Sams first Parade

So this past weekend was Country Days here in town. Its basically a parade and then a small street fair. We decided to take the girls to check it out.

Waiting for the parade to start




The cool hat one of the floats passed out



Sadie was totally oblivious to the noise. And it was LOUD. The firetrucks and police sirens freaked Sam out a little



Sam loved watching the kids dance




This picture just cracks me up. I swear- she DID have fun. :)





And since I am posting, I might as well throw in some random pictures from the week!

Sam kept telling me she didnt need a nap. 10 min later this is how I found her



And she got some new shoes this week (thanks Nana!) and she was very excited to wear her new pink shoes to school. She wanted me to take a picture of her, and then Emma decided she wanted to be in the picture too!





And it is actually raining here today so Sam thought her rainboots were the perfect shoe. She loves these boots and tries to wear them everyday... so today I finally let her!





My cuties

The Aquarium

My friend Kim and I decided to take the girls, Sam and Emma, to the Aquarium of the Pacific yesterday to get them out of the house, and for something fun. Kim is going to be having a baby in the next few weeks, so she wanted to do some fun things like this before the baby comes.

The girls had a great time running around the place. I must say, neither one was all that into the fish, but it was still a nice day. And trying to get a picture of the two of them looking at me= impossible. LOL. So this is all I got!

Walking in when we first got there







This is what they were standing in front of- its HUGE

Still Getting Crafty

It has been sooooo long since I had a post about anything crafty! I thought I would share the gifts I made for a couple friends' baby showers this weekend. My friends Kim and Kristin are both having little girls. Kims older daughter Emma is Sams BFF, so I am sure her new baby Ava and Sadie will be BFFs too! And Kims sister Kristin is having a little girl named Olivia. Her son Zack turned one in June. She will have her hands full!

Here are a couple diaper wreaths I made for them. Its a little different than the typical diaper cake. I think they turned out ok! The flowers are baby socks, and there are also washcloths tied on there, and a few travel size baby products and one teether. And all the diapers can be taken off and used :)











I made them each a bow holder with some baby headbands and clippies to go with it.

This is for baby Ava







And this is for baby Olivia





Then I also made wipe cases for each of them







So I have still been doing some crafty things. But its pretty hard when Sadie doesnt want me to put her down all day! :)

And I could not have a post without pictures of my girls. Here you go!

4 Weeks Old

I am having a REALLY hard time coming to grips with the fact that my baby is already 4 weeks old! Where did the time go?? I feel like it was just yesterday I was going to the hospital to have her, and now she is a month old already! Crazy. It has been a fun month though. Sleepless nights, but worth every one of them. This little girl has added so much to our family. She is such a special gift.

Here is my 4 week old baby this morning







This one makes me giggle- out loud! :) Love it- she is sticking her tongue out AND flipping me off. hahaha! I think she was over having her picture taken! :)



And of course- the proud big sister







My mom and I took Sam up to the mall today and let her ride the train and get a Jamba Juice.



On the train





Playing





And Sadie through it all....




The girls had matching outfits on the other day and Sam thought this was just the coolest thing ever. The next day, she brought me the outfits out of the hamper and told me they wanted to wear them again. LOL!



Just hanging out



all passed out :)
