Sammy came into town on July 6th and is staying until August 5th. We have had a lot of fun seeing her. She has gotten so big.
We have done a lot of fun things since she got into town. We didn't do anything with everyone the first week they were in town. Steve and I were both really sick and we were trying to get things ready for the basement.
Since she has been in town though we went on a really fun hike around silver lake by Brighton. Steve's mom put together one of the best picnics we have ever had. Steve's uncle was in town too and built this oven in the ground out of a huge pipe. It is really cool. We went to their house after the picnic and hike and made smores. I love Smores.
We also took Sammy, Meg and Brinn to Wheeler farm one night and did a BBQ after and had smores for dessert. The girls loved feeding the animals. Brinn and Meg had never had smores before. It was funny to watch them try and eat them without getting their hands dirty. In the end they didn't want to finish them because of how sticky they were. After the dinner Traci picked up the girls and we went and visited Aunt Linda in the hospital. She had her hip replaced, but was doing really well and anxious to go home.
Last Thursday we did a girls night with Karolynn (Steve's cousin), Kellie (Bob's girlfriend), her mom Leslie, Fin, Sammy, Mary and me. It was a lot of fun. The boys all went over to our house and picked up tacos and watched Kung Fu movies in the basement. While they were doing that we made yummy pizza from Papa Murphys, decorated flip flops with gems, beads, and other fun things. Mine were hot pick with random large and medium sized square gems on the front center, then on each of the sides facing out I placed three more little gems. We then decorated Head bands.I had a bright orange one and put three purple leaf beads off to one side. It turned out much better than I thought. Next we decoupaged some Jars and put candles in them. They were really cool. I think when we eventually do something to the back yard I will make several and hang them around as lanterns. We then made Glitter bracelets. Sadly I had to leave early since I was working the next day.
This week is the last full week of fun plans. Tonight we are going over to have a picnic at Murray Park. On Friday we are going to a BBQ at Kellie's parents house and having a pool party. Then on Saturday we are going to the Alpine Slide. It will be so much fun.
It's so good to see Sammy. I can't believe how big she has gotten this last year.
