Do good.

Either the bug barfed....

Or the bug pooped...

or....Sammy had a blowout.

I got on here to post more than just adorable pictures of Sam. (I know, I know, I'm a little in love with this snuggle bug.) But I also wanted to post a video that I watched this morning. I've watched it before, but it's such a good reminder to do good and to be good. And to remember that we don't always know what struggles people are facing. So be nice. And be good. Just be good. Cause being good is awesome. This video never gets old. I love listening to the voice of President Gordon B. Hinckley. Click here to watch.

I was walking through the store (I was actually leaving the store because I'm the kind of shopper who B-lines it to whatever I need and gets the heck outa dodge as fast as possible.) (after I pay for whatever I needed, of course!) and saw this wood sign. I liked it so much I stopped and took a picture of it. (It was an expensive piece of decorated wood....40 bucks...so I just took a picture of it and continued on my run-like-walk out of the store). But it's got a good message.

Yep, it sure is a good day. :)

My mom sent me a Chick-Fil-A cow when I was in college as a way to remember home. It was lost (or given to DI) in one of my moves or escapades of cleaning. She asks me about it every now and again and I feel bad for having departed with it. So I went to chick-fil-A and got another mini-cow. I think of home quite often even without a cow, but it's fun to have as a reminder of my mom's love for me.

Now, Daily Dose of Sammy Jo:

 She has slept from 11:00 pm-8:00 am the last few nights! And I walk in her room and she's just laying there with a smile of content. I love it.

She holds her head up so well! My baby is growing up so fast!

One last story: Anneka got her tooth knocked loose in her basketball game. Years ago my dad wrestled in high school. He got his tooth knocked loose but managed to push it back into place and forgot about. Years later (just a few years ago) it fell out while he was eating toast. (I'm sure there's more to the story but that's the part I know.) Dad was trying to console Anneka as she shed a few tears over her crooked tooth and said, "What's the worse that can happen....you'll look like me when you get older..". I wasn't there, but apparently his words of comfort led to more tears without much consoling effect. :) Thanks to our trusty Dr. Beck her tooth is straight again.

She's beautiful even with a crooked tooth.
