Hanging out at the football game

Cousin Logan's last home football game was tonight so we went to cheer on the Panthers.

Sam spent most of the game walking around.  So cute!

Laughing it up with Aunt KC

No more pictures, Mommy!

Another budget-friendly purchase

I told J that I wanted some type of climbing toy for Sam to keep inside during the winter so that he has something to climb out when it's too cold to go outside.

He started looking during the summer and stayed patient when he didn't find anything that wasn't perfect and at the perfect price point.

Then, there it was on CraigsList. 

Sam's new car

Well, J is at it again.  He might need a support group.  He itches for a great deal.  He searches and searches and finds such great steals.  I can't complain b/c he keeps us within budget and finds great toys for Sam.

Sam's new car was just $3!!!  Amazing, I tell ya.

Sam loved it.

Checking things out.

This one is right before he decided to taste the steering wheel:

More walking pics

I think this one might be one of my favorites:

He's still just a little unsteady sometimes:

Sam's first visit with a horse

We went to the farm yesterday to celebrate Aunt KC's birthday and Sam got to visit with one of the horses before dinner.

Bike riding in the Village

J came home from work today and asked if we wanted to go for a ride.  Um...YES! 

J pulled Sam in the trailer at first but the trailer attachment thingy kept rubbing on J's tire so I got to have the trailer attached to my bike!  It's so awesome b/c you don't feel like you're pulling anything at all.

Yes, that's Sam slumped over in his seat.  I think he was dozing but the helmet covers his face so I couldn't really tell.  Everytime I look at Sam with his helmet on, I laugh.  Poor kid with the ginormous head.  His helmet is for a 3 year old. :-)

The cuteness that is J

So, normally my posts are about Sam but I think my next couple of posts are going to be about J b/c he's been especially cute/funny lately.

This morning, J took Sam out of the house so that I could sleep in (thank you, J!) and I slept until 11AM!
The boys were gone until 2PM.  They'd been out all over including to Grammy and Grandpa Shap's and to a couple of grocery stores.

The funny/cute part is what Sam was wearing the ENTIRE day:

Yup.  That's Sam still in his PJs.  J said that he had matching socks on but somehow Sam managed to get one of his socks off and J couldn't find it so he just put a different one on the other foot.  Ha!  Too funny.  I can only imagine what people thought at the grocery store.  I'm sure Sam and J's adorable smiles provided a distraction from the PJs and mismatched socks. 

 I took this pic of the diaper bag to show that inside are a pair of jeans and a shirt.  I guess that's just for emergencies.  :-)

I heart my boys!
