our special visitor

Our summer is coming to a close but before it did we had a visit from special guest. My mom, grandma, or as Carson called her Papa. My mom came out from Erie to spend some time with "us" meaning the boys. We had so much fun while she was here. We were able to do so much while she was with us. I introduced her to my favorite place to eat, Chipotle. Which she loved by the way and we had it three times while she was here :) We went to music in the park, we went to playland, and it was so hot my mom and I joined the boys in the water. We had a movie night with lots of food, candy, and more candy. We got the boys hair cut at their favorite place, went to jonhn's pizza, the movies, and swimming. That's not all we did, we were literally non-stop. Our wonderful friends Mike and Lisa got us all tickets to the ice cream zoofari. So Saturday evening my mom, the boys, Chris, me, Mike, and Lisa went to the zoo for ice cream and animals. After that my mom was sweet enough to keep the boys so we could go out with mike, Lisa, Jen and DJ. Thank you mom!!
The next morning we got up and were trying to decide what to do. We decided to get out of this heat. We went to the mountains, our first stop was in general grant. We had some lunch then headed out to see the trees. After that we continued on to Hume Lake. We went to a place called Sandy Cove to let the boys enjoy the lake.
Mom, we enjoyed having you so much and will miss you.
Here are some pics from our visit.

Our new baby boy Sammy

Ok so here he is. I am so sorry for the delay. My computer has been acting up. Anyway, I am sure many of you thought it was a dog, but there were many who thought that I was pregnant. That was funny, I received many phone calls. Our family is done growing on that level. TY has been asking for a dog for as long as I can remember. As many of you Carson cried ALOT as a baby and Ty would continuously say " I told you to get a dog". So as all of us moms are I sacrificed and gave in.
He is a golden retriever. The first day we had him I think I called Chris and said he needs to go back. His cute little face has saved him a number if times. Overall he is a pretty good puppy. Not too hyper, still working on the house training. One of our favorite things about him is that he swims with us. He will jump off the rocks to us and swim over. he can't get back fast enough to do it again. I don't have pictures yet but I will.
The boys went outside to play with sammy( oh yeah I didn't tell you his name did I?) and it was a little backwards, see for your self.
