I know...I know...I need to blog more often.

I really really need to update more often. It's not like I don't have anything to blog about...I really have quite a lot, it is just this thing called work, taking care of the kids (including Adam & Tulip :) ), the house, etc. just keep getting in the way...darn it! Anyway, I will do my best to blog more often, not that I have tons of fans out there wondering where I have been, but I would just like to keep this little blog more up to date.

So let's see...I will start with Samantha. She still refuses to roll over...it could be that she still hates to be on her stomach, but she is great at sitting!! She has great posture, really great posture and she is attempting to crawl, but you know that really takes too much work so she would rather sit on her bottom and master the art of sitting. Here is her attempt at crawling.



Another thing Samantha is trying her best to do it stand up...of course she loves to attempt this in the most dangerous place she can...the bathtub! Here are some cute rear views of Samantha doing her best to stand during bath time with Hannah...





Sister playing time...


Samantha hamming it up...she really thinks she is quite the comedian and laughs at a lot of things she does...





Samantha saw my dad in August also and she hasn't seen him too much in her life. At first she seemed quite curious about him and this mustache on his face..



But then she decided she wasn't too sure about this guy and Dedo didn't help by making fun of her...



Hannah continues to be Hannah, so difficult one minute and incredibly pleasant the next...ah the life of an almost 4 year old...can't wait until those hormones kick in when she is teenager, it should be interesting.

In August we went to the Yolo County Fair. It is free to get in but then they get you on the rides. Well one of the rides Hannah made friends with a little boy named Luke, who believe it or not had a Grandma who had a VIP pass to get on all the rides for free! Way to go Hannah! After that ride where they met, the two were inseparable and Hannah would not stop holding that little boy's hand! She got a lot of free rides in thanks to her friendliness.





There were so MANY more rides these two went on but I won't post them all. We had a fabulous time at the fair until we wanted to go home and were so tired and were looking forward to a shower and dinner and we came to the car to find this...



Flat tires suck!! Adam changed the tire but then the spare had no air in it so after searching the Yolo County Fair for someone with a portable air compressor we called AAA. What a frustrating end to a nice day. We were exhausted!!

Another exciting thing that happened for Hannah in August was that she FINALLY learned to ride a tricycle!! YAY!! I was really getting worried about her b/c her friends were literally riding circles around her on their 2 wheeled bikes. The problem as it turned out was that her short little legs just couldn't properly reach the many many tricycles she had tried. My mom and Hannah finally found one at a garage sale that even has one of those push handles in the back and a cute little basket in the front. So now Hannah is peddling all over the place.





So that is that. I am back to work full time and it sucks big time, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
