Sami's 1st Soccer Game

If you ever want a good laugh you have to watch Pee Wee Soccer. I signed Sami up for a 6 week soccer program. She was so excited about playing soccer she was wide awake at 6am. Justin was also pretty excited - he's officially an assitant coach.

As you can see she took the game very seriously. This is her picking some grass during the middle of the game. Just a few minutes earlier, during the break Sami and the other girls on her team decided to do some of their ballet moves on the field - I couldn't stop laughing.

Sami was made goalie during the 2nd quarter. As you can see she was taking her job very seriously. You couldn't tell by this picture but she actually blocked a goal a few minutes later!
This is her running the wrong way but who cares, she was having fun!

Baby Belly

My belly at 7 1/2 months.

Baby "Fifi" (Sami's nickname for my belly and we've been using it because we still can't agree on a name) will be coming a bit early. Her original due date is Nov. 7 but because mommy is having such a difficult pregnancy "Fifi" will be coming in the middle of Oct. Daddy and I better pick a name soon or else "Fifi" will be on the birth certificate - haha.

Sami's 1st Ballet Recital

After an "intense" 5 week ballet class Sami had her 1st recital. It was adorable! When Sami came out on stage with her class she immediately spotted her Grandma in the back of the auditorium. She proceeded to wave her hands and call out "Grandma I over here. Hi Grandma". The entire room broke out laughing.

A Day at the Beach

Grandma Cathy and I took Sami to the beach. She had a blast! She kept trying to jump over the waves.

Love this picture!

Grandma Pat Comes for a Visit

We took the kids to Downtown Disney and had lunch at Goofy's Kitchen. The kids loved it, so did Grandma Pat.


















Can you tell she was having fun?


















Sami was so excited to see Belle and Snow White.

Bass Lake

This summer we went to Bass Lake for a week. Chris' mom, Aunt Connie & Family & Jesse with his family joined us. It was the best vacation.

I love this picture of Justin. Chris took it while they were doing an 8 1/2 mile hike in Yosemite.

Jesse brought his boat so we went on it everyday. We thought Sami would be scared of the boat at first but she loved it. She kept telling Jesse to "go faster" and when he did she'd say, "my hair is gettting all crazy".
