I love FAMILY, two very special people came to visit ... my little cousins (not so little anymore) Chelsea Rae and Atlanta Joy. They took a road trip from Lima, OH. We had a nice weekend with them. Check out the pictures, the ones on this post are from the girls, I haven't downloaded mine yet. As you can see we love taking pictures in this family, and this is only a fraction of what was taken.

Rae Rae and Muda
We went to "Battle of the Bands" the kids next door were battling it out. Sam's babysitter Alana took 1st place. You go girl!
As you can see, Sam had a blast. He was up dancing with the band - Political Extinction.

One of many trips to Target!

Smoochy Face. The girls were all over this boy all weekend and he loved every minute of it.

Almost every minute of it.

Sweetie Pies!

We attempted a picnic to Castle Island on Mothers Day, but it ended up being way to cold and super windy ... so we picnicked in the car while Sam took a snooze.

BRRRRRR! We are off to Marine Week in Charlestown Navy Yard. The girls were happy with the sightseeing there.

Fenway Park

We laughed for hours when we realized a little gremlin jumped in our picture, look closely in between Chelsea and I? Ha Ha, did you laugh?

So peaceful!

We all got somewhat matching shirts ... So fun!

Happy Mothers Day to Mommy. Who could ask for more than these two very special BOYS. I love you both.

Man, when did this kid grow up.

I think Dan had a lot of fun with all the girls, thank God for Sam or he would have really been the odd man out ... he is such a trooper.

Lanna Joy and Muda

We had a such a great visit ... we always do. We spend most of our time laughing.

Weir River Farm this Spring

Sam and I recently discovered that we can go to the stables by our house whenever we want, the stables are open to the public. This is now one of Sam's favorite places to go, especially since he loves horses so much. We used to go to Weir River farm once a week to visit his horse friends, now all we have to do is go around the block. Here are some shots from the Spring visits to Weir River.

Sam showing off his new haircut.

He is his mothers son, he sweats like the best of them, he was begging to take off his shirt because he was so hot.

My chubby little boy is thinning out ... don't worry Mom he still has chubby little Sam Bones.

Playing in the rocks.

Saying hi to Coletrane - the draft horse. He is beautiful ... did I mention big!

Little Miss Katie enjoys her time at the farm too ... everyone waits for Story Time to begin.

Jackson and Liam came along too.

Happy Birthday Sammy Light

Today our baby turns two - here are some pictures from his party this weekend.

My mom has Sam talking up a storm. He goes around telling people that he is Dammy Ight (Sammy Light) and when you ask him how old he is he will tell you TWO. Grandma also has Sam calling her Grandma McGraw (as Sam says Dahma Daw) she loves to hear him say it, so he says it over and over to get her to laugh. This kid really does love the time he has with his Dahma Daw.

I think this picture is of Dan's birthday celebration on the 21st. Sam enjoyed helping his Daddy blow out the candles.

Ice Cream Cupcakes!
Sam hangs with his cousin Asher before everyone makes it to the party. Good practice for sharing.
Or maybe not.

Mischa and Zach play in the sandbox.

Sam enjoys a cold beverage in his Adirondack chair.

What can I say, it was a hot day.

Can he really be TWO already. All I can say is that it feels like yesterday.

The closest thing we got to a family portrait on his birthday.

I am so proud of myself. I wasn't sure I could do it, but I did. My gosh, how hard can it be to make balls out of cupcakes. Not too bad.

Birthday Boy!

And his off! Look at that chubby chocolate face.

Water Balloons. We have been so blessed for the last two birthday, such wonderful weather.

Grandpa sends Sam up for a slam dunk.

Grandmas talking about the grandkid.

Zach offers a hand when it comes to opening up the presents.

Sam checks out the scooter he got from Grandma and Grandpa.

I think the guitar tops the list of presents this year. Thank you Bookers.

Playing a riff for Grandpa.

Taking in a ride with the boys from the hood.
