Sam

Sam wants to be just like his daddy and I love watching Matt talk to him and show him how to do things.  

After getting dressed for church, he found that his dinosaur had hatched from the egg!  To top it all off...it was a baby trex!

Sam says he wants to grow up and be just like daddy...

But he said he will always give all his hugs and kisses to me!!


This face may look sweet...but I am sure he is up to something!!

You can't catch me!  I think he was running from Ben!

Career Day--Paleontologist Sam with all his gear 

Career Day at preschool.  Sam was a paleontologist, Jack was a lineman and Hayden is in Kindergarten, so he didn't dress up!

Sam and his new friend Nicholas the farmer!

How do you like my beard?!

On Fall Break, we went to Shiloh.  Sam enjoyed learning about the civil war and stood like a soldier the rest of the day!

Sam and his new bike!

I think he likes the dino helmet the most!

On Fall Break we also went to Mammoth Cave and took the Grand Avenue Tour with over 500 steps.  We were really proud of Sam because he walked the whole way without complaining!    

Afterwards, we went to Dinosaur World...Sam's heaven on Earth!

He didn't want to get out of the Trex mouth! He finally did when we told him it was time to go dig for dinosaur bones!

Since it was a weekday, it wasn't very busy.  Sam was able to dig for dinosaur bones all by himself.  

He also enjoyed looking for fossils!

Watch Out Sam!!

"Oh my goodness...a Trex!" I just love this little guy!

Sitting on the foot of the trex...




We stayed for several hours and finally had to leave because they were closing!  I think Sam would have stayed there overnight if he could.  One of the workers was really impressed with all Sam's knowledge of dinosaurs and gave him special treatment!  He says he will be a paleontologist when he grows up and I can believe it.

Ben

I am really behind on posting, but I have lots of pictures to share!  We have been so busy, it has been hard to find time to sit down at the computer!  
Ben wakes up in a good mood every morning and loves to run in the kitchen to see what is going on.  This day, he found a book that caught his attention!

Like most little boys, Ben loves to spend time outside and does not like to wear shoes.  Today he didn't even take time to get out of his pajamas before heading outside!  

He loves Tippy Dog and spending time with Nandaddy!  

I guess he is ready to "go go" again...always on the move!

When Ben gets ready, he likes to go to the back door to look for Abby.  He enjoys talking to her!  

Ben will hopefully have strong, clean teeth!  He loves to brush his teeth and usually brushes them at least 4 times a day!  

He is my laid back little boy who is okay just sitting back and watching everyone!  If he has food and juice, he is a happy boy!

We are working on saying "cheese" and usually this is the silly face we get from him!  


One handsome boy!

Always on the go....wondering what he can get into next!

Apparently he found Trex before Sam did this morning!  

Another favorite place...the bathtub!

Ben is a happy boy!  He brings so much joy to our lives!
