Samantha Turns 11

This weekend we celebrated Samanthas Birthday with a "Camp Samantha" Theme. It was as much fun to plan as the party itself. It was a flurry of activities starting at 2 on Saturday. They swam, they had cake, they opened presents we had a food with a mini smore's bar, we had a photo booth, we did crafts, we swam, we watched Justin Beiber, we played glow stick tag and had real Smore's outside on the fire, and then they settled down to watch the new movie "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" with popcorn. I fixed pancakes in the morning and sent them home! We had a great time!  Below are the pictures from the day.  I will be sharing the details and how to on my other blog.  Happy Monday!

Graduation Day!

I made it through this day that snuck up on me. The last 18 years has really flown by and my baby boy is all grown up. It was a very nice ceremony and the party afterward was a lot of family and food. Here are a few pictures from the day.

5th Grade Graduation

Samantha graduated from 5th Grade yesterday, the ceremony was short and sweet. I am relieved my baby girl made it through 5th grade. Today is her last day and GBH, she has been staying there since she was born and Mark from 3 months to 12 years old. What a great group of ladies that work there. I could not have ask for better care for my children. We will miss seeing everyone, but time marches on and kids grow up unfortunately! Here are a few pictures from yesterday.

Megan and Sam have been friends since they were about 5

I know my eyes are closed, but this was the only picture I got of all three of us.

Field Day 2011

The kids at RES had such a great time on Field Day, even though it was extremely hot, we got most of the activities over by 11.  Samantha varied in her partners for the different events.  Here are a few pictures I thought I would share....

May is coming to an end

Sorry for the gap in posts, I have been super busy and for having so much going on, I don't have many pictures to show for it.  These are from a combined party last weekend at my BIL & SIL house.  Sam wasn't there, but I took a sweet picture of her before she left for her event. 


Sam was invited to a dance recital on Sunday

Melissa was finally graduating from her college classes ~ I thought it was cool that her high school grad picture was in the background
