4th of July

We had a pretty relaxing 4th. We hung out most of the day, but we did go outside and light off some fireworks for Samantha. She seemed a little confused, but she liked the lights.

Samantha's 1st Birthday Party

We had a great time ay Sammy's party. A lot of people showed up despite the 103 degree temps. It's nice to know that so many people love her. I can't believe a whole year has gone by. They grow so fast. I'm so looking forward to this next year. We'll get to see her walk,

and hear her talk.

Yummy, yummy cake!!!! Next year I'll try to get her a nap first. Maybe she will smile.
Swimming. That was fun.
Such a pretty cake....
Mandie wanted to swim too..

Getting ready for Samantha's party

We finally got a picture with her Uncle Mike. Woo Hoo!!!! Uncle Mike and Grandpa puting up some shade. Boy did we need it.

We picked the hottest day of the month to do this party.

Sometimes I think we're not very smart.

The boys

This is the usual reaction when I say I'm taking pictures.

Isn't he sweet? At least he tries to smileThey wore out Grandma. Both she and Nate zonked out
Oh what will he say when he see's this picture posted.

She will sleep anywhere.

Our little sleeping beauty Just couldn't hold my head up any longer
I'm not sure how she ended up on my head

Playing ball with my brothers

It's sometimes really hard to believe that I have 2 teenage boys. Samantha loves them.
