Halloween Week

We had a family activity of carving pumpkins on Wednesday. Benji lasted about 5 minutes with the pumpkin and Albert 7. I am dumbfounded that I have boys in my family who don't like to get dirty! The one pumpkin is supposed to be a kid in his bed scared of an eye looking through the window...but it didn't quite turn out.
we also went to a trunk or treat on Thursday. On Saturday we plan on crashing Pleasant Ridge ward's Trunk or treat also.
In other news Sammy rolled over today. I got my video camera and tried to film him doing it again but by that time he had no interest in performing again.

Sammy eats baby food and other tid bits of the week

This week Sammy had his first try at eating baby food. It was bananas. He doesn't open his mouth as wide and anxious as Benji did, but he still liked it.
We are also really excited to be going to Bolivia soon. we leave on Nov. 6 and will be back on the 21st. Had I known when I bought the tickets that New Moon would be out on the 20th I would have made the reservations for a week earlier. And right now I am fighting terribly hard to control my desire to see it on the 22nd, which is a Sunday.
I also received a letter this week from one of my baptisms from El Salvador. He has been on his mission for 8 months now and is a District Leader and Trainer. When I got the letter and read it I couldn't help but to cry.

My B-day and We have a baby Girl!!!!

Thursday was my birthday and Benji and Albert surprised me with Breakfast in bed and Roses. Even though it was at 7 am I still loved it. Then I packed up the boys and met my mom at the zoo where she gave me my birthday present of a zoo membership for the whole year for our family. We all love the zoo so much it was a great present. To top off my b-day Albert took me to Salsaritas to eat.
The Angola family would now like to welcome our newest member of the family......Samba, our 6 week old German Shephard baby girl. Benji went through varios names like Gabby Angola, girl, and finally got to Samba.....which is also his favorite kind of dance.

Life goes on

I know I have been far to delinquent in my blog. but I think a good blog includes pictures and I just bought a connecter for my memory card to the computer so now you all will get to see pictures again.
