A happy belated birthday post for my BIG girl!

This is our Sammy girl and yesterday she turned 7, yes 7!! I know most parents say that time flies and that they can't believe their kid is already X years old, but really... WE CAN'T BELIEVE WE HAVE A 7 YEAR OLD!



We have had such a great time these last few days. My dad and step-mom drove in from CA earlier this week for their yearly visit to AZ and my kids have been in 7th heaven the entire time; they absolutely ADORE Grandma and Grandpa. I am so grateful for their visit and for their time here with us, but more importantly for the memories they are making with my kids.

I'll have more pictures to post about their visit, but for now... Happy Birthday Samantha Joy!

Scott looked to Brody and said ‘what is that?’. Side note: we are always trying to quiz him on what things look like and what he sees and if he can make out objects at certain distances away...given his eye issues.  Well, I don’t remember what the photo or image was on TV, but I remember his answer being not quite right. So a few seconds later something else appeared on TV - I think it was a cactus - and we quickly asked Brody ‘what is that?’... and he said cactus. And then a dog came on the screen and he just said dog (like the trained animal HE is ;-). And then...the next thing that came on the screen was a photo of some restaurant’s wine cellar and wine selection. So I asked,

Our prima ballerina!

Miss Sammy had her 2nd dance recital with Miss Annie's dance class. I was beaming ear to ear watching her dance her heart out. She was absolutely beautiful, graceful and completely poised. I'm so glad she enjoys dance class and can't wait to start up the next session.
