We will miss you Great Grandpa Savage

I love this picture. Such a good lookin  couple!

Grandpa passed away this year. It is so nice to know he is now together again with sweet Grandma Savage. They are such a cute couple. I loved talking with Grandma Savage. She would always tell me that my boys were just so beautiful. Grandpa was so good at making us laugh. He had the best sense of humor. I was told that he had a really good singing voice but he never sang for me. When I met Grandpa Savage for the first time I couldn't believe how much my father in law looked just like him and they had the same voice. It was crazy but cool. All I can say is that I loved seeing Grandpa Savage Smile and loved his laugh. I wish I could have visited with him more but after Grandma Savage passed he went and lived with a daughter in Montana.

I thought this was cool. He played basketball!

Grandpa was a cattle rancher. He looks like a cowboy!

I want my boys to know that he was a hard worker. A real cowboy. He would go on cattle drives and I did learn something else about him he worked hard to make his garden great.

I can't get over how cool these pictures are. I love this one with the horses.

We were able to attend the funeral. I still don't know a whole lot about the Savage side and someday I will get to know the cousins but I loved all the remembrance of Grandpa.

 

 

 

 

Travis and his brothers ended up being pall bearers. Travis's Dad was the only boy in the family so we are the ones to carry on the family name.

Rest in Peace.

The Savage Boys. Except we are missing Hayden and Landon.

This picture was taken several months before he passed. I am glad we have this.

Cute Great Grand kids with Great Grandpa.

We will love and miss you Grandpa Savage! I am sure your reunion with Grandma was sweet. We will never forget you!

Summa Time 2012

At the Scera Shell waiting for the play to start!

Um we are not sure we like any of the pictures we are in but this will have to do. We took the boys to see the Fiddler on the Roof at the Shell. 

Wow Summer came and went! Like I have said in other posts we moved in December to Orem. I love it here in Orem. It has changed my life in so many ways I am just loving it. We had so much fun this summer. We did go to Snowbird on a little staycation but that will be another post. We were pretty much set for the summer. We had a pass of all passes which we used to go to the Seven Peaks and also to the Scera Shell to see some good plays. We also had a punch pass to go swimming at the Scera Pool. Of course I am not good at taking pictures at the swimming pool but we sure made use of those passes. I feel blessed to live down the street from the Scera Park. I was so excited to have Tre and my other kids to go to the same elementary as me.  Well enough talk lets see some pictures!

We loved the fiddler on the roof play. It was awesome because a family in our ward was in it. Yep, the whole family. The Wawro Family did a fabulous job. Oh and my old High School Teacher was the main part. It was fun to see everyone use their talents!

We went to the riverwoods splash pad one day. It was fun we ended up going with our friends the Larsens and the Larsen family invited some other family members. It was fun and I think everyone had a good time.

Tre showing off his muscles or hulking out!

Landon loving the water.

Skyler wasn't sure about the splash pad but he looks happy here.

Landon started to wear sunglasses when he saw the track and field runners wearing their shades during the Olympics. He loves those shades!

We did have a fun summer and I just love being with my boys. There are times I think oh I don't want to go do that since I am the one who has to get everyone ready and out the door but I have to say I am so glad when I do go do things with my kids. They are so fun to be with and I love to see them happy!

Hey Batter Batter Swing!

Tre Played Coach Pitch this Year 2012. We moved in December to Orem so this was a big deal to find a team for him to play on. This team was great. The coaches were awesome and for the most part I think Tre had fun.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Baseball Season was new for us. The last time Tre played on a team was when he was playing T-Ball. So it seemed like forever since we got the tee bat, ball and glove out. Tre at first was a little hesitant but then he started improving on skill drills and I think was enjoying it. I never know with Tre what he is thinking but I liked that he could practice with Travis and myself and we all had fun. 

Tre's Team was super cute and fun to see improve. I liked his coaches and thought they really did a great job with everyone. The last practice the coach brought a big bucket of water balloons and had the kids take a swing at the balloons while they did batting practice. The coaches also had each of us parents pitch in and got them a trophy and had a water slide party after the last game. I was sad to see it come to an end. Just as the kids start to get better the season is over. Oh well hopefully I can get Tre to give it another year to see if he wants to play baseball.

Tre is a natural at sports. I know I am his parent but really he just looks like he knows what he is doing and looks good doing it. I love watching him play and oh I am one proud momma! 

Tre up to bat.

I am proud of you Tre! You did it and played some good games. Love you buddy. I will always cheer you on!
