Samantha has the most adorable laugh and noises, I've been trying to get them on film and I finally was able too. Unlike her brother Sammy doesn't really like the camera, all the pictures you see of her smiling are usually after like the 4th try.

Enjoying our backyard
On Friday we enjoyed a beautiful afternoon in our backyard. We are on a watering restriction right down because we haven't been getting any raining, but as long as the kids are running through the sprinkler we can water when ever we want, we all got in on the fun even Samantha.
New Pics
The kids are doing great. Luke turns 3 on Saturday. Samantha is on the verge of rolling over and I think she is teething, Which makes me sad because Luke didn't get his first tooth till he was about 10 months.

A million excuses = an expired license
This is a really long post, so if you don't want to read the whole thing you do need to read the end of it.
When we moved here a year ago Alan went out right away and got the car registered, got new license plates and got a new drivers license. He told me I should get a Texas license right away too, but I told him I needed to get my eyes checked first because I didn't think I would pass the eye exam excuse #1, so I didn't get a new license. I couple of weeks later we found out I was pregnant and I become really sick and was not going any where excuse #2, plus it was really hot which made me even sicker excuse #3. After a while I totally forgot about my license excuse #4. I don't drive that often excuse #5 because we only have one car and we live about 25 min from Alan's work and even when I had the car and Alan was walking I still didn't drive that often. So time went on and I still had my Idaho License, I didn't ever think about and I seriously thought I had one more year to get a new one excuse #6. Well holidays came and went, then I had Samantha, so I wasn't in any condition to go any where excuses #7. It took me a while to get use to being a mom of 2 and I still am getting use to it excuse #8.
I don't remember how but the subject of my licenses came up during the week of Sammy's blessing and when I took a look at my licenses I saw that it has expired! You would think with how often I have to take my license out to go to Alan's work that I would of notice that it was going to expire soon, but I didn't. I have been driving with an out of state license for about 9 months which is bad enough because I could of gotten a ticket if I got pulled over, but I have been driving with an out of state and an expired license since February. So I finally got that eye exam I needed and got contacts and went to the DMV, but the computers were down for the entire state, they said come back another day before I left I asked them what I would need to do to get a new license since it was an out of state license and it had expired, they said all you will need to do is the eye exam and pay the money great, that's exactly what I wanted to hear, but the next time I came they told me I would need to do all three exams I was so upset that I almost cried, it was scary enough taking the driving exam the first time around, but now after driving for almost 10 years I was going to have to do it again no way.
The lady asked me if I wanted to take care of that today, I had to came to the DMV by my self this time and so I had both kids with me, I looked at the line I would have to wait in, the place was so full there wasn't any more places to sit, I looked at my kids and then at the lady and thought to my self what do they of daycare in the back are you going to watch my kids for me while I do all of that, I told her politely that no I could not do that today.
There is so much more to this store, but I'll fast forward to the end. After going back to the DMV 2 more times I decided to just bite the bullet and take the tests. I passed the eye exam with out my contacts that I thought I so badly needed and that's why I didn't get a Texas license in the first place, I took the written while Luke sat on my lap and Samantha sat in her car seat next to me and passed. I haven't taken the drivers test yet so this story will have

Things are looking up
When we first moved into our house and were getting familiar with the stores around us the only grocery store that we knew of was less then desirable to go to. It was an HEB which are really the only grocery stores here in San Antonio, but it was really old and rundown, it was kind of dirty, the ails were tight, it was always crowded and I didn't really feel safe going to it. Alan would some times buy groceries after work at our old grocery store just so we wouldn't have to go to the one down here. Well one night as I was driving to girls night out I found another store that wasn't to far away. We went there this weekend to do our shopping and we are never going back to the other one ever again. It's an HEB plus so it is bigger, the store is a new store, it was clean, it was kind of busy but because it was so much bigger it didn't feel crowded. You might be thinking to yourself come on its just a grocery store why does it matter, but to me it does I don't know I guess I just think this is where I buy the food we eat I want the place to be clean, to feel nice and this new store does that for me yay. This has made me feel a little more comfortable about where we live.

Sammy
The doctor was going to put Samantha on some medicine for her Reflux, but we didn't end up picking up, but its okay because its been over 2 weeks and she has only thrown up twice, yay! I think she is growing out of the Reflux. She is such a sweet baby. She is now making the cutest little noises, I'll have to try to get it on film.
