Just another Saturday night on the town....

I cannot believe how big Sam has gotten right before my eyes. Here he is after we returned from going out to dinner Saturday night. I just thought he looked so adorable with his big boy jeans and polo shirt on....I couldn't resist taking a few pictures. Now I understand why people continue to dress their children in one-piece rompers....He looks like such a big boy in his jeans.

September Birthdays

Happy Birthday Pop, Uncle Jason, and Chuchee Kylene. We got to spend some time with the family this weekend with everyone staying over Friday. Then we had brunch at Mom Mom and Pop's on Sunday. It was very tasty and Sam just loved seeing his doting cousins once again.

Go EAGLES!!!

Syracuse

Searching for cool things on the ground
The benches are way cooler than the playground equipment in the background

Such concentration

Hanging with Steven and Dad

Bang Bang Mex Mex
Chilling, or rather running around like a mad man, on the porch
Time with the Newleyweds!

Thank you Steven and Margeaux for having us over Labor Day weekend. We had a great time visiting with the family and had a blast at Jack's 3rd birthday party, Tim and Teisha threw a great party. Above the Newleyweds, Kristy and Steve and Margeaux and Steven, try to relax as Sam runs in circles. We had a great lunch at "Bang Bang Mex Mex"....and yes that is the name of the restaurant. Thanks again and we can't wait to see you again soon!

Laundry....

Sam's idea of helping with the laundry is to take all of the clean clothes out of the basket, throw them on the floor, and roll around in them in fits of laughter. He is only looking up for the photo opp., what a ham! It is so nice that he can amuse himself at times.

Our Saturday.....

Mandee's.....Having a baby...We spent Saturday morning at a baby shower for my girlfriend from college, Mandee. It was a beautiful shower and Sammy had a great time checking out baby W's gifts, saying hi to Riley (5 months), and flirting with all of the women! According to the ladies there, he was very "well behaved".....as "some kiddos would have pulled off the table cloth". Sammy does like to keep busy and is often able to be redirected....despite his very, very strong will.

It was very nice to spend some time with Aunt Joannie, both on Friday and Saturday. Sam had a good time and was very entertained by her playful antics! The last picture is Aunt Joannie and Cousin Jake, he is getting so big!!

Mason, Sammy, and Trent

What a fabulous Wednesday! We were able to get together with my two really good friends from highschool and their beautiful boys....Mason, 6 months, and Trent, 13 months. Sam, the oldest of the crew, 15 months, was very pleased to have another house to check out and some boys his age to hang with. Notice the pictures of the three boys are when the oldest are in their highchairs, as there really was not another option to snap a picture of all three of them without them being harnessed in!! Thanks Liz and Courtney for meeting us and thanks Mason and Trent for playing! Thanks Courtney for lunch and for your hospitality. We can't wait to see you all again soon!

Mom Mom and Pop's......

Sam has been able to spend some quality time with his cousins on both sides of the family lately. Sam really has a great time with Jacob and Taylor. And they just can't get enough of Sammy. They want to hold him and pick him up, like they did several months ago.....but Sam really won't put up with that now. He is in constant motion, a busy busy explorer! The three children had a great time playing in the sandbox, swimming in the pool, and spending the night at the grandparents. Thanks Mom Mom and Pop. Sam can't wait to see Jacob and Taylor again.
