Christmas Eve

Missed service at church because the little man was under the weather but he perked up when he got to open his new slide.

The greatest gift God has ever given me is this little man, couldn't imagine life without him! Love you Sammy Boy!

Birthday #1

Late posting pictures of Sammy's Birthday party (which was in September). I'm a bad blogger and a bad mommy. I was so busy watching Sammy and making sure the party was going smoothly that I forgot to take pictures of everything.

It was a pirate party with red, black and yellow colors and we had a candy buffet for the adult favors and party bags for the kids with pirate hats, swords, noise makers, pirate bears and ducks and lots of candy (including GIANT lollipops in red and white). I made banners for the candy buffet, fireplace, and front door and had huge perfectly round balloons in red, black and yellow . There were pirate swords and parrots.....

Food consisted of chips, dip, vegetable and fruit trays, amazing cookies in the shape of pirates, treasure chests, ships, treasure maps and 3 different kinds of cupcakes, a pirate ship cake and a beef and chicken fajita buffet.

Ugh I still can't believe I didn't get pictures of everything. Oh well there is always next year, which I'm planning already and it's going to be a circus with bouncy house and all...I've already reserved the park (yes it's going to be big!)

Halloween

Opps! Just a bit late posting these pictures (only 2 months). We never did make it out to trick-or-treat because Sammy fell fast asleep right after these pictures while still wearing his costume. Next year maybe we'll make it out the front door.

Loving his laugh

Pumpkin Patch

Last year Sammy was only a month old in October so we skipped the Pumpkin Patch but this year he's a year old and walking so we bundled him up and hit the Pumpkin Patch and farm!

Sammy was was curious about all the animals and when the piglets escaped their pen he was clapping and pointing at them. My sweet boy is such an animal lover.

I am so amazed at how much my little boy has grown in the last year. I can't believe my little baby is now a toddler who is walking, talking and getting into everything. Oh they weren't lying when they said it goes by fast.

Don't grow up to fast sweet boy!

Sammy is 1
