Water baby

All my kids have liked their baths, but Carter absolutely LOVES his bath time.  He doesn't talk, but when he hears me say bath he crawls up the stairs and into the bathroom.  He makes such a mess of the bathroom splashing.  Samantha and Ryan think it is sooo funny!

Samantha turns 7!

Samantha turned 7 on the second and we had a small party for her at home on her birthday.  Then on the 10th she had a friend party at our house.  I originally wanted to find a place to have the party, but somehow it ended up at the house.  We had 10 girls come (half church friends and half school friends).  It was wild!!  We played hot potato, guess how many candies are in the jar, pop the balloon race (apparently I didn't blow the balloons up enough because it seemed difficult for the girls to pop them), did the limbo and played freeze dance.  The rest of the time was filled with running around and screaming.  It was a lot of fun, but exhausting.

This was taken during our family party.  Ryan was so excited to give her the gift he picked out.

Doing the limbo to the song "girls just want to have fun"

Dancing

I always make the cake and Tinkerbell was the theme, so I just bought a Tinkerbell candle and added flowers and "grass"

The entire group
Samantha has such a great group of friends and she gets really sad when we talk about moving in June.  Hopefully she'll find some fun girls on Ohio.
