Thanks Grandma for letting me have so much fun with Papa's shaving cream!

Papa's Birthday Celebration

On June 2, we had a birthday celebration for Papa. It started with Grandma Nancy & Sammy baking Papa's favorite cake, German Chocolate. We made two small cakes, one truly German Chocolate and the other chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and sprinkles. Sammy called that cake Sammy's cake. Sammy loved to help, taste and even help clean up!

Here are the boys blowing at the candles!!

Grandma Nancy grilled hamburgers and hot dogs for the big celebration. Papa got a Chicago Cubs bench for his patio! It was perfect! Here are the boys posing for a picture on the new bench.

Then on June 7 we continued the birthday celebration by going to the new Africa exhibit at the Peoria Zoo. We were going to have a picnic before but the rainy weather took us to Pizza Hut. Everyone had lots of fun at the zoo! Jordan's favorite animal was the Mandrill! Sammy's favorite animal was the Rhinoceros. We will post pics from the zoo soon!

Welcome to the Blog

Welcome to our blog! Grandma Nancy & Mimi want to share all the fun we have with Jordan & Sammy! Jordan is 12 and just finished 6th grade! He is enjoying his summer helping with VBS, riding his John Deere Tractor, mowing, volunteering at the Library once a week helping younger kids read and just plain having fun. Sammy is 2 and is always on the go! He enjoys his days with Grandma Nancy playing outside on the 'Sammy & Grandma' deck, going to the park, riding bikes, watching Mickey and so much more. We hope to update this blog with all the excitement of our summer (and for those of you who follow Marcy's blog... we hope to update it a little more often :)!)
