At The Car Wash

Oh yeah! To save mommy and daddy some $$$, we are now washing the cars for them. It is awesome! And I am a GREAT car washer!

Goooooo Twinkle Toes!

It's spring soccer season! That's right, this is the our family's first organized team sport experience. Of course, since Abbie is the oldest, she is the one who gets to play. But, I don't mind much. I get to play with my good friend Audrey B, sit in my super cool princess chair, and cheer for the best soccer team ever, the Twinkle Toes!

Abbie's fan club.

Littlest fan.
BFF Anna.
Action!
Cooling off with wipes.
Stay tuned for more Twinkle Toe action. Every Saturday for the next 8 weeks, you know where to find us!

Pre-Summer Fun!

Spring Break

Mommy says spring break really isn't a "break" when you stay at home and have preschoolers. I'm not sure what she means by that, but we don't do much during that week. Everything is crowded. But, one thing we always do is get together with the "gretches and gretch kids"...aka, Mommy's college roommates. There are 13 gretchies now. Look at how much we've grown! Here we are in 2009, when there were only 10 of us.

We also had a little St. Paddy's day lunch at Matt's with Parker and Cooper. Isn't mexican food Irish? Check it out, S is getting really good at sitting in a restaurant high chair!

We Tried

Mommy really wants us to take a bath together. All 3 of us. Noni got Samantha this really cool bath seat. It sure is slippery, though, so S is having a little trouble sitting up straight. Here is our first attempt at sister bathtime.

And we will never pass up an opportunity for a silly bath picture.

TA DA!

Here she is...Samantha Joy...SIX months old! Mommy said 6 months is a big deal. Half a year old; eating real food; sleeping like a rock star; sitting like a big girl. Here are some other neat things about my little sister right now.

BIG! She weighs 19 1/2 pounds and is 28 1/2 inches long. Her head is also on the "upper" end of the spectrum. But mommy said that is typical for a Glaze girl. Must mean we have really big brain power!

Bumbo. The greatest baby seat invention ever.
Sweet sister is too big for her baby seat. 1 inch and 1 pound away from exceeding the limit. We will have a post about that soon. But this is probably going to be her last picture in this seat. Which is really sad, because mommy won't be able to bring her in like this when she is napping.
Excersaucer. She LOVES this thing. Mommy loves it too.
Bows. She really knows how to rock the cute head accessories.

Oh No!

I just remembered that we have not taken Samantha's 6 month "lovey in the green chair" picture!!! And she is already 6 1/2 months old! I will tell mommy to get right on that tomorrow!

BTW, did you know I was Samantha's age when I first started blogging??? You can read my first post here. I have grown up sooooo much:).

Cute, Aren't We?

Pink Pony Tails

Did you know that some ponies have them? And bright turquoise blue, too. And glitter. I am so glad God gave ponies different colored tails.

Here we are at Western Day at pre school. Claiming the Pink Tailed Pony for our pony ride. She was the best pony.

Oh, and don't mind the ankle length jeans. I get Abbie's old clothes, whether they really fit me or not. But aren't my braids super cute?

AG

What??? You don't know what AG stands for??? American Girl, silly! And we are ALL about AG lately, at our house. Santa brought Felicity for Abbie and Bitty twins, Kylie and Melanie, for me. To say we love our AG would be an understatement. Mommy decided we needed a trip the AG store, where Felicity, Melanie, and Kylie too center stage. Here are a few pics of our

adventure.

Fancy drinks are a necessity at the AG store.

Bitty Twins having a bitty snack before lunch.
Felicity, getting a $20.00 hair style in the salon.
All done. Money well spent. No way could Mommy have made a pony tail halo.
And I can always make the littlest sister crack up. She has so much fun with us!
American Girl Store. You need to go.

Hungry Baby

We have one hungry baby at our house! Mom said it was good to let babies try a new food 3 times before moving on to another food...but Samantha is HUNGRY...and super advanced:). So we have gone through quite an assortment of fruits and veggies. She definitely wins the prize for being the healthiest eater at our house!

Sweet Potatoes (for babies):

peel 2 sweet potatoes and cut into 1 inch cubes

boil, uncovered until super soft

place in food processor bowl

puree away!!! add a little water from the pot to make them smoother for your baby

Samantha LOVES sweet potatoes! And these nifty little freezer containers are from Right Start. Aunt Erin taught us another cool trick for freezing baby food. Just fill up and ice cube tray, freeze, then pop them out into a gallon freezer bag.
