Bear Bread

So I saw this article in a magizine to make a Bear out of bread and thought it would be great for Sami and I to do together. She loves to help me cook in the kitchen and since she started playing with Playdoh she was able to help me pretty easily with the rolling and such. The best part was when she would tell me what we were missing, like the eyes and nose and mouth.

More Pictures

Only in Arizona is thier a splash pad at the outdoor malls. Sami loves to get in the water.


Kate's first time in the pool. Naked too!

Sami having fun at the Play area in the mall.

Kate Kissing me, well not really, but close....(The outfit she is wearing is what Sam came home from the hospital in.)

Sam or Kate???

Sometimes it is hard to beleive how much Sam and Kate look alike. So I wondered if I am the only one.

Take a guess at who you think this is. I will post the answer sometime next weekend. Either way it is a cute baby to watch. Then Post a comment and let me know.

Independence Day

This 4th of July we missed out on Fireworks, but we spent the whole evening with all my Arizona Family and had a great time. It was nice to hang out and relax with some great food and company. Sorry Pat, I didn't end up with a picture of you this time. Not sure what happened, but don't feel bad I am not in any of the pictures either.

Sarah, Ian, and Katelyn


Mari and Katelyn


Samantha and Ian had a long conversation.


Then played with the Nintendo DS.

And then Ian played with Baby Kate too!

Brian tried to show Sam how to throw Pop-Its, but she couldn't get them to pop.

Recent Pictures

Recently I walked the girls down to the park and Sami was able to play somewhere else besides the backyard. It will probably be the last time for a while, it is too hot to walk that far with the baby in her car seat. Then there are a few pictures of the girls playing in the house.

1st Visit to Chucky Cheese

Sami was invited to her first Birthday party at Chucky Cheese a few weekends ago and seemed to really enjoy everything but Chucky. She loved playing all the games. Her and Noah were even big enought to play air Hockey and Sam won!..Well poor Noah kept dropping the puck in his goal... The last picture is as close as she would get to Chucky and that is only because I was standing right there and she had a few buffers with the other kids.
