From Our House to Yours

Annie’s First Birthday!

It’s amazing to think back one year, and remember her as a brand-new baby! It’s so fun to watch her grow…we all love her to death. (But, man, she keeps me hopping nowadays!)

Update: She’s not walking yet, but has great crawling and climbing skills. She says/whispers “I,” which we think means “hi.” Still hoping for some more hair and a few more teeth!

You may wonder why there’s no cake–we’ve been saving it to share with the extended family at our Snowbird reunion. We’ll post more pictures later.

Jug milk with her Cheerios! What a milestone!

Sammy’s 4th Birthday!

Sam turned 4 years old! I decided to try my hand at a Wall-E cake. He got some water toys/plastic pool, and a dance cam that lets him watch himself dancing with characters on the TV. (Sam loves to see himself on camera.) Carl was heading out of town for work, so we celebrated twice–cake and presents with Dad the night before, then a waterfight on the night of!

Mother’s Day 2009

I love Mother’s Day! I love all the little (often hand or school-made) cards, gifts, and services–and I especially love the KIDS!

Easter 2009

The Easter Bunny came, and we had Aunt Beth for dinner!
