It's been a wonderful summer! Liza is 10 months & Sam is 3 1/2. We got to go to Bear Lake & Jackson for family vacations this year. It was so great to spend so much time with family that we haven't seen for a while.

4th of July Hyrum Parade



Limber Pine Trail, up Logan Canyon



Our little Liza-Lou-La is always making us smile. She was biting the spoon & wouldn't give it back to John Michael.



Sam has a great love for wheeled objects. Yes, even motorcycles. Don't worry, the engine wasn't on (yet).



He's totally mastered his Glider-Bike. It has no pedals. The point of the bike is to teach balance, and he's learned it!!



Little Eliza is so sweet! Especially in pink! I hope that dimple never goes away.




Sam's new toy. It's Uncle Corey's little bicycle. It's almost 30 years old & weighs about the same! After a day of tip-toeing around on it, he gained up the courage to try the pedals. He's been non-stop ever since! He is so amazing.

Sam turned 3 in February. I had a good friend come help me with the cake, so I can't take the credit for it, but it sure was fun to make!

Below: Eliza is getting so big! She's grabbing things & making lots of (shrill) sounds. We sure love having a little girl around the house.

Eliza & I had some 'girl time' this week & decided to experiment with her hair. So far we only need one curler. :) She's soo cute!!



















Random things I've found in the microwave. Sam has some sort of fetish with the microwave lately.






















The other day I peeked around the corner to find this: It's so amazing watching the kids together.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Eliza with Grammy:

























Sam & Papa both got a drill from Meagan!


















Sam with cousin Tyler on the Scooter.


















And my personal favorite, Sam with his glasses. Just a pair he found in the toybox at Grammys house, but he wore them for about an hour! He's holding a peanut out for me to shell for him.
