Sammy J...

Oh Sammy J...where do I even begin with this girl?! One minute I'm lovin' on her and we're having a great mother/daughter bonding moment, the next moment I'm giving her a time-out with her nose in the corner! I can't wait for the teenage years...said the mom in the most sarcastic tone!!


This was such a funny photo I took of her a few months ago...just her being so over dramatic...not at all like her mama... ;-)

So, about our Sammy girl...
-She's one of the toughest 8.5 year olds I know
-A few months ago she asked us how old she has to be to be able to base jump (cRaaaaaaaZy, I know)
-Can be the most tender big sister only when I'm not around...or so I've been told
-Is so determined to be the absolute best at everything she does
-Wants more than anything to be with her Dad at all times...she just adores him so much
-Is tough as nails on the outside, but sweet and tender when it counts
-Is obsessed, and even that's stating it mildly, with all things dogs...hence the reason we now have 2 dogs
-She is so very smart and really loves school
-Doesn't quite realize how much her little sister worships her
-Is such a great example to her bro and sis...in ALL the right ways
-And is so unbelievably responsible as in chores, duties and now even with babysitting

We actually had a great time playing together and it was fun to do something different; boy were we a bunch of mis-fit toys in wonderland. We had one injury after the other which only reminds us all that we should leave the organized team sports to the next generation - we don't heal as quickly as we used to. Never the less, we did pretty good and were able to stick it out and make it through to the 2nd round of tournament games but then lost miserably and went down in a ball of flames to the tune of 24-4... YIKES! Unfortunately Scott had to work the night we took this photo at our last game... he was there in spirit! Our team captain - or the guy who *made* us do this - is Steve and he is the one kneeling with the goofy "thumbs-up smile" (and yeah, that's me next to the goof ball!) and he is ou...

Random photos...

Whenever I have a photo shoot planned at my house in my little “studio” I always beg and plead with the kiddos to sit for just a second so that I can get the lights and set up just right before the actual shoot. Well, in doing that, I always end up with the most random of photos... ENJOY! [taken December 2011]
