1st Day of Preschool

She's off!
Sam practically ran out the door and never looked back.I think the reality will set in next week and we'll all have a good cry. Until then, she is in good hands at Treasure Cove. Ms. SandyMs Patty

A Very Windy Galveston

Mother Nature, and all her wind, really destroyed what could have been a perfect beach day at Galveston.Don't be fooled by these pictures...and all these happy faces in the sunshine...that is only half the reality.The Wind. Was. Unbearable.
But, we did have fun. Sammie managed to yelp for 2 hours straight...she may have even lost her voice.

Here we go Astros, here we go!

Despite the Astros pitiful season, when given great seats...we go! We had dugout seats for the Brewers game. Sammie invited Avery along for a last minute trip to the park.
How is it that everything is more fun when you add additional kiddos...and sugar?
Alayna did great for her first game. We made a disaster of our seats and ourselves.
No foul balls for us.
I just love this picture. And no, the outfits were not planned.
I let the girls play with the camera during the game. I had 150 pictures of silly faces, the field and the people in front of us.

9 Months Old

16 lbs 11 oz - 4th %
28 1/2" - 62nd %
17" head -There isn't much this little peanut can't do...even if she is only in the 4th percentile of weight! In this week alone she is crawling, playing peek-a-boo, clapping her hands, growing her 3rd tooth and finally sleeping through the night again...even if she has to cry it out.

Thank you, Brooke!

With a little coaching from Brooke, her 5 year old cousin, Sammie learned how to ride a bike without training wheels! Nothing like a 5 year old cousin to teach you all the things you need to know.
Now, we need to get home and pull out her big girl bike.
Hooray, Sammie!

Triathlon & Golf

Robbie continues his reign with the golf trophy for another 2 years.
Not only was there a triathlon for the adults...the kids also enjoyed one of their own. Coached by Dawna, Summer, Jessica and Erica.Swimming, biking and running...everyone's a winner!
