It seems Blake is in a big stage right now where he's doing lots of new things.  We have all enjoyed watching the Olympics.  The kids catch about 1/2 hour before we shew them off to bed.  Samantha is sure she could do some of the same things the figure skaters due.  Blake has enjoyed watching with dad while they add  their own sound effects like "BOOOM" or "Niiiiiccceeee"

Although Blake continues to say mostly one-word phrases I can tell he knows most of it by heart. I'll say one word and he will say the next word.  It never amazes me at how much kids remember.

We had Blake's two-year pictures taken and they turned out great.  You'll find those posted above.

We made it back to Samantha's library time this week and she really enjoyed being back.  There were a lot of kids but she was thrilled that  th person doing it sang a few songs this week that she knew.

I took the kids to mall playground this week as they were getting cabin fever and wanted to run around.  I was so glad i did because they were in great moods the rest of the day and Samantha met several "friends" while there that she enjoyed playing with. 

Samantha enjoys Sabbath School so much and has enjoyed going by herself.  We've heard from a couple of her teachers that since she's satarted going by herself she has opened up and become juch more active.  Last night one of her teachers shared with me that Samantha said a precious and heartfelt prayer in Sabbath School.

We had a playdate this week with Gianna and her sister Alexa.  It was fun to meet them at the mall playground and then run over to little place that had kids rides.  It was so fun to talk with their mom Rhonda and have the kids play together.

Do you remember the song, "Who Let the Dogs Out?"  Well, its  alive and well at our house.  Travis has taught the kids and the song and Blake will walk around the house saying, "who who who who who."

We took the kids to a model-train show this weekend...
