This year I did a lot of sewing for the boys’ costumes. And thanks to my procrastination they got to change who they wanted to be at the last minute.
Meet Ash Ketchum:

This costume was really fun to put together and I was thankful that Perrin picked somebody who only required a jacket and […]

Yesterday, during a homework recess, the boys we out back and blew bubbles. It became more entertaining once Sammy joined in and I grabbed my camera to catch the fun.
When I was going thru the pictures today they made me laaaaaaaugh! I love his determination to jump and pop the bubble. He’s actually quite good […]

Easily the best toy we’ve bought, and a big favorite with Sam, is his wubba! If you have a dog, you’ve probably seen these everywhere! They are easily found in pet supply stores as well as online and in retail chains.
I love them! Easy to play tug of war with and to toss for […]

It’s been getting hot over here and my blogging slowed down, mostly due to the boys taking swim lessons from their Auntie Heather. They’ve been having tons of fun, making lots of progress and it’s been a great way to start the day with the temperatures rising!
Unfortunately the other little boy around here can’t join […]

The boys have started swimming lessons with their Auntie Heather and are having a blast! On the first day it was nice and relaxing after lessons because it wore them out. Then I realized it was a little too quiet, and every parent knows what that usually means! So I went looking for Owen […]

It’s Monday, the boys are of-track until August 3rd (So happy to be going to B Track!), and we have started a major home re-organization in an effort to make our home a more relaxing and functional place to be.
So while I’m humoring Don today, here is a recent picture of Sammy’s puppy face!

Good-bye Fanny Pack! Hello Sammy Pack!
In preparation for taking Sammy on his first hiking trail this weekend I stopped by PetSmart and picked him up his own backpack/saddle bags to carry his stuff in. I’m dubbing it The Sammy Pack.
He gave us such a pitiful look when I first put it on him […]

Been spending time with this fuzzy face as well as celebrating two Birthdays within two days of each other.
While I get those pictures ready to share, I thought I’d show you the face I get when I’m holding treats. Sammy is very interested in getting treats, and he lets you know it!
Fortunately, with […]

Been having a lot of fun taking this fur ball out on daily walks.
The boys and I go in the mornings for about 50 minutes. Then in the evenings we all go together for about 40 minutes.
He’s getting really good at being in the van for the drives and you can tell he’s happy […]

I snapped this photo yesterday and I just love it! The look on Perrin’s face is priceless.
He’s been so excited to have a dog and just loves Sammy, so he’s always happy to get big wet puppy kisses.
