It's either dressed up or no clothes

Sammy is in a funny phase right now. He loves to dress up. He and Jack have a basket of boy dress up clothes and they come out in them one by one.
If he is not dressed up, he prefers NO clothes! Love that guy...




Big 3

Samuel Warren turned 3 last week! What a sweet boy he is.

Here are some things 3 loves right now:

Playing outside with "my brother"

Swimming at the YMCA

Riding in his power wheels with Jack as the driver

Walking around in just underwear and a shirt

Playing baseball (He is getting pretty good at hitting, but when he goes to run the bases, he just runs away from whoever is chasing him :))

Says, "I am free (3), and that is a lot"

"my brother"

"Girly Bear" instead of Grizzly Bear

Loves to do flips on Daddy

Riding his trike

Loves to imagine



He had a wonderful party with some new friends


Big 3. We are so thankful for you Sammy!






Our Colorado Life

Well, this blog update is well overdue. I envy all my sweet friends that blog so well. I spent an hour trying to change the way it looks and then another half an hour trying to get these pictures in the right order. I still didn't do it. Oh well, I will keep trying.


We are so enjoying Colorado Springs! We miss all our friends and family terribly, but what a great place to live. I have always lived in a small town and it is so nice to have shopping, a view of the mountains, a McDonalds with a playplace, YMCA to work out, all right near our house.


Tonight we walked one of the trails near our house. It is fun to explore.




Our old house in Arkansas...what a cutie! This picture makes me miss it. Jack is looking at it while I am typing and said, "Is that our old house? I miss it." The boys ask about Arkansas all the time and say things like, "I want to go to Arkansas and tell my friends.... or show my friends..."

Snow Day

We had the best day in the snow today...
The weather was nice and sunny and the ground was covered with 5 inches of powder.

Jack made his first snowman,


and he was very proud!

We started out sliding down the slide,



and ended up driving to a nearby hill to sled.
Jack wanted to run and jump on the sled and slide down the hill all by himself, like he saw his Daddy doing.




We had such a ball! Sam was squealing and had his hands and feet shaking with excitetment.





Best Buddies

Jack loves his little brother.

Jack dumped out all the snacks so that Sam would have enough to eat. Isn't he so thoughtful?


And Sam sure does love to eat. It is one of his favorite things about the day.





Jack and Sam love to be together. The more mobile Sam gets, the more fun they have...

We are back!




After not writing for about a year, I am back. I took a year off in between each child, so I guess I am ready to write again. We have a lot to catch up on. Our boys are getting bigger, cuter, more curious, more loving, smarter, more fun to play with (most days), and growing just the way God created them to be...

Our California Trip


Last summer we went to California to see my cousin Charles get married. We had a wonderful time with the family.





We got to meet Ethan, my cousin's son. He and Jack had a great time together.





I had an amazing time with my family. It is always too long in between when we see each other.






My aunt and uncle own a tanning salon. It was funny to see our name on signs in the town.
