Party at the Jacksons

Mary threw a kids bash today and boy was it fun. Snacks and sweets, goodie bags and lots of playing. The kids played SO well together that we didnt' even get to any organized games!! Thanks for the fun morning Mary and Tyler.

Pretty little ladies.

Cole loves this swing almost as much as he loves his BFF.

Happy to be with his bud.

Preschool party

Sammie's class has their Halloween parade yesterday. All the kids came dressed up and got to walk around the courtyard for all of the families. It's such a cute event. The kids all look so proud and shy at the same time. Sammie is a "fairy, ballerina, butterfly, princess". All of her favorite things rolled into one.

Fun at the farm

Yesterday we went to Asher's 3rd birthday party at Mother Nature's Farm. There was a fun bouncy house (Sammer bounced the night away!), pumpkin hunting and decorating, pizza, cake, ballons, a sunset hay ride and lots of animals to say hi to. It was a fun way to spend the evening. Thanks Olimbs for including us in your joy.

How old are you Asher?! Ha!

Pinkalicious!

Yesterday Sammie and I had a fun girls day. We started by going to see Pinkalicious at the Valley Youth Theater. For those of you who aren't familiar, it's a children's book about a little girl who loves pink! Sound familiar? It was the first play I've taken her to and she loved it, as did I! We had front row seats! The show was really awesome, kind of made me want to put Sammie into acting-I think she'd love it.
Then we went to AJ's for a cookie. Pulled up a table right next to the big fountain and made a couple wishes with the pennies I had. Then we walked arounf the shopping plaza going in and out of this store and that.
It was a great way to spend a day. Looking forward to many more "girls days" with my Sammer Jammer.

Aunt Katie

Last weekend my family threw a huge party for my grandpa's 90th birthday! It was wonderful, and to make it even more wonderful-my sister Katie flew in form Virginia to go. It was SO wonderful to see her. Sammie got really attatched and was sad to see her go but we made some great memories in the short time she was here. Thanks for sleep over/hair salon/house/snuggles/belly laughter/ and just your time Aunt Katie. We miss you!!!!!!!
