Chasing Waterfalls

On Saturday we went to Falls Park in Sioux Falls.  It was chilly, but still beautiful to see and listen to.  What was the most beautiful for everyone to listen to was me singing "Don't go chasing waterfalls, please stick to the rivers and the lakes that your used to..." by TLC because I could not get the song out of my head.

Too Slow

For Easter weekend we went to Sioux Falls to spend the holiday with my Dad, Angela and the rest of the family. Sami had a BLAST playing with her cousins all weekend and it was a huge bonus when she got to go swimming with them.  So it was only natural that she show off. 

I tried and tried and tried to take an action shot of her jumping into the pool...

 but I was either too slow...

 or took it too early...

she was going in and out of the pool so fast I didn't think that I would ever get my shot

until FINALLY I caught her.
It's not even a great picture, but I am just happy that I got it after all that work!

 Sami and Joe decided to bake chocolate chip cookies from scratch

 and it's not really baking if you don't get to taste the work in progress

and then sneak another taste.


I was so excited when I saw the finished product, my only focus was sneaking a cookie while it was still hot and gooey.  Sooo I forgot to take a picture of the two with their finished product.

Your Grandma Called...

...and she wants her clothes back.

Tension

This picture, taken today, illustrates the tension we often see in Sami when she is near Stella.

Also, IMPORTANT MILESTONE TO DOCUMENT: "Mama" !!!! Yay! Sami and I have heard it before (Joe denied it), and today Stella just couldn't stop talking about me. Awww. OH! And her TOP TWO TEETH are through, so four total!

 My photo taking lately has been...well, it hasn't been.  So I am going to try post a photo a day to encourage me to take more pics.
