Happy Birthday Savanna!!!!

Today, Savanna turned 4 years old!! My little pumpkin is a big girl now! We had a big party for her at our house and an even bigger jumper in the backyard! Everything was in the theme of the Disney Princesses. Savanna is so into them right now and was so happy to be treated like a princess today! It was really hot, probably over 100 degrees, but we made the best of it and had tons of fun! Savanna was non-stop the whole time. She was either bouncing around in the jumper or riding her new bike or playing in the sandbox or just having fun with all of her friends and cousins. Thank you to all those who came and thank you especially to Tita Penny for cooking pansit and my favorite, fried wontons!

I will post lots of pics tomorrow once the camera battery has recharged!


Alright, here are pics of the birthday fun:



When Savanna woke up in the morning, this was the first present she got:

The jumper is here! It almost didn't fit thru the side of the house because it was so big, but they squeezed it through. It's time to inflate it:

Anxiously awaiting to see the princesses on the jumper:


This thing was really huge! This is a pic taken from upstairs, it's almost bigger than our house:

Savanna loved having everyone sing to her:

Fair fun!!!

Yesterday after picking Savanna up from school, we headed to the fair! It has become an annual family tradition to go to the fair and enjoy the rides, games, and yummy fair food!! We had corn, battered potatoes, funnel cake, and bbq. We also brought home cinnamon rolls. Everything was sooo good! The weather was perfect since we were near the coast, we could feel the breeze! We had such a fun day!

Such a big girl riding by herself:

We can't wait 'til next year!!

Celebrating at school!

Yesterday, Savanna celebrated her birthday at school! We made cupcakes together the day before and Savanna loved putting sprinkles on all of them. She was so excited to get to wear the birthday crown and have everyone sing happy birthday to her! I think she was smiling the whole day!!


Grandpa also arrived the night before and Savanna was so excited to wake up and see him. We all dropped her off in the morning so he could see her school.


Here are pics from her day:

Looking so cute in her birthday crown:

Happy Father's Day!

A belated Happy Father's Day to all the great Dads out there!! Hope you all had a nice day.

Savanna, Owen and I surprised Justin with blueberry muffins and a few gifts in the morning. Then we headed to the mall to have our family portraits taken. They came out great! This is the first time since Savanna was born that we've had professional family pictures done, so it's about time! Savanna also had her 4-year pictures taken, she looks so ladylike in all of them!

Owen also turned 8 months old on Sunday! Our big boy's appetite is definitely increasing and he wants to eat whatever we're eating! Soon enough Owen, soon enough! He's also babbling more and he loves to do whatever his big sister is doing. My favorite thing lately is watching Savanna feed Owen his dinner while I'm cooking dinner for the rest of us. It's so cute!

Here are some pics from our weekend:

Such a little lady:

Crawl, Owen, crawl:

Remodel Complete!

Here are pics of the completed kitchen and master bathroom:



I'm lovin' it!

Latest pics

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. We haven't done much lately since going anywhere far costs a lot of gas money! Gas is about $4.35/gallon, yikes!!


Here are some updated pics of the kids:


Owen is almost fully crawling, he gets up on his knees but won't move his arms:


At the park on a sunny day (we all got some sun):

Can you see Owen's little sunburn (I felt so bad):

Owen loves his Cheerios:
