The Jolliff Family

I know it is only May, but it is warm around these parts. Yesterday, we filled our pool up and played in the water. Sam had a blast and was cracking himself up! He poured water on our neighbor's feet, in his hair and anywhere else he could. It's going to be a fun, wet summer:) Happy Hot Tuesday

Oh how I LOVE the white onesie. Babies looks so cute it in, especially their diaper bootie:) I get kinda sad when my boys grow out of their white onesies. Means they are growing up, and this little guy well, he's almost grown out of his biggest white onesie! Enjoy Andrew in his onesie, one last time!!

On Thursday, Sam loaded up with Hap and headed to the farm for a visit. He is all things boy, so the farm is such fun!! We heard he helped feed the cows with his own bucket, ride the mule, help Papa fix some tractors, and play with his cousins. We know he had a great time and we are glad he was able to spend the time with his grandma and papa. Here are some pictures from Jessica that she took over the last few days. Jennifer has some on her blog as well from Friday night at their house! Starting the morning off early with feeding the cows! One of Sam's favorite farm activities. What a great helper with his own bucket!! Apparently Aunt Mindy got in on the action:) Yesterday, Hap, Andrew and I left in the morning to go back to pick Sam up. We were able to watch Hunter and Beau play their last game of soccer. They did great and it was fun to be able to enjoy that with them. We also had a quick visit with Aunt Dru and Melissa as they are in town for a few days. Andrew had never ...

Dear Brother Sam, I sure miss you!! I hope you are having fun on the farm with our grandparents and cousins. I am having fun here with mommy and daddy. Mommy spent lots of time today reading to me. I even was able to get in on the action and read all about Lightening McQueen. I will be ready to watch the movie "Cars" with you when you get back! I have also been able to play with many toys. Mommy hasn't taken one toy away from me nor has she said "No No Andrew" like you tell me! I am fascinated with Elmo. I also like all the toys in your room. Don't worry though, mommy said she would put them up where they belong so you won't know a thing when you get back tomorrow! I have missed you at bath time. I have missed splashing with you in the water. I have missed seeing your smiling face at the breakfast table in the morning. Mommy and daddy aren't nearly as loud in the morning as you are! I have enjoyed a quiet afternoon nap today in mommy...

After everyone left on Saturday, Sam and Andrew had a great time playing with the neighbor girls! Sam really became Grandpa's boy this weekend! My mom reminded me that in a few short months, Andrew will want outside with grandpa too!! While I was putting Andrew down on Saturday night, my dad was reading to Sam and asleep he went!! On Sunday, my dad and Sam had a big day. They saw trains, some loud motorcycles that made Sam's ears "riggerly" (wiggly), and had ice cream. They had a wonderful time together in dad "big red truck." Sam also drove Andrew around, sadly this will be reality before I even realize it:) I also had the chance to go visit Danette and her sweet baby. She was doing great and Quinn is a wonderful daytime sleeper!! We had a great weekend in Salem. Sam is at Hap's parents for a few days and we will pick him up tomorrow in Patoka. I was able to get lots of work done yesterday, in short I got rid of lots of stuff! Andrew is enjoy...

After the run on Saturday, Andrew, Sam and I loaded up the car and headed to Salem for the weekend. Jennifer had flown into St. Louis for Mother's Day and we didn't want to miss the opportunity to see her and the kids. Uncle Ron, Aunt Nancy, Jennifer, Michael and Catherine where awaiting our arrival when we came to Salem. Catherine was so gentle with Andrew! Michael and Sam are so cute together. They could be twins! They had a wonderful time with their grandpa's going to see the Choo Choo trains. They watched the trains, walked around on the tracks, and apparently got up close and personal with them. They had a blast and couldn't stop talking about them when we arrived back at the house. They too played nicely together. I remember being such great friends with Jennifer growing up and it is fun to see our boys playing together. It brings back plenty of memories, but thankfully our boys don't dress up and perform yet:) Here are the four halo heads! We missed the re...
