Happy Birthday Samantha!

April 21 we celebrated Samantha's 2nd birthday, 3 days after my own. Those 2 years went by really fast. When I think back about those 2 years, I have to go back a little farther. I could never forget being pregnant with her. I was on bedrest for 3weeks with toxemia. My 30th birthday was laying on a couch. When she finally came it lasted a whole 1 hour and 45 min. ( 45 minutes longer than Nathan! ) 8 min from the time we arrived at the emergency room until she was born. From then on she was such a good baby. She slept good from the beginning. She had to because Nathan was still getting up every night!
Somethings about Samantha in her 2 short years-
she loves babies and dolls
she loves stealing my lipstick and putting it on- definately a girly girl
she does not like to wrestle with Nathan
she still takes a good long nap!
her favorite words- cute and don't
she has big beautiful eyes
she is a mommy's girl- until daddy comes home
she loves to sit on my lap while I am at the computer
she loves to go outside
her 2 favorite songs she sings are twinkle little star and super trouper by abba
I love my sweet little girl with terrible two symptoms!

So I let everyone know that Nathan has a geographic tongue. He gets weird shapes on his tongue that change depending on what he eats. So I thought I would take a picture to show what it looks like. When I was taking the picture Nathan kept wiggling (what a surprise). So I asked him to hold his tongue still. He kept putting his hand up to hs mouth and after saying it a couple of times I realized what he was doing. He was holding his tongue still! Oh what a character my Nathan!

Cute Pictures

Nathan loves his little brother. He always wants to hold him or be right next to him. When I put Ethan on the floor Nathan always finds a way to be close to him.

Happy Easter!

Here are some Easter pictures. We had an Easter Egg hunt at my mom's house on Saturday. The kids had fun finding the eggs. The Easter Bunny came to our house and brought of course too much candy! Half of it is already gone thank goodness! It was a really nice Easter day.
