Sami's World

We had a fabulous swim season. All the kids did really well against their own best times from years past. Scott was still doing his Secretary job on the Gator Board. I got “trained” as an announcer for swim meets. That was REALLY fun. Put me behind a mic and I have A LOT of fun! I even got to announce for Championships. Read the rest of this entry »

On Scott’s birthday (March 4) we were sitting around at the end of the day chatting about different birthdays that Scott has had over the years since our marriage.

Thanksgiving was awesome this year as usual. I didn’t take as many pictures this year as I usually do but it was just as great.

We spent the day before making pies. Yummm!

I got up at 5am to start cooking (that is my favorite part of Thanksgiving. Honestly!).

We invited the Butt Family and Toh (pronounced ‘toe’) Family for dinner this year. We had fun with that!

We started puking that night…. :o(

All in all a fabulous day. LOVE LOVE LOVE Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving leftovers! Read the rest of this entry »

Niah had her 7th birthday in November. She is hard to shop for. She is an animal lover, I am not….

So after LOTS and LOTS of thinking and pondering and looking, we got Niah a Hermit Crab. She loves it!

We had to celebrate her birthday in the morning because we are just busy in the evenings. So Scott went to work late and we had a BIG breakfast and presents and cupcakes all before 10am. Read the rest of this entry »
