Time for your checkup!

Samantha had her 6 year checkup yesterday and it was easy breezy! There were no shots and she didn’t have to pee in a cup and she’s finally decided that maybe Nurse Shelly isn’t so bad after all! Miracle! Samantha is happy, healthy, and growing! She is 45.5 inches tall (51st %) and weighs 49.2 lbs (70th%). That’s a growth of 2.5 inches and 5 lbs since last year. Impressive!

Spencer at 6 was 46 inches tall and weighed 49.4 lbs (both 75th to 95th %). Pretty similar to Samantha. MAXWELL AT 6 was 45 and 1/4 inches tall (50-74th%) and 40.4 lbs (50th%).

All three perfectly perfect in their own way!

Opening Day!

It was a sunshiny beautiful day at the ball park for opening day of the season! Woohoo! Both boys played fantastic. Spencer’s team blew out the other team and he had a great hit each time up to bat! Maxwell’s team didn’t take home a win but Maxwell made it to base both times up to bat even if it was off a walk – kid pitch is different!

Both boys also got to score! Can’t beat that!

We sure missed baseball last spring and are so happy to be playing! I think my ballpark baby was even happy to be there and run all around with the siblings.

We also had a special spectator! Even better when Granddaddy is there to watch.

Go Yankees! Go Rays! Let’s play ball!

Samantha has the sweetest group of girls in her class. We are especially thankful to have met the very best neighborhood friend who is also in her class! Love to watch them meet on the sidewalk and walk together into school every day…

They sure do have fun together!

Cookies!

As I mentioned before, Samantha is selling Girl Scout cookies and I’m the Cookie Manager. I really had no idea what the job entailed before I signed up. Well, it’s a big job. Two weeks ago I got to drive out to the Farmer’s Market bright and early on a Saturday to fill my car to the brim with boxes of cookies! Samantha’s troop leader also came and her minivan was filled to the top as well!

I then got to unload them all into our garage (that is currently covered in construction dust!)…

and then sort them into the orders for all 22 girls in our troop. Phew.

We then loaded up all of Samantha’s cookies and made deliveries! Who wouldn’t want too see this cutie bringing cookies to your door?!

We also made a trip to Robert’s office to deliver all of the cookies there. Samantha was really excited about this!

On Saturday we set up a cookie stand in the yard and sold lots of cookies! How could anyone resist this Daisy? Especially with this kind of entertainment! ha!

Samantha has sold a lot of cookies. 387 boxes to be exact! Wow! Cookie sales go through April though which means my Cookie Manager job continues. Still pickup up and sorting boxes and boxes of cookies. If anyone still wants some Thin Mints, we can hook you up!
