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.

Baby

Here are some updated pictures since these sweet darlings change so fast. Savanna is doing well, she is a good baby and is more and more alert each day. Her siblings adore her and she loves to be held. She is extremely tolerant to noise (being #5 she ought to be!) and is a joy to our family already.
