Here Fishy, Fishy!

Lauren and Kaitlyn had a blast on our 2nd annual fishing trip to celebrate Papa's birthday.  Even the vicious geese nearby couldn't keep us away...although they tried over and over again.  Ask Kaitlyn what she remembers about the day, and she'll probably tell you, "Papa whacked a goose with the rod!"   

Lauren looks like a natural!

Papa and Kaitlyn wait for the big one.

Big smiles for a good day.

Kaitlyn worked up the courage to touch a fish for the first time.  We're so proud!

Lauren loved holding the blue gills.

Happy 3rd Birthday Sami!

Happy birthday to our favorite little three year old in the whole world!

Sami's birthday was great fun.  She requested a Care Bear cake, which I quickly found was hard to find.  With my mom's help, I decorated Funshine Bear for our little sunshine.  One of the most memorable parts of the day was watching Sami share her germs!  After she blew out the candles, she pulled one out, licked the bottom, and promptly dug it back in the cake for more.  If that wasn't enough, she sneezed all over the cake as I was cutting it.  Yummy!
