Mother's Day

For Mother's Day this year we drove down to Rio Rico and surprised Peter's mom. It was awesome. We got there while she was at church and whipped up a yummy lunch and when she got home she was totally surprised!
It was a great day. There was food, toys, bubbles, baseball, hide and seek, books and lots and lots of smiles and laughter.
Hope you had a great day Grammie-we love you!!


Grammie and her silly grandkids:)

Great Grandma Blankie

That's what Sammie calls Great Grandma...because she's the one who made the kids their blankies. It's sweet. We had a big family party for her 89th this year. It was really fun watching all o the kiddos playing together. Reminded me o my childhood...tons of kids running around all over the place. Good times! I think great grandma really enjoyed all of the attention. And we enjoyed a day with the family. It's not very often that we're all together.


Great grandma with all the kiddies, reciting a
poem...even though we were taking pictures.
It was funny--she shushed the kids at one point-ha!

Of course there was cake...we have the face to prove it!

Sammie spent the entire party with her cousin Vivian.
They are only 6 months apart and just loved being together.

We need to get them together more often!!!

BFF's

Today some BFF's came over and we enjoyed some food, fun and beautiful weather. Ana and Sammie were up to their usual shanaigans...dress up, wands, jewelry and playing house.
Today was a big day for Cole and Tyler. Pretty sure today was the first day they've ever actually played "together"--on purpose! If Tyler wasn't around Cole, he would put his hands to his face and yell, "Ty Ty..." Very cute:) It was a great day.
Thanks friends!

Car wash

Yesterday was a superb day. Peter took the kids to the zoo all morning. Then they napped for 3 hours...seriously! Ater naps it was car wash time. Cole and Sammie suited up and helped Peter wash the cars. Then it was to the back yard to play in the pool, have a snack and give Sammie her biog surprise! I got her this awesome quad car...couldn't pass it up-$20 at kidtokid. All in all a great day.

Baby Daddy

Cole has been really into Sammie's baby lately. Here he is taking care of her...feeding, rocking and snuggling. He loves sitting in the baby pack and play with a blanket saying, "Nite nite". Funny kid.


Snuggle time.

Cought in the act!

All done.

Oh yea-he likes the strollers too!

He'll love me for these pictures someday! HA!
