Weekend!

Weekend, can you come back again soon? Not a whole 5 days away...!

We had a great weekend hanging out just the three of us mainly with a few visits here and there with friends and family.  I am always sad to see the weekend go.  We unfortunately started out finding out Savannah has a UTI, her first one since being 5 weeks old and having the one that shed the light on her bladder reflux.  She got such a glowing report in February at her urologist that he took her off the daily maintenance antibiotic.  I was thrilled then, as you may remember, but now I'm a little worried she could be having damage on her still-affected-kidney since we aren't taking all precautions to avoid infections.  But, I will wait it out and see if there is another UTI like he wants us to.  The urologist said more than 2 and she'd go back on the daily antibiotic.


Oh, and, I think I have FINALLY convinced Savannah to get past not smiling for the camera.  She now says "cheese" and will smile when I ask her to show me her smile. Or her teeth.  (it was really probably only about 2 months that she has been refusing to have her picture taken but it seemed like forever)

She loves a good 'selfie' picture

playing in the front yard and all she wanted to do was run in the street.  Glad we got that fence!

sporty girl! These were Anna's shorts about 30ish years ago and then I guess mine about 28 years ago.  Adorable!

I mean. Love this child!

 Let's get this week over with quickly so another weekend is upon us!

My Boys

Here are some cute pics of my first babies!

this is every night.  that hump in the middle is my legs.  I get trapped in by the boysies :)

OH and a Ponytail!!!! This officially makes her not a baby.  Such a big girl.

Just Pictures

Of my cutie-patootie!

Zoo!

We went to the zoo on Saturday and it was beautiful weather for the first time in a long while and we loved it and so did the animals! They were all out to play in the sun so we got to see so many! Nana got to come with us but Gran was stuck in meetings so we missed him.  We had a great time and of course Savannah loved all the 'amals' (animals).

Easter and Easter Egg Hunts #3, 4, and on and on...

So I had to take an unintentional bloggy break.  Y'all I was SO SICK.  I got a terrible double ear infection, sinus infection, and possible pneumonia.  I missed 3 days of work last week.  My wonderful mama came down to take care of me and do 867 loads of laundry and dishes.  I could HARDLY get out of bed.  I can't say enough HOW SICK I WAS FEELING.  But I am recovered almost all the way and feeling almost back to normal.  Praise the Lord.

Anyway, back to Easter, we had a great day and it of course passed by so quickly! We had everyone over to the house after church for a big lunch which we are loving doing each year! Then Savannah opened her Easter basket (I had to be at church at 7:45 so no one else in my family was even up yet) and hunted eggs all afternoon (with a nap in between somewhere) and played with everyone in the family! She looked precious in her brand new smocked dress from CC and was the prettiest girl around (at least I'm not biased).  She got lots of fun and sweet little Easter gifts and had her first chocolate bunnies! I found these miniature (I'm talking the size of a corn kernel with ears) chocolate bunnies that came in a little bag like M&Ms that she is loving! She has about 1, let's be honest, 2 chocolate bunnies every day now :) Grandad hid her eggs for her several times so she could go hunting and she just thought it was GREAT.  We had to do all our activities inside, unfortunately, as it was rainy and very muddy but she didn't seem to notice.  Then Nana and Gran and CC and Grandad helped us clean up the whole house and put everything back together.  Thanks guys.

we took family pics but Savannah was napping during them.  She's in plenty of others I think ;)

best pic we could get.  Between her not wanting to take pictures and demanding to hold her basket of eggs, it was a little crazy.

happy girl :)

Easter Egg Hunt #2

First off, a HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Andy! We love you and hope you have a great day! I'm sure Melissa and Anna and Aiden have something great planned for you!

I'll wrap up the weekend tomorrow but first I wanted to post pics from Savannah's second egg hunt at our church on Saturday morning.  It was raining, so they had it inside but I don't think Savannah noticed one bit.  She spotted eggs and popped them right into her basket! It was just so precious to me!  We love our church and are so so glad to have all the friends and kids and everything that we do from there.    The egg hunt was no disappointment.  There were thousands of eggs for hunting, filled with good candy I might add, free pics with the Easter Bunny, and probably Savannah's favorite, the inflatables to play on! At the end they asked us to donate our empty eggs back so they could use them again next year.  We were glad to do that because eggs are taking over our house right now!

I love her outfit! Nana and Gran bought it for her last year while we were in Destin at the Janie and Jack outlet.  adorable.  and the sandals??? Such a big girl.

taking a dip in the returned eggs. :)

she got quite a haul!

This is what pure terror looks like, people.

best one we got

Save Me Mama!

See y'all tomorrow!
