I am 1

Before church on my birthday


I can clap, crawl like the speed of lighting, entertain myself for hours reading books, comb my hair (or at least I think I am..Mom is still trying to get a picture of this one), eat almost everything but peanuts. I am learning to communicate with mom and dad, I can say da da, ma ma, and I sign please, thank you, I love you, kisses, sleep, eat, all done, play, music, book, prayers.

Here are some pictures from my birthday!!

Sorry it is kind of long, guess Grant didn't want anyone to feel like they missed a minute of her birthday. This is Sam opening presents.

Here I am playing on or with my toys

Thanks Grandma & Grandpa Gardner


Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Arthur



Thanks Great Grandma and Grandpa Hurst


Here I am eating my cake


Now you were here with us for Sam's birthday.

My new favorite face of the Sammie

Who can resist this face

Randoms of Sammie (mostly park pictures)

Getting her first ride in on her wheeler


Doesn't she look like a pro?



Yeah for swings!!


Sammie right before church.


She turns one on Sunday the 19th. I can't believe a year has already passed.

Sam this week

This is how we found her sleeping yesterday morning. She seems to think it is comfortable to sleep like a stink bug with her boonie (man my spelling has sure become deceased with spell check) in the air.
