More pictures of the kids...

Here are just a few of my favorite pictures that have been taken since my last post. I will try to post more frequently. Our computer crashed so it was slow for awhile. Enjoy!
Katie and her cute nose scrunch face!

Mom and the kids at the zoo...

Playing at the park outside of the zoo.

Going down a big slide at the Apple orchard/pumpkin patch. Sam LOVED it. We went down many times.

Katies favorite time is BATH time!

Yippee Mommy! I get to sit facing forward now. I am SO BIG!

Sam at his first swim lesson. The blond in the middle is his little cousin Lindsay. I have a feeling he is going to be in this class for awhile. He does not like getting his head under.

Sam on his first day of Preschool! He loves it. If you ask him who his best friend is he always says Chloe. She is a cutie! First girlfriend maybe :)

Here are some videos. I am so excited I can post these! THe first is Katie dancing. We say she is doing the Rump Shaker! Then she is playing Peek-a-Boo...so cute.

Then, b/c we lost some of the recent ones of Sam due to our computer problems :( Thought I would post one of MIke and my favorite videos of him. He is about 18 months. He loved driving dadoes truck! He knew a lot of words...as you can see some of them being, ball and car. I have a lot of work to do with Katie. She is not saying much of anything yet.

Sam and I went camping!

I figured since I am on here updating pictures of Katie I might as well go back aways and update some others too! Sam and I went to State Farm Camp Night with our best friends...Marla and Joshua. It was the first time Sam and I had gone camping. We did pretty good. Except his minor night terror and hard time breathing that night that at least woke Marla and I up!

All of us in front of one of the fountains. This turned out great. IT was hard b/c we were working with a 10 sec. timer!

Sam had a lot of fun with Josh's camping toys.

I think this pictures is so funny b/c his face is magnified. They are so cute!

Us in front of our tent that we all shared!

Katies 1st birthday!

Wanted to upload some pictures from Katies Birthday Party. She had a lot of fun. Helped open gifts, ate her cake and never got upset. The Mantle was all about her (and still is, to lazy to change it again :)

A few pictures of her eating her cake. I still cant figure this blog stuff out. I wanted to rearrange them but oh well. You get the picture :)

She is so sweet. She was just eating it all up, the attention that is...

Driving around in one of her gifts, her own little buggy!

Helping mommy open gifts. She loved the ones that were wrapped in paper!

I just love how she is sitting in this picture :)

My favorite one of the day. She is such a big girl. I just love her to pieces!

A video of her digging into her cake. I just wanted to see if it was easy to upload a video. It takes awhile but pretty neat!

Katie until present day :)

This was one of my favorites of Katie and her sweet smile. Since then I have got many more. She has dimples like her daddy and brother....but she has 2, not sure one, twice as sweet!
Please dont look at the dates of these. I am sure I am not in order like I was with Sam. Again, a second child thing. :( I could look at the dates but I am lazy and it is to close to bedtime!)
Papa's chair is "To Big" said Katie bear.
This chair is a little more my size! I loved this outfit. She has been so lucky to get clothes from Carly (one of her mommys cousins little girl), her cousins Lexi and Lindsay pass clothes down like she has two big sisters! Everything has been so darn cute. Thanks everyone :)
Mommy and her little Katie Kate! Don't really like this picture of me but it is cute of her! She is wearing her first Cardinals hat. If she is like her brother it won't fit long b/c they have huge heads! Again, another outfit we got from my best friend Marla sister heather! She has 3 girls!
Excuse me, you are kinda squishing me! Sam has always just adored his little sis. He is always so concerned when she is upset or if she is getting into something she shouldn't be getting into!
Another one of my favorites! Love these Pj's. I think we are going to base her 1st brithday cake and decorations around the paints and do polka dots! I almost think that is what we will do her new room whenever we decide to paint it too!
"Blue eyed girl"
Just love this so had to put it in, who doesn't like looking at pictures anyway, that is why people blog! The more the better right?!
This was a special day. Katie got to go with Mommy and Daddy to P-town and look at cars and go out to dinner. Just the 3 of us. Sam stayed behind with Nana and G-bob (this is when we lived with them while we were building our new house)
Just another cute smile picture. I think this was around easter so again, they got a little moved around and out of order but no big deal. I cant wait to post pictures of her 1st birthday. I came up to the computer to look for ideas and started doing this instead. Now it is time to go to sleep. Until next time....

Katie: First 6 months

OK. I know it is Katie's turn but it is hard not to post pictures of the two of them. I guess that is what happens when you have #2 and so on. First picture of Sam with his new baby sister. Man, I dont know if it is just me but when your first "baby" comes into the hospital to meet your second baby it makes the first one look soooooo big. I could not believe it. It is like he grew up over night :(
This was Katies hospital picture. Gotta love the little hair sticking up in the middle. If only I had a scanner I could post a picture of me with this same hair style when I was a baby!
Kinda looks familar doesn't it!! Except she has a head full of hair! How sweet.
My lil pumpkin for her first Halloween. She was only a couple weeks old.

Her first Christmas card picture! So sweet! Back then she could not get away so she was good at taking pictures, now not so much.

Ok, so this is only 2 months or so. I still cant figure out how to add more pictures w/o them going to the top and then it all being backwards. I am a computer idiot. I will figure it out someday!

Sam: 6-12 months

I just love this picture. Again, those cheeks. He loved reading books. This one was a favorite b/c it also had thing he could put in his mouth and chew on!
My lil Devil. First Halloween. Maybe I should find this outfit and see if Katie would fit in it. I just loved it.
This is one of daddy's favorite pictures of Sam. Playing peek a boo under the coffee table.
Sam's first photo for the Christmas card. I know, I am so mean. I just could not resist. Everyone does Santa hats. I found these reindeer ears and thought it would be cute!
My big 1 year old. Hard to believe his little sister is less then 2 months away from this. He was not walking yet but walking along things. His favorite thing to do was walk with his walker and when he ran into the wall he would look back at me for help b/c he was stuck! Before I go onto Sam's 2nd and 3rd year I think I will do Katie so far. You can tell me if you think they look like brother and sister!!

Sam's first 6 months

I thought it would be neat to put some paste pictures of my babies on here. I have taken tons of pictures, why not show them off. This is Sam's second day of life. Still hanging out in the hospital. One of my favorite pictures (which I will probably say that on every picture!) He was just so beautiful and perfect. We could not have asked for a more handsome little man.
I took a picture of Sam every week for awhile and then it was a little silly how many picutres I had so I starting taking them every month. That paci looks huge doesn't it! He is laying on a blanket made for him by his great grandma Rosie!
First good picture of Sam smiling. He has a dimple just like his daddy (this was one of his memaw's favorites b/c he is a mini Mike!)
When I see this picture now I think, WOW...him and his sister look so much alike. He was always good at taking pictures for me (probably b/c I had the camera in my hand 24/7)
My best friends brother took this picture of Sam. He is about 5 months. I just love those chubby cheeks.
