And Introducing.....Savannah Violet Valdes.....

Savannah Violet Valdes was born on 3/21/09, at 10:02 am, weighing 8.7oz. She is, of cours, a cutie-patootie. Mom and Dad are doing really well, and Scarlett is giving her baby sister lots of hugs and kisses, sometimes a little tooo aggressively. Since Savannah was born on my mom's 90th birthday, Cari and Juan wanted to use her middle name of Violet (mom's name is Ruth Violet). My mom was so excited.

My mom turns 90

Scarlett, Linda, Chloe, Shana, Eli, Joe, Jim, Luke, Mom, Alyssa, and Mia. Mom and some of her grandkids and g-grandkids.

My mom turned 90 on saturday. We had a small little birthday party for her with just immediate family. My sister braved the weather over the Sierra's and came down from Virginia City but had to head back early and barely made it back before the road closed. But it was a fun day, starting out with lunch at my house and ending with cake and ice cream at hers. She is in such great shape. She walks miles everyday, still drives, her mind is totally clear, lives by herself, and still kinda scares me when she gets mad. :) We will have a big party for her in June, with my aunt Eve, who will turn 88 (they are the only ones left in a family of 10), so her relatives around the country will be able to come also. Happy birthday Mom! I hope Igot her "energy" gene!
