Are you ready for some football?




WOOHOO!! It's football season. The Savard household is ecited and ready for the first official game next Saturday. In the meantime we have had "hell" week. It is a week full of sweat, tears, throw-up, and yes injury. Both Jeff and his best friend Alfonso hurt there foot/ankles. After visits to the emergency room we were happily told it was only a bad sprain as opposed to the torn ligament we thought it was. They told us 4-6 weeks but die-hard Mom iced that sucker down all day and night for week and on day 7 he was out on the field! Give it up for Mom!! Jeff is back to the beast he normally is and it's good to have him back. I will update you weekly on how the games go as the season progresses.
HAPPY FOOTBALL SEASON Y'ALL!

Way Cool!!





Jeffrey had the priviledge to attend Michael Jordan's Flight School in Santa Barbara this Summer. It was five days filled with playing basketball, all-you-can-eat eating, and meeting kids from all over the country. The other blonde kid is someone he met from Michigan. They are already planning a next summer visit! He had a great time. What made it even more special was his best friend from Texas was able to go also. What a cool memories to have when they get older. Enjoy the pictures!

I'm Back........




Okay, my best friend Suz left me a comment saying she reads my blog so that means I will continue to update it. Thank-you Suz. Every once in a while we all need a little encouragment. I have been super busy as of late with work and family commitments so I have been lagging on the blog. For those of you who read it, Suz, I apologize. If you, with 6 almost 7, kids can manage to update yours regularly I am ashamed! So without further ado here we go.....
Since I seem to have Suz on the mind let us go back to our summer vacation. We were so lucky to be able to see the DiSilvestri clan and we all had a great time. Joey, Jeff, and various other kids splashed in the pool, rode the famous wiggle cars, and palyed ping-pong. Hannah was able to go horseback riding with Lyndsey and decided she likes bare-back much better! She couldn't walk for a couple of days! When Suzanne and I were younger we always thought we would live next door to each other w/ the matching picket fences.....well we don't. We live quite far away from each other and don't see each other often but when we do it's like no time has passed. We instantly revert back to 12 yrs old, much to Jay's chagrin. Our kids all get along and even our husbands. If you know my husband you know this is an amazing feat unto itself! Thank-you DiSilvestri Family for opening your home and your hearts to us. We can't wait to have you back to Texas y'all!

Part 3 Cali vacation.............




After Grandma Debbie and Grandpa Dave's we were off to Carpinteria to visit Grandpa Tom and Sylvie. Of course we went to the beach and had fun surfing but we also too a wonderful trip out to Anacapa Island on Grandpa's ocean boat. It wasn't the best weather but Jeff and I had a great time. Hannah spent the whole time sea sick :( As the pics show Jeff fished while Hannah slept. Once again Jeff could not catch anything to save his life. He has fished in stocked lakes, rivers, and now the ocean only to have caught nada! Let's see where do we go next.....tune in to see where our next adventure is.
P.S. If you read my blog leave a post every once in awhile. No one ever leaves me posts so I don't know if anybody actually reads this! Thanxs.
