This.........

is what happens when Mom"naps" on the couch for 10 minutes while Sam "watches cartoons"!!!!  Ha ha.

Our Park

We are so lucky to have a park in our complex.  Sam absolutely loves to play at it!!  And what kid doesn't love the park.  This is just one day playing at the park after Daddy got home from school. 
Above is Mark going down the slide!

Sam LOVES sticks......and dirt for that matter!

 And eating sticks and dirt!!

This one is my favorite!!!

We are so glad we have this awesome park!!!  Too bad it's getting cold.....almost too cold to play. 

the Zoo

A couple days after MArk's birthday, he had school off, so we decided to take Sam to the zoo since MArk had never been.  Here are some of my favorite pictures.

It was fun, but Sam was not as into it as he normally is!  Bummer!

Mark's b-day (Sept. 14th)......way over due!

 So for Mark's birthday I found a recipe for a Dr. Pepper cake and decided to try it since Mark loves Dr. Pepper.  It didn't really taste like Dr. Pepper at all, but it was still very good!!!

 Sam clapping after Mark blew out his candles

See......I do exsist!  I'm just not in many of the pictures!

Sam loved the cake, and soo did we!  Happy Birthday Babycakes!  I couldn't be happier being married to you!!!

The BIG 3-2

Today is my sweet Hubby's birthday.  We did a little celebrating today, but he has school off on Friday so that will be the big celebration.  I am grateful this wonderful man was born 32 years ago.  I can't imagine my life without him and even though we are pretty much opposites, I couldn't imagine marriage being better with anyone else.  Happy Birthday babe!  I am the luckiest girl in the world.
