What a crazy couple of weeks we've had!

Sorry it's been so long since you've seen a new picture. We have had a crazy couple of weeks. We closed on our new house on August 18, moved on August 19. Mom came down to help (thank goodness - we couldn't have done it without her!) and we got thing just settled enough an took off for th ebeach, leaving Jodie here all alone in his brand new house. In the middle of all this running around, we managed to get Sam to one last Little Gym class before summer ends. I'll post some pictures of all of it later. Stay tuned!

Packing Boxes.........Again!

Time to move again! I'm getting pretty good at packing boxes. And Sam likes to help! But, she's much better at unpacking than she is packing.

Better Late Than Never

Remember those 9-month picture I told you to look for? Well, two months later, here they are. They have been added to Kodak, so feel free to order a copy if you see one you like. I decided not to order a them for family and friends because we are so close to her 1-year-old pictures. They tuned out pretty good.

Here She Comes!

I was trying to get a picture os Sam walking for all of you who couldn't open the video of it. But as soon as she saw the camera, she came runnin'. Well, as close to running as she can do. It was really funny. I barely had enough time to snap this picture before she was in my lap.

Mini Trip to Cornelius

Sam and I took a mini trip to Cornelius this week to visit with a few friends and family. We had a really great little trip. We were able to see people that we are never able to visit with. Here are some pics from our trip.


Sam's Aunt Donna is a jeweler and she's already turning Sam into a girly girl with a cute little bracelet.Sam was so proud to be wearing it.


Here's Sam trying to play with her cousin, Thomas. But Thomas was too hypnotized by the TV to even notice that she was there. It had gotten so hot that day that I just took Sam's shirt off and let her play in her diaper.





This is a picture of my bother's youngest son, Bennett. Isn't he going to be a heart breaker!

Dance-time at the Trimble's. Tommy will turn on the music and let his boys dance around. I wish I could up-load the video of it. It's quite funny. But, here is a picture of Thomas trying to dance with Sam.

Bathtime! With 3 kids who all need baths, we would have had to start the process at 5:00 and by the time we were finished with the last one, the first one would be dirty again! So, we threw all 3 of them in at the same time. They had a ball pouring and splashing water all over one another.



Time for a bedtime story with Uncle Tommy. I think he tried to read 3 different books, but the kids wouldn't be still and listen to the story, so he finally gave up on the idea.





These are pictures of our visit with my bestfriend, Anna, and her baby. His name is Bryce and he was born in February. He's almost as big as Sam is! Anna's parents were there too and we all shared a laugh that we were kids with kids. It is hard to believe that we are all grown up - married with children!


















This one is a picture of my cousin, Rebecca, and her son, Isaiah. He was born in March and is also as big a Sam. What a sweetie!
