First Rangers Game

So one Sunday mid afternoon we decided to take Sam to her first Rangers game. Dan was very excited as he is a HUGE baseball fan. I was excited but also a tad cautious as she was just about to be 3 and still not able to sit still for too terribly long. I think Dan thought he could sit and relax and watch the whole game from the seats...We lasted a whole 30 minutes in our seats before we had to walk around, get ice cream, get her a new hat and check out the kids area. Oh well it was a great first game and it was also very hot....So Alex spent the afternoon with Grandma and Grandpa getting spoiled..

Here we are just having gotten to our seats...Sam enjoyed it for about 30 minutes before she talked us into getting ice cream.

Ice cream with Daddy...

Us leaving after only being there just under 2 hours....

I think we will wait until next summer to try again...

Dress up

Sam has always loved to dress up. She has now found a new favorite game. Playing dress up with Alex. One early Saturday or SUnday morning I was up with the girls letting Dan sleep in and we were playing in the living room and before I knew it Sam had her dress up skirt on with pigtails and she had a skirt all picked out for Alex that she demanded she wear. I think Alex loved it and Sam even let Alex grab at her a little without too much complaint.

Love the ensemble, footie jammies, with bib and pink dress up skirt...Perfection!!

Sam keeping a close eye on Alex to make sure she doesn't try and pull her skirt off...

Mothers Day

So for Mothers day the whole family met over at my parents and my inlaws place for a brunch at the club. It was so nice not to have to cook or clean the house..ahhahaahh

It was not totally peaceful with trying to feed everyone and talk to everyone can be a little overwhelming but getting to see all the moms in our family was super special.

My amazing sister in law Sarah and I with all the girls. We really do have our hands full.

All the moms in the family. What a cute bunch....

Me with my two little Angels Sam and Alex. They are amazing and I am so lucky to able to be their MOMMY..

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.
