Sami's World

We made it to Utah this year too. We got back from camp on Saturday September 25 about 10:30am. Scott got the whole van cleaned out and a load of laundry started while I ran upstairs and showered and dressed everyone. At 11:30am I ran to the church to help get the food out for the ward party. Scott got himself dressed and he and the kids got to the church by 12:30. Read the rest of this entry »

I don’t feel as though this post is done, but I’m done doing it. Every time I sat down to do this post, something always came up. Enjoy!!

Since our summer was a bit wacky, we ended up doing most of our summer things in September. This included our yearly family camping trip. Because of the inability to be creative this year, we went back to the same place we went last year, Del Valle in Livermore. Read the rest of this entry »

Not sure what social pressures your kids have in life, but for our children the fact that they had never been to Disneyland was top on their list of unfair issues in life. I was not about to indulge the children for the price that it required and was content to let my children experience Disneyland first hand when they were old enough to pay for it themselves!!

I’m hopeful that Scott and I aren’t the only ones….but after 12 years of marriage we had a night alone in a hotel room. I have lots of friends who do this yearly. But Scott and I haven’t had this opportunity since our wedding night. So when he had a fancy hotel room in S.F. (for work) in early September and my sister was in town, we took advantage of the opportunity. Read the rest of this entry »

Here are some highlights from the first few weeks of September:

-Harvested some apples from a super nice sister in the ward. Dehydrated some, kids ate some. 80 apples lasted about 5 days….

-Our homeschooling P.E. group resumed. I now help to coach the 5-8 year old group in Soccer (no laughing Steve….)

-Jaime and Alix’s homeschooling pre-teen night started up again too.

-Dance class has resumed in full force. Jaime, Alix and Niah are all signed up.

-Scott accompanied some youth to a beach/dance trip to Santa Cruz using the party van (aka, big white boat).

-My sister Sara came for her monthly visit around Afton’s birthday.

September 7 marked Afton’s 4th birthday. We were so excited to get to celebrate another birthday. Especially for Afton. She is so girlie and so doing a party for her is fun. She gets all cute and smiles from ear to ear for days. As long as it’s pink, girlie or frilly she’s satisfied. Read the rest of this entry »

On September 4, 2010 Scott and I celebrated our 12 year anniversary. What a GREAT day it was. Since we are getting “old” we really just enjoy spending time together and so that is what we did!

We ran a couple of errands. Had a yummy dinner at (our new favorite restaurant that we decided we could justify eating out at once a year) Spinayarn. Then we ran a couple of more errands and went home for a movie and dessert.

It was a night filled with laughter and talking and fun.

Thanks babe for the last 12 years. I wouldn’t change a thing!

I had just finished updating August when we were off again. Now here it is October and I’m going to update for September. I guess I live too much in the past and need to get back to the present!! But the updates are good and it’s fun to remember how much fun we’ve been having. Well, here we go…..September 2010!!
