Happy 1st Birthday Sam!

Sam celebrated her 1st birthday on August 2nd. It is amazing how fast the past year has flown by! We had a luau themed party for her on her actual birthday. Family and a few friends came over to help us celebrate.

Sam's turn for a bounce. It amazed us- before Sam could walk, or even really stand on a firm surface, she could stand up on the trampoline & bounce. They were little bounces, but still she could balance and bounce without anything to hold onto. Cake time! It all started out OK, but what is supposed to be so much fun quickly turned to tears. Sam hates to be dirty so when Daddy stuck her hands in the cake, she cried!

She finally ate her cake when Mommy fed it to her with a spoon (what fun is that?!?)

Earlier that day... Alexis was with the King's while Mommy & Daddy got ready for the party. She got to go see the Blue Angels air show. It was a hot day-

Waving goodbye to the airplanes. I don't think she was the biggest fan of how close they came or how loud they were. She still talks about "airplanes right over me head. Too loud."
