Sam's 6 month picture

Grandma's screen saver

So I had to steal my Mother-in-law's screen saver because I thought it was so darn cute. Plus I forgot my camera at Shaun's wedding which is where Lily and Griffin are in this picture. 

Fireworks Day!

 Mommy's little sparkler

Sam chillin' with Uncle Bill and cousin William.

We had a fun 4th of July, which my kids call Fireworks day. We had a BBQ at my brother's house and enjoyed his neighbor's fireworks. It was amazing, but quite scary. I think we all got hit with some sort of fireworks paraphernalia at some point.

Querry Reunion

Sam loves playing with Uncle B. (Jake's brother Bret)

One of the many reunions we have been to this year. This is the only one I've remembered my camera for so far. We got together with Jake's mom's side of the family.

Castle Park

 Sam's first time on the swing. He was a little tired, so he basically just tolerated it. He may be a bit small still as well.

 We have had a lot of fun trying out different parks around our house. This one is especially fun. The kids can see it off of Hwy 89 on the way to Grandma's house and have been begging to go there. We finally made it, and it didn't disappoint.

Griff has been getting a lot more coordinated and teachable and loves to practice hitting, especially when we're at Papa Lawn's house. (Jake's parent's house)

Cute Kids

 Usually the first thing people say about Sam is, "He's so happy!" I must agree. He is one happy kid most of the time and we sure love him.

 Lily and Griff love their brother and are very good helpers. Lily loves him a little too much at times and no one can make Sam laugh like Griff.

Best buds showing off their matching Batman shirts. So cute! People tell me all the time that Griff and Sam look sort of alike. Some know Griff is adopted some don't, but either way we know Griff belongs in our family.

Yum!

Here is Sam's first attempt at eating. He took quite a bit longer to actually enjoy his food than Lily and Griff, but after much persistence on my part, he is doing much better.
