Go Cougars! - December 20, 2008


We were able to go see the BYU Men's basketball team play ASU at the new Cardinals stadium in Phoenix. We had a great time and it was a close game....the Cougars lost on what we thought was very bad officiating?! Last second shot by the Cougars didn't count!!!?? Whatever!

Gingerbread house - December 15, 2008

I thought Savannah would have so much fun putting together a ginerbread house. I remember making gingerbread houses with my mom when I was little. We even had stained-glass windows made from melted lifesavers!
She was more interested in the frosting than anything else. I ended up putting most of the house together and decorating it with candy. Oh, well!

One swing, two girls! - December 10, 2008

Candlelight park is right near our house....there was only one swing, so I tried putting both girls in. They are both so petite, they fit just right!

Christmas dresses - December 7, 2008

Sydney is so agreeable....
Savannah, not so much!

Ward Christmas Party - December 3, 2008

Savannah....Santa's helper? Actually, no, she didn't want to have anything to do with Santa. Sydney sat on Santa's lap, but Savannah was too nervous!
Merry Christmas from the Glenn's!

Rub, a dub, dub...2 girls in the tub! - December 2, 2008

Savannah and Sydney take their first bath together....it was a workout for mom, but they liked to play together in the water!

"Just Us" Thanksgiving - November 27, 2008

Although we were invited to dinner by lots of neighbors and friends, we decided to have our own dinner this year. It was nice, relaxed and fairly quiet....and I must say, the food was excellent!
Turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, rolls and pecan pie....Ymmmm!
My first time making all of Thanksgiving dinner by myself...and I didn't ruin anything! Hooray!

Cute girls, pink hats! - November 26, 2007

Sydney Ann (6 1/2 mo) - Such a doll face! I love her in this snow hat!
Savannah (2 1/2 yrs) is getting so big! She looks so grown up as she poses on her glider with her stylish cap!

Early Christmas Tree - November 23, 2008

We decided to put up our Christmas tree early because every time we were at a store, Savannah was super excited when she saw the trees and lights. She kept wanting to go back and see them while we shopped!

Putting up a tree is hard work! Savannah took a break and laid down under the tree...she said she would sleep there!
Dad & Savannah putting the top of the tree on.
Savannah & Sydney "helping" decorate the tree.
Savannah seperated the branches into colors and then brought them to Mom & Dad to put in the stem....what a good helper!


Savannah the Puzzle Queen! - November 15, 2008

We discovered that Savannah loves puzzles!!! I got several puzzles on clearance for 3-7 year olds. They have 25 pieces each. Savannah can do them all by herself! After a few tips from mom & dad, she started putting all the pieces together. We were amazed! She would do puzzles for an hour and she must have a photographic memory...after she has done it once, she remembers where the pieces go the next time!

Savannah reads to Sydney - November 22, 2008

Savannah loves to read books! She memorizes the words of her favorite books and then reads them to Sydney. This is "Way Far Away on a Wild Safari."

Messy face! - November 16, 2008

Sydney started eating solids at 4 1/2 months. She likes vegetables and fruit but is not really into rice cereal. She likes oatmeal and barley ok, but she definitely does not want to eat cereal plain!

Couch Potatoes! - November 8, 2008

Savannah loves to do whatever her dad is doing. We love to snuggle up together on the couch whenever we get the chance!

Joe & the girls - October 26, 2008

Despite how Joe thought boys would be easier to raise, he sure adores his girls! They are both excited to see him when he gets home from work. Savannah often cries when he has to go to meetings at night. She loves her dad!

Desert Breeze Park - October 20, 2008

We love this park. It is a half way point between Mesa and Maricopa in Chandler. We often meet our friends Meagan & Anthony (red shirt) to play. There is a splash park, train, and covered playground with sand!

Sydney - 4 1/2 mo - October 16, 2008

Sydney loves to be in her saucer. She can stand up and turn around and be surrounded by toys! She is such a happy baby.

Halloween! - October 31, 2008

We dressed up as fifties girls and Joe wore a white shirt and jeans to keep in with our theme...I made the girls skirts, and they looked so cute!

Our ward/neighborhood had a carnival. Savannah loved the fishing booth and the snow cones. I did the face painting booth. I thought I would be bored, but I ended up having a line of kids waiting to get their faces painted! It was so fun and it turned out awesome!

The Glenn girls in their matching poodle skirts!

The office finally got finished! - October 14, 2008

2 coats of primer and paint on the walls and 2 coats of primer and 4 coats of paint on the doors and trim....it is finally finished being painted! It looks awesome. We are so glad we decided to "remodel" this room!
Savannah thought she wanted to help...it didn't last long!

We all worked on the room...it was a big project!

Caught Ya! - October 10, 2008

Savannah knows she is not supposed to get on the table....but she was cute anyway!
Sydney found her toes! She loves to suck on them and try to eat them! (4 mo)


Savannah the cook! - October 17, 2008

I found out that Savannah loves to help cook! (Surprise, surprise...!!!) Here she is mixing brownies. Mmmm, they were so good!
