Very Velour

I just can't get enough of Sam and his little outfits. Gramma Gramma gave little Samman this cuddly little velour action...he's just growing, growing, growing.

Thank You Mother

Dear Mother Nature, thank you for all the wonderful gifts you give us. Millcreek Canyon was beautiful today.

Oh For PUNS Sake...

I was raised in a home where puns ruled the roost. You couldn't just say something casual like, "We were all so in tense!" without a follow-up from my Dad of, "Oh really? So you were all in tents somewhere?" Or saying the time is Ten to Nine with my dad complaining his knees hurt. Inevitably I would ask why and he'd say, "Tendonitis." Fortunately, or unfortunately pending on where you stand on the Pun scale, this punderful gene has passed on to me. I just can't stop thinking about all the different puns that can spawn with one little 3 letter name...Sam. Here we go:

If Sam loved smoothing the ice at a hockey rink he'd be called: SAMboni
When Sam has ill communication with another person: A MisunderSAMding
If Sam started to work with Mr. Miyagi: Samuel-son
Ordering from the menu in Lousiana, getting a hodge podge soup: SAMbolaya
He offers a variety of different items at his: SAMple sale
When he decides to purchase a fine leather luggage compan: SAMsonite
When he is a strong Asian warrior: The last SAMurai
Lastly, he is just a perfect little boy making him SAMtastic!


You can tell by this picture that Sam thinks these are just absolutely hilarious and hopes to be the third generation of Pun brilliance.

Brrr (stomp, stomp) it's cold in here...

Must be some Samster in the Atmosphere!

It's Bizness Time

Today was Bizness day, and you know when it's bizness day I wear my bizness pants and my bizness shirt cuz it's bizness time.

Cinema With Sam

Here are a few videos of the life of Sam...

He found his thumb today and LOVED it.


Just CHILLaxin'


Grunty McGrunt. You may think he's getting ready to cry but he's not, this is his sleepy-time talk for about 20 minutes. as well as his changing diaper, hanging out, etc talk. Let's just say, the boy is a talker and apples don't fall too far from trees :)

Thoughts on the Day By: Sam

Sam was sooo cute yesterday I decided to catch as much as possible on film. If you can endure my grossly over-the-top baby talk and get to the end of the video you will have 2 surprises that I think are well worth the 35 seconds it took to get there :)

We Voted

Come hell or highwater...(or a slushy snow down pour) Sam and I made our way to the polls. Excitedly we renewed the Zoo and Tracy Aviary and the rest of our voting is between me and my little man...he's a great secret keeper.

Poopy Tales

Sam and I have really been on a roll lately. I think somewhere he has a hidden sense of humor and is loving the experience of his new body. Despite his many blowouts this past week, today he blew out all over me. You may have heard of projectile vomitting, but this was projectile pooping! On my jeans, shirt, blanket...you'd think I would have done something or covered him up but I was in such a state of shock I just watched the whole thing happen all over me. Furthermore I realized I now was donning the Momdrobe AKA: Mom Wardrobe. Be it breastmilk, poop or pee wiper off and off you'll be. Yes, I just wiped it off and treated myself to a hot chocolate at Barnes and Noble. Love it :)

Stylin' and So Sleepy Sam
