Wordless Monday

The joy of a new best friend. 

2 Years Ago...

Hannah was two and Samuel was just a little fellow.  In fact, two years ago today he would have been just shy of being 6 months old.

 {clearly not 6 months old but tiny & cute!}

 

My, oh my, how time does fly!!

Who Has a Beard?

As we were sitting down for supper this past Friday, the following conversation transpired:

 ******

Bobby: "There's food in my beard."  (or some comment along those lines.  there was some mention of his beard.)

Samuel:  looks up at Bobby and studies his beard for a moment.  Then remarks, "I have beard toooo!"

Bobby:  "Where?!  You don't have a beard!"  At this point Samuel is in Bobby's face and is seriously studying his beard.

Samuel:  "Right here."  triumphantly points at his bare chin.  Guess he finally realized where a beard should be...

So we all have a good laugh and pretend that Samuel really does have a beard. 

Later I found our Halloween face crayons and then we had a really good laugh when I painted beards on both kids.

 

My Dad's Birthday

was july 15th.

he turned 62. 

The kids colored him some home made birthday cards.

I baked him some delicious (if I say so myself!) home made Coconut Cupcakes.

We spent the evening with him.  

Hannah & Samuel crawled all over him.  

We sang "Happy Birthday".  

Then kids helped him blow out his candles.

The next day my mom, my sister, Bobby, the kids and I took him to lunch at his favorite place.

Texas Roadhouse.

I think he had a pretty fun birthday.  He ended up with a lot of cupcakes and cakes.  Some ladies from their church made him cupcakes, I made some, a store he frequents bought him a cake and my Grandma made him one as well.  

So we went back yesterday to eat some more cake!

Maybe we'll go back tomorrow evening as well...

Hannah Said...

Today I jumped on the trampoline with Hannah and Samuel.  It's a little hot outside and I really worked up a sweat jumping. 

In the midst of jumping I remarked, "I'm one hot tamale!"

Hannah replied, "You mean you're one hot ta-mommy! And I'm one hot ta-Hannah!"

This isn't the first time she's said this.  In fact sometimes I say it just to hear her say "ta-mommy!" 

It's just too cute...  I love it!!

Nudist Colony {Revisited}

Remember this post that I wrote at the beginning of my blogging career?
Two year old Hannah running amok in her birthday suit.
And teeny tiny Sammy falling asleep naked.

Now two year old Sammy is following in his sister's footsteps.  Tuesday evening we returned home from swimming all day at High Falls.  I told the kids to take off their swimsuits but not to put on more clothes because I was in the midst of running them some bath water.  No problem.  I came out of the bathroom and the kids were no where to be found.  

I look out the kitchen window to see Hannah & Sam standing next to the van.  Hannah, being the lady that she is, was still completely dressed.  Samuel, on the other hand, was buck naked except for Hannah's red lady bug galoshes.  I have no idea why he's fascinated with those shoes!  

I had to snap a few shots of my gorgeous little Coppertone Baby...

{Clearly I had to do a little photo editing!!}

Lately...

We've 

Exercised.  It's important to stay healthy you know.

 

Practiced learning our numbers. 

 

Had a Tea Party and invited some pretty fancy guests. 

 

 

{including the Mad Hatter.} 

Spent some time with Papa - it's almost been a year since he had his "tuna" removed and he's doing great!

 

This one speaks for itself... 

And Samuel perfected the art of sleeping standing up.
