...and I'll cry if I want to!
Finally some pictures! These were taken on Savvy's third birthday. We went to the BYU games center to bowl and then back to our place for cake. Fun day!
Cade was the most excited about bowling. He did great!
Soon-to-delilver Becca and Little Bear
Kyle's buddy Russ joined us for the festivities. Well, he just happened to be at the games center when we were. I think this is when he was talking about a girl he was dating. He seems happy. :)
Aunt Dee and the boys spoiled her with a princess outfit complete with a crown and Becca gave her a princess book (which she has now memorized so she can help Cade sound out the hard words when he's reading it to her. It's pretty cute.) and a box of Lucky Charms.
Cake time! I wasn't feeling very good so I took Savvy to the store and told her she could pick out ANY cake she wanted. She chose Oreo Chocolate. My daughter? Yes, she is. If you can believe it, I didn't have a single bite of that cake. So sad.

The day I brought our little Savannah home from the hospital, I could feel a different spirit in the home. It was amazing to me how each child has their own special spirits, and hers was unique. I remember holding her all day just wishing I could make time stand still. Though time has passed too quickly, I have cherished each moment I have spent with her and have loved watching her grow into the independent, joyful and strong-willed child that she is.
Savannah has always seemed so eager to progress. I was unsuccessful in my attempts to thwart her efforts to crawl, then walk, and I almost can't remember when she couldn't speak in full sentences. She's always in Cade's shadow, expecting to be able to master the next trick he has.
I love how she and Cade are best friends. Though they are nearly 3 years apart, they play so well together. It's a special bond the two of them have, and it warms my heart to see the great love they share.
I am looking forward to her upcoming role as a big sister, yet sad to lose her as my baby. At least I have a few more months.
Happy Birthday, Savvy. You are my sunshine.
Love,
Mom

Savannah can put a smile on my face quicker than anything. I love how she is so fearless.
Happy Birthday Savy!!
Oh she's a doll! I love that first picture - what a face!!!
Savannah was easily one of the prettiest babies I have ever had the privilege of knowing. Those black eyes and darling round face...I just love that last picture of her.
I still haven't ever forwarded you the picks from her second birthday! Seems like we celebrated in a similar oreo fashion last year, too. Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday Savvy! We sure love you! That was so fun going bowling with you guys...although I probably didn't seem like much fun there since I was an ornery 9-month prego lady. :) Now that I'm starting to get the hang of things and getting a tad bit more of sleep I think the funner aunt becca is back.
and that's so cute about savannah and cade with the princess book. such cute kiddos you have!
It was fun learning more about Savannah's personality. Sounds like a very fun way to celebrate!
