Sams day

Happy Birthday to my little bugga!! Sam is growing up so fast! We had a choo choo party for him last night! Which he has been so excited for!
His invites!

Railroad crossing sugar cookies. Those were an experiment with a new pan, not as cute as I planned. Oh well

The cake...actually so easy to make! This was the most stress free party I have planned yet!

I am most proud of the smoke, pretty creative huh? Sam woke up that morning as I was finishing it and said "wow a biga one! I wanna ride it!"

The start of the candy buffet....I just added some railroad crossing cut outs to lunch bags. So easy, gotta love the cricket!

Party favors....Train whistles. We made sure we sent the kids home full of sugar and making lots of noise!! Thats how we roll!!!Taking a nap before it was time to party!
Blowing out his candles!
We got Sam a train table this year! I actually found the table at th DI for $10 and it is in perfect condition! Woo Hoo!! All we had to do was clean it and buy a track! so instead of $150 dollars we spent $50!! He didnt even know the difference! Look at him grit those teeth! Gotta get those presents open!!!So excited for new toys!!His 2 favorite things in one gift?! Optimus Prime and Potato Head!! Thanks Bebbie!Sam with his Aunt Bebbie...Uncle Daren wrestling with the boys...The loot....Spoiled rotten, all his favorite things!!Sam in his new jammies that nana bud (my mom) got him. They say chicks dig scars and have bandaids all over them! So perfect for him!!!

We hope you had a great party baby! We love you lots bugga boo!

Ward Summer Fun

Our ward had a summer water party, which was so fun! Every picture I have, I get the head tilt and cheese! Playing in the pool , Sam is crazy about pools! He loves the water!

It is so fun to be in the same ward as Ben and Alexis! Isn't Avery darling in her shades?Sam went down the water slide when we first got there all by himself, then Brogan got there and the decided to go together! Here is Sam trying to give him a little push because he was a little nervous to go down......
Brogan couldn't bring himself to go down, so Sam sat right next to him! Way to be a little wingman!!The line was getting a little backed up so Ben had to climb up there to the rescue!

This picture is hilarious! Way to save the day Ben!

Don't Mess With Texas!

The end of June, Clint and I decided to take a little trip to Texas to visit the Nance's. We arrived on a Friday morning and then left on Sunday, so it was a quick trip. We had lots of fun and it was great seeing them! Here are some of our adventures..........Sam and Kobe playing in the sink after Kobe showed him how he goes potty!Coy....He looks so grown up in this picture!Friday night we went to Kemah boardwalk for some entertainment, food and fireworks! This guy was juggling fire! Clint, Doug and the boys watching the boats sail out.My boys! They look real happy huh?!We ate this aquarium restraunt. It was a fun atmosphere and really good food!!Sam loved watching all the sharks and fish! They had all kinds of games to play on the boardwalk too! Sam loved fishing and refused to let us help! I do it he says!FFinally he got his fish and won a nemo!Kobe and Sam showing me their prizes! Then we feed the hungary cat fish! There were so many of them!!See how crazy they were? Sam thought it was so cool!We then watched some great fireworks over the water! They played patriotic music too! Something about being in Texas makes ya feel more patriotic! I guess in the summer they do fireworks at the boardwalk every Friday night! Playing on big Doug!Saturday we went to Galveston. We went on a boat to watch the dolphins and here where we loaded on was this pillar that they have marked with how high the water level was after a hurricane. The blue tape mark is how hight the last one was! Crazy!The Nance's...(sorry had to steal some pictures Susan)Best picture I could get of the dolphins. Sam thought they were sharks though....Cheese!! We then headed to the beach!! It was such a perfect day to go too! LOVED IT!!Sam was a maniac in the water, until something pinched/bit him in the water then he was done.The crab that Kobe grabbed out of the water.

Coy was just a little dazed on his way home! We were all a little spent!

It was such a fun fast weekend! Thank you for letting us come and hang out with you guys!
