Compare 2001 to 2008

Everyone keeps saying that little Sam looks like Davis. So.... I am putting up a picture of Sam on his blessing day. He wore Davis' blessing outfit. I really don't think they look very much alike. What do you think??? This was the picture that looked most similar to the one above. Look how fat Davis is. He is the exact same age as Sam and in the exact same outfit. I really don't think they look alike.... maybe if Davis were a little thinner???

Look at this goofy picture. I can't believe how horrible my hair looks. I was a lot thinner though. Devan was such a cutie he just melts my heart. I think Willy looks the same, only now he has gray on the sides.

It is fun to compare these photos. Only 7 years later!!

Pics of Sam

I took Sam over to my friends house for a photo shoot. She has an awesome camera and loves to take pictures so I asked her if she would take some of little Sam. Here are a couple (until she photo shops the ones I like). I think they turned out so cute. His eyes are soo blue. Try not to notice all of his little scratches. Brooklyn had been getting too him. I think she is finally getting over being too mean to little Sam. I love this one too. It turned out great. Thanks for the photo shoot Ashley!!!

Let me Know

I would love to know who is looking at my blog. So leave a comment and let me know!!! Thanks everyone.

Sam's blessing day

Nearly all of Willy's family were at the blessing. I did not get a chance to take a picture of everyone but I did get one of Grandma and Grandpa with Sam on his special day. This is the only family shot we got with everyone semi decent. It is hard to get your family to look at the camera, smile, and keep their eyes open. What a hassle. I hope to get a real family photo soon!

Sam's blessing day.

We blessed our sweet baby Sam on Sunday, October 12. It was a nice day. Amber and Aaron drove up late on Saturday night. I was so glad that they came. Brooklyn was too! We enjoyed all of our company and were glad that Sam was so good for the blessing. Brooklyn still loves to hold Sam every chance she gets. We just have to watch her so she does not scratch him or pinch him and make him cry. Little stinker.

My Mom came up for the weekend. We had a good time going to diner and a movie with the kids. We saw Journey to the Center of the Earth. It was a cute movie. My kids love it when Nana comes because we always get to do something special.
I have no idea why we took all of the pictures in Sam's room. It was cold and snowy outside so I guess we just took pictures in his room. I know the background is goofy.

When Pumpkins Drink

I thought this was funny! It was in an email Willy sent me. Thought I would share it with you all

Mighty Hunters

Willy took the boys hunting today and brought this back. I prayed that they would not shoot anything, because I could not stand the thought of Willy butchering it in my garage. They got this anyway. Although it is not the monster buck they were dreaming of, they were pretty excited anyway. They froze their butts off and saw a lot of game. I think they had a good time.

Sam is 6 weeks old!

Sam is growing too fast. He has been such a delight. We loving having a new brother. He had spit up or peed thru several outfits on this day. So I got out one of the outfits my Dad bought him from Osh Kosh. It was a little big, but it looked so cute on him. I kind of think it makes him look older than his 6 weeks. I don't like him to look older but he sure looks cute.

He has started to smile and coo at me. I tried to get a picture of it but he did not cooperate.

Gun fight

The kids in our neighborhood have gotten really into having air-soft gun fights. They have all earned the money to go out and buy one and they have regular fights daily. They are having a great time. I just hope no one gets hurt. I let Devan shoot be in the leg from a long ways away. It stung. I would hate to be in a fight. They wear eye protection but not much else. I am glad they are getting their energy out and having a good time.

Football Action

Devan's team made the playoffs with a record of 5 and 1. We had our first game on Wednesday night and we won 13 to 8. So we are on to our next and toughest round on Tuesday. If we win we go on to the championship game Saturday if we loose we are out! I will keep you posted. Devan is number 7
As I was watching the game and taking pictures i looked over to notice Brooklyn drinking out of this pop. She saw me and new she should not be doing it so she backed away and smiled mischieviously. I said to her, "who's pop are you drinking?' It was really her Dad's pop so it was no big deal. But it was funny.
She had a great time playing at the game with her friends. A lot of people ask us if this little girl is Brooklyn's sister.

Football Mania

Brooklyn playing at the football game!Devan is the QB
I love this picture of the team captains, meeting and shaking hands. I love it because it is Devan and some of his best friends, Connor and Max and it is such a great thing that they all get to play football together!

New Name

I need a new name for my blog. As we have added little Sam, our name does not work. As my brain is fried from lack of sleep and adult conversation, I can not think of a really clever name. So if any of you have something great in mind, let me know.
