Twins????

We think Ian and Nick might actually be twins separated at birth. They act just alike - totally silly, crazy, insane, and sometimes a little annoying!! We love them, though, and enjoy watching their friendship grow sillier and crazier by the day!!

The skiing trip gone bad...

Chad, Mitchell, and Nick went skiing with Uncle Don and Aunt Kris this weekend. Unfortunately, they ended up in the ER because Mitchell broke his wrist. Poor Mitchell!!

One Year...And What A Year It's Been!!

January 28th marks the one year anniversary of all of us moving into one house, and the Blooms and Summers starting their lives together. We've had some rough times learning to all live as a family (2 adults, 4 kids, a dog, a cat, plus 2 ex-spouses and lots of extended family - WOW), but overall there has been lots of laughter, fun, and love. We are looking forward to making many more happy memories! Here are a few fun photos taken over the past year...

Snow!!!

Finally, we got some snow this winter!! Mitchell, Ian, and Samantha made a "hill" in the front yard to slide down. It wasn't very big but it was tons of fun!!

Eleven years old!

Happy Birthday, Nick!

Mac, before and after...

Notice the sweater in the "after" photo...that was Samantha's choice... Poor Mac!!

A Tea Party

Samantha got a tea set for Christmas and often has "tea" with her friends!

Very cute faces...

Here are two very sweet faces - two of my favorite boys!
