Sam's latest antics!

Not quite sure why the following activities are so fun? Unloading the fridge. He did a good job putting things back as well. Maybe not where they belong but he is only two right? :)



and the ever popular game of putting dirty laundry mixed with clean clothes into the crib. I should have been suspicious since he was in his room playing quietly for like 10 minutes! Didn't even forget the trashcan!
definitely his dad's boy. Don't worry these are not open. He found them leftover from his party and brought them into this playhouse.


and the darling smile that makes all the antics so forgivable! We love you Sam!

Just noticed most of the pictures I post on here he is wearing his PJs. I promise I do dress him during the day, he doesn't always wear PJs!

Happy 2nd Birthday Sam!

I have fallen to the bottom of the list as far as recently updated blogs again :(

So the most important event since my last post, Sam turned two! Wow can't believe our little man is two years old.

We had a party at our house to celebrate his big day.

Only a bit excited that a car bouncer just went up in his front yard. That is a smile although it doesn't really look like it I know :)


Not pleased that Mama and Dad interrupted my pre-party starting bounce time to take a picture. Don't worry Mama did get ready before the guests arrived!


Can you tell I enjoyed my time in the bouncer? Thank goodness Sam was napping when the guys came to pick it up. That would have been so very sad for him!


A little help from Mama and cousin Abby blowing out my candle.


Eating frosting off Mama's finger! My attempt not to let Sam paw at the entire cake!
and an action shot from the morning. Note Sam is not in this picture. He was back in the bouncer. Proof he was not the only toddler there :)

Already been loved toys

are a big hit with us and our budget as well as Sam. His latest favorite; a bike that our neighbors down the street gave him. They have 4 boys so hopefully they will have more stuff coming his way!

Our growing boy...

again I have a huge gap since the last posting, so here are a few pics of our little man. Guess that he really isn't that little anymore :(

Eating things cold is always better right? Cold mac and cheese and cold uncooked corn on the cob. He likes to help peel it then immediately wants to eat it.

I am back!

and so are Sam and his antics. Since it has been almost 3 months since there has been an update I will just put some of my favorite pics up and start fresh. Hoping to keep this more current.


Sam and I at Legoland. It was so much fun and thanks to our wonderful cousins Josie and Ryan, we got to go for free. Sam loved it and we hope to go back. Too bad it is so expensive!


Sam and Dad at Wilderness Park. It was great fun there. You can buy food from a dispenser and feed the koi and turtles.
and just looking cute in his crib. He likes to play in there now and is a fan of being shirtless. With that physique, can you blame him?


everyone says he looks like Jake. So Jake trying his best to "smile" like Sam. This was actually on Mother's Day but my favorite shot from the day :)

Sam in the snow!

One missed event that I wanted to make sure to get on here. Sam's first trip to the snow. It was fun to get away but definitely not his favorite thing. We went to Big Bear for the weekend. Great weather and plenty of snow so no complaints there. Poor Sam got carsick on the way up the hill so barfed for the first time since baby spit up, I know, poor us No barf for almost a year! It was all over the spot clean only carseat, great!


No pics of that but on to the snow pics.

With Mom getting ready to go out. Just the bibs on, so far so good!
what is this on my head? How do I get it off of there?Dad trying to get a picture with me. The tantrum has begun!
All decked out, jacket, gloves and hat, no way!!

Dad taking me on the sled. Hated that as well. Yes my boots are pink. This was a last minute trip and Mom had no idea how hard it is to find snow boots for babies in February. Luckily one of our friends lent us her's. They have a little girl so pink it was. Poor Sam. It was short lived though!



Helping Dad make a snowman. Pink boots hidden in the snow!


and back where I want to be. On the couch reading with Dad. I am a sunshine boy, no thank you snow!!

And being Davy Crockett at the toystore in Big Bear Village. Finally a hat that didn't get removed immediately!

Finally...

It has been so long since I have posted anything here, sorry. Thanks to those who have been asking. Nice to know people are interested in Sammy Eug :) He is doing great. Getting so big, always on the go and a rapidly expanding vocabulary. Mostly "words" that only Jake and I understand but those still count right?

Rather than account for all the holidays/events that I missed on here, figured I would just keep it current. The holidays were great and we have some cute pics but if I try to document all that, it is not going to happen. I really have no reason to lag so much, there is only one Sammy Eug and Six Stechers seems to be updated rather routinely :)

Here are some shots of Sam's current favorite things!

Anything to do with Koko. He loves them. Always looking for them, dragging them around and hoping to have them in his crib. Sadly for him he does not get to sleep with them in there, we are afraid he will climb out since they are huge, maybe someday!


His boots. He got this darling outfit from his Great Aunt Rita and loves to carry the boots around. Boot is one of his "words" so he is quite proud of them. He went to feed the ducks this past weekend with Grandpa and Daddy. He had a great time until a duck grabbed food out of his hand too aggressively for his liking. On to walking in puddles after that.

Trucks and Bottles or "ga" and "bah tah" as he calls them. Both some of his current favorites. Bah tah always have to be the bottles of coffeemate creamer. He never misses an opportunity to get them from the fridge. Here he is using them together!
His chair, car and remote.


sunglasses, although only inside. Never outside when they would be beneficial :)
Shoes. His other or other people's. He doesn't care. Just loves shoes!


and open mouth kisses. Thanks for being the recipient Sandee!
