This is Sam.
Monday (the Big B-Day) started with Dad taking the three boys out to breakfast where they were told they could order ANYTHING they wanted...guess who had cheeseburgers, fries & root beer for breakfast??? Playing with the new B-Day toys...
Swing Ball!! Thanks Eric, Angie & boys...you guys give the BEST gifts! They (we all) have had sooo much fun playing with this!
A rare thing for these two...HAD to photograph it!!
Grandpa Tom came to town to see the last Baseball game of the season! We ALMOST won. The tournament starts next week...cross your fingers for the Mets!
Swimming lessons (for Matt & Zach) ended with CPR on water noodles. This was a RIOT! Hey, whatever works!! They took a tough swimming course & earned their Aquanaut pin for Webelos in the process. Way to go guys!! NO MORE SWIMMING LESSONS...I promise!! (I've been a little neurotic in this area.)
Meet "Summer Camp Sam" This kid spent his days attending a couple of neighborhood day camps. I...he LOVED it! He came home with crafts & a smile. Who could ask for more?
John made us all very proud (seriously, the kids thought their dad was superman) by winning the hot dog eating contest at our Ward party.
3 1/2 dogs in 2 min. Way to go!!!
Lizzie was oh so patient this week buckled in her car seat as we chauffeured the boys around town. Her new phrase is "I go, too?" She really is so sweet!!
I got spend a little time this week trying new recipes! One of my most favorite things to do!
Two weeks of Summer vacation down! We are as busy as ever, but that's a good thing...right?
2. My fridge. Always plenty of diet coke & pickles. 
3. Whatever. It's the one in the Master bath. And, it's clean. I'm pretty OCD about that.
4. Laundry room (AKA least favorite room) Pretty boring...I feel a project coming on...
5. What my kids are doing right now...eating lunch. (Is it just me, or does anyone else HATE making lunch??)
6. Favorite room. The next three rooms are all connected & very open. This is where we hang. I can multi task very well in these rooms.
9. Self portrait. Oops. (taken by Matt)
That's more like it!
10. Dream vacation? Hawaii...sad, but I've never been & would LOVE to go!
I tag anyone & everyone who actually had the patience to sit through this. Afterall, you did look in my potty.
Precious Preschoolers! 
They are EXCELLENT big brothers. They are soooo patient and loving with Sam & Lizzie. They were so excited when they became big brothers!
One of my proudest days. I can't even begin to imagine how amazing it will be when they become priesthood holders, missionaries, dads...woah!! I'm getting a little ahead of myself, here...
Anyone who knows these two (or has even met them) knows they are some of the happiest kids around! They are sooooo easy to please. It takes very little to make them happy. I joke/complain about keeping them entertained, but I really am lucky in this department with these two (shhhhh...don't tell anyone. I kind of like to whine and complain)
Zach is so tender hearted, funny, handsome & willing. This kid can put a smile on anyone's face.
Matt is so smart, thoughtful, quick witted and stinkin cute. He is one of the most patient people I know!
