Samuel getting ready for School

We had to fill out an "all about me" form for Samuel to hand in to his teacher. One of the questions was: I must not eat/drink... Samuel's reply: I must not drink wine or beer and I must not eat frogs.

Cool Cars

A question from Owen: "Mom, Why do all the cool cars only have two doors?"

Grandma, Briahna, and Mackenzie visit!

We had such a wonderful time with Grandma, Briahna and Mackenzie on their two week visit. We got to do some really fun things. We spent five days in London, went to the beach a few times, visited some other really great places, did some shopping, and just had fun hanging out. The boys loved being around Mackenzie and Briahna and acting silly.  We had a ton of pictures!
