Fun times

This was a busy week, but aren't they all? Jacob left on Monday for a little boat ride, so it's just been Samuel and I holding down the fort. We were hit with a terrible storm on Thursday, but didn't sustain any damage to our home. Friday I was blessed with a VERY short work day. (1 hour!) Jacob scheduled the delivery of our new mattresses that day, so all I had to do was check in at work. Samuel was dropped off with Kathi, and then picked up less than 2 hours later!  :)

Be safe!

Come home soon!

 

Don't be sad!

And we've had a busy weekend full of playdates! Friday afternoon we met up with Christine and her daughter, Olivia. The kids had fun playing at the house, then had a BLAST swimming at the pool! Samuel was so tired when we left (due to not getting a nap) that he slept 13 hours Friday night!!

Swimming with friends

"Mommy, I swim like a fish!"

Saturday morning Jackie and Cody came over to hang out. Our husbands are both on the same ship, and she helped keep me (somewhat) sane during deployment.  ;) The boys had a blast playing with cars, trucks, and pulling all the pillows off the sofas. Samuel had a little trouble at first with sharing, but once I explained that Cody wasn't taking any of his toys home he seemed to calm down.

Silly boys!

It was a funny coincidence that both of them are wearing branded outfits with basketball shorts.

 Oh man!!!

And Sunday afternoon was spent at a VBS kickoff/carnival at Jackie's sister's church with Jackie, Alexandria, Cody, and Jackie's sister, Leslie. Samuel got to ride a horse, pet various animals, enjoy a snow cone, and play with his friends. Such a great way to end the weekend!
