Tonsils

Sammy had to have his tonsils and adenoids out last week. They were so large the poor kid was having a hard time breathing. He did great! It was also surprisingly fast. We arrived at 7:00 am and were home by 10:30 am! He was such a trooper the day of his surgery and continues to be as he heals! Here are a few pics..

One last peek at those tonsils!


Silly faces to pass the time




Surely playing with my ship will help distract me!


It's over, yay!!


Home sweet home and ready for some ice cream :)


Hmmm... a little sleepy. I think I'll rest up!

Updates!

Looks like I have some updating to do. Here is a little of what we've been doing.
Early this Spring we took a small hike out north (can't remember the name of the place!) Very fun and so nice to get out in the fresh air!









The entire time we were there, Loren kept saying he was sure there were snakes there. As the kind, loving, supportive, reassuring wife that I am, I kept saying he was crazy and there weren't any snakes. So guess what Loren saw?



In case you can't see it, there is a snake in the picture! When he spotted it, I had to chase after it to get a picture. This ends our outdoor adventure for the afternoon :) It was fun!

Sammy turns 5!

Aaarg! Happy birthday Matey! Sammy likes pirates. This is a huge understatement!

The birthday boy himself!



So fun!



You can't have an official pirate birthday without pirate cupcakes for school can you?

Katie turns 7!

Wow, how did I get a 7 year old so fast? Happy birthday sweet Katie!

My first attempt at a fondant cake...

Final Preschool Program

This will be our last end of the year program at Beautiful Savior :( At least for awhile anyway. Sammy did a great job and we had the privilege of our dear friend Jennifer to join us this year!

Bird Whisperer

Katie is truly an animal lover! A couple of weeks ago a bird fell on the car at the library and couldn't fly. So Katie came to it's rescue and got it safely to the ground!

Field Trip!

With Sammy's preschool to the downtown library. By the way if you're on the second floor you can see a picture of Loren from 1982 on the Bloomsday poster wall! Very cool :)

New baby!

Oh yes, and we're having another baby! Did I forget to mention that? Sorry this picture isn't great, but it's the only one I have. My photographer is a little new at this too :)

Pool Time!

It's swimming time!! One of our favorite times of the year! Lots of family and lots of good pool time, love it :)
