Here are some new pictures that I have taken this month:



Trying to be just like Mommy:
Savanna is actually pretty good at playing games on the laptop. Owen is playing on a bi-lingual computer that was given to Savanna for Christmas:

Happy Valentine's Day!

Savanna had two Valentine's Day parties at school. One on Thursday and one on Friday. We covered a shoe box in wrapping paper and glued on some hearts and flowers to make it look really cute for when she does her card exchange with her friends. I went to her party on Friday and helped with the cookie decorating. Most of them did their card exchange on Thursday so I didn't get to see them do that. But they had fun and were so anxious to see the different cards and candies that they received.



Savanna's box is the striped one on the bottom:

Savanna made us a really cute frame in her art class. I love the way it turned out!


Then on Valentine's Day, we went to my cousin's house for lunch. After lunch, the kids decorated heart sugar cookies. We got to see my cousin's new baby, Brendan. He is 3 weeks old and so cute and tiny! That seemed like so long ago with Owen!

Then last night, Savanna and I decided to top off our Valentine's weekend by making a strawberry cake! We had fun baking it and then icing it together. I think it came out well and it sure tastes good!!

Student of the Week

Savanna is Student of the Week at school! So last Sunday, we put together a poster with pictures of her growing up and what she likes to do and some of her favorite things. We went to the local art supply store and picked out stickers and she found some flowers that she wanted to glue on to the poster, too. I helped her with the use of my scrapbooking machine and she really loved the way it came out! I think it looks really cute too! Savanna and I are also going to make cupcakes to bring to school on Friday to celebrate her being Student of the Week.
