Last year Maxwell did Jump Rope for Heart at school, this year it was Dance for Heart! Michael Jackson style!

Susan and the kids and I went to watch and it was fun. Samantha loved it…

Spence wasn’t quite as impressed! ha!

We all even got to participate in the different dance stations…




A good time was had by all!


Dance dance dance!

Like last year, Maxwell’s art was selected to be displayed up at the library for the month! They do a nice little reception and we all enjoyed getting to celebrate our artist…

He was pretty proud and we were proud of him!


He also entered the school art contest again this year. I’ll be honest, he wasn’t super motivated to do it and, frankly, I didn’t blame him after what happened last year. Still, he’s a great artist so I “encouraged” him to make something to enter.

I thought his two pieces were fantastic – they both took a lot of time and thought and were creative.

Unfortunately, the judge didn’t agree. Oh well, you win some, you lose some. (and you get disqualified for some! ha!)
I’m still proud of my super creative, master drawer Maxwell and will always think he’s a winner despite what any silly judge says!

These two are like peas in a pod!


And GJ gave Samantha her favorite gift – a new mermaid purse full of treasures like a Little Mermaid key chain with key, sunglasses, chap stick (yay!), and a mini iPhone, iPad, and “pooter”! She even had to take them to her party with her..

The phone, iPad, and computer were actually for her baby dolls but she’s been using them to get a lot of important work done!

Love her and GJ too!
We celebrated Samantha’s 3rd party last weekend with a party at the place where she does dance. It wasn’t just any party though, it was a mermaid party!

The whole thing was about as cute as it gets. The girls in tutus, the Little Mermaid music playing on the piano, Samantha twirling and twirling and twirling! It was all of my little girl dreams…ummm, I mean Samantha’s little girl dreams come true! 🙂





All of her favorite people came…



Including 9 other little girls and a few big brothers who proved to be very well behaved and helpful, especially with the parachute!



The girls danced and galloped and skipped and jumped and hopped and walked on their tippy toes!









I had one very happy little birthday girl!

Especially when it was time for cake!




Happy birthday Samantha!!


What a perfect way to celebrate our sweet 3 year old!!

We love you Samantha!
