Washington Visit

In February, Sammy and I flew out for a little visit to Spokane.  Here we are waiting in line at the Denver Airport.  

Talking with Papa and Grandpa Jerry.

Playing with Papa

Going for rides with Noni.  Sammy isn't smiling, but he kept asking for more rides (even after we got home), so he must have had fun. 

So much fun makes for a tired boy. 

Riding Dino at the Funspot.  We went there with cousins K, S, A, and E, and of course Noni and Papa.

Bouncing with Noni and Adney.  Sammy didn't much care for this, and was perfectly happy wandering around looking at everything.

Cousin S

Silly Sammy

Writing on the huge chalkboard with the girls.

Cousin A.

Playing with Papa.

Papa with his grandchildren.

I love this picture, because you can almost see A falling over backward.  I laugh every time I see it!

Chasing the chickens.  Sammy learned that chickens say "Bock, Bock" while we were visiting.

"What's in here?  This door is just my size!"

Chasing more chickens with the cousins.

What a fun trip!  We had so much fun seeing everyone, and celebrating birthdays while we were there.  Now that we've moved farther away and Sammy will need his own seat on the plane soon, visiting will be a little harder.  We'll just have to make the most of it when we do!

March

This park was just a block away from our house in Nebraska.  Sammy loves this big slide, and would head up there without an adult, which gave me a few grey hairs!  Mike is with him for this ride. 

Cricket sleeping on Sammy's huge giraffe he got from Grandma and Grandpa for his birthday.

"Um, I don't want any visitors right now." 

So Violet snuck in later. Haha

Wearing Daddy's headlamp  

Riding the lawnmower that came with our house.  It stayed there, since it never ran anyway.

Watching for Da-da

Sliding with a new friend.

Wheeeee!

This is before we cut his hair really short.  Always fun to make silly hairstyles in the tub.

Driving with Da-da

It might have been dry in March....

Reeeeeaaaalllly dry!

He's wearing my shoes.  I love how one of them is backwards.  Lol!

Easter egg hunting with MOPS. I can't believe how competitive the other mothers were.  The eggs were filled with candy (which Sammy doesn't get a lot of anyway), so I was fine if he didn't get many.  

Our painted Easter eggs. 

Sammy made quite the haul for Easter.  I think both my parents sent him gifts, and Mike and I found him some things we thought he'd like.  

Hunting eggs at our house.

It looks like there is an egg in the background here, but that is just one of Cricket's tennis balls. :)

Sammy deciding to wear his potty.  He took out the insert and was looking through the hole at one point, but I wasn't able to get a picture of him doing that.

Cheese!

This is a drink holder, but it cracked me up.  Sammy looks ready to punch someone!
