Shopping?

This was sometime in July. We were at the mall and stopped by Gymboree. I was too busy shopping to catch this Kodak moment (sucking up every second that I could while I didn't have a whining toddler or husband following me around). Thanks for taking this pic, Dani!

Finger Painting

...and watching a movie at the same time. Both were her gifts to celebrate how great she is doing at going potty like a big girl.

Goofy

Ice Cream Monster

1st Haircut

Sami's hair is so funny. It is straight and super curly at the same time. The top layer and sides are all straight, but the back bottom layer (think mullet) is super curly. It looks so goofy if I don't put it in a ponytail. I'll take a picture of it sometime for you. Anyway, it's been extra out of control, so I decided it was time to visit Amber for Sami's first haircut. Thanks Amber!!!

Too busy giggling with Amber and checking herself out in the mirror to eat her sucker

Biker Chick

The dull picture on the bottom was taken by cell phone at the Harley shop. Joe and Sami were pretending that they were in our garage and those were all of their motorcycles. Sweet dreams.

Our tree removal service

I just realized I need to post a pic for today. This is what you get. It's a couple of months ago when Joe cut down the tree in our front yard. He was taking all of the necessary safety precautions: working alone, wearing his motorcycle helmet...unbuckled, ladder tied to the tree, tree tied to the pickup (that's the line that you see on the upper right) and chainsaw in hand. I took this thinking I was about to come into some money.

Women Drivers No Survivors

So the neighbor boy was very generous and shared his tractor/truck with Sami...even let her drive! This was her first experience on one of these things and she picked it up pretty quick...


...there was just this tiny little crash.

Dining Out

Out to dinner at Divot's - Before shot.

After shot. She was being so silly and wild at this point that all of the pictures I took were blurry or she wasn't even in them!

This was last night, but I love how it looks like she is peeking through the bubbles.
