Saying Good-bye

I am sorry to say that Tim, Sam and I have to say good-bye to our beautiful flower that I recently posted about.  A tragic accident took the flower when it was too top heavy from so many beautiful pink blooms and split  in half.  I am just thankful that I took my pictures and that we were able to enjoy our short little time together!

Thank you flower for blessing our table with your beautiful presence, we will miss you and always remember your blooms!

The last few years my mom and I have bought these flowers for Christmas and mine was really slow to grow.  But now it is huge and beautiful.  It certainly doesn't have much competition with Sam!

Sorry it's sideways!

Growing boy!

Sam has been fun but a lot of work!  He is crawling on his hands and knees. He is crawling up stairs and is always doing dangerous stunts. He is chewing on his crib so if anyone has advice on how to save crib furniture from teeth marks!  Don't be confused about the binky because he does not know what one is even for!  Sam will be 9 months old.  I put him in 12 month PJ's and wanted to cry!  I need to take pictures of Tim and I put honestly our lives are not as exciting!!

Happy New Year!

This has been a good 2008!  Sam has been the best part!  Tim has been really busy with his engineering job and farming.  He has been the best father to Sam.  He is the one who bathes and plays with him at night!  I am working 2 nights a week as an RN and it has made a big difference working part-time.  Tim let me get a new sewing machine and embroidery machine and that has been the most fun!  

I'll just talk about Sam since he's the best part of the year.  Sam will be 8 months on the 10th.  He is crawling everywhere!  I have to admit that I have lost him a few times.  Sometimes he gets stuck in tight squeezes!  My New Year Eve surprise is that he is getting his first teeth!  How do you keep him comfy, it has mad him so grouchy.  He is eating good and sleeping good.  Christmas was a lot of fun watching him by the tree and eating wrapping paper.  

We hope every has had a good year!  Can't wait to see what this year brings!

Holidays!!

I must be no good at blogging because I am so behind. Sam has been doing some form of crawling for the last few weeks and I have been chasing him around because he finds the things that I hope he won't find!  We had a good Thanksgiving with all of Tim's family. All of his brothers and sisters were there except Zane. Tim and I have been trying to get ready for Christmas, I made him put lights up again this year, he just doesn't understand how much I love lights!  Sam has discovered the tree but I have shielded it from him before he could do too much damage!  Here are some pictures that we have taken recently!

Sam's camp clean-up

I came across this video that I thought I had deleted on accident! We had went camping up Cherry Creek and it was extreme camping.  We were up there for a few nights and Sam needed a good bath.  Tim got some nice warm water, this is the best part of our camping trip!
