Phoenix Zoo

When our Colorado family visit, we enjoyed a

trip to the zoo. It was a lot of fun and Sam

enjoyed being out and about....and the turkeys.

Here are some pics from the zoo visit.

Lindsey, Cousin Connor, me and Sam outside

Visit with Aunt Lindsay, Uncle Chris and Cousin Connor

A few weeks ago, my brother, sister in law and
nephew visited and we got to spend some good
times with them. One of my favorite memories
was when Connor took Samantha's pacifier and
began walking around with a pink pacifer in his
mouth. He was a gentleman and brought her a
bottle though. That was adorable too. These are
a few of the pics from us just hanging out together.

Uncle Chris and Sam....Sam is more interested in
Connor though


Connor is one big ball of energy and this was mid run :)



This was so cute he was trying to put his shoe
on, but it was not untied.




Just taking a break



Aunt Lindsay and Sam...once again, she's more
interested in her cousin.


Just relaxing with Aunt Lindsay

I love this picture!

Connor was so sweet with Sam.

Sam wanted to return the favor and steal

Connor's pacifier. :)

And then pull his hair.....they are preparing each

other for siblings. :)

PF Chang's Rock and Roll Marathon

No, Sam and I did not run it! :) But Grandma Ellis did participate
in the half marathon. Here are some pics from after Grandma Ellis
finished the race
