BIRTHDAY GIRL!

Samantha turned 9 on March 16. We had a barbeque that turned out to be quite a little gathering. Sam wanted teriyaki chicken, green beans and baked potatoes (she is definitely an Idaho girl). She also requested a choclate cake with chocolate frosting and sprinkles, homemade. Grandma and Grandpa Weaver were just going to come over to open presents and have cake. But that didn't happen. Business at Grandpa's seed company picked up because of the nice weather and he couldn't get away. So in his place Aunt Wendy, Kevan's sister and her kids, Cortney and Tyler came with Grandma. We also had Grandma Carol and Doug end up being there because they were headed to Canada. Rita and Rebecca also joined us. We had a great time and Sam made out like a bandit. She got cash, a pink hoodie, fleece throw pillow and blanket and a ipod shuffle. She is spoiled but not rotten. I can't believe how much Sam has changed this year it makes me sad because she won't be little much longer.

NAPTIME ANYONE?

This nap took place under Isaac's bed. We had actually put him down for a nap but he climbed out to play under his bed and this is how we found him.I thought I would share with you a few pictures I got of Isaac. He turned 3 in December and he thinks he is a bigger boy than he really is. He believes he doesn't need naps , you know he might miss out on the fun. Well when you see the places he has fallen asleep lately you who know what complete exhaustion is will relate. The term drop dead tired fits perfectly, because he just dropped in his tracks and took a nap right in the middle of all the fun.

This nap occurred while playing inside one of those pop open laundry hampers.

SUNSHINE!

(NOTE: This posting was originally supposed to post on March 12, but my computer was having problems and it wouldn't work so here it is.)

SPRING IS HERE! we think. Monday March 12, 2007 was a beautiful day. It was the kind of day I have been dreaming of for since October. The sun was shining, birds were singing, a slight breeze was blowing and there was no snow on the ground. There was only one thing to do

GO OUTSIDE and PLAY!!!!! We pulled out our flip flops, and went out to swing (no coats). The temperature hit a balmy 58 to 59 degrees. Olivia didn't quite know what to think at first, havingbeen born in October she had never experienced a trip outside without being completely covered. It didn't take long though and she was completely caught up in the joy of springtime in Idaho. Fun was had by all and now that we have had a taste of that beautiful time of year called spring it will be a torturing blow if winter shows its ugly face again.
