First Grade...Here We Come!

Today was Kindergarten Graduation!!  Sammy is done with Kindergarten and ready to move on to First Grade (most days)!  She is a little nervous about being in school all day but she will do great and I am sure she will love it.  We are going to miss her teacher, the FABULOUS Mrs. O'Leary!  We have LOVED her!!  She is the best kindergarten teacher in the world.

The schools do these really cool certificates and pictures for promotion.  I was very impressed

Curly Hair

Sammy slept in sponge rollers for the first time.  Her first reaction after I brushed her hair this morning, "I look retarded!"  After I pulled up the front she thought it was cool and she has been very proud of her curly hair! 

New Pictures

It has been a year since we had professional pictures taken of the kids!!  We finally made it to JCPenney Portraits a week ago to have pictures taken.  I think I jinxed myself because I took Sammy every month during the first year...I took Andrea every 3-6 months...Josh has 3--TOTAL!!  OOPS! :)

One Step Down...

We found out last week that the bank accepted the offer on our house!!  This means our house is almost sold!!!  We are so excited to finally be done with the process.  I am ready to sign on the dotted line and no longer be a homeowner in Las Vegas.  Now, we just have to figure out where to live next (we are still going to be in Las Vegas...we are just going to be renting)!

"The Best Birthday Party Ever"

Family Presents

Andrea has wanted the Eva doll at Target since right after Christmas.  We would have to go say hi to Eva every time we went to Target.  Right before Easter, Eva disappeared at Target and Andrea was crushed.  She cried because Eva was gone and she wouldn't be able to get her (little did she know that I was the one who bought her and Eva was on a shelf in the garage)!!  A month ago, Eva reappeared on the shelf at Target.  Andrea was in heaven.  She was so excited to open Eva and play with her.  Eva has gone everywhere with Andrea today!

Andrea LOVES Jessie from Toy Story.  She has wanted a Jessie hat for awhile and was happy to finally have one!

I think most people know that Andrea's favorite princess is Snow White.  When I saw this Snow White dress for dolls on the Disney Store website I knew I had to have it!  Andrea loved it!!

All dressed up waiting for the party to start!

The Cake

I think I might have gone a little overboard on Andrea's cake this year.  I have never made her an elaborate cake so I thought it was time to make her the perfect cake (as perfect as I can make it!).  I was introduced to these amazing things called cake pops and decided that little apples would look very cute around the cake.  Let me just say that they are not easy to make and have them look like perfect little apples.  After my first one failed, I was able to send an SOS out to my amazing friend Brooks and she was able to make these cute little "poison apples" as Sammy calls them.

Apple Cake Balls

We had poison apple cupcakes at the party.
