Sammy's Costume

This year Sammy will be a Strawberry Princess, a costume she picked out personally.

Uh Oh Papa...

What have you started Papa?  All three cousins Olivia, Samantha and Lillian sitting with Papa banging the piano keys.

Her name is Penny

Sammy and Olivia got a new puppy!  She is a cocker spaniel and her name is Penny!!

I understand her, don't you?

Most people can't understand baby babble, but Olivia's is so very easy to understand.  Here, I'll translate for you:

I'll have a Bacon Western Cheeseburger with extra onion rings.  A large order of fries, not the curly kind! A chocolate malt, please include a long handled spoon, too, ok?  Oh, wait, did I say extra onion rings?  Can I have an order of onion rings, too?  And one last thing, a little extra of the BBQ sauce for the cheeseburger.  Lots of napkins, too, ok?

See Lions? Or Sea Lions?

 Sammy sees the Sea Lion and hears them 'barking'.  She thinks it's funny.

Olivia sees the Sea Lions and wants to join them.  She keeps pulling on the bars to get through.

Bridges

Sammy is such a good helper.  Here she is 'helping' Daddy stain the little bridge that they have now.  It is for the girls to use to cross over the faux stream bed to get to their swing set.  The stream bed is filled with ouchy rocks that hurt little feet so they needed a bridge.

Cold season

ok, now put them all back.
