Play On

This past Saturday me, my mom, my friend Kristi, her daughter Hailey and her niece Molly went to see Carrie Underwood. and her Play On tour. That girl can sing. I saw her on the American Idol tour after she won and a few years ago in Nashville and at the CMA Festival in Nashville but nothing like it was Saturday. It was a great concert and I am so glad we could go - even though we were in the nose bleed section - up againist the wall in the very top. Let me tell you it was trip getting down - especially b/c I am scared of heights.


Hailey , me and Molly getting ready for the concert to start


After a wardrobe change she came out in the back of this chevy which lifted up over the crowd and around the arena. It was so cool!



The back of the truck- instead of Chevy it says Carrie!

Yes I Know

I am a horrible blogger and since I am using this as sort of a memoir baby book (since I am so good at filling out the acutally non computer baby book). But I have a few excuses to offer as a defense for my recent behavior

First off we took time to go to the beach a few weeks ago while the weather was nice and not as hot as it is now. Needless to say after Sam warmed up to the sand it was a great hit and hope to get back soon if they can keep the oil away...

During this trip it was where Sam got her first bug bite and needless to say we learned that

she has what the dr called a hypersensitivity to them and after a day or so gets welts around the bites which we have to use an steriod cream on. Needless to say if she steps 1 foot out of the house she is covered in bug spray!

Also we learned of the new hair styles like above that can be find with using a wash cloth on our hair during a bath. Reading material is a must during all spa/styling procedures (this was taken the night we got back from the beach and the picture was taken a few days later - notice the poor things bug bites have changed drasctically.)

And that is the end of our post for tonight. Good Night and See Ya Soon!

Bubbles!!!!

This past Friday my mom came over and hung out with Sam while I got some house cleaning done. Since the weather was nice and it was cooling down a little mom took Sam out to blow bubbles. This is one of Sam's favorite things and as you can see in the pictures below she is really trying to learn how to blow bubbles herself. Needless to say both she and my mom were both soapy by the time they got done.....




Okay show me what to do first mimi....



first attempt at blowing....



Okay dunk the stick one more time

And blow really hard!

Hello World

Well what a few weeks it has been since I last checked in...
Sam has had the following:
A viral rash- non contagious- thank the lord
An Ear infection that is now on it's second dose of antibiotics!
Pink Eye- thank you mother who kept insisting her child had allergies instead had pink eye, who in turn passed it to everyone in the class! No seriously I feel bad for the boy and in defense of the mom I thought Sam's was allergies at first but also have been told her's wasn't nearly as bad as everyone elses due to the antibiotic we were on for the ear infection.

So here is a montage of things that happened since we last saw you...


Sam's new song- I wear sunglasses at night....


the child is a hat freak! she would also only wear it backwards!



New way to sit lady like on the couch

but it's better than this way

Or trying to use the couch as a trampoline and dance stage

on nice days we played with chalk

and even met a caterpillar

On rainy days we painted our toe nails

Have a great weekend!

A Hit!

I have so many pictures to upload and so so many blogs to write - but no time. Here is a quick one to tell you guys about what is all the Rage in our House:

First of we sing along to Taylor Swift- The one that gets the most cheers and dancing is her song "You Belong To Me" Sam is so cute cheering for it when it comes on and ends!

The world fades away when these two characters are spotted in a store or are on tv:

Abby Cadabby

And

Elmo!

She would literally sit in front of the tv all day if I would let her watching Sesame Street!

As it is she walks around all day calling Abby and Belmo (Elmo) hoping we will put the show or one of the many DVD's we have on. Needless to say we DVR this show religously.

Last and most important of all Sam loves Babies! She always has a baby in tow and if she sees one she has to hold it or at least touch a baby when we see a real live one in person. She points them out in books, on tv - anywhere she sees one. She is a great little mother to all her babies!

Have a good weekend!

Easter

Here are a few pictures from Easter

Reading one of her books


Loving on her Duck


What's Next?!

Finally feeding the Easter Bunny!

Big Weekend

This past weekend we joined our friends Kristi, Hailey and Sadie at a Easter Egg Hunt at Moody Park. Unfortunately there were more kids than eggs but we still had a lot of fun!

While Sadie got her face painted

Hailey helped me keep track of Sam who decided to explore

After the hunt we headed to the playground

Sam loved watching all the kids


and swinging

Next we headed to the slides

Which was another big hit!

Sunday we headed over to see my grandmother and the lobby of the nursing home was decorated - Ready for Easter

Here Sam is checking out a bunny playing hide n seek

But the best think of all was the bunny sitting on the couch

She loved on it forever and I am sure wanted to take it home with her!

After exploring my grandmother's floor we found this cool

Flamingo that Sam loved. We were having teething issues

and this seemed to help cheer her up till the orajel could take effect.

Hope everyone has a safe and happy Easter!
