M & M Olympics

Samuel and Merideth's gymnastics classes ended with the M & M olympics, a fun time to show off what they have learned. They both look forward to this and really look forward to the TWO bags of m & ms they get with their trophies!

Everyone got first!

"About My House" by Samuel Taylor

Samuel wrote this book during his quiet time yesterday all by himself:

note: he didn't want me to post page 4 due to its content but I assured him of those who view our blog wouldn't reveal our family secret.

The End

Samuel's Kindergarten Program!

Samuel had his Kindergarten program today and it was adorable! We were super impressed with how great the kids did, how well they new their individual lines, and how much fun they had! For the last song, which is below, they put on graduation hats and all seemed to feel a little bit bigger.Samuel and two of his good buddies, Ty and Eli.


Mrs. Stegall, his teacher, and Samuel.

It is so hard to believe that in the fall Samuel will be in first grade, it all goes by way too fast!

A BIG day for Samuel Lawrence!!!!!!!!!!

So Samuel has been saving his money for the past 8 months for an electric guitar. He started guitar lessons in August of last year where we got him an acoustic guitar but at lessons they do one week of acoustic and one week of electric...he fell in love with the electric and knew right away he wanted to get one. Marc and Samuel looked into how much all the equipment was and we told him that we would pitch in half if he could save half. Well, today he did it, our 6 year old BIG boy saved $150 +! We are super proud of him and he was so excited he could hardly wait for Marc to get home so they could go buy it!

Samuel with his money he saved in his "spend" jar for 8 months!!!

He really was almost in tears because he was so excited.

Hooray!!!!!

The excitement doesn't stop!

Daddy had to get his groove on!

Merideth planned this picture, both with guitars of course!

Rock on baby boy!!!

Soccer Season Ending!

Samuel and Merideth had a fun soccer spring soccer season that ended last Saturday. This was Merideth's first "organized" sport and she goes back and forth daily on whether or not she will do it again...we shall see!

Happy Mother's Day, Yesterday!!!

We/I (Erin) had a wonderful Mother's Day yesterday because I got to be with Marc, Samuel and Merideth ALL day and some of my motherly duties were taken care of for me. I am so blessed to be a wife and mother and really don't have any words to express how much these three people mean to me! I love you!

This was from our sermon on Sunday and I just loved it as a reminder for all the women in our lives:

Every woman needs and deserves...

1. Encouragement from the church family.

2. The love and support of her own family.

3. A time to rest.

4. Our consistent and earnest prayers.

Pray for your mamas!!!!!

Lots o' fun with babies and selling!

Danica, Dylan, and Tanner came up this last weekend to contribute and help out at our neighborhood garage sale. We passed on some great stuff and were left with very little to pack up and donate, it was great! Dylan and Tanner are crawling around a lot and have little personalities that are super fun to watch.

Dylan and Tanner braved a Thunder game, they did great!

Danica and Dylan enjoying the game.

Rumble paid us a visit and we got a good pic of him and Tanner.
