First pedicure

So for Mothers Day weekend I really wanted to get out and relax and have a pedicure. Well I said something about getting my toe nails painted in front of Sam as I was getting my shoes on and she went to put her shoes on to go to. And I was not getting out that door without her. So I took her with me and she did great. She sat on my lap as she was unsure of the whole chair and put your feet in water thing but once we did it she told me next time she wants her own chair. I have created a monster. So now we both paint our toenails at home as if I went without her she would be devastated and well that is a lot of money to have us both get our nails done. hehehe

here are a few pictures from the salon.

Baby Food has arrived

Alex is working her way up the baby food stages....here are a few pictures from that experience.

Alex turned 7 months old

In April Alex turned 7 months old.

I decided to use our Easter dresses for her 7 month pictures.

She is getting so big and way more interactive.

Love those smiles!!!!

Happy Birthday Sweet Girl....

Easter

So I am yet again still trying to catch up on posts...my company for about 2 months took away access to lots of websites...So I could no longer write my posts at night and load them during lunch....but it appears we can now access our blogs again so I am going to hurry and load as much as possible..hehehe

For Easter we had the whole family over for brunch. It was a lot of fun to get the girls dressed up and they love to see their cousins..

The girls got up that morning and dove right into their Easter baskets.. Alex loved the confetti's stuff especially. And yes I had an Easter basket with her name done for Alex too just like Sam's.

Sam is dressed and ready for everyone (AKA cousins Aly and Kendall) to get there. She loves to play with her cousins.

All the cousins posing for a picture. Of course that is much easier said then done.

And a family picture...yeah.....

New backyard toy

So we had our backyard done in the Spring (I know I still have my before and after pictures to put into a post) and Grandma and GRandpa wanted to get us an outdoor toy for the girls to play with. So they decided on a basketball goal. It has been a huge hit.

Sam and Dan were playing a friendly game.

Then Alex decided it was her turn and she just dunked it and then held onto the rim..HAHAHAHAH

Dance recital pictures

So we had Dance recital pictures and right now Sam is way hit or miss on whether she will cooperate on getting her picture taken so had no idea how these would turn out. We went with Sophie (one of Sam's besties from school) and her mom Kathryn to get the pictures taken. They turned out super cute so will have to scan them in.

Here is the one from my camera.

Aly's 4th Birthday

So April is Aly's birthday. She had her 4th birthday party and Sam had a blast. I think Sam's favorite place is Pump it up and it showed. She loved running aroudn with Aly and bouncing like crazy. Heck Aly even talked Papa John (my Dad) into going down one of the slides. Really struck us as funny. Not sure why. So cute.

Here is Sam and Dan coming out of one of the obstacle courses. They had so much fun.

Sam popping up at the top of the slide at the end of the obstacle course.



Sam and Dan coming down the slide together.



Erik and Aly coming down the slide.

Papa John and Alex and Uncle Steve (to my girls but PiPier to Erik's girls) with Kendall. Cute pic!


Dan got tired so it was my turn to do the obstacle courses with Sam. It was exhausting.


Me with Aly and Sam. What a great party. Thanks for having us to your 4th birthday Aly!!
