What's up Doc?

Yesterday Peter and Sammie were planting the summer garden and cleaning up and look what they found!!!! We cleaned them, peeled them and cooked em up! They were delish!

At the park...again!

So we were at the park...again yesterday. It was such a pretty morning. We brought the baseball gloves, balls and bat and had some fun practicing baseball. And of course there was digging, swinging and sliding too!
We love the park:) I have to say, I am NOT looking forward to the HOT summer.

Today

Just another day in the life...here's what we've been up to.


When is it not fun to twirl???

Daddy built us this awesome swing...
we both hate it and won't go near
it...this was the only minute of fame it
got!!! Sorry Daddy-A for effort.

Enjoying a picnic this morning in Sammie's room.

The hostess with the mostess!

Good day for a drive

Today we decided it was a good day to explore. So we loaded up the car and headed up to Cave Creek to the Rio Verde river. We packed a picnic and were on our way. We enjoyed all of the wildflowers along the way--mostly yellow and purple. Sammie was a little sad there was not much red! The hills were covered in yellow flowers..I really should have taken a picture-oops!
The river was so full we couldn't believe it...we even saw an otter!!! That was the excitement of the day. Then we skipped some rocks, fished with reeds and had our picnic. Then, we snoozed all the way home (at least the kids and I did!) It was a beautiful way to spend an Arizona spring day!


Picking out rocks to throw in.

Getting a lesson in skipping rocks. Peter has
got the touch! I was much better when I was
about 10!

Hangin out.

I love her face, "Sorry Mom, I don't know what to

tell you!"

Fishin.

"Cheese".

Talkin with Daddy.

One of my new faves...gazing up at

Daddy.

He really amuses himself. It's funny.

BTW, 2 seconds later he was crying?!

New jammies & a haircut!

This morning we were out and about and found some new jammies. Now I don't know about everyone else's kids, but my kids (at least Sammer) love wearing and getting jammies. Sammie picked out a purple castle nightgown that says, "Daddy's Princess" and Cole chose Doggy footies. Now, for those of you who aren't familiar with Cole...he will NOT sit in a cart or stroller so he and Samantha were walking through Kohls holding hands...very cute. (They did also play a little hide and seek in the clothing racks...we won't get into that!) But when it came time to choose jammies they were ready. They were both very excited to sport their new digs tonight-maybe they are magical pajamas that will make them sleep in?

Later in the day Sammie went with me to get her haircut. I have never taken her with me to my girl Holly before. She loved it. She got her hair washed in the fun sink, sat in the big chair and got her hair blown dry...which they don't do at great clips let me tell you! It was great. She was so patient while I got my hair done..she just sat there and watched, ate some goldfish, colored and mostly just listened in on our conversation. It was a fun girly thing to do together! I can't wait til she's bigger and we can go have spa weekends..why just a day I say?! Ha!
