Cheese!!!! Or rather, Peas!!!!!!!!!!!!

Clean and cute as can be!!

Oh mom, good try, better luck next meal.......love, Zach

My tonsil story.....

I am happy to report that Samantha has finally gotten her tonsils out. If anyone knows her, you know that she has had tons of sick days at school all due to strep throat! It was so frustrating to keep going back to the doctor over and over again and not be able to get them out. Which by the way, it is harder and harder these days to get them out. Even the ENT specialist was like " well you can get them out if you want." If I want, if I want...of course I want them out! Why would I be there? Samantha was excited for the day to come and we have been reading all about the surgery and procedure. I also told her my story of when I got my tonsils out. I thought she was prepared and she was, but apparently not for the aftermath. Walking up the hall after the surgery was a loud cry. I felt horrible and tried to calm her down the best I could. Finally the nurse gave her more meds thru an i.v. which sent her to sleepy land.

Now, since this is a blog about Samantha she would like me to show all pictures, including the tonsils themselves. So, if you have a weak stomach, then scroll down fast, otherwise here are some pics of the day.

Living it up on the couch watching cartoons and eating pudding and oatmeal!

Thank goodness it is over and we can move onto the next battle.

Jacob

Just thought I'd put up this picture of Jacob. This was taken the morning of school when they had their kindergarten program at school. He is so handsome.



This is Shyanne. Jacob had come one day and told me that she was his girl friend. I laughed and asked if he asked her to be his girl friend and he said no. He then went on to tell me that she had picked him to be her boyfriend. I asked why he thought she did that and then with a twinkle in his eyes he said that it was because he was the cutest. I have to agree that yes, he is the cutest. Good job Shyanne. I am sure one day he will like to see this, his first girlfriend. She is a sweetheart.

Bath Time

I just had to add this picture. Zach is so adorable, isn't he?

Happy Birthday Ben

Ben's birthday was yesterday, June 5. He turned 32. The kids wanted to suprise him so they made him a cake with homemade icing and made cards for him. It was really cute we sang happy birthday and at the end Zach started crying. It was so cute.Here are some pics of their cards.
