The Titus Times: September 2008

The new yard

Thanks to the generosity of Grandpa Ron and Grandma Chris, at long last Samantha now has grass to play on in her back yard!!!

I have included some pictures of before, during, and after pictures for your viewing enjoyment.

Side yard before the top soil came.

View of the back yard prior to top soil.

It is amazing how it looked after getting rid of all the weeds.

The finished product!!! This is the side yard again.

I still have some clean up to do on the patio, but what a difference the grass makes!

It almost looks like a park!!!

Our back yard looks so much bigger now with all the grass. It was a long day getting it all put down, but we had some much welcomed help from neighbors and Grandpa Ron.

It will be nice to have a place for the kids to play!

Thank you Grandma and Grandpa. We love our new grass!!!

My new favorite Sam pic

Here is my new favorite picture of Sam taken this morning. She has been sick all week :-( and was finally feeling better today.

Silly Samantha Pics

Here are just a few more pics of Samantha being her fun loving, clean freak, fashion diva self. Enjoy!

We love cookies!

Sam really enjoys being my little helper. Especially in the kitchen. Cookies are a favorite treat at our house :-)

Fairy Godmother Samantha

Out came the dress-up box one day and Sam became "bibbity boo" (translation, the fairy godmother from Cinderella) Surprisingly she stayed dressed up for most of the day.

Grammy visits from Austin

My Mom came to visit us this summer. It was so much fun!

Of course we also miss the rest of our Texas family and am thankful to be able so see some of them soon when Tamara has her baby.

Well, we are now back to "don't want to" attitude about potty training; I guess we're back to diapers, again. She's just as stubborn as her mother so there's no making her do something she doesn't want to do. Just the same, we have another cute pics to show off.
