Crossword Puzzles Aint Cuttin It

Apparently Grand-mama (aka Purty Pat) isn't happy with my lack of posts either. I just haven't been good about updating photos. I wasn't planning on updating this that often, but whatever makes the old lady happy! Ha Ha, we love you Grandma. Well, let's see. I just got the kids down for a nap with a little bribing on Sam's side. I'm listening to Paula White. I just got an email that irritates me (not the email, what it was about). It was about Oprah and this whole new way of thinking that she and Eckhart Tolle are teaching people. I'm really bothered by how many people buy into that whole peace within and that Jesus isn't the only way to Heaven. Ah... yes he is. They're going to be in for a rude awakening. Lets see...should I believe the Bible that is God-breathed or a book written by a man who is so far from the truth. Sorry, the subject just really bothers me. Isn't this blog called Sam and Hannah? :) Oh, my. Well, like I said they're sleeping. Sam's 4, Hannah's still 1 1/2. They both have a bit of a cold, but they act fine. Hannah's got a new word. It's "map". I've been trying to teach her to talk for months and Dora comes on the tv and says "say map" and she says it? Anyway, I guess I better save all these amazing thoughts for tomorrow.

Here's your stinking update

Apparently Mary's bored and needs me to update my blog. I really have nothing exciting to update. I'm sick in bed and Sam's at bible study and Hannah's playing in my laundry basket. I'm actually watching The View, I banned this show a long time ago but I can't find any Lucy or Brady Bunch reruns on right now. Dan's at the office meeting with my dad. I have church tonight if I feel better. Tomorrow night I'm going to a meeting for Sam's preschool if Mary would answer her cell phone so I can see if she'll babysit. Saturday is Dan's birthday so I'm hoping to feel better by then so I can get my house cleaned...Jen you want to see what a house can really look like when mom's sick in bed? Not good. I'm not even going to show you. Dan's very helpful with the kids and making food, but I am not going to ask him to clean. Besides I like the way I clean! Anyway, that's what's on my mind and I have no new pictures of the kids. We went to the cabin last weekend but I was too comfortable on the couch to get up and take any pictures. Dan and I were playing cards too. We did get my mom and dad to play Apples to Apples (fun game) but my dad complained when he wouldn't get chosen because he was SURE he had the best answers. Obviously.
Hope you all have a good day!

Happy Easter

We went to my aunt Julie's in South Dakota for Easter. Julie directed her church's Easter production and did very well! We went on Saturday with my mom and dad and Grandma and Grandpa. We had a really good time and ate really good food! Sam was sick last night and today, but he still loved it. He had been developing a cold and both kids (in seperate hotel rooms...Sam had to sleep with Grandma and Grandpa of course) were up around 11-11:30 until 3 am! I don't know what was wrong with Hannah, just cried all night...not like her. She's my good sleeper. Sam got sick at Julie's and had a 102.9 temp. He slept on the way home so that helped. They were excited to come home and get their Easter baskets (as if all the spoiling from Grandma, Great Grandma and Julie wasn't enough!). Sam feels good enough to play with his trains, but really, what could keep him from that? Here are some pictures from Julie's house and at home with their Easter baskets. Hope you all had a great Easter!
Hannah and Julie
Aunt Julie...
I'm surprised Hannah posed with the bunny I got her, all she cared about was the chocolate!
Sam got his "Henry" train he's been asking for.

Hannah aka Miss Roses

This is Hannah wearing Grandpa's boots at the cabin. She knows when she's cute and she loves to get a laugh out of someone...and laugh with you. Hannah loves to be a part of whatever's around her. If she's with Sam, she wants to play trains. If she's with mom, she wants to carry a purse and put make up on. If she's with Dad, she wants to sit in his lap and watch racing on t.v. (which I think is where she's most content). She is very much a girl, however. When Sam's not home she'll play with her dolls and push them around in stroller. She like to spin in circles and dance when she hears music. If the t.v. is on in a room and there's music playing, she'll run in that room just so she can dance. She doesn't have many words but she understands you very well. I told her Grandma was coming over this morning to watch her and she started clapping, giggling and spinning in circles. Oh, yeah, she loves her m&m's. While I'm writing this she just brought me the candy jar full of them, and has to sit on my lap. She's definitely my child.

Birthday Party

Sam turned 4 on Wednesday and we had our families over today for brunch. He thought he was turning 5 today since he turned 4 at his "last" birthday. We took him to Chuck E. Cheese on Wednesday with Woody, Jen and the girls. Below are pictures of both.

Sammy's 4!

Nothing new really

I've been told I don't post on here enough, but I guess I just don't have much to add! My kids still look the same from the last time I added pictures and unless you want me to document lunch, bath time, Sam playing with his trains etc. I don't have much to fill you in on! Sorry. I guess we're pretty routine over here. Sam goes to ECFE, Cubbies and BSF (bible study fellowship). BSF is his favorite. Hannah just likes to copy Sam and follow people around the house. I just got my hair cut really short (really short to me). I haven't had it this short since I was 2. Mary did a good job and gave me some highlights too. She just got a job at Simonson's in Elk River if anyone is looking for a place to go, I highly recommend her! Dan's working hard and always helpful with the kids. They love when he's here. Tonight Dan and I are going to the Wild game. My mom got us tickets for Christmas. I guess that's about it. Hope you all (maybe only 3 of you! :) have a good day!
