Daddy and Sammie Day

i had off from school yesterday and daddy had off from work because of veterans day.  mommy had to work...BOO!!!  but daddy and i had a great day on our own.  i let him sleep in (actually, he BEGGED me to keep watching dora while he slept for an extra half hour - i didn't mind too much).  we went to lunch.  we got his truck washed and detailed.  we went to the grocery store..........AND THEN..........THE PARK!!!!!  i love the park so much, the swings and climbing and sliding boards.  i had a blast and, of course, daddy was snapping pictures and videos like a madman.  the whole day really wore me out, i think mommy put me to bed at 6:30 last night.  enjoy the pics and video. 

Hallowen Pictures!

had another great halloween with my cousins.  i loved trick-or-treating and telling everyone happy halloween.  i hauled in a pretty good stash too.  i even walked like a big girl the ENTIRE night and i said thank you to everyone who gave me candy. here are a couple pictures from last night

me - cupcake
trevor - dracula
tyler - navy seal (though he looks like an islamic woman in the pics - trust me he's wearing camouflage)
sadie - bride
rori - ice princess

more pumpkins!!

so, every year mommy and daddy carve pumpkins.  mommy always likes to do something different.  this year, she made my (our) pumpkin a cat face.  so fun.  she's also very crafty (see pink pumpkins in support of breast cancer awareness month).  can't wait for halloween.  all of my virginia cousins are coming over again this year, we always have so much fun.  also, a random pic of me wearing my glasses at home (for once). 

Fall Fun!!

last weekend i went with my cousins to a farm in fredericksburg.  i went on a hay ride, rode on a train and even got to pick out my own pumpkin.  it was so fun.  oh and, breaking news.......i am going to be a cupcake for halloween.  so fun, can't wait.

Star of the Week!!

i know we're well into october right now but i have not posted anything in a while and just wanted to let everyone know i was the star of the week at school the last week of september.  why?  because i'm working really hard, i ALWAYS finish my workbox and i have a wonderful attitude......oh, and i rock.  as does my teacher, woughter.   yeah buddy!!!

What a Ride!!!!!

so, from time to time, we like to post pictures of sammie that show how far she has come and how much she has grown.  well this is one of those times.  she continues to amaze us every single day. 

Happy Anniversary, Mommy and Daddy!!!

First Day of First Grade!!

OBX 2012

i had an awesome vacation in the outer banks with my klineburger family.  i loved spending time with mom-mom, joe-pops, megan, ryan, aunt lisa and uncle keith (even mommy and daddy).  we had so much fun.  i played in the ocean and made sand castles, had a blast.  can't wait until next year's vacation.

FINALLY!!!!!!

mommy, daddy and i have waited a very long time for this moment to come.  a VERY long time.  but we finally did it.  after about 7 months of not using my button and a strong few months of me eating well and slowly but surely gaining weight..........we finally had my button removed.  it has not been all rainbows and ice cream to say the least.  after having it removed for about 30 days, it was still leaking periodically and it was recommended that we have it surgically closed because it would not close on it's own.  so, this past monday, we did just that.  i was so excited to be going to the "doctors" and to the "hospital" (as you can tell from my "before surgery" pics):

changing the channel

playing with gloves

going for a ride (the nurses were so nice and let me play wherever i wanted)

"what you want?  one milkshake or two milkshakes?"

and then came recovery.  it was not an easy recovery to say the least.  we were in there a while and i made mommy and daddy carry me all over the recovery room.  we must've done over 100 laps.  good news is, i did a great job of drinking juice.  

tuesday in the hospital was SO boring.  i made mommy and daddy take me to the play room like, 6 times.  i played on the WII, colored, played with this dollhouse, and even made daddy a necklace (he loves it)

the whole time, i really just wanted this stupid IV taken out of my hand.  it was such a pain!

chillin', wating to go home

yeah, get this thing off of me......STAT!!!!
