Welcome to our home

2011-10-27T22:19:00.000-07:00

I have finally had some time to take some pictures and blog about our new house. We are finally settled and feeling great! Things aren't completely perfect. (I am always wanting to do more improvements) I guess it is just the woman in me. :) I want to paint some fun colors, re-tile the kitchen and bathrooms and do some major yard work. Despite all of the things that "aren't done" we are finally HOME! This place is so comfy, warm and cozy. We love it here, and Beau is loving it too. He did fantastic with the move and we couldn't be happier. We are enjoying our ward. Kameron has been called into the Primary and I have been called to be on the Relief Society Planning Commitee. I can't wait to get involved. Here are a few pics of our home.

It is decked out with our HALLOWEEN decorations. It is that time of year. :) Still tons to do. I am still trying to figure out my style and still trying to bring it all together. One day I will get it. We love our house and when we get more done, I will share.

Love,

Sorry we have been missing in action for these past few months.

We are doing swell. :)

We have bought a home and things are coming together slowly but surely.

I can't wait to post pictures and tell you all about it when we are finally all situated and put together.

Love you guys! :)

A whole year and a half

Our sweet Beau just turned 18 months! He is turning into such the biggest boy. Where did our baby go?? We love this picutre because it portrays all of the things that this 18 month old likes to do. He runs around with his shirt off and then gathers up all of his animals to put into the back of his dump truck. He then dumps them out and does it all over again. :) He has been obsessed with animals lately. He will gather them and line them up in certain orders. This will keep him entertained for quite a while. He is also obsessed with a show on Nikelodeon called Bubble Guppies. If we let him, he would watch it all day, everyday. We have to be honest and say that is has been awesome for us to find something that catches his attention so well so mommy and daddy can get a few things done. The Savage family is happy and doin' swell!

Cheers!

Get-Away

2011-06-29T12:49:00.000-07:00

Fish Lake was wonderful! Having Beau a whole year older really made a difference for us this year. Our time up at Fish Lake is always too short. I could honestly live up there. It is constantly so calm and peaceful. Then I remember that I am a city girl and I probably wouldn't last a month in that small of a town. :)
We are grateful for the time that we do get to spend in such a breath-taking place and can't wait to return.

Beau and Grandpa relaxed on the deck.

Beau loves to hear Grandpa talk to him and teach him new words.

Uncle Kolton took Beau on a lot of horse rides. Beau was terrified at first.

We went on BEAUTIFUL walks everyday.
(Don't mind my pose here. I am not sure what I am doing.)

Beau absolutley HATED his life jacket. It was a little too big and scrunched his face.

Then he started to get used to it. Thank goodness! It was breaking my heart and I wanted to take it off of him.

We ran around, laughed, and played.

Had lots of cuddle time before bed.

Roasted marshmallows and made smores. YUMMMM.

Beau was a good boy and we are so proud of him. He is so much fun to take places and we enjoy his cute personality.

The Oregon Coast

2011-06-14T13:13:00.000-07:00

Kameron's grandpa was so kind and let us stay in his beach house for a few days to celebrate our anniversary. Our annniversary was about a month ago, but this was the soonest we could get away.The house was absolutley gorgeous and was right on the beach, minus a 60 foot cliff drop. We did so many wonderful things such as; going to the aquarium, wax museum, Ripley's believe-it-or-not museum, walking on the beach, eating delicious sea food, lighting floating lanterns, whale watching, watching movies and just relaxing. A get-away for us was long over do and we are so happy we were able to spend this time together. We are best friends and have an absolute blast together!

Before leaving to go to the Coast. A couple of girls and I ran in the DIRTY DASH! It was a blast and I can't wait to do it again next year.

This Boy loves to strip down to his diaper and play in the fountains that are in our backyard. Can you tell how excited it makes him?

Our first day in Oregon.

The cute red door of Kameron's, Grandpan's beach house.

Enjoying the view of the Ocean. Our back yard was the beach.

Jelly Fish at the Aquarium.

We could touch and feel all of these sea creatures.

Jonny Depp at the wax museum. Too bad he wasn't real!

These fat, lazy sea lions would sleep like this forever. The one in the front is so cute and chubby!

Our back yard.

A great get-away with each other. Much needed.

Oregon is known for their blown glass.

We had to give it a try. So much fun!

We could not get enough of the view.

On the beach, getting ready to light and release our lanterns. (Tangled stye)

Ours took off and flew so high, out of sight.

Whale watching.

I feel happy.

2011-06-01T12:21:00.000-07:00

Because I get to hang out with this Chunky Monkey every day. What would I do without these chubby cheeks to smooch and squeeze every day? I have no idea. I am so happy to have him in my life.

A wonderful weekend :]

2011-05-09T09:41:00.000-07:00

Kameron and I have been officially married for 3 whole years. Can you believe it?? May 7th was the special day. :)

Our day was fabulous. We started off the day with a win for Kam's football team. Then we went to lunch and did a little shopping for Mother's day. That afternoon, we went and saw The Conspirator. We both really enjoyed it. After, we headed up to the gateway to do some more shopping before our dinner at the Melting Pot. Dinner was unbelievable! It is one of our favorite places to eat. It was nice to have a day to ourselves and to celebrate our LOVE. 3 YEARS AND GOING STRONG!

My Mother's Day was very special. Church was great. Kameron took Beau so I could enjoy relief society and it was very nice. We went to lunch with my mom who I just love and adore. I am one blessed girl to have such an amazing, selfless, and righteous example in my life. I thank her for playing a HUGE role in who I am today. I also feel doubley blessed to have an outstanding Mother-in-law. I am in awe of the special man that Kameron is and have Cecily to thank for that. Lastly, I am proud to be a mom. I have the best son and I feel honored to be his mom. It was a great weekend! Happy Monday to you all!

A walk in the park

2011-04-12T12:13:00.000-07:00

Beau is officialy our adventure man. There isn't a day that goes by that he doesn't beg me to take him outside so he can wander around and get dirty.( eat some mud... ) Our adventures this day took us to the beautiful sugar house park.

Beau crawled through the tunnel quite a few times. He kept yelling and loved the way it echoed in there.

He is such a happy little chunker.We can't believe that he is almost 16 months. Time has flown by!

Some facts about Beau now.

He loves to eat anything!! He is only taking one nap a day for about 2 hours. He sleeps from 8:30-7:00. He almost has 12 teeth now and he screams like none other. (plug your ears peeps!) He is so smart and loves to be independent. He can basically understand everything that we say to him and we love to watch him respond.

My birthday was a few weeks ago. The big 22! Kam and my family made it such a wonderful day. Since 2 is my favorite number. I am hoping the this year will be a great one. :)

Barber Shop

2011-03-02T12:48:00.000-08:00

Since we took Beau to Lake Powell last Summer, he has not been in the water (other than the bath tub) since. So when our good friends invited us to a little swimming party, we were excited to see Beau back in the water!

He did not enjoy it one little bit! Even with Daddy holding him, he still would shake and scream. The pool was quite full with screaming kids everywhere. So, we are thinking that this did not help him feel comfortable.

Beau found a comfy chair and just sat and watched everyone. He had more fun doing this than actually being in the water. Beau didn't have a swimming suit that fit him, so we made a quick walmart stop and had to get a big boy suit. It absolutely drowned him! Theyy basically touched his ankles. :)

Finallly, we were able to get him to sit in a puddle next to the pool. He splashed and had fun playing with Kam.

Beau's first hair cut was a success! His hair was getting so long in place and kept getting stuck on top of his ears. It was driving me NUTSO!

So we just decided to buzz it all the same length. It turned out really well, and he actually enjoyed it. :)

I saved some of his baby hair for his book. He loved to hold it and didn't want to let it go.

Beau is such a good boy! We can't believe how big he is getting. Love you Buddy!

Life as we know it

2011-02-18T20:08:00.000-08:00

Has been so wonderful! We have been extremely busy. SOooo sorry for the lack of posting!!

We took Beau on his first sledding trip. He was in Heaven and had so much fun. :) Daddy had a blast too!

Beau has grown into such a big helper. He was holding all of the tools when Kam was building this hutch.

Bath time is Beau's FAVORITE time of day. We normally bathe 2 times a day because he loves to play.

We love to spell words and play with all of the tubby toys. Beau has also learned to splash..... GRAND!!

Beau's Marmy (my mom) bought him this chair. He uses it as his jungle gym. It makes me a tad bit nervous!

He jumps off of it, falls off of it and then climbs right back on it. :) He is a little dare devil!!!!

I love this little man. He is such a HAM! He laughs constantly, occasionally screams :) and gives lots of love!

Beau will be 14 months at the end of this month. He is our whole world and we can't get enough of him!
He has learned many tricks. He loves to blow kisses, give actual kisses, dances like nobody is watching, does a head stand, waves bye bye, knows where every part of the face is and loves the belly! :)
His favortie words are Mommy, Daddy, Nanny and BaBa.
I love to watch him grow and learn new things everyday! It is so so amazing to see how quickly he absorbs information. :) Wow!!!!
Love you all!!!

Opinions Please.....

2011-01-14T12:35:00.000-08:00

So, I have loved the style and ease of my pixie hair cut. But, yet again, I am in need of a change. I am thinking about growing my hair out to a style like this. I am in love with the really short A-line look. What are your thoughts?? Please Share :)

Recently......

2011-01-03T20:10:00.000-08:00

Our Mr. Beau turned ONE!

We had the absolute best time at Beau's party. There was a huge storm the night of the event that kept many from making it. We were sad and missed them all. But, we are also happy that you were all safe!

We still had tons of family and friends come and we partied the night away.We enjoyed pizza and salad for dinner. It was deliciouso! Beau was so stinkin' cute! He started out great with lots of laughs and snickers.

Mommy - Beau - Daddy

Aunt Jentry Jo - Marmy - Big Poppy

Grandma Susan - Nanna - Uncle Kolton - Grandpa

Uncle Kolton - Maddy

Beau was so excited about his cake he didn't even want to wait a second to take a few pictures!

Ah Ha! I have got you now!

Going in for the kill

Beau got super messy after this family picutre and was in need of a quick tubby before presents.

Marmy and Poppy gave Beau some cute doggies and a book to go with. :)

Nanna and Grandpa gave Beau some cute toys and clothes! He is going to be one stylin man for quite some time now. :) Thanks!!

Thanks Aunt Tree for the tractor and cute Puma shoes!

By the end of the night, the only thing that would make Beau happy was this green balloon. He was such a trooper! Love you buddy, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

P.S. We had Beau's one year appoinment today. He had his shots and this is the hardest he has ever cried! Talk about breaking my heart into pieces! He is one big fella. Today he came in weighing a whopping 28lbs and he was 32 inches tall. The doctor was very impressed and said that our AMAZING parenting skills show through his growth and development. ;) That really made us feel good. Thanks Doc!

But, mostly, thank you Beau. Thank you for teaching your Dad and I to be more patient. To love more than we ever thought possible and to strive to be all around better people. You are one amazing kid and such a strong spirit. We can feel your incredible strength already. You are our pride and joy.

Happy Birthday!

Love, Mom and Dad

Savage Family Christmas

2010-12-27T14:29:00.000-08:00

Christmas was wonderful this year! We started off by celebrating Grandma Savage's birthday where Beau devoured a chocolate pepperment cake! That is why he is so happy and messy in this picutre. :)

Christmas eve was spent with both of our families. We went to Kameron's Aunt's beautiful home up immigration canyon for a scrumptious dinner. It was so fun to see everyone and to enjoy great company. After dinner we met my family at Temple square to see the lights. (That will be a whole different post. )

We came home and had our little tired Beau open his Christmas Eve jammies. He couldn't have been more precious. He could not wait to get wrapped up in his blankie and drink his "Ba-Ba"

During the holidays we made and frosted sugar cookies with some of Beau's cousins. He loves Lily and Sophia so much. They have the cutest little relationship. And the cookies were delicious!!

Chirstmas Eve Dinner.

Opening our Chirstmas eve gifts before we went to bed.

Waking up bright and early Christmas morning. With the annual stair picture. Don't we look pretty??

Beau going to open his presents.

Santa brought Beau a Walker/Scooter. He loved this!! He pushed it around the whole house all morning :)

We had Christmas breakfast and Kam's grandpa's house. We all ate so much, our bellies hurt!!

Christmas turned out fabulous! Thanks to everyone who made it so great for our little family. We love you!

Santa.... Scary Monster???

2010-12-14T07:01:00.000-08:00

We were so excited for Beau to finally meet Santa at our Savage Family Chistmas party. He is so easy going, will go to absolutely anyone and doesn't ever seem afraid. We all guessed that he would just sit on Santa's lap and maybe give him some wierd looks. We were very, very wrong! Beau was a wreck!! This jolly old santa was a big scary MONSTER to this little man. Poor guy! Maybe we will have better luck next year. :) Merry Christmas All!

Cancun Ya'll!

2010-12-09T10:23:00.000-08:00

We had the most amazing Thanksgiving ever in Cancun. Picture overload! It was warm.. but quite humid. That is why all of our hair is looking like we just walked out of a professional beauty salon. and we didn't wear any makeup! :) We stayed at the most beautiful resort. The Westin Villas. We lounged at the beach and pool. Visited and climed the most amazing Mayan Ruins; Chitzen' Itza, Ecbulom, Coba and Tilum. Spelling is for sure wrong on the second one. These were, without a doubt, the most amazing part of the trip. We can't describe it in words. We went on a mormon tour of the ruins and the spirit was so strong. We spent a day at a fun place named Xplor. We swam through an underground river and did a zip line. For thanksgiving we ate a Crab house and it was a great subsitute for a turkey dinner... but not quite as good! We missed that this year! All in all we had a fabulous thanksgiving we Thank everyone who made it possible and such an enjoyable time for us! We love you!

Fall Family Photo Shoot

2010-11-15T10:12:00.000-08:00

We had a super "fun" photo shoot with our cute little family. One of my friends from highschool did them.

Ali is so talented and I would recommend her to all of you! :) Check out her blog! http://alimicekphotography.blogspot.com/ I put fun in quotations because it was far from fun for poor little Beau. It was freezing cold and the little man only lasted 20 min! If that..........

I was looking forward to these fun photos and was really disappointed when our shoot got cut short. But I think that they turned out super cute and I am very happy with them.

Thanks Ali! You are so great and we appreciate all that you did for us!

Thankful.....

More Halloween Festivities!

2010-10-30T19:53:00.000-07:00

Our next fun activity was a Halloween party at Kameron's work. This was too much fun. Yummy food and all of the kids went around to all of the desks trick-or-treating. Beau was the cutest pumpkin around!

It was fun to be ablet to spend a whole 2 hours with Daddy at work! Beau didn't want to leave... even though it was far past nap time.

Look at this cheeser. We were trying to get him to smile forever and he decided to humor us with this face. We think it turned out pretty cute! :)

We carved pumpkins with the Savage fam and it was a whole bunch of fun! Beau was not shy at all when it came to carving the pumpkin. He wanted to help out with every step of the process.

He was even putting it in his mouth and apparently liked it because he continued to do it even after some very stern "NO's!"

We needed a bath in a bad way after our pumpking carving. He sorta smelled... okay he smelled ALOT!

Then we went down to visit Nanna and Poppa J. We loved watching football and eating Taco's with them!

Pictures with the "Withcy Poo". Happy Halloween everyone! Hope you had a great one and continue to celebrate!!

Cheers to more of an AMAZING HOLIDAY SEASON! Love you guys!

Trunk Or Treat

2010-10-27T09:13:00.000-07:00

Happy 1st Halloween to Beau! This Halloween Holiday has many fun activites that I will post about later, but Beau's first event was the Trunk or Treat. :) He was absolutely adorable!

Beau was Pooh Bear. Nanna Cecily had this costume all ready for a grandchild to come along. It fit perfectly! Kameron's cute cousins came with us as a gypsy and cat woman.

Beau has 4 teeth in now. His two bottom and two top. He has started to grind them together making the most awful noise! This drives me bonkers and I am constantly telling him to stop! I hope he doesn't do it much longer. He is grinding his teeth in the picture below..... BIG TROUBLE MISTER!

I wish that this picture was more clear. Darn! Look at these good lookin' boys!

Best Buds! Beau the Bear and Rush the Chicken. These boys are going to have a blast growing up together!

There you have it! The first of many fun years to come of dressing up and having fun!

Nine Months......Really?!!!

2010-10-06T09:54:00.000-07:00

It is so hard for us to believe that we have had Beau here with us longer than I was pregnant with him. Which felt like FOREVER!!! He is the most adorable thing we have ever seen and we are so proud to be his parents! He brings so much happiness, joy and bliss to our lives. Everyday is an adventure and is exciting! He has so much character and the greatest personality. Here are some facts about our big 9 month old Boy!

* Beau now weights 23 pounds and is 30 inches tall

* He is now crawling all over the place and loves to pull himself up on everything! His favorite place to play is by the bath tub. He has learned to open and close the curtain. This keeps him entertained for hours while I get ready.

* He is on a great schedule now. WOO HOO! He sleeps through the night. 8:30-6:30. Yeah he gets up a bit early but he takes two 2 hr naps a day. Which is wonderful. I get so much done!!

* I am finished nursing and Beau is completely on formula. He loves his "ba-ba's" When I am making one he will scream and flap his arms like bird ready to take flight :)

* He is such a great eater. He will eat anything. His favorites are pasta, corn and mashed potaoes.

* He has his two bottom teeth in and his two top teeth are popping through now. He has handled teething great! Other than a runny nose, he has been an angel!

* He absolutely hates to have his diaper changed and clothes changed. He screams and fights us the whole time. He is a strong little bugger too. So this is hard sometimes.

* He is our whole world and we are grateful for hime!!

Too Much Fun!

2010-10-04T09:00:00.000-07:00

    Our South Dakota trip was quite the experience! It was hard traveling with a tired baby, hitting delays after delays and then having a canceled flight in Minnesota at midnight! But, having Jenner there with me was such a huge help. I am so thankful for her help and patience. When we finally arrived in Sioux Falls it was wonderful. To see Jaygan again was like waking up on Christmas morning as a little kid. I could not sit still on the plane! Jayg and Jon treated us to a great weekend. They are the best! :)

    It was so much fun to see their cute apartment and to see the town that they live in. Where they work and go to school. Siouix Falls is Gorgeous! Every street is lined with trees of beautiful fall colors. The air was crisp and comfortable. It was awesome, finally, to be able to feel fall in the air. Instead of sweating to death!

    The first night we had dinner at the Kavanaugh's house. A very cute family in their ward. Saturday, Jaygan took us to Falls Park. This place was INCREDIBLE! Every one should try to go there sometime :) We snacked and watched movies then got ready to go to Jonny's football game. He is such a stud!!! They won 44-0. Beau loved the game and I let him crawl on the field afterwards. Can't wait till he is old enough to play. Sunday was relaxing. Watched bits and pieces of conference and then had to head to the air port. The goodbye was really hard. Jayg was extremely emotional, so of course we ALL were. Such a fun trip had to end so soon. But we are so happy for the memories that we were able to make!

Beau was such a trooper! Thanks, Buddy!

Incredible?! Or what??

Beau was fascinated with the sound of the water.

Beau and Aunt Jentry :)

Love my Twin!

Watch out Beau.....Here comes a spankin'

Go COUGARS!

Such a pretty night.

Good Job Jon!

We couldn't love you guys more! We are blessed with such great Family!

South Dakota Here I Come!

2010-09-14T08:48:00.000-07:00

My sister Jenner and I are lucky enough at the end of this month to be able to Fly out to Sioux Falls to visit Jon and Jayg! We are so excited to be able to visit the beautiful water falls they have around where they live. We also get to watch one of Jonny's games!! It is going to be so much fun. I can't wait to post about our adventures! :) Stay tuned!

Family Fun at Fish Lake

2010-09-07T13:00:00.000-07:00

For Labor day we decided to get away. This year we went to Fish Lake. We had so much fun together and Beau couldn't have been a better boy! :) We went fishing and beau loved holding the pole. He thought it was so fun to chew on the handle. He has to be gettting teeth in. When are those guys going to pop through??! The weather was beautiful and we could not get enough of the view. We played cards and watched movies. Sunday morning, before church, we went on a walk and the air was so crisp. We could feel Fall there and it made us so excited for the upcoming Holidays. We are grateful for such a beautiful place on this Earth to enjoy.

Happy Birthday Big Poppa!

2010-08-18T21:51:00.000-07:00

Today my dad turned the big 59! I am lucky to be the daughter of such an amazing man. I truly love him with all of my heart and I owe everything to him. This Guy does it all! Takes care of his family and still kicks trash in sports! :) You are the bomb dot com Daddio!!! You rock! Love you! Happy Birthday!

Heaven On Earth

2010-08-15T13:50:00.000-07:00

Kameron and I had the best time at the temple Saturday morning! We wanted to go to Draper, but we found out the hard way that it was closed for cleaning when we pulled up and there wasn't a car to be found in the parking lot! So we took the trek over to the Jordan River Temple. We did a session in spanish! It was so interesting! Kameron is fluent in spanish, but I am not quite there...... I still felt the same strong spirit and I was so happy we did it.

I love the temple and the peace I feel when there.

Happy Sabbath everyone :)

Sundance Summer Theatre!

2010-08-01T17:49:00.000-07:00

I was so fortunate to have Kameron offer to watch Beau so I could go spend the evening with my family up in BEAUTIFUL provo canyon! We went to see Huckleberry Finn and it was so entertaining. While I really enjoyed it, I was also missing my boys back at home. Wish that Beau was old enough to come any have fun at such an event. Someday soon :)

2010-07-12T18:59:00.000-07:00

Beau loves to eat.....as much as he can...of everything!! He used to be so stubborn. He would not take a bite of anything. Recently, that has all changed! He LOVES food. I am very grateful that he has made a complete 360 turn. This unique little guy also is obsessed with apple juice! You have to have strength to pry that bottle out of his hands. Beau is keeping us on our toes and we couldn't be happier :) Here are some facts about Beau:
* He takes two naps a day, sometimes 3
* He goes to bed between 8 and 9 and is up around the same time in the morning
* As of his 6 mo. appointment he was over 19lbs and 28 inches long
* He can sit up all by himself and loves to play with his toys
* He is a gabber and loves to talk to himself constantly
* He loves to smile and we can't get enough of it :)

The time has come.....

2010-07-08T19:55:00.000-07:00

Lake Powellooski

2010-07-08T09:28:00.000-07:00

For Beau's six-month-old vacation we took him to Lake Powell! He was super cute and such a good baby the whole time. We were even lucky enough to be able to fly down there. Beau just relaxed in his car seat the whole time. He loved the water and we had so much fun letting him explore in it, since Lake Powell will be a big part of his life. He enjoyed the boat rides, just not the wind. We made him a bed on some pillows under a towel and he just played. I think that it is adorable that this little guy always likes to have his feet crossed! We made some many fun memories with family. We are also happy that we survived Beau's first long vacation away from home!!

2010-06-24T10:19:00.000-07:00

This past Sunday, I was listening to FM100 and this great song came on. I am sad to say that I cannot remember the artist or title of the song. :( But the lyrics most certainly touched me and they were just what I needed to hear.

"If I lose my way, He will find me. If I forget who I am, He will remind me. It is a long, long road and I don't have to make it on my own."

Sometimes in our busy, chaotic lives, we let frustrations and small things get us upset or down. Then, we are sweetly reminded that we are children of God and as His children we are all blessed to have a Savior that will find us, reminds us and walk beside us. I am eternally grateful for the peace that brings to me and I know to all of you. :)

Best Dad Award goes to.... Kameron Savage!

2010-06-21T14:15:00.001-07:00

Now, I know that there are a lot of "BEST" dads out there. But, Kameron is the BEST dad for Beau. I know that Beau was sent to be Kameron's son for a reason. They are a perfect match, two peas in a pod. :)Beau loves to play with Daddy and pick his nose. Kameron is nice enough to put up with it :) I love you Kam. Thanks for being a fabulous dad and husband. We are the lucky ones.

Beau's play date with Harper and Kapri was so much fun! They sure are a funny bunch and make us laugh with their little voices and personalities. Being a mom is the best! And having your best friends be moms at the same time is fantastic! :)

Long time, No blogging!

2010-06-18T14:48:00.000-07:00

Lots to catch up on! First off, my beautiful twinner got married on June 2, 2010. She looked so beautiful and Jonny looked unbelievably handsome! I am so happy for them! They have moved to Sioux Falls, South Dakota, which at the moment I am not too happy about. But I know that they are going to grow so much out there and I can't wait to see them back home for Adam and Becca's wedding.

Now on to the the Little Guy! Beau is almost turning 6 months and he is a whopping 18lbs! He has found his tootsies and they are now his favorite toy. :)

When he wakes up from his naps now he will start babbling and playing with his mobile. Those horses are lucky they haven't been ripped off yet.

Beau thinks he is so big, he doesn't even need a sippy cup, he goes straight for the big boy way! I must say that he is pretty good at it.

We love to read together. The Dr. Suess collection is for sure our favorite!

Beau's favorite is Hop on Pop! He like to chew on the books as well. Num Num!

And for the finaly!!! I CHOPPED MY HAIR OFF! and I couldn't love it more :) I cannot tell you how stressful is was for me before when I couldn't get Beau entertained long enough for me to blow dry, and straighten my crazy hair. Now it is dry in 5 min and all I do is run some product through it.

So if any of you moms are struggling with time.. just CHOP OFF YOUR HAIR :) if you are brave enough! Love you guys, glad to be back in the blogging business!

My Apologies

2010-05-10T11:32:00.000-07:00

Our dang computer has a virus and I can't upload any pictures at the moment. I wont be able to until it is fixed, which will hopefully be soon! Sorry to all! When it is fixed, I will have a lot to post about, so get ready. :)Thank you for being so understanding. Wishing you all the best day ever!

Young Love

2010-05-02T17:05:00.000-07:00

Yes, Auntie Jayg loves Beau very much, but that is not the "Young love" That I am talking about! This love is super special, unlike any other! The love between Beau and Kapri! :) Yes! These two little munchkins sure do enjoy each others company. This weekend we went and spent the night in Park City and they just played and played.

They played in the tubby together and it makes Beau so happy to play with his friend.

Kapri is very lovey with Beau. She is always concerned about him and listens intently when he has something to say.

Beau is kind enough to tickle Kapri's back. She loves this :) What a sweetheart he is!

(Sorry this pic is flipped oopsie!) They also love to hold hands, it is so sweet! They grab a hold and wont let go :)

I love Katie! She is the best. What am I going to do without her?! I am so sad that she is leaving me to move to Texas at the end of the end of the Summer, but we have decided that we don't have to think about it yet. But it is hard to push out of my mind. :(

Couple's night was great! So many fun friend came. We had BBQ and played some Halo, watched movies and Hot Tubbed it up! Thanks to all who came. You made it so special. :)

Moab

2010-04-26T15:31:00.001-07:00

For Beau's first vacation, we went to Moab with Kameron's family to see the car show and hike to Delicate Arch. It was such a fun, good time. Beau got to experience so many new wonderful things. He went on his first hike, swam for the first time and even got a mini sunburn on his cheeky! (That is sad, but it is still a first!) We stayed in these beautiful condos that Kam's Grandpa Dick got for us. Thank you so much! The Hike to Delicate Arch was Beautiful. The wind was a little rough on Beau, but he was a trooper and fell completely asleep on the way back down. The car show was fun, tons of cool cars and all of the guys ate their world famous turkey legs. We rode around in Grandpa Dick's Roadster. That thing is dang fast, and so much fun to ride in. On the way home, we stopped at Deadhorse National Park. It reminded me of the Grand Canyon. It was amazingly beautiful. It was a great short vacation, and I wish we could have stayed longer!

Nice Bum, Where ya From?

2010-04-15T20:02:00.000-07:00

Everyone loves a cute nakey bum :) Hope everyone is doing swell!

My Thoughts....

2010-04-05T13:02:00.000-07:00

About General Conference. I just want to begin by expressing my love for our sweet Prophet, President Monson. I am grateful for the amazing example he is to the members of the church. I have a very strong testimony of the importance of his role and calling.I know that he recieves direct instructions from our Father in Heave and Savior, Jesus Christ.I feel his love every time that he speaks to us. He is, without a doubt, an angel on this earth.

My favorite talk this conference was Elder Holland's talk in the Saturday afternoon session. I am so inspired by his intensity and boldness. I am grateful for his bravery in addressing the topics that he did during his talk. He has motivated me to do all I can to keep myself away from anything that will take the spirit away from me and distract my focus on what is truly important. I know that "Wickedness never was hapapiness!" I know that choosing the right allows us to recieve so many incredible blessings. Worldly happiness only lasts such a short moment and I feel that especially during this time on the earth it is so easy to get caught in worldly acts. But we were put on the earth at this time for a reason. We are strong enough to overcome the natural man, and stay firmly on the straight and narrow path. As Elder Holland stated, we have the CHOICE to let things into our hearts and minds that will harm our spirits. KEEP THEM OUT! I felt as though the theme of this conference was about FAMILY, LOVE and RAISING CHILDREN. As a mother now, I want to be the best I can be so I can teach Beau by my example. I want to share my testimony with you all. I am so grateful to be a member of the Church. I am so blessed to have an eternal family of my own now and I know that is only made possible because of the choice that Kameron and I made to be sealed in The House of the Lord. I know the Book of Mormon is the work of God and that it is the only book testified to be true by Christ himself. I love Joseph Smith and the mighty man that he was. For what he did for us as Mormons. I know the Atonement is the single best gift that we have. I know that it was out of our Savior's pure love for us that he descended below all, and that through him we can be saved. I know that he lives and loves each of us. Happy Easter to everyone. May we always strive to be more Christlike each day and always try to do our best. He will make up the rest.

Three months ago today....

2010-03-29T14:55:00.000-07:00

I gave birth to this incredible little boy. I cannot believe that Beau is 3 months old today! Time has flown by and I have been completely wrapped around this baby's fingers! I am so in love and grateful for this special guy. Beau is such a happy baby. He loves to giggle and laugh and is so layed back. I love that I can lay him on the floor on a blanket and he can just make noises and kick his legs to entertain himself. I really enjoy watching him and playing with him!I thought I better get a picutre of him in this silly hat. It is so cute on him and it made him smile big time when he had it on, but I couldn't seem to catch it on camera. Isn't that how it goes?!

Never wake Beau up before he is ready, or else you will get this look from him. If looks could kill?! ha ha He really enjoys his sleep.

Beau is getting so strong! He loves his tummy time and is getting better at it everyday :)

Thanks Hubby! For the best birthday ever!

2010-03-26T10:13:00.000-07:00

21! Finally! And what a celebration I had, thanks to my sweet hubby Kameron. We made so many fun memories and enjoyed some quality time together. Look how happy we are! So to start off, Wednesday night Kameron took me to the Anniversary Inn. I was so excited to go, but the sadness kicked in when we were getting ready to leave the house and Beau wasn't coming with us. Being the first night away from him, I was pretty emotional. I cried like a baby! I knew he was in the best of hands, but I was going to miss him terribly.

Kameron booked us the TWILIGHT room. Beacause I am a huge twilight fan! This room was so amazing! The bed was in trees and there was a huge flat screen TV up above the bed.

I loved how everything was covered in plants and rocks. It added so much to the atmosphere. Everything looked so real!

This huge tub was so nice, there is even a waterfall that comes down into it, but you can't see it right now :)

Sweet towel oragomy.. or however you spell it!

This was a small loft that was upstairs. It was cozy and also had a tv. I so reccomend staying here. It was so much fun and I can't wait to go back and stay in a different kind of room. They have 36 different suites! So you have a lot to choose from. I say try it out! You will love it! After we checked out of the Hotel, kameron took me to MATRIXX MASSAGE to get a couples massage. It was unbelievable! The best massage I have ever had. It was so much fun to be able to enjoy it with Kameron. I also got one of the best massage therapists in Utah. She has won many awards and I must say that she was fantastic. She even massaged my face! Like full on put oil on my face. It was a little different, but felt great and I really enjoyed it!

After the massages, Kameron took me to see the BOUNTY HUNTER. We thought it was pretty good. Not the best movie we have ever seen. But who doesn't love Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston?! They were great together and very hilarious!

After the movie, we rushed up to Park City to eat at RUTH's CHRIS STEAKHOUSE. Best steak I have ever eaten! I could not believe how delicous it was. I loved every bite :)

Then when we returned home, there were friends and family there to celebrate with cake and ice cream. It was so much fun to be able to eat cake and ice cream with my Twinner girl!

The yummy cakes:)

The hot Mamma's!! Jenny and baby Rush, Katie and baby Kapri and Me with Beau! I love being mom's with these two lovely ladies! It is a blast!! To end I just want to thank Kameron for an amazing and unforgettable birthday. I was so sad when it came to an end, but so happy that we were able to spend that time together. Thank you again, I love you forever.

A Great Day

2010-03-23T12:45:00.000-07:00

Beau's Blessing day couldn't have gone any better. Kameron and I were so thrilled to see all of our close family and friends. It is so nice to actually see how loved and supported we are. Thank you to all who came. :) Kameron gave the most beautiful blessing to Beau and I know it was such a special moment for both of them. Beau looked incredibly adorable in his blessing outfit. It was acutally the same outfit the Kameron was blessed in. Wow, I am such a lucky wife and mother. Can life get any better?

Gummy Smiles :)

2010-03-20T22:05:00.000-07:00

This Boy Melts our hearts with his adorable giggle and gummy smile. He makes life so happy for both of us :) He gets smarter everyday. He now likes to chew on his tongue and can't stop drooling!

Likes and Dislikes

2010-03-18T10:29:00.000-07:00

We think it is about time for you all to get to know Beau a little better! He is weighing in now at just over 14lbs and he is 25 inches long. When we straighten out his legs, we can't believe how long his body is! :)

Likes:
- Mornings! It is his favorite time of day. He just giggles and laughs for a good hour.

- Tubby time! This is a time that we look forward to. He really likes the warm water and could stay in there for a long time. Sometimes, he gets a little grumpy with us when it is time to get out.

- Binki! Beau is absolutely a Binki Boy. Kameron and I have bought like 10 binki's because we have to have one wherever we go. Beau could not live without it. It is so nice that he will take a binki, it calms him down so much. Sometimes it is a complete life saver! It can be a little funny at times, because we think that he cries just becuase it has fallen out of his mouth.

- Hands! He has recently found his hands and cannot get enough of them. They are constantly touching his face and tugging his binki out. ( This frustrates him ) he just doesn't understand why he can't have his binki and his hands in his mouth at the same time :)

- Sleep! Last, but not least, SLEEP! He loves to sleep and we have to admit that it is nice for us as well. He naps really well during the day and when it comes to night time, we couldn't ask for a better baby. He doesn't like to go to sleep until about 10. But he will sleep until 5 and then after he is fed, goes back to sleep till 8 and sometimes even until 10. AWESOME!

Dislikes:
- Spitting up! He fusses everytime he spits up. We just went to the doctor for this because he seriously spits up 30 times a day! and it gets really stinky and sour smelling. He has Acid reflux and it just starting on some medicine. Hope it helps!

- 8-9pm! This seems to be Beau's out of control fussy time. It doesn't last long, but we aren't sure why. It might just be his way of winding himself down and getting ready for sleep.

- Hands covered! As was said above, he loves his hands and if you cover them, you are in big trouble! When he is sleep, we feel as if his little hands get cold, so we will cover them. Most of the time this will wake him up and he will uncover them.

That is our little boy in a nut shell :) He is the best thing to ever happen to us!

Beau's Nursery

2010-03-04T14:06:00.001-08:00

Hip Hip Hooray! After a few long weeks of dust ALL over our bedroom and the smell of saw dust lingering, it is over! We were able to move all of Beau's stuff in. It turned out so cute! It is a little snug, but worked our perfectly and fits all of his stuff in it. It is so nice to have our bedroom back to ourselves! And Beau has slept through the night twice in a row with only waking up once! That is pretty good. It is really dark and quiet in there, so I know he can really relax and get some great sleep. In our bedroom we always would have the tv on so I don't think that he slept as sound. :( Poor little guy! Now everything is perfect, and now I even have a huge closet in his room for my clothes and lots of storage. I am so happy that it is done. YEEHAW!

A Couple of Laughs!

2010-03-01T16:54:00.001-08:00

Cafe Rio and Nickel Cade... what a night! Ha this night was great! We went to Cafe Rio for dinner and then wanted to go bowling. Well the wait for bowling was over an hour long! So, we decided to go to Nickel Cade since we haven't been there for YEARS! I think since I was in elementary school! Jenny and I decided to strap our babies on us and play some games! This one was our fav!

Dance Dance Revoulution! Woot Woot, yeah we were pretty much laughing so hard we thought we were going to wet ourselves! :) Fun memories for sure, Gotta love em!

Nursery Construction Update and Beau is 2 Months!

2010-02-26T20:14:00.000-08:00

Hello..How is everyone?! The Savage's are doing fabulous and we hope that all of you are as well!

Beau is 2 months! Can you believe it? We sure can't. They have been the best 2 months of our lives. We decided to take Beau to his first sunday at church last week and he did great. He loved it. We were so excited to take him, I talked to him while I was getting him ready and I was telling him all about our Savior and Heavenly Father. He kept smiling and giggling. I know that he knew who I was talking about. He was just with them a short time ago :) Wow! How amazing is that? Here are some cute pics of our now 13lb big boy!!!!

Construction is going GREAT! We are almost complete! All that is left to do is paint the base boards and carpeting, then we are movin' Beau on in! Woot woot! We can't wait to have our room back to oursleves! Sorry, such a short post! But, there is always more to come :) Adios Amigos!

Under Construction

2010-02-09T09:33:00.000-08:00

We are UNDER CONSTRUCTION! Kameron's parents were kind enough to let us clean out the storage room off our our bedroom in their basement and finish it into a nursery for Beau! How awesome is that?! There is a lot of work to do...... but it will be worth it :) This is how the storage room looked all cleaned out. But as you can see there are shelves around the whole room. So, what needs to be done? Yup, we need to rip down all of the shelves. UGH!

But Beau and I are so stinkin' excited to get it all done! Beau is tryin to do thumbs up as well, but he just hasn't learned how to control his fingers yet :)

Here are the boys hard at work! Kolton, Kameron's little brother was so nice to help! With the team work, those shelves were down in no time!

The boys are very proud of their work :) now the room just needs to be framed, insulated, some sheet rock, carpeted and painted! Then we can move in!! Woot Woot!

This Happy family is so excited! :) And I can't wait to post pictures of the finished product!! Coming soon!!!

Oh Beau!

2010-01-31T15:30:00.001-08:00

Here are more recent pictures of Beau :) This first on is of the day we went to the doctor for his two week check up.. as you can see, he is not happy about it at all. He knows that they are going to do some not so fun things! He loves to pull this scowl face all the time. It reminds me of Gary Coleman when he would say " What you talkin' bout Willis?!" I love this outfit on him. This hoodie has little ears on it and I think that he looks like a bunny rabbit or something like that. Could be any kind of animal ears....dog....bear...but I choose bunny :)

Beau is so sweet when he takes his naps. I love to just sit and stare at him. Good thing he is so cute when he sleeps..because he does it ALL THE TIME! He sure loves his sleep.

This is Beau getting all tucked in for the night. He loves to sleep in his Daddy's spot :)

Kameron is so nice to let him over take our bed. What a great Daddy :)

Finally here we are.. Beau's first night sleeping in his crib. He did pretty well. He slept for like 5 hours straight. Which was heaven for me!

He was far away in dream land :) Dreaming of where he came from. I bet he misses is there :)

Even though he starts out in his crib... this is most likely where he ends up :) He just loves to be close to his Mommy and Daddy.

This is our new tubbing tradition.He loves to be covered in warm wash cloths :) nomally his lips would chatter everytime.. but since I have started doing this he enjoys it so much more.

There ya go :) hope you enjoy the pics!

Check out this HANDSOME DEVIL!

2010-01-22T16:58:00.000-08:00

Here is our sweet boy :) We just had his photo shoot done by Little Angels and they turned out AMAZING! I couldn't have asked for them to turn out any better. Kameron and I had so much fun taking pictures with our little guy. He cooperated so well... except for the fact that he pooped and peed on everything that his chubby bottom touched!!! I was so embarrassed! The photographer said that it happens all the time, but I think that she was just trying to make me feel better. Sure love you guys, and we can't wait for all of you to get to know Beau better. Keep Smilin' :)

Getting settled and turning the big 25!

2010-01-11T10:44:00.000-08:00

We are home and getting all settled in! It has been great finally trying to get into a routine and back into a "normal" life :) with a few changes.. like feeding every three hours...tons of dirty diapers... and a tremendous loss of sleep!! But life could not be any better! Oh how we love this little boy and the happiness he has brought to our lives. We are extremely blessed. Beau is such a great baby. He hardly ever fusses. We have heard him cry maybe for 10 seconds at the most. He just likes to grunt a lot. He makes the funniest faces and we could just sit there and watch him for hours! We are trying to get him to sleep at night and not during the day as much. We have been slightly successful... but he still needs some work! All in all everything is dandy! We have had so many visitors :) it has been so great to feel the love of support! Here is Beau with his new friend Boston and soon to be friends "The Twinners" Carly is preg with! Can't wait to have them here!

This is the cutest picture of Beau sunbathing with his stunna shades on! The Doc told us to keep him in the sunlight when possible to help with his Jaundice. Isn't he just the cutest little chubby guy?!

Happy Birthday to my Hubby! Kameron Beau Savage is officially the big 25! Kameron is the best husband and Dad. I love him with all my heart. For his birthday treat we had brownies and ice cream! With homemade chocolate sauce that Kam's mom made. It was DELICIOUS!
It was a pretty layed back birthday since we have the new babe and all. But, it was still special to be together as a new family.

Here is Kameron with his favorite birthday present :) Beau was such a gift and having a healthy baby is all that we could have asked for!

Blowing out his candles and making a wish! :) THE END!

Introducing.....

2009-12-31T19:56:00.000-08:00

Beau Luke Savage :) Born December 29, 2009 2:11 a.m. 9.6lbs 22 inches long! After 28 hours of long labor, our little bundle of joy finally joined our family. The birth story is a little lengthy, but I will try to sum it up for you all. It all started Sunday night.. I went to bed at 10 and about a half hour later I started getting some intense contractions that woke me up and they made it so I could not fall back to sleep. I felt a little bit of excitement, but did not want to get my hopes up. Kameron and I decided to start timing them for fun just to see how regular they were. They began about 10 minutes apart and shortly turned into intense contractions every five minutes! I checked into the hospital about 2:30 am Monday morning where they checked my progression. I was still only at a 2 so, after wating an hour at the hospital, they gave me a shot of morphine and sent me home:( Well, the morphine did not help AT ALL! I could't get any sleep and I just waited a few more hours until a felt like I could go back to the hospital. Our second trip at the hospital was not any better than the first. I seriously walked the halls of the hospital for an hour straight and stopped at every corner in agony with a contraction.. ugh it was awful! Yet again, I was sent home with pain medication.

Finally at about 5:00 p.m, there was absolutley no way I could handle it anymore. So off to the hospital for the third and final time we went. This time I was dialated to a 5+ and the admitted me! YAHOO! After getting settled into my delivery room I was able to get an epidural right away. I never knew that I could love something so much the included needles and my spine!... but oh boy! I couldn't have asked for anything more. It was such a relief to not be in pain anymore. I was able to relax for the first time in hours and enjoyed spending time with my family.

I progressed quickly and before I knew it, it was time to push! After pushing for a while, something not so great happened. My epidural decided to wear off in my right hip. Can I say INTENSE? Oh my goodness, I have never felt something so painful. It made me so nauseaus and I had to throw up. They had to come back in a give me a second epidural. When the second one kicked in, I was ready to push once again. I could not wait to meet our little guy! I was so worn out, I needed a little help in the end. Beau had to be vacuumed out. It was emotionally hard for both Kameron and I but we knew that it was best for Beau.

It was finallly over! Our baby boy was here! And he was HUGE! None of us had any idea that he would be that big. It was by far the best moment of my life. I felt so accomplished and proud of myself. Kameron was the best coach and comforter ever. I could not have made it through without him by my side. I loved seeing him look at Beau for the first time. I will never forget the instant overwhelming feeling of love for Beau and the increasing love, that I didn't know I could possibly have for Kameron. I would go through what I did a 100 times for Beau.

We are all doing well and we are excited to start our new life together as a family of 3! What a great number :) We are grateful for all of the support and love that we have felt from all of our amazing Family and Friends. Thank you all so much for coming to visit us and for all of the great gifts. It is so appreciated! Happy New Year to everyone!! 2009 was a great year for the Savage Fam and 2010 will be even better!

P.S We are still in the hospital right now with Beau. He is having a few little problems. We are expecting him to get better very soon and then we will be able to take him home :) I promise I will let you all know when we are finally home and getting all settled. Love you!

Lots to catch up on... Happy Turkey Day and Go Cougars!!

2009-11-29T12:21:00.000-08:00

FIRST THINGS FIRST! What an AMAZING game! We love the Cougars and we knew that they could do it. It was such a blast to be there together! It was definately worth sitting out in the freezing cold to watch BYU win :) So exciting! GO COUGARS!

As you know, Thanksgiving just isn't official unless there is a Turkey Bowl played the morning of! This year I was able to go and watch and even take some pictures! This was so much fun and I so enjoyed watching all of these great guys! They have such a great time playing together and it is really cool to see how many guys show up to play! There were quite a few of them this year, enough for 4 teams and Kameron's team won! They were the Turkey Bowl Champs 2 years in a row! This was such a great start to such a fabulous day :) I am grateful for so many things. I have the greatest Husband ever and I am so lucky to be his wife and to have him to take care of me and our baby Beau. I am grateful for the best Family and Friends who are always there for Kameron and I no matter what. We are truly so blessed and happy:)

I know you thought we fell off the face of the earth, but we didn't :)

2009-10-25T19:52:00.001-07:00

Hello friends! I am so sorry we haven't updated in so long. We have been super busy with work and Football! Kameron has been coaching and his little league season is almost coming to a close. He has had such a blast! This picture is of his little bro Kolton throwing a touchdown pass in his last game! I love to go and support my two boys! They have had so much fun being together this season. I love the bond that they have. It makes me excited for the sweet bond that our Baby Beau and His Daddy will have :)

Okay everyone who has been begging me for one of these.. here it is.. my FIRST belly picture! I am officially 29 weeks and a little over 7 months. I have just begun my Third and Final trimester, wahoo! I am feeling great. The anticipation and excitement is the only thing that is killing Kam and I. We have been doing lots of baby preperations and this time is so enjoyable for us :) What a blessing this baby has been already in our lives and in our marriage. All is well and we are very happy! Also, we are loving this beautiful Fall weather! Happy Halloween to everyone this week! Love you all!

20 weeks!

2009-08-26T16:34:00.000-07:00

I had my 20 week ultra sound on Monday and I have to say that I am a little disappointed. We didn't get very good pictures of Beau. None of them were very clear and it was hard to tell what we were looking at! Super big bummer! But, I think that this picture is cute of him, he is pulling a litte acrobatic move. I will explain :) You can see that he is laying on his back with his chin to his belly. His nose is poking up and his upper lip. Then he has his legs clear up above his head. LOL you can see his bum in the air and it looks like his legs are pretty muscular :) What a stud eh?!

The Wiggles!

2009-08-20T08:36:00.000-07:00

Holy Cow! So just recently I have started to feel Beau move. It has been such an exciting experience! It makes me feel so happy to know that he is alive in there ha I was starting to get worried that it was taking me so long to be able to feel him. It started out as just little flutters and now I can full on feel him kick his legs and roll! I was determinded last night to get the baby to move for Kameron. I told Kam we would not be going to be until he felt him move.... I thought we were going to be up all night long! Kameron finally got down reallly close to my belly and started talking to Beau. He was talking and poking my belly and all of a sudden Beau started to go nuts! He kicked Kam's hand more than once and it was so cute that he wouldn't budge until Kam started to talk to him. I know that he recognizes his voice. It is moments like these that make the icky part of pregnancy so worth it. I love being pregnant and I love my baby boy!

The Magic Moment!

2009-07-18T12:21:00.000-07:00

What a great day today has been! Kameron and I set off to run some errands and we drove to South Towne Mall. I asked what we were doing and he said it was a surprise. So I was excited but didn't think anything of it. We walked around that corner and there it was! The Fetal Studio. I was in shock and he said..WELL DONT YOU WANT TO FIND OUT WHAT IT IS?! I was so excited all I could do was laugh and say "You are such a stinker!" Finding out the gender was not as easy as I thought it would be. Especially when the baby is choosing to be stubborn. When we first took a peek at the baby it looked like this....
It was in the fetal position so tight. It's head was all the way down to its knees and it was not budging. It would tease us and lift it's head up and then go right back into that position. The doctor said go walk around and get some sugar. Lets give the baby a sugar rush so it will start to move! So off we went on mission get the baby to move! :) Kameron went and bought me a Lemonade from hot dog on a stick and a started to chug that thing. After talking to the baby and begging it to move we headed back to the doctor. When we returned.. this is what we saw!

It is a baby boy!!! He decided to oped his little legs for us so we could see. Kameron and I were so excited. I had happy tears in my eyes and Kameron looked like a little kid on Christmas morning! The baby has such the cutest personality already. After he showed us his little pee pee, he kept covering his face with his hands like he was embarrassed after he revealed himself to us :) It was such a special moment and I will never forget the feeling that I felt. This little boy is so loved and we are trying so hard to be patient as we await his arrival.

This is his first modeling picture. You can see that he is facing us and his little hand us under his chin. You can see his belly, legs and his boy part :) Today was the first time Kameron was able to see him move and that made me so happy he could see it. The baby was waving it's arms and being so stinkin cute! I wish all of you could have shared this moment with us. I tried to describe it the best I could! Love you so much! Beau Luke Savage will be here soon!

Yo everyone! Here's an update!

2009-07-10T08:50:00.000-07:00

Howdy partners!
I know I haven't written forever so here are a few updates about my pregnancy! I am just over 3 months now and time is flying by... well sorta! I am still struggling with a little bit of sickness but always keeping a smile on my face. Except at about 9 o' clock at night Kameron has decided to give me the name Cruela Devil because I really do turn into her. I am so irritable and I just want to sleep. He is so cute with me though. Every time I get up during the night he wakes up and asks me if he can do anything for me and he'll rub my back even though he is half asleep. What a great Husband. :) I had my second doctor's appointment this week and the baby is growing and developing great. The size of the baby is still on track with my due date which is Kam's birhtday so that is great!The Doctor even let me have anohter sneak peak of the baby even though it wasn't apart of the regular check up. I was able to see it move and I would poke my belly and I could see where my finger was pushing on the ultra sound. I am so excited for this baby to come and I can't wait until I can feel it move. That will be some sweet stuff! All in all I am doing well I am finally getting used to all of the icky feelings and I don't think they will be letting up any time soon but lets keep our fingers crossed shall we?! :)

SURPRISE!!!!

2009-06-08T12:01:00.001-07:00

Surprise everyone! We are going to have a baby! We are totally stoked and couldn't be any happier! We went to the doctor today to check everything out and everything is going perfectly! The baby is just the right size and our due date is January 9th... KAM'S B-DAY! The pictures are a little blurry but still so excited! The top picture shows its heartbeat and it is going so fast! The bottom picture is a close up shot. If you start on the right there is it's head and little arm buds and its bottom :) Sorry it isn't too clear! We are so excited to share this big news with all of you and we will keep you updated as things progress. Love you all!

An Amazing Testimony Builder!

2009-05-26T14:19:00.001-07:00

I LOVE NAUVOO!! I want to go back and never leave! This weekend all of the awesome people we live out here in Illinois with decided to pack up for a short little get away! We are only about 2 hours from Nauvoo and it was so perfect. We found this house that we could all rent together named the Bywater House. It was so cute and old. The inside was redone so it was so nice and homey! I wish we were living tere for the rest of the summer. The beds were so comfy! We had so much fun there. We played fun games and watched the NBA games! So intense! We also made a yummmy dinner that we ate outside. Isn't the temple so beautiful? We sat on the grass outside of the temple at night and I couldn't take my eyes off of it. Kameron and I were able to go do sealings in the temple and it was my first time doing them since we have been married and it was such a sweet reminder of our wedding day. Nauvoo has such a sweet spirit about it and I felt so calm and at peace there. We were able to make it to Carthage and this was so cool but also saddening. We couldn't believe that we were actually standing and walking where our sweet Prophet Joseph Smith walked. Our testimony of him grew so much. He was an amazing person and did everything he could to help everyone who was in his life. He was so brave and loyal. We are forever grateful for what he did for the Church and we love him for restoring the Gospel to the earth. What and OUTSTANDING person. We loved being with our friends and making sweet memories that we will never forget! Nauvoo is such a unique place and we want to tell everyone to get there!!!!!!! You wont regret it!

We Have Been Married One Whole Year!

2009-05-08T10:59:00.000-07:00

One year! Can anyone believe it? This year went by so fast and we have grown so much as a couple. We are still so in love and are so lucky to have on another. Being in a new State and city, we had to search for a place to go have dinner. We found this restaurant called Johnny's Italian Steakhouse.. can you say GOOD! It was super duper yummy, and the area that the restaurant was located in made us feel like we were back at home because it sort of looked like Salt Lake! We had such a great time talking at dinner. We are best friends and we can't wait for more years to come! I love you Kam! Here are some pics of our new place in Illinois. It is a pretty sketchy place, but we are starting to get used to it :) We weren't able to bring any decorations except for our sweet posters. The furniture in the place was already put there for us. We are just enjoying the great time we are having out here and for the memories that we are making. We are missing our families and friends but we know that we will be with you all soon!

We made it!

2009-05-04T15:57:00.000-07:00

After having our location changed TWICE! We finally made it to our destination in Illinois! The drive was a little bit miserable and long.. ha but I had good company :) Kam and I had a fun time on the drive. We bought some Walky Talky's (or however you spell that word) so we could communicate with our friends James and Jerrica easily. We talked on those things the whole 19 hours! It was hilarious! We stopped half way our first night in Lexington Nebraska. I miss the mountains so much! It is so flat everywhere here! I hope a tornado doesn't come! So to tell you a little bit more about our experience so far here in Illinois... our apartment complex is so GHETTO! It is scary here! The apartments themselves are not too bad but the outside is gross and the hallways are so yucky! But that is not getting us down! We will make our apartment cute :) and we have each other...... so we can get through anything! You know why? Because we have lots of love!!!!! I am proud of Kam and I know that he is going to do so well this summer for us! We will take nothing but good memories from this experience and it is a good opportunity to meet some new friends who work for the company also! Woo all is well! Joy in the Journey :) We love and miss you all!

iFly!!!!!!

2009-04-07T17:14:00.000-07:00

So..... for Kameron's little brother's birthday he invited us to iFly. An indoor skydiving place in Ogden. I was a little nervous... okay ALOT nervous! Kameron couldn't wait to get in there and do some sweet stuff! I am SO happy that I did it! It was such a rush and a fun adventure! I would totally do it again! Kam was so good at it! The instructor kept helping him do awesome tricks. Kam's family went with us and it was so much fun to experience this with them! THANKS SAVAGE FAM :) I totally recommend doing this!

Finally 20! Such a fun birthday week!

2009-03-27T20:43:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone! Guess what... yes! I am finally 20! The teen years are gonzo! For my birthday, my Hubby planned a nice dinner at Magleby's with good friends and family. It was a nice night. I enjoyed being with the ones that I love. That night after dinner, Kameron left to head to San Diego to go on a cruise with his friends from his new job with Linx. Jerrica, being a lonely wife as well, offered for me to come spend time with here while out hubbies we gone! This week has been so much fun! So far we have gone shopping! We bought new swimming suites at Shade. I love that place! They have the cutest modest clothing that make me feel so good. Today we went to Color Me Mine, and painted flower vases. This was so much fun and took us almost 3 hours! For my birthday Jerrica got me a certificate to get a manicure and pedicure. This was so relaxing and I loved every second of it. It has been so much fun to spend time with her! She is such a great friend :) We are missing our hubbies so bad but, we are hoping that they are having so much fun. Can't wait to see them on Sunday! Tomorrow we are going to the temple and to spend time with my Family up in Sandy. Sunday we are headed to Nephi to spend time with Jerrica's family. This has been such a great week. I have cherished every moment!

Happiness

2009-03-18T09:49:00.000-07:00

I truly feel that life can get so out of control sometimes that it can make us forget what make life so BEAUTIFUL!We have school, homework, work and now packing! So today I wanted to take time to list a couple things that make me feel happy :)

* My WONDERFUL husband makes me so happy.

* The mornings make happy because I know that I have a brand new day to better my self and to help others.

* Every night Kameron and I take time to read in a novel of our choice. That makes me happy because nothing is ever said, but just spending time with him is all I ever want in our busy lives.

*My GREAT family and Kam's family make me happy. I know I can count on them for anything.

* FRIENDS... they are just wonderful! I am always happy to be around them!

* The GOSPEL is such a blessing in my life. I could not get through anything with out the gospel and my loving husband.

The list could go on forever! But I am happy! Through all the stress and the hectic times that life can bring I have a husband that holds my hand and helps me overcome anything! :) I challenge all of you to take time to ponder and list down the things that make you happy!

SAKURA! So Yummy!

2009-03-14T10:02:00.000-07:00

Last night we were trying to figure out a cool place to eat... and we made up our minds to go to Fuddruckers. But, across the street was SAKURA and Jerrica had never been. So we flipped that car around and went there. The food was nothing less than AMAZING and we had the funniest cook. He was making us laugh so hard. At dinner Kameron also tried to make me eat some sushi... that didn't go down very well! I still put on a brave face! Dinner was so much fun and it was great to be there with Jerrica to experience this new adventure. We love fun memories! At the end of the night we attempted to watch a scary movie...... only three out of the four of us watched it :) Jerrica had her head covered the whole time! She is so silly, we made a bed out in the living room like little kids having a sleepover! We are great, gotta love us! Also, I cut my hair! Let me know what you think of it!!! :)

Good news... and some Bad news!

2009-03-07T10:28:00.000-08:00

Hey everyone! Well I have some good news and some bad news.... The bad news is that my team lost in the first round of the tournament. So my basketball adventure is officially over! The good news is that our Men's team is playing in the championship game today against SLCC. If they win they go on the play in the Nationals! I am way excited for them! This trip has been a lot of fun and I am so grateful for the good experiences that I have had. I love my team so much! Thanks for all of the great memories!

Coeur d' Alene!

2009-03-04T19:47:00.000-08:00

We finally made it to our destination! After practice tonight, Coach Paur took us out to look at the lake here. It was absolutly BEAUTIFUL! I loved it, we had so much fun even though it was freezing cold! The view is gorgeous and I believe that it made the 19 hour bus ride worth it! Here are so awesome pictures! I miss you Kam :) and wish you could have been here to see it with me. Love you. For dinner tonight we ate at a way good Mexican place and it was delicous!

Headed back to Idaho!

2009-03-03T14:51:00.000-08:00

Tonight at 10:30 pm my team is headed out on a 19 hour bus ride to Coure D' alene Idaho! We are going there for the region tournament, so I hope we don't drive out there for no reason! We need to win! I have to leave Kameron home all week long.... I wish he could fit into my duffle bag :) I always miss him so much when I am gone, but this is my last away trip, so we just need to get through this! Which we totally will! Well wish my team luck! I will let you know how it goes!

Another Chapter Has Come to an End

2009-03-02T09:07:00.000-08:00

Basketball has finally come to an end for me. It is for sure a bitter sweet moment. I am ready to move on with life and to get started on new adventures that are yet to come. But, I am so sad that to know that I will never play on a team again, full of fun girls and for a school. Kameron and I are planning on playing together on some rec teams and that will be so much fun! I know that sports will always be a part of mine and Kameron'sl lives! Thank you to all who have supported me and cheered me on! :)

A Perfect Night in Provo!

2009-03-01T01:09:00.000-08:00

Tonight was such a blast! We started off by going to dinner at the Brick Oven. Dinner was followed up by some drinks (non-alcoholic) at such a unique little place called Spark. It was like a lounge and we just sat and had so much fun! We then finished off the night at a FUN place called Comedy Sportz! Man I laughed so hard that my stomach hurts!

Just to get started!

2009-03-01T00:11:00.000-08:00
