Grrr... Internet

We have been having our usual trouble with our internet service this past week. We are currently looking into new providers. Hopefully, we will have these issues permenantly fixed before too long!

We've had a very busy weekend. First off, we made more yams for Sam. He just adores these treats, and we are very happy to keep providing them for him. They taste good too! Sam has been rather upset to see his Mom snacking out of his bag of treats! We would like to thank our good friends Charlie and Sugar for supplying these recipes!

Here is Sam waiting for the yams to be done. He couldn't believe it when we told him they would have to stay in the oven for almost ten hours. He decided to watch the clock to make sure we don't forget them!


Monday was my birthday, so Sam, Aaron and I headed out to the Gilbert Riparian Institute to take a walk and watch the ducks. We had a wonderful day!

Sam really enjoyed himself. Here he is checking one of the decorative walls.


Many different varieties of ducks call the preserve home. We are wondering what this one is...


Sam found the water rather relaxing. He meditated for a long time in this spot. I wonder what he is thinking?


We are trying to get our internet up as quickly as we can! We miss visiting all of our friends and try to look at as many blogs as possible when it is up. Please be patient a little longer!

  1. Sam looks quite sporty with that watch on. We wonder what he was thinking about too, probably how much he misses Cisco. Hope you can solve your internet problems.

  8. We fight internet problems all of the time. WE live too far out for cable or DSL, and we tried satellite for a while. We are now just using Verizon laptop cards.

  15. Sam,
    Funny that your mom's making yam for you...mom bought us these new treats and they are called Sam's Yam! You can have your Sam's Yam and we'll have our Sam's Yam. Trying saying Sam's Yam 3 times fast...
    Anywho, we hope you'll get your internet problems solve soon.

    Oh, well, it was her birthday, after all. I guess you should share. A little.

  24. When Sam was meditating by the river we think he was wondering if his snacks were ready to come out of the oven yet☺
