JUNE 2008



So I don't know what happened since May, but I can't believe it is already August! What was I doing the last two months? I had all these good intentions to keep the blog updated, but so far I haven't done very well. I will try to do better in the future. So here is my feeble attempt to get caught up.

In June Sam started eating solid food, he learned to sit up and tried his hardest to crawl, but couldn't quite figure it out. Sam also figured out that he can make some pretty interesting sounds to get attention and loves to practice squealing as loud as he possibly can.

Addison started learning sign language; I'm amazed how quickly he learned to sign milk and more. Addie watched the movie Cars for the first time and decided it is the greatest movie ever! He also figured out that Sam is a lot of fun to play with, and he continues to make us all smile constantly with his goof ball antics.

Also in June we had fun exploring the San Francisco Zoo, Addie really liked the new bear exhibit and Sam liked watching his brother run all over the place.

The boys loved celebrating Father's Day. Sam was mesmerized by the wrapping paper while Addie just wanted to sit in his dad's lap. He is such a little sweetie-pie.

The rest of the month we just hung out at home and had fun going to local parks and taking walks.

Sam's Baby Blessing



We recently took a trip out to Chicago to Bless Sam. Jon's brother Jay and his wife Merna and there three son's; Jasper, Grady and Issac live just outside of Chicago and where gracious enough to let us impose on them for a week. Jon's dad and his wife Jane flew out from Utah and my Mother and Father Linda and Bill drove up from Missouri. It was so nice to have the opportunity to spend time with our family. Sam's blessing was the perfect excuse to get everyone together. Sam's blessing was beautiful, it still makes me teary when I think of all the wonderful blessings in store for him. I am always amazed at how much my two little guys bless and enrich my life. It is incredible how a baby can bring so much joy into the world. I couldn't help but notice how Sam brought joy to everyone around him with his big bright eyes and infectious smile. Sam is such a happy little guy, he definitely takes after his big brother. I can't even begin to imagine what kind of mischief these two will be into in the near future. I guess I have a lot to look forward too. In the meantime I love that these two little guys make me smile so much that my cheeks constantly hurt. Addie and Sam are the best. What more can I say than that?
