First Cut

Really quick I have to add the pictures of Sammie's first hair cut. She did so well she can't wait to go back! Sammie loves Kim!!

Here she is with daddy just before we go. Uncle Tony is making her laugh.

She is actually laughing!

Look this is serious business.

Okay one last check...

Ok looks great now do I get the candy!

Well we have had a busy couple of weeks and it doesn't seem to be slowing down. Next week I will attempt to add more pictures from the island.

Just silly stuff...

Well it's been 6 long days since we have seen daddy. We are all getting a little bit CRAZY. Miss Meg decided to make some cupcakes for us to help get us through the next 3 days. I guess Sammie didn't realize your suppose to eat the whole cup cake. She got to four cake tops before mommy realized that was all she was eating. Caught her in the act....

Oops mommy no...

"yes I funny mama".

No I don't know who ate those tops..

Well we can't wait for Thursday to get here to see our daddy. HE reports that he recently was re-located on the island to a new apartment. OF course as things go on the island he can't move in yet because the fire inspector is on vacation. Maybe in two weeks we'll have pictures of the new place.

Our first trip north...

Well we had a very successful long weekend. It happen to be extended by one extra day just to hang out with Daddy. We also were blessed with our first visitors to the island....Uncle Mike and Aunt Erin. Who of course make us laugh so much. We have a couple of silly pictures. So on with the show right?

Sammie getting all packed up.

The first trip to the butterfly house. Hello Mr. Turtle.

Say Cheese for mommy.

Yes I am so smart putting in all the pieces.

Having fun on the boat. Silly mommy.

Daddy working hard.

Uncle Mike and Aunt Erin we are half way around the island.

Out cold and refusing to take off her coat.

At the toy store. I love the face.

Silly hats on Erin and Sammie.

Sammie trying to ride daddy's bike.

Second trip to the butterfly house with Daddy this time.

Sitting so nicely with the butterfly. And yes the butterfly is still alive.

We have so many memories from such a short weekend. We can't wait to go back!

May has come...

And Sammie has been hit with allergies. In our house we are currently on the hunt for tissues all the time now. Sammie just looks like every other completely miserable allergy stricken person. She having such a hard time she is so grouchy and her parents are trying really hard to remember that she feels horrible. I do have some cute little pictures of her latest Prinearalla dress....

I think the pink sun glasses and the crocs make the dress!

She is kind of a cheese ball..

Now just a couple of weeks ago we were brave enough to take Sammie to the small animal exhibit at MSU. Sammie was in LOVE with all of the animals and couldn't get enough. Of course nap time came much sooner than Sammie would have liked so we have to leave the horses. Here are just a few of the pictures from our day of fun.

Mommy and Sammie checking out this turtle which was on the run from all the kids.

Theses were some cute little piggies.

This was one of many horses we had to visit.

More horses outside.

Sammie was channeling her ancestors in painting the horses.

Yes I need more yellow I think.

Oh how sad the day is over...whew the parents are tired!

Yup we have been busy...

SO I know I know I know...I haven't posted in a while. We have been really busy and before you know it...well the day starts all over again.

In the past month we have gotten our basement finished with new furniture and a flat screen TV. It's just amazing how much more room we have!! We also made a major purchase for our family's future by buy some gun Micky wanted. All I know is now we have to get some other gun and a large safe. Sammie is just so funny these days. Even when she is super naughty she manages to make me laugh. Her latest is the ballerina dancing. If I were to try to describe it would not do any justice. I actually cried I was laughing so hard the first three times. Finally I have gotten the video camera out to try to catch it but of course like everything she won't let me. Okay on to up load as many pictures as my computer will handle tonight because I know really that's what your looking for!

Sammie and mommy on V-Day.

This is Sammie with her Froggy from Grandpa!

Here is mommy trying to help Sammie bowl. Looks like we got some pins down.

Silly Sammie and Daddy.

Oh these are some of my favorite. Sammie with Avery at the indoor play land. My heart broke a little because as we went in she asked if Colin would be coming. So again we had to explain Colin lives is Texas.

Two little butts!

Avery with her Daddy...I just love her smile.

Yes, thats our Sammie showing Avery all the naugthy things to do in restaurants that makes her parents crazy.

Well that's if for now. Hope you enjoy...I bet your just glad I finally updated my blog.

To Skate or not...

Well it was a very big weekend around here. Sammie's nanny had graduation party but it wasn't just any kind of party we went roller skating! First of all I do believe that Micky and I were way more excited than Sammie was to go roller skating. We of course had to make sure Sammie had all the right "gear" she had new Dora skates and pads. We got to the rink put the roller skates on...and Sammie freaked out. She wouldn't even go near the skate floor at all. I have one picture of Sammie in her skate and she's sitting on a video game. Well we tried... I have lots of fun photos of course.......

Here is the only photo with the skates...

My little cheese ball.

Sammie is with, Kate, Jac, Grace, and Maragret.

Who is that guy with Sammie?

Sammie is with Abby and Jac. Look closely she is not wearing skates!

It's COLD outside

Let's just say it's crazy cold outside. Yesterday was a high of 8 degrees with the crazy wind is felt like -15. I have some fun pictures of Sammie in her hats for the winter months. Also have some forgotten pictures from x-mas...

This is Sammie showing us just how cold it is...you also have to know she is wearing daddy's hat and summer PJ's! LOL

This is Sammie showing off her new hat from aunt TT. Again she is totally in her naked phase.

OH look at this little hooter Riley showing off for his aunt Becca.

Looks so sweet with that smile, Brock.


Sammie showing off her princarella jewels from Aunt Heidi and Poor Uncle Mark!

Here is just part of the crazy presents at Nana and Papa's

Here is Brock trying to open something.

I think what I love about this is that all three of them are looking in different directions! Riley, Sammie, and Brock.

It has been a busy month of January we had to finish celebrating the holidays. We had a special treat by making another trip to Skegon to see Uncle Bud and Aunt Jeanie. Of course that meant some more time with the rest of the bunch too which we can't get enough of. Sammie has grown so much this month too of course we are starting to work on the whole potty training with not much success. She said she would rather "oop in her diaper mama!" So I have bought just about every potty book they make and Sammie is happy other people use that potty. It's just not for her. Guess we'll try again later.
