Shout out to John McCain

So, this is our last-ditch effort to revive the polls! Papa bought this shirt for Sam, so we had to show it off. I am sure it won't thrill all of our blog viewers :) Just for fun and just for Papa!

Big Tex Rocks!

Sam has had a long-standing love/hate relationship with Big Tex! Well, I think now that Big Tex has new clothes, she is finally warming up to him! Here is Sam and Daddy at the end of our State Fair adventure. It was fun going this year now that Sam can ride a lot of the rides!

Daddy's bottom kept getting stuck on the sides of the slide, but they made it down!
These are a lot of Dave's co-workers who got to spend the day eating corny dogs!

Sam won (sort of!) a Hello Kitty! I am sure it's so clean!

Yummy cotton candy!

Right before the long slide down- obviously by the size of mommy's cheeks, I ate one too many corny dogs!

We can't wait to see your outfit in 2009, Big Tex!

Sammy is in Louisiana with her Mums and G this week! We met her cousins in Shreveport and got to watch them in their cheer competition. They are the prettiest girls on the squad!

Sam loves her cousins and had a such a fun time watching them!

Visit to Mimi and Papa's and Cheerleading Spirit Gone Wild!

Sam and I went to Mimi and Papa's a few weeks ago for a quick trip! We all had a great time except for Dexter, Mimi and Papa's dog (who thinks he's human). He was a little territorial of Mimi and Papa and didn't like Sam getting a lot of attention- he tried to destroy anything that was Sam's- the photos will show the evidence!

We always go to The Nature Center in Ft. Smith- a really neat place where Sam likes to catch fish (magnet poles with stuffed fish in a hole!)..... Sam and Papa in the bird calling thingy....

Mimi and Sam putting puzzles together

Poor Dex! This is his spot that has been taken over!

Sam helping with dinner! We pretty much eat as much as possible when we go to visit Mimi and Papa!

This is the train that Aunt Kat had growing up- we drag it out every time! Sam with her Mimi

Uh oh.... Dex got the new Barbie that Mimi got Sam! He had a lot of anger pinned inside that weekend!

So sad..... So ashamed.....

Dex doing all he could to avoid Mimi and Sam playing together!

Sam and Mimi swinging in back yard

Sam's famous random photographs

We hit some of the big time outdoors "shops" for daddy but didn't find anything- except for this cool chair!

Sam and I got to watch Baby Riley a few weeks ago. Sam LOOOOOVES Baby Riley (and her sister, "Baby Remi")

This is Sammy at her Pep Rally this Friday! Go, Mini Mustangs! Very complicated cheer :)

Sam and her sweet friend, Cassidy

The big game- Sam got to make the tunnel for the football players!

How cool is this? The Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders were at Albertson's so daddy took sam there JUST so SHE could see them! We even got autographed photos!!!
