well, I don't want to spend the time to install the slide show thingy, so back to my old blog for now for more pictures! :) sorry!

Monikas New Workshop

So here i found Monika today after she bragged incessantly about her new "workspace" in the closet to do all her crafts and guess where i find her? well the pictures say more than enough!

the first picture shows her little spot in the closet, but "where is monika?" the second photo prove again she is not working in her "FANTASTIC" new workspace that i was not thrilled about in the first place but she insisted it would be great. guess where i found her! thats right! on the bed, listening to her ipod, with all her crafts and goodies scattered all over. I love her guts and this is one of the things i love about her, she makes me laugh. also if you want a good laugh, ask her where she would end up if traveling north from texas. "its a dengerous world out there!"

Random Updates

It's been a while...and I'm in the mood to update.

Let's start with Ronny:
He's sleeping
Kai: He's sleeping...he likes to change Jaiden's diaper. Especially the yucky ones...he says: "poo poo?" and comes to wipe. He's also learned the "mine!" word...good gracious... he loves to play with other kids, but adores his brother so much, he likes to drag him around to wherever he goes and wants to constantly hold him...until he's done, which then he will push him off and there goes Jay...I was once told by my mother that she found me sitting on top of my baby brother's head when I was watching TV...he was only 2 months....I guess Kai IS my child, cuz I found him doing the same thing...could I get mad???! no....my mother just laughed...
Kai got to speak to his great grandmother over the phone last night for the first time...it was QUITE funny...here's the conversation:

Kai: "hi"....(in an almost whispering voice)
G-grandma (G): "konnichiwa, kai kun!" (hello, Kai!)
Kai: "...."
G: "Kai, this is OBAACHAN!!! (grandma)" "JAAPAAAN, OBAACHAN!!!, JAPAN!"
lol....poor thing...she just lost her husband, or my grandfather this year and has been really struggling....I wished more than anything to be able to make a trip down there, she's always done so much for me, even when she knew I wasn't her "real" grandchild...I never knew the difference with her....

Jaiden: sleeping...
he's blabbering lots more and smiles lots still...he rasies his bum up in the air and moves his legs under him, but not quite at the crawling stage yet...he's so darn cute...I'm told that he doesn't look like either Ronny or myself...hmmm....

Monika: I decorated our master bedroom!!! It's romantical now! lol I've been dreaming of having a nice romantic place for our room, and I finally did it!! It's so nice, I think! And it's not even all the way finished! I love it! Also, I created a little craft room for myself!!! Guess where?! Anyone who's been to my apartment will know...IN THE CLOSET! DUH! WHERE ELSE!? lol but I LOVE IT!!! It's the shnazziest place ever!! Come join me! lol

What I'm really excited for lately: Christmas pictures that the Sherrards took for us. I can't wait to send them out with our Christmas cards!
and my new craft room and our new master bedroom :)

Ok, that's it. I'm bored now. chaito!

Trunk or Treat!

We went Trunk or treating at our ward today! Kai was more fun than last year collecting candies, that's for sure! He was SO excited with all the candy! lol We had a good day...

Carolyn was super nice to make Jaiden's costume super fast so that the boys would match, it was super cute! Thanks Carolyn! and Thank you Aunt Cathy for Kai's costume!

We just got back from our vacation in San Antonio! It wasn't a very long one, or a very exciting one, but just to be able to be together as a family was the greatest. We loved every minute of it and realize more and more that we love each other so very much! Wouldn't it be so nice to have these kinds of days everyday!? lol

Welcome to the Sampert's blog!
