November 2008

Hello! I am adding more pictures of our family. Sam is growing so quickly and it's fun to look over the pictures from the last year and see the change in him, and the other kids as well. They are growing into such wonderful people.

Sam and I made chili for the chili cook off at the kid's church. There were 28 different kinds of chillies. My favorite was the missionary's. They are young men and don't know much about the art of chili. Someone told them there were beans in chili so they made a dessert with whipped cream, jello and JELLY beans! Very funny!

Ben coached Aidan's soccer team again this year. The boys were wonderful. We had one other returning player from last year. The team we were supposed to play at our last game didn't show, but we had a ref, so the boys played against their dads. It was a great way to end the season.

Sam really wanted to play. It was hard to keep him off of the field.

Go Fireballs!

We have lunch with Ben sometimes. It's the only time during the week Sam gets to spend time with him. He loves to play with the steering wheel.

Oh, the kisses are so sweet!

His smile lights up a room!

We had the kids over on Sam's actual birthday. They helped him open his gifts.

His Uncle Jon and Aunt Shirley gave him a set of bath toys. This is Sam with the net over his face.

Ahhhhh.....Refreshing

Boy do we love this girl. She is so sweet. She is always huggy and cuddly. Sam's not a cuddler, so I have to get my fix with Anika and Aidan.

I caught one!!!

Could we be any more blessed? These kids are amazing. I am so glad Sam has such great brothers and sister.

He loves his dad.

Skipbo is a favorite game of ours.
