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

Wee little princess...

Oh man, where does one begin to describe our little peanut. For starters I still get a kick out of the random folks that ask me almost weekly what the age difference is between the B's... then the genuine look of shock and awe when I tell the unsuspecting person that they are in fact twins. Let's see...what else about Brooke... -She bounces EVERY where she goes...she can never just walk places she has to twirl, bounce, you name it -She is the most amazing UNtrained dancer EVER...at least that's what her Grandma Herrick would say! -She has the most loving heart I have ever witnessed...loves and cares so unconditionally -Wants to be just like her big sister in the worst way -Has my chin...and it's soooo cute! -Her prayers will melt your heart...no joke! -Still prays everyday that her Grandma will be strong and healthy and we don't dare correct her -Always wants to be on the go and constantly asks to go to the mall -Has the sweetest bond with her bro and I...

Someone had a birthday...

Albeit almost 6 months ago, but better late than never. Samantha turned 9 years old in January and I cannot believe how big she is. Every once in a while I will catch a glimpse of her and just think to myself...WOW, you are all mine...I get to keep you forever!! I love that she is in our family and it would not be the same without her.
