New Blog

Hey ya'll. We got a new email address and decided it was time to change our blog. Our new blog address is :
The Gutierrez Team

I will send an email from our new email address to my friends who are private so they can add us again. I will keep this blog up for about another week, but I will be posting on the new blog. :)

So thanks for everyone for changing us around! :)

Back from the St.G

Well, we are back in Arizona. We had so much fun in St. George! Except...Vannah was a cry baby while we were there. She was not acting like herself. I think there were too many people, but it was so embarrasing because we also tell everyone what a great baby she is and she totally made liars out of us! But good thing we have tons of video tape to send to our family to prove that she is normally an angel! LoL.

Natalie's birthday was so much fun. I still feel like I did not get to visit much with everyone. But everything was so busy and Vannah kept on getting messy. Natalie is so adorable and so tall! She is only 2 years old and 3 feet. It makes sense considering my brother is 6"5 and Linda is actually tall too. Also, Vannah is shorter percentile for her height, so they looked more than a year apart. I was videotaping most of the time, so i did not get as many pictures, so I will just post a few. To see more, you can go to my MySpace k. MySpace Profile

Anxious...

Natalie and Savannah


I am so anxious right now! I cannot describe my excitement!!!!
This weekend, our lil fam is driving up to St. George to see my brother, his wife and my niece natalie for her 2nd birthday! I am so excited. I have not seem them since last Thanksgiving and it is way overdue. I miss my bro like crazy and although I talk to him on the phone, it is just not the same.
I am just so excited to get Natalie and Savannah together! I am also excited to see my cousins Blaire, Kenz, and Terrah. I saw Terrah recently, but I have not seen Blaire and Kenzie AND Kenzie's lil girl, Kembry! the last time I saw Kembry, she was just crawling, not even walking and now she is a little girl.
I will also get to see my family from California. Oh goodness I am excited. When we get back, i will post pictures. :)

Anywho, besides that, I wanted to tell all my "blog friends", which isn't many, that I enjoy reading and seeing what everyone is up to. I love hearing about old friends and family and how they are doing in their lives. It is quite amazing how we all live in different states and have grown so much, yet we are all on similar paths in our lives. Getting married, settling down, going to school and working, starting families, making life changes...our lives are just starting. :) So, thank you for letting me have a look into your lives and know you all are doing ok. :)
luv em.

Start Your Engines....

So, yesterday, me and Lindsey took Savannah up to Laughlin Ranch to take some pictures for her 1st Birthday. We took a lot, so I posted a few samples below. She is only 11 months right now, but I needed to take the pictures early of course. It was fun, but we could not for the life of us get her to smile. Usually she loves the camera and smiles all the time. I think it was because there was so much to look at.
Savannah is fully walking now....only barefoot, but walking nonetheless. She likes to climb the stairs and pick up toys and take them to the other side of the room. Along with walking, she figured out how to "duck" and crawl under our bed. :/
Johnny started walking at 9 months, fell down and did not get up again until he was a year and half! I think my mom told me I started at 9 months. So, I am glad Vannah started at an average age.
I think Vannah has also said her official first words. Since she was a lil infant, she always said "dada". But I think in the last few months, she has now realized who dada is. So other than dada, i think her other first official word is "Georgia". Yes...Georgia, our dog's name. It is not the easiest word for a baby or toddler to say, but she knows who our dog is and somehow she says the name clear enough: "Dorga". :) Her favorite stuffed animal is Curious George and she knows the difference between "Dorga" and "Dorge". I have never been around babies, never grew up with them and never babysat when I was younger. So, I think that besides Vannah being my daughter, i just love watching this lil person develop a personality. :)

Savannah Belle Bowtique!!!

Hello Everyone!

I have finally launched my blog for Savannah Belle Bowtique! Yay! I also have a myspace up for SBB also! I make hair bows....from infants, to toddlers, to little girls for all occasions. I make simple bows to themed bows, to cheerleading bows, pageant bows and bows custom made to match each individual outfit.

My goal is to provide boutique style bows at the same quality as other sites, but for an affordable price...(especially for us young couples out there!) Here is the site address: (but before you visit it, please read the rest of this blog!):Savannah Belle Bowtique



Here are some samples of my work:
I custom make bows to match outfits, holidays, etc.



This is the "Simple So" in purple.


Special Themed Bows, such as
The "Snow White".


These are Infant Bows.


Every bow can be attached to a headband for only $1.00.



FYI: Right now, I do not have individual prices up. I am still under construction and figuring out the best price for each bow, (based on other bow dealers). I promise to give you the best price when you email me.
Customer does pay for shipping and handling, which is, most of the time, $2.00. If it is anymore than that, I will offer to pay a portion.
Once I get my site completely up and running, i will have a "Bow of the Month" and when you spend a certain amount or buy certain bows, I will throw in a free bow. As of now, I am awaiting brand new customers, and for being one of my first customers, I offer better prices and throw in a free "glamour/specialty bow" with each order.

Ears Pierced....

Vannah got her ears pierced!!! I did not take her though. She is now 10 months and her Auntie Linds took her on Monday to the mall to get them done. I could have no way been there. I cry when she gets her shots at her pediatrician! Linds even told me that she was suprised that got tears in her eyes when Savannah cried. It is horrible to see my baby in pain. So, I am glad that I was not there! But...she is doing great. She does not pull on them and she likes looking at them in the mirror.
Here are some pics of Vannah with her pretty diamond earrings and the lil mexican dress her Great Gramma Jackie bought her in Mexico.




In other news...in a month we are going up to St. George for my niece, Natalie's 2nd birthday. I am so excited to see her, (and my brother and his wife). We have not seen them since Thanksgiving last year. They only live 3 hours away. It is sad that I have not been up there more often to see them. We need to make more of an effort to drive up there!

In other news. Monsoons in Arizona have been on the rise the last week and continue to go. What is good about Monsoons is that while the sky darkens and the winds rise, the actual "monsoon" does not usually last more than an hour or so. Bad news is that when they come...they hit quick, hard, and dangerous with rain, wind, hail, dust storms, thunder, lightening and...flooding. (this may be the desert, but it does not mean it is flat!) Here are some pics I leave you with of Arizona Monsoons:

and the winner is....

Joshua!!! Yay...Joshua won So You Think You Can Dance (season 4). I am so excited. I thought either him or Katee would win and so I was happy with Joshua winning. He almost did not make the Top 20 and he was never formally trained. He was a street dancer who was able to take on everything that SYTYCD threw at him! He really did deserve to win!!!


Here are some links to his routines:
