Sarah & Samantha’s First day of Mothers Day Out!

The girls are loving school..just not liking the whole “car line” drop off.  They do NOT like when i drive up and they have to go with a different stranger every time.  :<(

Here are a few pics from the big day!  I sure did miss them the first day they were gone..now i’m finally starting to relax and enjoy my time alone. 

When i picked them up the first day they told me ALL about their day.  It was SOO cute.  Sam told me how she had strawberries and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and ate ALL her food.  Sarah was telling me all about the big red dog book her teacher read to them.  I know they are loving it and meeting tons of new friends. 

They had to hook their lunch bags on to their backpacks..they LOVE their new backpacks and lunch bags…and LOVE eating their own food. 

 

On the way to school in the car…

My Kindergartner…

Hannah is officially a kindergartner.   I don’t know where the time has gone!    It seems like just yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital!  She’s grown into such a beautiful little girl.  We love her so much! 

Here are some pics of her first day of school.  

She was all dora’d(not sure this is a word)..on her first day of school!  Can you tell she loves DORA?

We walk to school most days and Hannah rides her bike.  As a matter of fact i’ll be posting pics of our first day of teaching Hannah to ride w/o training wheels…she’s getting there!

 

 

Hannah’s classroom at her new school…She is now officially A “SAMPSON STALLION”! 

Computer for Sale..CHEAP!

Well maybe not..but i’m throwing in the towel on this POS!  I’m just  sick of it doing crazy things..SOOO just today i told Paul that’s it…i’m DONE!  THEN, he finally figured out that it was ME, tapping the itsy bitsy very sensitive mouse pad and obviously the computer company knew there would be issues and put a FCN F3  key to shut off the mouse pad since my hands are so close to it when i type.  AND LOW and behold i’ve typed this entire blog without one issue!  GO FIGURE!  FINALLY a REASON for this computer doing crazy things!  CAN I GET A AMEN ON THAT ONE!  LOL!

 

With all that being said…and DONE, i have tons of pics from the past month..

A Few pics from Hannah’s Birthday..but i’ll do an entire post on that next..NOW, that my computer works!  LOL!!

Happy Birthday TO HANNAH!  5 year olds are AWESOME!  Such a happy big girl!  I’m not sure what’s going on with Sarah’s face in the above pic…i think she was happy and screaming or smiling for the camera! 

Hannah loves her new cross James Avery ring…and she wears it for special occasions and keeps it on my ring holder..she loves being a big girl and having big girl stuff!  :>)

The Downtown Aquarium

We decided to make the drive into Houston on Sunday after working in the front yard for a few hours.   The girls were soo good the entire time we were working we thought they really deserved a fun treat.  They are definitely at that age where they really enjoyed the aquarium, fish, sharks, and rides!  We had a blast..and hope to go back in the fall sometime…or maybe next time we’ll make it all the way to Kemah, to that Aquarium! 

 

Hannah posing in front of the fish

We requested a table right in front of the big fish tank in the middle of the dining room..for some crazy reason they normally sit us in the back and it annoys me since we have 3 kids that can’t see when they sit us back that far…this time was great…the tank was right in front of us..FABULOUS!

Mommy & her sweet pies!  All happy and loving the view!  

One more..with Hannah looking!

 

Daddy and his girls..this is a really cute pic of them! 

The Shark exhibit is on a train that goes under this cool water way….the sharks are above you! 

Trying out my night vision i never use on my camera…COOL!

On the ferris wheeel that goes above the freeway right beside the restaurant..AWESOME! 

I forgot the name of this guy hanging upside down as we were walking into the aquarium!

Their FAVORITE part…running in the splash pad after all the exhibits!  We didn’t take any clothes for them..so we bought some cute little shirts and just changed them after they were done playing..nothing like a t-shirt and diaper!

I was getting drinks when they first walked up…Paul said they were all a little hesitant at first…wondering if they’d get in trouble for playing in the water in their clothes..SOO FUNNY!  But after a while they were loving the water! 

My Gold Medal Swimmers…

 

T-3 days till my big girls 5th Birthday!!!

I’m soo excited!

Anyway, here are a few videos from last night in the pool…they are loving these new puddle jumpers..and they work wonders for non swimmers.  Who ever made these finally got it right with keeping a childs head above water!

Enjoy..and excuse the voice in the background.  Cheerleader /momma’s voice, was getting annoying to ME!  LOL!  I think you can turn the volume down so all you see is the brave little girls jumping off the top of the HOT TUB..yeah, they are brave little girls.  I think they get that from me!  I’m not scared of much..other than frogs and snakes!  :>) 

ENJOY!

My Hannah is growing up..

My absence of blogging has a lot to do with my computer that is on it's way home from the Doctor! I swear the thing just doesn't work like my old whoopty did. My old one had a major problem with not shutting off at night and turning on and off without me hitting a button..but the KEYS worked. With this new one..the keys just never seem to work the way i want them to work. They do crazy things..it's FUNNY..sometimes!

Anyway, on top of that i've been busy entertaining my three little cutie pies this summer! We've been pretty busy. I think i've been busier than them though! Between play dates, cleaning, cooking, settling into the house, unpacking, painting, revamping the front and back yards..seems like i've lost track of everything else.



BUT, the reason i'm posting today is that my BIG GIRL..is turning FIVE SOON! I can't believe it! FIVE YEARS ago she was almost here...as a matter of fact i THINK today was my actual due date. Yes, 4 days late..she was! In the past five years we've come so far..she's grown into such a little girly girl! She's smart, beautiful, sweet, LOVES HER SISTERS MORE THAN ANYTHING and i couldn't be happier. I need to go back in the next few days and post some pics of my baby..when she WAS a baby..she was tiny, precious, had BLACK CURLY hair..and tons of it. She was beautiful...and the light of our life. I couldn't imgaine my life..without her. If i had to describe her in one word, it'd be ME! She's just like me..just 28 years younger. :>)



Anyway, today starts the count down..of 5 days till her 5th birthday! We have a big exciting bash planned at a local gymnastics place..so i'm sure i'll have tons of pics to add after Saturday. This party has been really hard and stressful to plan this year. I wanted her to have a big bash..lots of friends & family..but it's a bit smaller since we're really in between friends for her. She hasn't really met any of her new friends she'll go to school with out here..and since we're moving on..it's hard to invite her old friends..since we won't see them much anymore AND since we haven't seen them all summer either. SAD i know.



Anyway, with all that being said..let's see if i can find a few good pics of my sweet angel!

This is MY favorite pic of all time..what is more precious than a daddy with her brand new baby!

And then the not so pretty shots..right before i left for the hospital! I tell ya, i was BIG!

In the hospital waiting..not so patiently as i hallucinated about leaving our bags in Vegas...Pauls got some funny stories to tell his kids and grandkids!

Ahh..sleep. I forgot what that was a few times..but she was a very very good baby..she did like to sleep..unlike my younger two!

The Myers' Family..first family photo!

Feeding the Horses down the street..

You wouldn’t believe it, but we are about 1/2 mile away from these beautiful horses.  SOO, we went to feed them some apples today! We didn’t  have any carrots to feed them..but since the girls are on a apple kick right now..we have plenty of apples to feed them! :>) 

OK, goofy mommy face..concentrating while feeding the horses!  LOL!

The girls weren’t as into it as me…they were nervous about the horses biting them!  FUNNY, i KNOW!

Mommy feeding the horses..there were 3 or 4 that were ready to eat out of my hand!

Trying to get my little princesses to feed the horses…didn’t work!

Noah’s Ark – First United Methodist Church-MOMS children Social

We had TOO much fun at my MOMS children Social, Saturday Afternoon! I was a bit worried b/c  it was not until 4:15, which is kinda late and close to dinner time for the girls.  They had a blast and were all worn out but Happy and cordial for dinner!

Me & my brand new mommy Suit..that’s right..i had to go to Target and get a not so revealing suit..since all the suits i have left are from my honeymoon 6 years ago!

MY BIG GIRL, jumping into 11 ft of water off of the diving board!

She is AMAZING and such a good swimmer now..Ms. A would be soo proud!
