Biking, Slushies & the Park

We have been trying to find new things to do outside of the house, that are cheap and that everyone will have fun doing! So we the last couple of weekeneds we have been bike riding and this time I remember my camera (the last time I remembered my camera but forgot the memory card - can't save pictures without that!). We started off on the Paint Creek Trail and biked for about 2 miles. Jacob did a great job and Sam loved just hanging out of the back of daddy's bike. We even spoted some deer along the way. We made our way the Dairy Queen for some slushies. Jacob got kiwi-strawberry and Sam got cherry. Of course they kept trading and Daddy and I had some too. Then we biked over to Rochester Park where Sam chased some ducks and Jacob climbed and hung in the trees. And of course they played on the play structures and went swinging. Then we took the Paint Creek Trail back home. It was a beautiful day and we had got some great excerise and had a great time! More pictures.

eBay has Overtaken...

I know, I know it's been awhile since I have posted anything new. I have been getting together tons and tons of stuff to sell on eBay. And it has truly overtaken my evenings, from 8:30-10:30 every night I am taking pictures and loading them up and getting my postings ready. So, now almost everything is loaded and up for sale and I can get back to the more important pictures - Jacob and Sam! (Until next week when I have to ship out over 150 things!).

Daddy's in Charge (or is he?)...

Andy has been at home with the boys for the last couple days. Today it looks looks like the boy's took over, well at least the living room! They built a fort with pillows and several blankets. Pictures...

Strawberry Picnic

Grandma Lynda and Sam had a strawberry picnic with cool whip. Sam loved dipping the strawberries, but didn't like when the cool whip got on his hands - he couldn't figure out how to get it off! More pictures.

Sam's Smoothies

Sam LOVES smoothies! We got this Magic Bullet Blender and as soon as I bring it out Sam knows it "Smoothie Time." He helps me get out the frozen berries, yogurt, crushed ice and a splash of orange juice (or sometimes V8 splash). We cram it all into this little cup and put in on the base and blend away. Sam always has to sit up on the counter right next to me to make sure that I don't drink any of his smoothie first. Now that he knows how to drink from a straw I make it a little extra juicy so it's easier for him to get. It's a great healthy snack and he loves it! Of course more pictures!

Potty Training Already?

Sam has been watching daddy go to the bathroom lately. Seems he thinks that maybe he is ready to use the potty. I am not quite ready yet though, we're still going to wait awhile. But it was a cute kodak moment!

Happy Birthday Becky!

Today we celebrated Becky's 29th Birthday! (yep, only one more year till the big 3-0!) Hope you had a great birthday Becky! Check out the pictures!

Applesauce Shampoo

Sam found a new ingredient to wash his hair with - Applesauce! Here are some pictures and video of him covering himself with Mott's Blueberry Delight applesauce. Sometimes it's nice that he can feed himself and sometimes it not and you just have to laugh....

Take me out to the Ball Game

Andy and Jacob went to a Tigers Baseball game Saturday night. Grandpa Ed, Rob with Kelsey and Lucy and Matt joined them too. They had an awesome time and they WON!!! They played against the Cleveland Indians. Check out all the pics of the game here!

Lucy & Sam

Sam's counsin Lucy came over today to help Grandma out. They went to the mall play area, Sam goes almost everyday and he LOVES it there! But he had even more fun with Lucy there to play with and run after! Lucy was worn out after they were done! Thanks Lucy - hope you had fun! You can see all the pics here.
