Party at the Lake

By Janie on October 26th, 2011 at 3:10 pm without comments

My granddad’s 80th birthday party was at the Lake this year.  It was lots of food, family, and great weather.  Even though the day started out with a major mishap involving a blueberry pie, I think all the evidence has been cleaned up by now.

And check out this great picture from Lizzie’s blog.  Boy, Sam sure does love pumpkins.  I guess it’s good that she’s an October baby.

Beach Vacay 2011

We’re still working through all of our pictures, but here’s one for proof.  We had lots of fun.

UPDATE:

What a trip!  We stayed in the big house again, and it seemed like there weren’t as many people there as usual.  I guess that’s because there wasn’t.

Sam enjoyed the water this year, but was still a little anxious at first.  Every year, it takes less time for her to get used to the water.

 

Ellie didn’t mind the sand at all, but I think the heat bothered her.

I think she enjoyed Patrick’s truck almost as much as he did!  We also discovered during this trip, that she likes push toys and wheels!

Ramblings in October

By Janie on October 9th, 2009 at 3:15 pm without comments

I have a new niece! Penelope (orginially undecided, I have yet to hear the final verdict on middle name) Burns was born on Tuesday, 10/6. Happy Birthday Penny! I know your big brothers will love having you around!

A while ago, I went to our new Joann Fabrics. oh. my. gosh. Some serious fabric in that place. You take a number when you first walk in and maybe, by the time you’re ready to leave, someone will call it so you can get your fabric cut. I wanted to buy some fabric to make Samantha a tutu. I thought she would enjoy playing with it. I ended up making one for her and one for her friend, Sydney. Sam has yet to put it on. She hides in the corner when I ask her if she wants to wear it. But, she does the same thing with her ladybug Halloween costume. The ladybug costume has been out for about 2-3 weeks now, and she won’t have anything to do with it. I figured she would be reluctant with it, which is why I got it out so early. That girl of mine doesn’t like change. She is seriously routine-oriented. Anyway, Joann Fabrics was awesome.

We were going to try to head to a Pumpkin Patch this weekend. However, the weather doesn’t look promising.

It’s hard to believe that Samantha’s birthday is coming up! She’ll be two next week! What a silly girl she is. She makes me laugh.
