Where we've been in a year

Wow! Just checked the date on the last post and saw we've been remiss in our updates....so here goes:

In January 2009, we moved to Georgia for Daddy's work. It was an awesome house and neighborhood. They had sooo many places to visit and parks to play in! Sam and I even started going to the Little Gym to do gym stuff. It didn't feel like exercise because we had soooo much fun! We weren't too far from the mountains either. Mommy really liked being that close because we got to visit them a lot. There was a freak snowstorm and we got to play in the snow for the first time and make snowmen! In March, after Daddy finished the job he was working on - the place shut down and we moved to Kentucky.

We got to stay with Miss Judy and Mister Charlie in their house. It was soooo cool there! Not like Florida, where it's hot all the time. They have two puppies - Gracie and Bear - and they were fun to play with. They like to run in circles and bark and kiss you! Mommy calls them Cha hua hua doggies. We got to go to our first Easter egg hunt, too. It was raining on Easter so they had the hunt inside the church and had bounce houses in the gymnasium and everything. Sam has been climbing on everything and I talk for the both of us. Sam and I got to help plant the garden and play in the backyard on real grass. Daddy got a job back in Orlando and was staying there while we were in Kentucky. We didn't like being away from him so much so we moved back to Florida!!

In August, we moved back to Palm Bay and have been here since. I use the potty all the time and wear big girl panties. Sammy is still a baby because he wears diapers, be he likes to go on the potty too. Pretty soon he will wear big boy panties and go on the potty all the time like me! I'm 3 now cause my birthday is in November like Mommy and Sam will be 2 in January. Daddy and Neil have birthdays in August. People say I'm really smart because I can count to 17, know my ABCs and the sounds they make, can spell my names, Sammy, Mommy, Daddy, Neil, and Kirk. I got a camera for Christmas this year so hopefully I can put up some of MY pictures. Mommy is going to help me put up some pics now until I learn how.

I'd better go for now. Neil is home from California where he's a Marine and I want to play with him. I'll try to post more later...

Love ya!

It's been a long time...

Hey everyone,

Well, Sam and I are looking at the blog and have to say that we have been quite negligent in keeping it update. The last post was in June - almost 7 months ago! Now, Sam and I both take blame for not posting anything, but we have to say that in the past 7 months NO ONE has emailed us to say, "What's going on? How come you haven't been blogging?!?!"

With that said, I think Sam may have a point. In June, a couple of different things happened. First, Daddy started traveling for work. He was the one that was always leaving the computer logged in, so we were able to sneak online and throw together some posts. Also in June (July?) Mommy started using MySpace and has been posting all sorts of pictures on that.

Well, I still like blogging, but between not being able to get on the computer and spending a lot of time playing with Sammy, I think it will probably be awhile before I get back online.

So, for now, if you want new pics, email Mommy and ask about our family's MySpace site.

Love y'all,
Melody and Sam

New Pics from Yesterday

Daddy took some pictures of Sam and I while we were eating snack yesterday and posted them here: http://www.mnsHosting.com/sameandmel

He posted all of the pictures he took and didn't delete the bad ones so some are good and some are not so good.

Neil leaves for the Marines in 8 days, so I will try and post some pictures of him (with Sam and me) later tonight.

See ya later,
Melody

New spot for Pictures

Melody here. Daddy just finished putting up a couple of photo gallerys including one from the fires in Palm Bay, as well as one for Sam and I. The link is http://mnshosting.com/photos.htm

See ya later.

Happy Mother's Day 2008

Hey everyone,

Sammy here. I know Melody and I haven't been very good at keeping the blog updated. For that we apologize. Life has been pretty hectic. However, some is better than none. With that out of the way, here is the real reason for the post today.



Today is Mother's Day and Melody and I just wanted to say Happy Mother's Day to the best Mommy of them all - our Mommy. Even when she is feeling tired, she always takes great care of us, makes us smile, and somehow is able to handle both of us all day long! (Daddy can handle the both of us so long as one of us is sleeping!)

Melody and I took Mommy to brunch at the Crown Plaza earlier today. It was pretty cool, but I got the short stick! With the incredible buffet with everything you can imagine (include lots and lots of desserts) I wasn't allowed to eat anything! Everyone, including Grandma Paula and Gloria who came with us, thought the food was very good and had a great time. Here are some pictures of Mommy and us. (Melody is eating a chocolate covered sugar stick!)

Mommy, Melody, and Me

Mommy and Me!

I realized that I made a mistake. Because Melody gave me a kiss, I did get to eat some chocolate!

Melody's Kiss

The evidence of the kiss!


Even though Melody and I never got to meet her, we want to say Happy Mother's Day to Grandma T. If it weren't for her, Daddy wouldn't have been here and the our entire universe would be different. SO Happy Mother's Day, Grandma T.

Daddy, Grandma T, Uncle Paul B, Aunt Paulette (back row)




On a different note, yesterday would have been Grampa T's 97th birthday. Mommy and Daddy have been trying to scan in a bunch of the old pictures and I saw this one of Grandpa T. Happy Bithday Grandpa T!


Well that is it for now. Again, Happy Mother's Day Mommy! We love you and appreciate everything that you do for us! Happy Mother's Day to all the other Mom's out there!

We'll blog to ya later!
Sam and Melody

Just a few quick pics

I'll post more tomorrow...

Melody

Paybacks are coming!

Hey everyone!

I just finished reading Sammy's post and I can't believe that he actually put up that picture of me! No one was suppose to ever see me with my hair like that! Oh well, paybacks are coming and I will get the perfect picture of him sooner or later.

Anyway, I decided to post some of the cute pictures from last nights dinner. I'm sure you can figure out what I ate (and wore!)

Talk to y'all later!
