Happy Birthday Savannah!

Savannah is 3!!! I can hardly believe it. She's such a fun little girl with lots to say about everything. We started the day letting her open a present from us...the Littlest Petshop Clubhouse. She loves it and carried her "kids" around all day (any type of animal is her "kid" and she now has 8 petshop "kids"). I love it because it closes up with all of the animals inside...instant storage.Savannah wanted to use her Dora "beach" toys for her cake. The only way I could get Dora and Boots to stand was to bury them a little in the "sand." Savannah's excited to go to the beach for the first time when we go visit Aunt Carrie in June (near Washington D.C.).
Pretty happy with her haul...and she doesn't even know what's in them yet! She got a cute polka-dot dress from the Strongs, a new laundry hamper for her room, a couple of books and a little Dora "play" blanket.
Grandma & Grandpa LeSueur gave her this Dora & Diego Aquadoodle mat. As you can see, the boys were just as excited about it as Savannah was.
Yes, her pigtail almost caught on fire just as I was taking the picture. I was also holding the video camera and didn't notice...luckily Dallin saw it and saved her beautiful hair.
Dallin & the kids playing with the Aquadoodle. If you've never seen one they're pretty cool. It's a sort of cloth mat that's waterproof underneath. You fill up the little pen with water. It turns blue when you write but then dries out after a few minutes. This particular mat has a Dora car that will follow the lines you draw (there's a little sensor underneath). I think even Dallin was impressed.

Connor learned a new word today..."Dora." He says Mama & Dadda and can sort of say "all done," "more," and "milk." But he heard Dora on the TV today and yells "Do-ah!" Then he kept saying it anytime he saw something with Dora. Still can't say any of his siblings names...but we'll keep working on it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNT STEPHANIE!
Savannah was born on her Aunt Stephanie's birthday (Dallin's sister)!
(Side note: 3 of our kids were born on relative's birthdays...Jacob on my Aunt Colleen's and Connor on my Grandmother's.)

Savannah is such a cute girlie girl that also is great when she comes to my house and plays with cars and tools. Looks like she had a fun birthday. Does she want some princess gloves and a ring that McDonald's gave us in a happy meal?
