Pine pine swide

Every year I get the alpine slide bug. I feel a little Maverick Top Gun style because I feel a need, a need for speed. So Sam and I took Penny and Jake on a date and headed to PC. Jake went first with Sam then I headed up with him. Once up top, we were in the dedicated slow slide line with a bunch of crying kids. Sam looked at me and asked if we could go on a different slide so we could go fast. That's my boy!

Penny's Photos

Penny at four days old! This little Pea stayed awake for the entire hour and forty five minute shoot. When you see the pic where she is wrapped with feathers notice her legs...she would not fold them, she just stretched them like a thanksgiving turkey!

It's Loading

Sam and I were playing cards the other day up in his room. He carefully laid out four cards in a row then looked at me and said,"It's loading." Holding back a laugh, I just let him know to let me know when it was all loaded so we could play the game!

Meeting the Baby

Sam let me know how he'd like to approach his new baby sister once she is born. He let me know he didn't want to give her a kiss, because I asked, he said he'd like to shake her hand and say, "Nice to meet you." Alright, fair enough. That seems very polite and appropriate for a first introduction.

He also has lifted up my shirt a couple of times to get to my tummy and puts his hands on my tummy saying, "open it...open it!" Believe you me little man, if I could get her any sooner at this point...I would.

A Little Prayer

I've been praying a lot more and I'm finding I'm so grateful for so many things--

"Thank you for toys, thank you for Sammy's sword, thank you for hot tub, thank you for Chen (the boy on my shampoo bottle from China), thank you mommy putting medicines in Sammy's mouth so my lip not hurt, thank you for Grandma's gym to go play"

Bottom line is I'm so glad I live in this beautiful world Heavenly Father created for me :)
