The Gibbons' Getaway...California here we come!

Savannah has skills; one is loving babies, and this time she even got him to sleep! She and Sawyer are buds.
Daddy did some digging, and found these heads on the beach...

We went to Legoland, and I was reminded of a true favorite...

With the Chia-Buffalo...is there a resemblance to Chia-Brig?
On the boats...Savannah drove, she will be a star at 16...

The boys with one of their favorite characters of all time!

Legoland...the boys have been dreaming about this trip for months, I have used "money for the trip to Legoland" as a bribe, reward, and punishment for the last year...too bad that part is over! (no, not really). Here I am with my date...Tanner is in the yellow shirt...

This was at Seaworld, I don't know if you can see all of us but our expressions are priceless! Poor Savannah, she wasn't sure she wanted to go on any other rides after this...

This ride was a bit more mellow, and obviously the kids were less intimidated! I can't remember the name of this one, but it was similar to Grizzly Bear Rapids at Disneyland.

Waiting for Shamu to come out and wow us. Man, I love this pic. My four favorite people in the world!

We visited Danie and Ryon...they have a new little one, and Tanner nicknamed him "Darth-Sawyer"...doesn't he look a bit like a Jedi in training?!

She's a Star

Savannah didn't just get baptized and have a birthday, she had her dance recital too! What a fun little dancer...(Grandma Kathy, notice her baptism necklace, she hasn't taken it off!)

She and Chloe (best buds) did a jazz number (Girls Just Wanna Have Fun)

and a hip hop number "Move It"

Savannah was picked by her teacher as "Best Dancer" for the year...her trophy is HUGE!! We've never seen anything like it...can't quite figure out where it will fit in her room.

Our Really Big Weekend

So we had an awesome weekend! Saturday, June 6, was Savannah's birthday and also her baptism day. What a good girl we have! I could not have asked for a better day. It was truly awesome. Savannah was a little bit nervous but she did great. Aunt Jodi gave an awesome talk on baptism and Grandpa Larry gave one on the Holy Ghost. He reminded us to listen for the Holy Ghost, Act on what he says and then Write it down. Good advice for me, not just Savannah! I caught a glimpse of the truth that Savannah didn't come to earth to find her worth, she came with it in tact. Now the key is uncovering everything she knew before she started this test, and here's hoping that her mom and dad can get her through the first 18 years (and beyond) ok. I'm waxing sappy, I guess, but it was an eye opening weekend for me. It has taken me this long to just start to sense the magnitude of what we are working on here as a family.

We stayed up late Friday night (Laurie and Josh came from Colorado with family and all the kids partied, so we all went to bed way late) and then we went to bed late Saturday too. Sunday morning church is at 9:00 and we all got home from church ate quick and then decided to see if we could get kids to take a snooze. Dad and Savannah were out in seconds, Tanner read for a bit and then crashed. Isaak was in bed by me for a minute (we have a king size bed so at least four of us fit) but then he got out of bed and I fell asleep before figuring out where he went. We layed down at 2:00 and at 3:00 I woke up and thought I better figure out where Isaak was...I searched the whole house and finally came back up and woke Tanner up to see where he had last seen Isaak. Tanner pointed at the other side of the bed. I looked underneath and there's Isaak crashed under the bed. They all slept that way for another hour. Wow, it was a record. Never before have I had all five of us asleep at one time during the DAY! And nobody even called while we were asleep!
