Nana's here

Yesterday Nana flew in and we picked her up at the airport. So exciting...Sammie loves going to the airport to see the planes and was very excited to see her Nana. It's great-like a new BFF in the house. "Nana-play with me, Nana-take me potty, Nana-help me get dressed"etc! She even told me, "Mommy, I don't want you to play with us-you go rest on the couch." I told her I had been waiting 3 years to hear those words-ha!
Cole wasn't feeling too good yesterday (those darn teeth)-hence no pictures of him. Hopefully today he's more himself.
It'll be a fun week:)


Nana daisy!

We played in the playhouse-Nana even climbed in!

We wrote stories-thanks for the new paper Nana.

And we played in the tent-Sammie refused a smile!!

Ballet

Our good friends the Crockers are always passing clothes down to us. Their daughter Karis is exactly a year older than Sammie. This last batch of clothes was a big hit not only because there were dresses (Sammie's favorite) but there were 2 tutu's!
So last night while Peter was grilling she turned into our ballet teacher...or as she calls it "valet teacher"!
Ha--it's so funny that she calls it valet. I can just picture her parking cars in this get up!
Thanks Karis!!!!

Little People, Big Boy

Happy 8 month birthday big boy. You are getting so big! We love you.


Sitting in his big boy booster.

I love my toes.

So handsome.

Cole has discovered the joy of little people!

He loves to play with them...it is so funny.

Ok, he mostly eats them all but hey-it's still play:)

The new do

The other night Sammie was helping her daddy get the new pools that we got all blown up and ready. She was playing in Cole's little baby pool while daddy was blowing hers up and yowza was there some static!!!!!!! Granted-this is what she looks like every day when she plays crazy on the couches but I still had to get it on film!!!
You may be saying, "Isn't it a little early for pools?" Uh-no. It was already up in the 90's! We need water...it's our friend when we are trapped in our home with nowhere to go! You are all welcome to come over and play with us:)

Peek-A-Boo

Cole decided he was not ready for his nap today and instead wanted to play peek-a-boo. I peeked in just to see if he was asleep and this is what I saw. Of course I had to run and get the camera because it was so funny.
What I probably did was just teach him that this is our new fun game! Oh well!!
He was laughing histarically--it was worth it:)
