Mostly Gretta, Sam and Diggs, of Course!

With so many photos and not so much time, here is a recap of a few months ago...with hopes to keep adding as the month continues :)

Our little Gretta giving dominos a shot...not without baby of course!

Sam trying to figure out the sippy cup. He's almost got it, just seems to choke more often than drink.

Diggs and Gretta up North in Florence. We had a great time hiking and watching for bear...

Diggs just digs being in the woods.

My favorite pic of Gretta dangling feet over the bridge.

She loves it up there too!


This water jug occupied Sam for at least an hour...take the top off...put it back on... etc.


Mom...bedtime already?

Sammy just loves cords, knobs, electronic things...anything non-toy. I found him trying to figure out the door knob.


...and later getting into doughnuts :) That's my guy!


Gretta and Daddy playing in the leaves.


Sam too!


Digory- not so much. Just resting.


Or plotting how he can stay up here for the rest of his life :)

"I love sand!" -Gretta


Back at Great Grandma and Grandpa's going for a walk.


The soon to be big brother :)


Always "picking on" Sam. Not so sure he doesn't mind the attention!


Gretta, want to try on Mommies glasses that you broke?


"Wow mom, even better this way!" -Gretta


"Yeah- I'd say so too" -Sam


Before Sam's first professional haircut.

And after- he did so well!

Here Grets and Sam are getting our garden ready. We planted seeds on Memorial Day and the countdown for fresh veggies has begun!


At the zoo with Grandma and Grandpa Gremore.



One...Two...Three...weeeee!!!


Diggs will spend 99% of his time here until the next snowfall.

Easter Part 1

On the Saturday before Easter, we went to GG and Gampy's to celebrate. They put together a special egg hunt for Gretta and Sam, created a crazy race for Uncle Phil, Tim and I (with a reward at the end...but the key was to climb in Jake's dog kennel...Phil won hands down!!), and grilled some really great brats and burgers.


Gampy helping Sam pick out a toy.


Each egg they found meant they could pick a treat from this box. Not sure if they ended up finding all of the eggs, but we came home with the whole box of goodies :)


Gretta and GG picking some connectable bunnies...


Uncle Phil connecting with his "bunny" side... he he... I told him I wouldn't put this on
facebook. This isnt facebook :)


Sam pulls this one off too well. He actually kept these on for a while!


Gretta was hesitant at first, but then wore them almost the whole time!


Sammy and Daddy


Stay tuned...more to come from Easter Sunday and Sammy's first birthday...

Falling in Fargo

We recently spent an extended weekend in Fargo, ND visiting Tim's cousin Amy and her husband David and daughter Allison. Unfortunately, we hardly have any pictures of the trip, but here is one of Sam standing by himself!

"whoa, this balance thing is tricky...."


"crawling might be my thing for a while...." :)


Here is David trying out for the yellow belt in Taekwondo. "The seed is beginning to see the sunlight." He did really well!


Hy-ah!


The week before we left, we had a little visitor, Carly. Here, she is enjoying some bread and pears.


Sam and Carly wanted to go shopping...


While Gretta modeled what they bought :)


Gretta, did you happen to see my stickers?


Learning about shadows.


Gretta feeding Sam. She ate up every moment. Though they are almost the same size, this somehow worked.



One weekend day, Tim and I looked at the clock, and then outside. What should we do all day since we can't go outside and play? So Gretta and Sam got new 'dos.




Playing together so nice...for a while at least.


Clothes from Carly and her Mom for Gretta until Carly is big enough to wear them...the beauty of hand-me-downs! Thank you!

"Moooooommmmm, this doesn't match!"-Gretta


"I think it looks nice" -Sam

"Let me see here..." -G
"This one's my favorite!"-G
