A great weekend

On Friday we had a sleep over for all the YW and leaders at our house. It was alot of fun. We went swimming, played games, ate alot of junk food and I stayed up to 3 in the morning. That's the latest I've stayed up since I was married.

On Saturday we went to this awesome restaurant called BJ's. They had a great selection of food, the service was good, Alan got a very nice drinking glass for fathers day and one of the managers brought the kids ice cream for free. Oh, and they make their own pop. I had black cherry and Alan had Root beer. We will for sure be going back there.

Saturday night we watched Avatar. At first I didn't think I was going to like it because of the story line, but it turned at to be a great movie, happy ending and all.

On Sunday the YW organization handed out the yummy cookies we made Friday night in church for Father's day.

The great outdoors

Samantha has become quit the nature lover. She asks to go outside everyday. She will even go outside by herself. She usually comes inside with dirty hands and feet, but it doesn't seem to bother her.
She has discovered bugs and has no fear of them. The other day Luke came running in from outside yelling that Sammy was picking up bugs and sure enough she had some kind of beetle crawling on her hand. I am not a big fan of bugs, but I tried not to over react. On Tuesday Sammy was sitting in our family room looking at a children's friend when I heard her laughing her head off. I looked up to see what was going on and it looked like she was just playing with a black piece of paper. When I looked a little closer I saw that it was moving on her hand. It was an ear wig, gross!! I quickly got her to drop it and then I killed it. I don't know if earwigs are dangerous I just think they're really creepy. I don't think I squashed her curiosity with them from that one incident and I don't want to either. As long as their not dangerous I guess I shouldn't over react.

NEW BABY!!

Alan and I have a new Nephew, courtesy of Joe and Kristi. He was born yesterday at 2:09 in the afternoon. He weighed 8 lb 6 oz and was 20 1/2 " long. No name yet as far as I know. Baby and mom are doing great. Congrats Joe and Kristi!
