Memorial Day

We had a nice relaxing Memorial day, we hope you all did too. We played in our backyard with the sprinkler. We had a BBQ with our next door neighbors and played games.
Memorial day also marked the one year anniversary of Alan's first weight lost challenge at work and since then he has been in one other one. I love Alan no matter what, but I am very proud of the weight he has lost so far. The grand total 32.5 pounds in one year. Awesome job honey.

Talented Luke

Luke can do somersaults now, I'm not sure how or where he learned how to do it but I think its really neat. Luke has also learned how to make Samantha laugh. Luke is a really great big brother he can be too aggressive some times because he is a boy, but he loves Sammy and Samantha loves Luke. She is so enthralled by him and she gets so frustrated that she can get up and run around with him.

Painting

Last week we decided to start decorating our family room. We bought a new entertainment center and we bought paint. On Wednesday we painted one wall, it was alot of fun I really like painting and Luke even helped us too.
Unfortunately after looking at the paint for a day and a half we decided it wasn't the color we wanted to paint are entire family room, so we are going back to the paint store.

The amazing Samantha

Samantha has discovered many things in the past two weeks. Monday the 11th I left the room with Samantha laying on here back and when I came back in she had rolled onto her tummy. Yay my Sammy has become a roller. She has also discovered her thumb which I'm not so sure I'm happy about that and she has discovered her feet and loves pulling on them. The video is Sammy's fourth time rolling over.

No first 5?

Mom for now I'm just going to leave it open to those that have blogs, since it needs to be the first 5 that make a comment on the post. I'll leave it open till, lets say the end of next week, then if no one responds I wont do it.
But apparently no one wants to take the challenge on. If you are busy right now and don't have time to make something it does say just this year so that could mean now or 3 months from now or Christmas. If you are worried about money I don't think the the items need to be expense you could just make some cookies. Any way I hope that people will make a comment and take the challenge.

First 5...

I saw this on our friend Brandi's blog. At First I wasn't going to make a comment, but then I thought why not it sounds fun and I like getting and giving presents and it will be fun to have a projected to do and like it says I don't guarantee that you will like what I make for you.

The first five people to comment on this post will get something made by me.
My choice. For you.
Here's the deal: I make no guarantees that you will like what I make. What I make will be just for you. It'll be done this year. You have no clue what it's going to be.
It may be a story. I may sew, stitch, bake, or paint something. Who knows?
Anyone can comment (as long as I know you), it doesn't matter how far away you are. The catch?
Oh, the catch is that you must re-post this on your own blog and offer the same deal to 5 of your own lucky blog readers. So, the first 5 people to leave a comment telling me they are in, win a homemade gift by me!
