Sammy's dream.

One day when I stopped at Sinclare in Smithfield Sammy said, "Mommy, it has been a dream of mine my entire life to pet that dinosaur." How could I say no to that!? So here she is!

various pictures from this last year.

Hi all! I am still trying to get the hang of this blogging thing and wanted to post a few random things that have gone on in the last year or so. So that is what the next several posts are. I wlll try and keep more up-to-date from now on.... Thanks for looking :)

Cub Scout Day Camp

In June I was able to go with Nate to his cubscout day camp. They did so much and had so much fun!

Nate climbing the rock wall, although he would not go all the way to the top because he is afraid of heights! LOL

Princess Wishes

For her birthday last Feb, Samantha got tickets to go see Disney on Ice: Princess Wishes. She chose to take Grace with her.

Grandma Jenis bought them both princess costumes to wear and they both wanted to be Sleeping Beauty.

Sammy's self-portraits.

Sammy absolutely loves to play with the camera on my phone and take pictures of herself... this is just a small sample of some of the things I find!

A visit from Austin and Grace..

Austin and Samantha go to school together on the bus and one day he and Grace came over before it was time to go. They had so much fun playing and kept wanting me to take various pics of them...

Austin is just like his dad was... his dad would always do something to ruin a picture. Nice tongue though!

Graduation

In May I finally graduated with a bachelors in Social Work. However, this fall I have returned so that I can get a Masters degree as well. Eventually I want to get my clinical license and work in either substance abuse or mental health fields..
