Good times with friends....

Troy's classmate Ellie and her family.
Baby Linus

Troy's good friend, Ryan, came to visit last Sunday. We had such a good time with him. He is so sweet and played with Dakota:-) Dakota thought it was pretty fun to have Ryan here. She like to show off for him...Kate liked him, too. Especially when we took a group picture at Oma and Papa's house. She couldn't get her eyes off of him! :-)
On Monday night we meet up with Troy and Ryan's classmate Ellie and her family. She just had little Linus 6 weeks ago. It was so nice to meet her little boy. He is sooo cute!
Thanks Ryan for coming. We really enjoyed having you. You are welcomed any time!

I'm six months now...

Our sweet Kate is already six months!

She is such joy to be with. She LOVES
to be kissed on, and smile, and play with
Dakota.

She is a VERY easy-going baby.
She loves one-on-one time.
She loves to watch Nika (our dog).
She loves when daddy comes home.
She gives him big smiles and hangs
out with him while he rests from
a hard day at work. She thinks he
is a pretty awesome dad!

I'm teething....

Getting worked up because my teeth are hurting me.

Since you are not going to hold me and I am going to
complain. Mommy says I look so cute even when
I complain.
More pictures mom?
Ok, I am done! You are not picking me up and I am
in pain. I will sit and cry.
She is so cute!

Kate's first haircut...

When we were in Tahoe I finally talked Troy into letting

me cut Kate's hair so it didn't look like a mullet anymore.

He has a hard time with the thought of our girls getting

their haircut... he likes long hair.

I didn't get a good after picture, but it looks a lot

nicer now. :-)

Tahoe with the Sammons...

Kate and her cousin Elianna. They are only 2 1/2

months apart. We hope one day they will be good friends.

Dakota and Auntie Bam.

Monterey...

I think a fly is on Kate's face.... :-)

Fishes and more...

Papa Sammons and his girls

the fishes swim around.

The first food...

Kate had her first food, spinach, on the 15th. She did such

a great job. She seemed to like it. She is now eating

rice cereal... she is such a big girl!

Ballerina...

Dakota loves to wear her ballerina outfit. When we got out the camera to take a picture we asked her to twirl and this is what she did (I did not show her how to twirl). Maybe she will be a ballerina one day?

she's 4 months!

Such a sweet smile
