"Second Grade is AWESOME"...

...and so Sammi says her first day of school. I can't believe she's in 2nd grade already! So far she LOVES it and her teacher. She's doing great and is such a fun kid - my little pal. We all miss her while she's at school, but it's fun when she comes home as Keith and Maddi race upstairs yelling 'Sammi's home!". *sniff* I love my kids!

ZOO Boise

We took the kids to the Zoo here in Boise. It was a lot of fun...the Zoo has added a new Africa scene to the park and it was really cool. Maddi LOVED the lions and tiger and sitting on everything she could.

Solids, here we come!

Eli is now eating solid foods! So far, he'll eat anything (peas and spinach included!) Every meal, the "first bite" is the funnest thing to watch - his short little arms are outstretched, his mouth wide open and he's almost SHAKING, he's so excited. So cute.

Sammi's haircut

So, Sammi too needed a haircut and we took her in. I was thinking a trim, some "swoosh bangs" but she had other ideas. She wanted it like Maddi's and so, we chopped it off. 7 inches! Ah! I admit, it took me a few days to get used to it...but it is pretty darn cute! Or rather, she is. :)
