each girl recieved wings and got dusted by the Good Queen Fairy when they arrived. (courtesy of, none other than myself, with a can of glitter spray)

The girls made fairy wands, fairy crowns, ate pizza, played "Fairy Freeze", opened presents, and ate cake and ice cream.

Love these pictures...especially the second with her eyes closed. She really thought her wish through!

We love our birthday girl so much!

It seems like just yesterday Beau and I were experiencing those first feelings of becoming a parent, when they placed her in our arms. I knew from the second I saw her that our lives would be never be the same . Discovering being a parent, with her as our first, has been one of the best journey's of our lives!

We love you Savanah!

We hope your day was as bright as you make our lives feel!

Although you got the presents, we still feel like we got the best birthday gift of all...the gift of your sweet smiling face in our lives every day!
Happy Birthday!
