just hanging around

just hanging around.....not doing too much besides a few birthday preparations this week and watching lots of tennis. (way to go Tyler winning the Bonita Bay open doubles tournament!)

this is the last week my little samantha is two.....i am emotional thinking back to her birth and to her babyhood and how its slipping away but very very excited about my independent, growing, smart almost three year old who i am so proud of. can't wait to see what this year will bring.

went on a walk with mommy pushing baby kinsley and sammy pushing her babies...as you can see she's a very busy mommy

stroller parking at a theme park....oh wait thats our garage. he he

she has always LOVEd shoes and has an opinion about which ones to wear...guess she couldn't decide this day

one of baby kinsley's favorite spots to relax

talk about relaxing.......

hanging out outside with sammy's grammy.....

my little monkey.....

first cereals....baby kinsley eats oatmeal for the first time



she lets out the best laughs and saves the loudest ones for her sister....


the first couple of time she wasn't really a big fan but she stuck with it.....

she would make this shiver-sour-gonna gag- face almost every time she swallowed. hehe

happy 2nd birthday rylan!

my first time making toy story cupcakes....

the birthday boy.....my handsome little nephew

taking a try at the pinata

oh how samantha loves her cousin!

ps. between all the fun "hanging out" memories this past week we have also spent these last few days riding a mini roller coaster....not sure if it's the birthday countdown and extra excitement or a weird growth spurt or just an off week but samantha has had some major meltdowns. we have gone few and far between times like this and man is it frustrating for all of us. i'm sure when she turns three on friday it will all magically be different right? hehehehe. yeah right. wish i could keep my eyes open to type this into a funny story to remember.....

here's to lots of happy birthday wishes and to soaking in every moment with my two/three year old and her sweet baby sister. yesssss!
