Funny Girl

Samantha is so many things!  She's beautiful, creative, caring, compassionate, artistic, and strong-willed.  She is also so very funny!!  She does the silliest things sometimes.  And, we laugh!  She laughs too.  Some of her antics have lead to a laughing event so hard, we all end with tears in our eyes!  We love you, Samantha Grace and all of the laughter you bring into our lives!!

Here is a couple of her latest comical bits...

Getting ready to go to Nebraska for Thanksgiving.  Chad gives the kids toothbrush toppers so that we can keep all germs contained.  Shortly after Samantha receives hers, she comes back to Chad and asks, "How do I put this thing on?"

Chad quickly rattles off, "Samantha, just put it on the end."

Off she went to complete the task and finish her packing.

When we arrived at Grandpa and Grandma's house, I went to their suitcases to get toothbrushes and this is what I found....

Things that make you go Hmmmmm.....

We laughed so hard!!  All she had to say was, "Dad told me to put it on the end."  So hilarious!!

Oh, Samantha...  :-)

**************************************************************************

It was almost time for bed.  We were finishing showers and all the to-do's before calling it a night.  Chad had just got home from a basketball meeting (he's coaching Cody's basketball team).  The team consists of 3rd and 4th grade boys.  Cody was going through the list to see which boys he knew.  

He didn't know some of the 3rd grade boys, so we decided to ask Samantha about them(she's in 3rd grade).  

(I'm using a fake name for privacy reasons...but you'll get the point)

Us:  Samantha, do you know a Caleb Michaels?

Samantha:  No, but I know a Caleb.

Us:  What's his last name?

Samantha: Michaels.

Us:  ::scratching heads::  Huh??!!  :-)

Such a funny girl!!!

Family Time on the Farm

Thanksgiving was wonderful!!  We went back to Nebraska for a few days and filled our days with riding four-wheelers, shopping, eating, playing games, shooting guns and bows, chatting, watching football, and laughing!  As always, the end came much to quickly.  But, I'm so thankful for the time we spent together and all of the memories we made.

Here comes Uncle Miah and Cody and Logan are right behind him.

Halloween

I realize this is almost a month late...  What can I say???  Better late than never!!

Our Halloween this year was a bit different than the last.  Last year, we attended a Trunk or Treat at a church in town.  This year, we were able to walk around our neighborhood and let the kids go door-to-door.  It was so much fun!  Definitely the way Trick-or-Treating was meant to be enjoyed.  Along the way we met some neighbor friends and we finished our trick-or-treating together, which made it even better.

This year, Samantha was a ladybug and Chloe was a cheerleader.  Cody, however, decided that he was too big to get dressed up and come along.  ::Sniff, sniff::  My baby is growing up.  :-(  He ended up staying home with Chad to help hand out candy.
