Grandma and Grandpa got Sam this new ride-on four wheeler for Easter. Sam loves it, especially all the different noise it makes! He hasn’t figures out how to get it on it yet, so I have to help him out.
What a busy day. I was up at 6:30 to get a head start on the day. Jacob and Sam were up at about 7:30. They found their eggs that the Easter Bunny left them with clues on them on the where abouts of their 
Easter baskets. We woke up daddy and Jacob started the search. He found Sam's first - it was pretty easy to find - in dad and mom's bathroom under the sink. Sam found the plastic eggs filled with Cheerios (figured it was better then trying to stop him from putting chocolate in his mouth). He opened the eggs and of course Cheerios spilled out all over, but the dog was right there to eat them up. Jacob's was a little harder to find - hey I had to make it harder, he found out about the Easter Bunny, so I figured I would really make him work for it now! But he found his, outside on the back deck (his clue was "it's someplace where there is a light bulb"). Jacob and Sam went through their baskets and within fifteen minutes that was over. Sam was hungry for breakfast and Jacob wanted to play video games. We actually were all ready to leave for church on time and got there 10 minutes early(just as I had planned so we would get a seat). Sam and church do not go together lately and so Andy and I took turns walking around with him. Andy tried to put him in the nursery and it worked... for about 10 minutes until another kid stepped on him (how dare they!). So after church it was back home for a quick lunch for Sam then him and I went off to my grandparents. Spent some time there, Sam got a ride-on four wheeler from his great grandparents and a new toy and book for his grandparents. After dinner there we were on our way to meet up with Andy and Jacob at my brother and sister in laws. By 6:00 Jacob had spent probably five hours playing video games and Sam was a complete wreck. All in all is was a great day, although I don't think Sam had any idea it was his first Easter. You can see more pictures here.
Our new niece (cousin for the boys) arrived today! Lily Barbara came early (due date was March 15) after Kim’s doctor decided to induce her Friday afternoon. Lily was born in the morning at 10:44 am. Weighing 6 pounds, 4 ounces and 19 inches long. Welcome to the family Lily! You can see more pictures here.
that was going to go since it was right in the middle of his normal lunch time! More pictures (compliments of Dad Geisler) are available here.
Christmas was pretty much like any other year. Wait, no it wasn't, we have Sam now! Christmas Eve Sam and Pam went to Becky and Jeanette's for dinner and gift giving. Sam really liked the pretty bows the most. He tried to open a few things, but liked them once they were out of the paper. Pam and her family went to the midnight church service like every year. Christmas morning was quiet since Sam is not at the age yet to have any idea of who Santa Claus is. We went to pick up Jacob and then off the Dad and Mom Moran's for dinner and more (lots more - with two kids now) gift giving. Early in the evening we went back home to celebrate with just us four and open the gifts Santa left. Matt and Kim came over later and extended the Christmas day with us. You can see all the Christmas pics here.
Jacob was Darth Vader for Halloween this year. And Sam (who’s costume was bought before he was even born) was a green frog. Jacob went trick-or-treating for about two hours and got a ton of candy. Sam went for a ride in his stroller for about twenty minutes wondering what in the world we were doing (he was probably thinking, "we don’t normally go for walks at night"). We had great weather – Jacob didn’t even have to put a coat over his costume! More pics of the boys can be seen here.
Every fall I love to take pictures of the family. Normally we would go to a park with lots of colors on the trees. But this year we have a five month old and I don’t think he would last too long – it takes me an hour or so to get the “perfect” pictures I want. So this year I just took the boys out in the backyard and did pictures there. They turned out pretty good, I think - check them out here

It was a Sunday night and I was watching TV eating some chips and salsa. The baby must of not liked the salsa because it was sure kicking and moving around a lot! Two hours later I could not sleep; the first stages of labor had kicked in. After thirteen hours of labor and almost an additional three hours of pushing our new son was born. Samuel Robert was born Monday, May 23, 2005 at 3:28pm. He was a big boy (two pounds bigger then the doctor thought he would be!) weighing nine pounds seven ounces and twenty two inches long.
