Reagan just finished up her year of ballet, tap and gymnastics.  She LOVED it!  Here's some pictures from her last day of class.

School is out for the summer!!

Hannah just finished up kindergarten yesterday!  She is so pumped to go to first grade!   We surprised all the bus stop kids with popsicles, water balloons and silly string as they got off the bus on the last day.  Now for summer fun!!!  The girls are both doing swim team this year and practice started a couple weeks ago.  Both are loving it so far.  We are looking forward to no alarm clocks, no packing lunches, letting the girls wear whatever they want, lots of swimming, playing and outings!  Bring on the summer!!!

Mother's day makes me so very thankful for these three little kiddos that made me a mommy.  

Hannah and her good buddy, Sam, who teamed up for kindergarten field day.  

Hannah is pretty much a master hula-hooper these days!

Ben's First Birthday

 Ben is 1!  So hard to believe.  He is getting so big!  We just had a little family party on his birthday with some party hats, some singing and some cake.  He was not a fan of the cake.  He is not walking quite yet but crawling very fast and standing up.  He loves bath time and eating and is a great sleeper.  He loves to snuggle and is such a happy little guy.  He just got his first two little teeth!  Love this sweet baby so much and can't imagine our lives without him!

That's Sam with his resignation letter!  He is now self-employed!  He has been working so hard and we are so proud of him and very glad to have him home more!!

Easter

Here's some sweet pics from Easter.  See those pretty dress?  I made them!  

Anastasia State Park Camping Trip!

Back in April, for spring break, our little family went on another camping trip.  This time in St. Augustine, Florida at Anastasia State Park.  It was wonderful!  Camping right near the beach in a great historic town!  Grandma and Papa Sampson met us there and we all shared a campsite.  They were in their camper and we were in our tent.  We learned a lot from our first camping outing and made some changes this time including cots for everyone and more sleeping bags!  We slept very comfortably this time!  We spent one day checking out the sights in St. Augustine and another day at the beach and then we left and made a quick stop at my parents house for a visit and then on to Andrew and Jackie's house to meet our new little nephew, Dylan!

Olaf

For a short time this was our cat....

 He found our family and decided he wanted to live with us.  He and Reagan quickly became the best of friends.  The girls named him Olaf.  Sadly, after a few weeks of Reagan having a constant runny nose and sore throat she was allergy tested and turns out she has a cat allergy.  It was fun while it lasted, but Olaf had to find a new home.  He sure is missed!
