"S A M spells Sam"

Sammy is Nate's little helper. The bathroom is getting remodeled right now and when there is a tool missing we ask Sammy and he knows exactly where it is. He also will get similar tools and try to do exactly what Nate is doing.
Sammy was too cute not to take his picture. He is always finding new positions to sleep in.

Sammy got dragged to every soccer game and played on the playground most of the time. He was so cold this time and he put Nate's gloves on his feet and McKenna's hat on his head. He is our 'Smiling Sam.'



Soccer or Football?

We signed Bridger up for soccer this year. The first couple of games he was a little confused as to what sport he was playing. From our perspective it looked like he was playing football. He would tackle and push the other team. He had some good man to man defense had it been football. After his second game we were able to help him understand the rules of soccer and he did tons better at just going for the ball. He is already asking me when he can play again.

He loved throwing the ball in, kicking the ball to start, and getting it for the ref.

When he was the defender we would help coach him.


It stopped snowing so he could play his game and then it snowed again that night. We all were freezing and were glad when it was over.


He was one of the smaller kids out there and not very fast.


He loved kicking the ball. We got one for him and he loves to kick it at home.

Climb Every Mountain?

McKenna is now 13 months old and is determined to climb everything she can. She started with the stairs, moved to the slide outside, then to the boys table, and finally climbed to the top of Bridger's bunkbed ladder. The boys love to help her down when she tries to climb.

Look what I can do Mom!

A monkey just like her mom.

She got very upset at me when I pulled her off and pushed in the chair.
