Father's Day at the Firehouse

Chris had to work this Father's Day so I brought the kids to him. They love spending the day at the firehouse.

Too cute.



















Daddy and his other "crew"















The whole family including Baby Sherwood in mommy's belly.












A little girl and her hero - her Daddy.

"Mommy, Do I look beautiful?"

The other morning Sami comes out of her room after getting dressed and asks, "Mommy, Do I look beautiful?". I may be a bit bias but I told her she was "the most beautiful girl in the whole wide world!". It's moments like this that I love having a little girl.

Sami's 1st Day at School

Sami was so excited to start preschool. After we moved I signed her up at our local community center. It's only 2 days a week for 2 1/2 hours. She adores it!!!!! This is her waiting for breakfast that morning.


Sami getting ready to leave. She's getting so BIG! Daddy went out and bought her her first lunch bag, Hannah Montana - Sami's Favorite Singer.

Hippty Hop, the Easter Bunny visited Sami

The day before Easter Sami colored Easter eggs.
She had so much fun!

I think it is safe to say she's my daughter.

Just like her Mommy she has OCD.

She did not like the thought of eggs being more than one color. Each egg could only be one color. She thought it was

too messy.

That was one busy Easter bunny. Sami had a total of 3 Easter egg hunts on Sunday. The first was at home. Then she was invited to Caleb, Sue & Nate's house for her second Easter egg hunt.

Last but not least, Grandma's house.

Talk about hitting the jackpot. Of course the 3 year old finds all the eggs with money in it ($15. total) and she was just tossing them to the side to find the ones with candy.

Exciting News!!!!

Sami got to make the big announcement.....she's going to be a BIG sister.

Baby Sherwood is due at the end of October.

"Sleeping Booty, It's me Yami"

For Samantha's birthday I took Justin and her to Disney. They had the best time.









Justin was so amazing. He carried Sami on his shoulders for most of the day.

For dinner I tookthe kids to Goofy's Kitchen. While you're eating dinner the characters walk up to your table and talk to you. Well, when Sami saw Sleeping Beauty at another table she proceeded to stand on her chair and waved down Sleeping Beauty by saying (well, actually it was more like screaming), "Sleeping Booty, It's me Yami. It's my birthday"!






Too cute!









Justin is such a good sport.










Can you tell she had a fun birthday?

Happy 3rd Birthday, Samantha Grace!!

Can you believe she's 3 already?? I can't. It's amazing how fast time flies. To think 3 years ago Chris and I went thru the hardest/greatest experience of our lives. At that time, we were barely able to think 1 day ahead, let alone years later. She is truly our miracle baby.

For her birthday she got a little play cottage. She adores this present (and so does Mommy because she'll play in it for hours).

In the middle of her birthday dinner Sami decided to climb up on her Pop Pop's lap and give him a kiss. This picture is priceless. Can you tell she has him wrapped around her finger.

Daddy and his little princess.
