Districts

Sam competed in Level 4 Districts this weekend which was her final meet of the season. There were 8 teams competing in two sessions and Sam was in the afternoon session. The judges were tough and the girls were nervous but the whole team did fabulous! Sam had her highest All Around score yet placing 2nd which was only .3 behind the lead girl who was from another team. Sam's team also won first place which was very exciting for them!

We are so very proud of Samantha's accomplishments this season. She has worked hard and it shows. We should know sometime in April if she'll be moving up to the next level, but I have a good feeling she will be.

Valentine's Day

Sam helped Erin make cucumber hearts to take to school as a healthy treat for her party. They turned out really cute but we were the only ones that followed the healthy treat request! Alex fell in love with a balloon at daycare. It took me awhile to get her to leave.

It's Ok, I Eat Lamb!

New Do

Sam did my hair this morning. Don't I look adorable?

Gymnastics Meets

We have learned that all of the gyms are teeny tiny making them all insanely crowded with Louisville being the only exception. George has been taking Sam to her meets while I take Erin and Alex to swimming. It bums me out to miss meets but it's just not feasible to take everyone. Thankfully George records them so I can watch when they get home! Sam has been improving all season and we are so very proud of her!

Alexandra Turns 1!

We did an Itsy Bitsy Spider theme for Alexandra's first birthday party. The decorations and cupcakes turned out really cute and the kids loved the coloring table and homemade crayons. We were surprised that Alex didn't tear into her cupcake but I think she was thrown off by the singing, the candle and everybody staring at her. Thank you to everyone for coming over and the gifts. With the gift cards we received we were able to get a new car seat and smaller stroller! I'll have to get pictures of her in her new seat and wheels!

Random January

Ogleby

We went to Olgeby the weekend after Christmas and it was a lot less crowded! First we stopped by the zoo to see the indoor laser light show and the outdoor light show which were both fun. We also checked out the train and few animal exhibits inside before driving through the lights. We were only stopped in traffic once when everyone stopped to look at the beautiful deer that was feet from our cars. After seeing the lights, we ate dinner at Bob Evans and then headed home. We may have to start making going after the holiday our new tradition.

Snow!

One Down

Erin lost her first tooth on 12/29/2012. The tooth fairy brought her 2 $1 coins which she was very excited about. Her second tooth came out 2/1/2013!
