Happy weekend

January 31, 2018

Samantha sure did have a happy day on Saturday – her 3rd birthday – and the celebrations continued all weekend long! The day stared with lots of  balloons and a pink doughnut with candles…

She even got to go to Maxwell’s basketball game! ha!

She got to pick lunch (Chick-Fil-A) and we all enjoyed her fantastic mermaid cake!

That night there were presents including lots of new pjs and a car seat of her baby doll!

and maybe a little more cake for the birthday girl! 🙂

The next day everyone got to go to Disney on Ice to continue the celebrations! I think it was a hit…especially the popcorn, cotton candy, and sno-cones they got to have!

Samantha was cracking me up during the show. When the witch from Snow White came out Samantha said “Why is her grandma so mad??”. When the skaters would spin she’d say “Whoa! He’s getting dizzy!” When Ariel and Sebastian came out without Flounder she was VERY concerned and I probably heard “Where IS FLOUNDER?!” about 10 times! Frozen was definitely her favorite part but, again, she was very concerned that Sven was not there! She also kept saying that she thought we were going to be skating…ha! Maybe another time baby girl!

A wonderful celebration for a wonderful 3 year old!

See you tomorrow!

THREE!

January 29, 2018

Samantha is a THREE year old! As she will clearly tell you, she is not a baby. She is a big girl! The sweetest, most precious, precocious, friendly big girl! She keeps us on our toes, makes us laugh, and also makes us want to pull our hair out. 😉 Oh, I love her so.

From this precious baby girl (born on her due date at 1:04pm)…

Oh, how boring our lives would be without this ray of sunshine! She loves her baby dolls, her brothers (though she clearly knows her power and will refuse their hugs just to make them mad! ha!), her momma (clear favorite here! it’s wonderful and exhausting), her Baa-Baa, her bed, and mermaids! She’s a great sleeper, a good eater, and a happy kid. She loves going to school to play with her buddies but I think her favorite days are dance and gymnastics days! She’s athletic and coordinated and has no problem keeping up with her big brothers. We still call her Toots, or Tootie, or Baby, or Squishy…or Samantha. She says breakiful for breakable and pooter for computer. She’s flat out ADORABLE.

This one has an opinion! Oh yes! She is strong-willed but also sugar sweet. Personality coming out of her ears! Life is going to be an adventure with this one.

Rolllllll Tide!!

January 25, 2018

How about a little belated Roll Tide! We all enjoyed the totally crazy, totally stressful, but ultimately awesome National Championship game! Even though Robert had a ticket to go to the game in Atlanta, he chose to stay home and watch it with his favorite Bama fans (work might have played a role in that decision too but, we’ll just pretend he wanted to watch it with us!). Our cheerleader was ready…

and so were our football players!

Robert totally enjoys all the distractions when he watches the game! 🙂

The first half of the game didn’t go as we hoped and, by the second half we were upstairs feeling pretty low. But, the 4th quarter turned things around! Maxwell tried to hard to make it to the end but he couldn’t quite last…

Spencer did though! He was jumping up and down with me and Robert when they scored that overtime touchdown! He was pretty excited to wear his jersey to school the next morning…

It was a fun night! 17! Roll Tide!
