3 week old pictures-taken by the lovely Amber Masters

So these took me a really long time to post. Doesn't she look so little?

Thanks Amber for taking these awesome pictures and being so patient!!

David Graduated!

This is late. David graduated last month! So proud of him working as hard as he does. Here he comes UVU!

2 month(ish) Dr visit and visitors

Went in for our Dr visit...which took FOREVER but anyway...Savannah was in the 97th percentile for height, 35th  for weight and 65th for head circumference! She's starting to fit into the 3 month clothes but only because she is so long. She also got her immunizations-I cried just as much as she did. Seriously, I can't handle it. But she was a champ and only cried until I picked her up when they were done. But still those tears!!! She was a fussy so David and I cancelled our plans to go to the Temple. We did discover how much she loves baths though! Not in the bath chair but just with me holding her head and she kicks, splashes like crazy and squeals. I will have to get some pictures and post them later.

This my niece Reese who loves to hold Savannah. She came over and went straight to the sink to wash her hands so she "tould hold Savannah." She is such a sweet girl.

Auntie Amber got Savannah to giggle and laugh! Yes I'm kinda' jealous that Savy doesn't think I'm funny :) jk

I tried to catch it on video but the stinker stopped as soon as I would hold it up.

Yes I have taught her how to box ;) she has always got on fist up to her face, just to be ready! My hand just ended up all weird because of how I laid down....although I'm realistically more of a fighter than Savannah will ever be I'm sure.

Wendy kept grabbing at my shades so I put them on her! ha ha so cute. It was SOO nice to hang out with Aimee and Laura for the day last week. I was really missing Aimee lately too since I hadn't seen her since Savannah was born....It seemed like forever ago. Wendy is a doll-I love those faces she makes.

Terribly blurry but I realized this picture is a little like Aimee and I. Savannah (me) is grabbing her hair and being an obviously a stinker. Wendy (Aimee) is sneakily pinching the leg but getting her payback!

She loves her knuckles these days. 

Lake Tahoe

 We love LOVE LOVE Lake Tahoe! I think we will make it an annual thing while we are here in the west. If you haven't been there...you SHOULD go! Of course we landed in the one no-so-great-weather week. But, we still had a blast! It was just what we needed. 5 days away, reading what we wanted (mostly for David to have a break from text books), sleeping, sitting by the campfire, making new friends, and most importantly sitting on the beach. Just sitting. Funny how rejuvenating some sand and sun can be. The water there is perfect! Perfectly clear, perfectly blue, and perfect temperature.

So yeah, the weather. Rainy in the afternoon but we did have one solid day of sun. Rain is our curse...we could go to the Sahara and it would rain on us. Oh well :) But then, on our last day the smoke from the massive Yosemite fire blew over us! It was 100 miles away but still. By Thursday afternoon we couldn't see across the lake. By Friday morning it was harder to breath and you couldn't see 400 yards across the lake. Took us several hours of driving to get out of it too. I worried about Savy because I was feeling sick from the smoke.

Yet again I put a ton of pictures on and I tried to be selective....tried. Savannah was a gem. The drive, the camping, the fires. Man, she's TOO good....kinda' freaking me out. 'What!? A kid of Nicole's peaceful and sweet!? Strange.' Yeah I know you all were thinking it :)

 Angel 

 We even love the tress here! Ponderosa Pines, Sequoia's, and some aspen.

Our beach was a two minute walk from our campsite.

One day we will get a cute family pic....we always look ridiculous in 'selfies'...good thing we have adorable Savannah

She was so patient while we set things up and while I made breakfast...She looks like an elf when the beanie slides up :) so cute. 

Even the Nike's (socks) were no match for those constantly moving legs.

The water is SOO clear...not sure about that dark spot in the picture though

Dad was making us a fire! I love love campfires and so did Savannah!

Weird yet pretty smokey skies.

Campfire cuddle time

One of our favorite views around the lake. Usually when there isn't SOO much cloud cover the water is bright blue and green. Here it looks mostly like BC Canada!

More of our beach

She slept in the sleeping bag with a us a few night because it got really cold-no we didn't mind :)

Our new friends Blossom and John! We had so much fun talking and sitting on the beach with them! Great conversations. They loved Savannah! Loved her.

Does anyone else get really suspicious of people that are really really nice?? it sounds stupid but whenever someone stops to talk about Savannah I think they want to take her....ha well no one did. Blossom was super cautious with Savy-"oh she seems cold" or "keep her out of the sun John"

It was nice to meet and hang out with them. We wouldn't mind running into them again at Tahoe next year.

Car rides

Savannah was again awesome! I would pump and then we would stop and feed her and let her out of the car seat for a few minutes. The only times she had a hard time were my fault for not being fast enough on the pump-but nursing takes sooo long sometimes.

I favorite thing is while in the car those long little legs are just going a hundred miles a minute and you can hear her feet rubbing on the car seat- I love that sound. And those legs are all I can see when I look  back.
