I love Sammy!

I love my little brother so much. He is always happy and laughing and super smiley. We play together all the time, and I love to do what he does. We roll around on the floor and laugh. Check us out.

We love pictures!

Sammy and I were in the mood to pose for pictures this day. My mommy DIGS Sammy in a button down shirt. You can see why !

My Daddy's Roses

I wanted to show you my daddy's rose garden. As you can see, its pretty unbelieveable. We are so lucky to have such beautiful flowers for the house and we also take Mosby roses and lillies almost everyday.

Our Swingset

Mommy and Daddy found a Rainbow swingset used in Maryland. Daddy and Pop pop and Robbie and Travis went to get it, disassembled it and put it back together at our house. It is amazing. Its huge and has a slide, swings, a trapeze, and a two story playhouse. Sammy and I play on it EVERY day with Miss Kendall. She took these pictures. We especially LOVE TO SWING!!!
Here I am on my trapeze: Me and Sammy in the baby swing.

My Pony!

Belle has settled well into our family. She was very shy at first and it took a while (almost a month!) for her and Will to become friends since he missed Mosby so much. But now they are good buds and keep each other company in the pasture. Belle is still as sweet as always, but now her personality has come out a bit more. She is a VERY good pony in the cross ties and very trustworthy when I ride her. I visit her almost everyday and I ask about her all the time. I love her so much and I always want to ride her, pet her, brush her and feed her treats. I ride every weekend. Check out my riding boots! Here is my daddy giving her a kiss...

Happy 4th of July!

Hi everyone. We are sorry that we have gotten so very far behind in our posts. We have had a lot going on lately. As most of you know, our family suffered the very sad loss of my daddy's horse Mosby two weeks ago. It has been hard for us to talk about it, but we will post a tribute to him shortly. On a positive note, we also have the very exciting news of having added a new family member- my new pony Belle. I am totally into her, and we'll post pictures of that as well. We also got a great new (used) rainbow swingset we want to show everyone on the blog because Sammy and I LOVE to swing. Last weekend, I had a bunch of cousins visit who I'd never met and we had so much fun. Bia took me into Washington DC with them during the week and I even spent the night away from home in a hotel with Bia! Then my grandpa & mimi were in town this weekend with my mommy's uncle John, aunt Lynne and cousin Andrew. Our nanny Miss Kendall has been with us for over a month now and she is the BEST! Sammy is SIX months already (can you believe it?). He is sitting up, rolling all over the place, trying to crawl and even started swimming lessons with me last night. And now, we are starting to get VERY excited about going to Michigan in a few weeks. It will be Sammy's very first time to Burt Lake and Green Lake! So, please check the blog often over the next couple of days because we are going to catch you all up on all of our Stolley family escapades.

We hope you had a VERY happy 4th of July! We had planned to see the fireworks at our local park, but Sammy and I didn't make it staying up that late. Mommy and Daddy had their friends Marcy and Chris over and we all had a great meal, but we kids started melting at 8:00 so we went to bed. It didn't really feel like the 4th anyway since we weren't in Michigan. Oh well, there's always next year!
