A big blog

I got on the computer and realized it's been awhile since I've updated everyone on our family's life. There is a lot to tell! I can't believe a month of summer vacation is already finished. I will post some of the last of school and post another blog of our first month of summer later.
Alex's 2nd grade class performed "Peter Cottontail" he was so excited for me to come to see what they had been working on for so long at school!
Abigail made this flower in Kindergarten and I just love how cheery and happy it is, it's still hanging up. It rained for nearly a month here and this flower made the days brighter! It's almost as big as she is. :)
Brittany made this pop-up book in 4th grade this year and she wrote the story all by herself, I loved it so I took these pictures so she could "read" it to all of you and you can all enjoy it too! She is so creative and does well in art!







Well we finished up the baseball season with games every night of the week between the three children (yes Alex played too but I never got a picture of him).
Here is Abigail ready to bat, and her throwing the ball. What a cutie!
Brittany on base! This was a regular sight, she enjoys ball, does really well and even got invited to try out for the all-stars team but you have to travel to places as far as Bear Lake for games...no thank you, we'll get to that in H.S.
Hitting the ball is the best part of baseball in my opinion, go Brittany! I got to watch almost all their games from the inside of the car with Savanna- the cold, rain and wind didn't agree with her. She's already logged more time at ball games in her short life than most!
The end of school music program, here is Alex and his grade singing "Colors of the Wind" from Pocahontas. He wanted to keep his ribbon he had so much fun.

Here is Brittany playing the recorder. They really sounded great, their teacher had accompaniment for their song which made it very fun!

Hot Dogs

The weather has been nice and we were invited to have our first hot dog roast at Dad and Mom Penfold's. It was yummy and lots of fun, I especially like all three Penfold men in the background roasting their dinner. I am hoping for many more of these to follow.

The ballerina

Abigail had her first ballet recital last Saturday May 30. She did a great job and more important she had fun.

Baby Blessing

Here is our new little...big family! The more people in a picture the funnier the expressions.
This is the entire Pryor side of the family.
This is the Penfold family minus Hailey's family.



On Sunday, May 24 we blessed Savanna in church. She was blessed in the dress that I was blessed in almost 32 years ago! It made it very special. Thank you to all the family who came, almost everyone was there and even a few cousins, an aunt and uncle and friends were there. We enjoyed dinner after church and because it was raining, I'm grateful our home could hold the 40 people that were there! I'm grateful for everyone who helped bring food as well, we have such an awesome family.
Then Monday was Memorial Day and we went to Teton to honor the veterans and loved ones at the cemetery there. We had a fun picnic at my Grandpa's with the family once again. Thank you to my Dad and Mom for coming early to help me get ready for this fun weekend and thank you to my mom-in-law and cousin for letting everyone else sleep in your homes this time.
Savanna is now sleeping up to seven hours, not consistently yet, but she can do it. She is a good baby and the children still love smothering and loving her. Thank goodness she is so tolerant of all the loving!

Mother's Day Morning

I woke up last Sunday morning (Mother's Day) (okay I am posting this late) to my children bringing me breakfast in bed that Wyatt had made for me. What a happy surprise it was and nice to enjoy an uninterrupted meal that was warm when I finished it. My yummy meal consisted of hashbrowns and a fried egg (my favorite), strawberries, fried plantain, juice and sausage. Pretty great huh? I have a wonderful family, the children all made very cute things in school to give me and they wrote the nicest notes. I had the opportunity to sing with a friend in Sacrament Meeting so Wyatt got to stay home with Savanna while I went to enjoy the Mother's Day program!

One Month!

Savanna is 1 month old today. It only feels like it's been 2 weeks so how the time flies. We have enjoyed a new baby and not the sleepless nights but that comes with the territory. Here are some pictures of Savanna.
Alex is such a sweet big brother, he loves to feed his sister. He likes how she keeps the spirit in our home :)
Brittany is so grown-up and such a nice help to have around! Her friends are all jealous that she has a baby to play with. She likes Savanna!
Abigail is Savanna's mini-mother, always holding her. Parker says, "Sananna is soo tute" all the time, holds her for 30 second intervals often and let's me know when he needs me to put "Sananna down."
Right before bath time! Look at those big eyes!
This was almost midnight, she is way too alert for this hour, we're working on the day and night thing. But Mommy and Baby were having a photo session.
I couldn't believe she picked her head up this high at 3 1/2 weeks. I guess she wants to be like the big kids!

More snow!

Well it is Driggs and we do live at 6500 ft but come on it is May and I've heard all you Utahns have mowed your lawns! We haven't even thought about lawn mowers yet :)
This is what we woke up to the other day and it's snowed twice since, see what you're all missing?
The children were concerned that the flowers were ruined by the snow but they are hearty breeds here and when the snow melted (it never stays past the afternoon this time of year) they perked right back up thus no flower damage.
