Enjoying Fall

we were raking leaves the other day and Samuel had lots of fun "helping" it looked more like scattering to me. :-)

Already talking and driving

Samuel loves the outdoors, especially the dirt part.

1st Birthday

A tradition on my side of the family, you get to lick the beater from the cake on your birthday.

Samuel thoroughly enjoyed all the attention and excitement of his party.


Samuel's party was based on the story of the Very Hungry Caterpillar, I made decorations with egg carton and balloon caterpillars. His cake was also a caterpillar, I saw the idea online and it inspired me to do a caterpillar party.

Yum that cake sure is good!

Summer fun

Thought you would enjoy seeing some pictures of Samuel having fun this summer. One of his favorite activities is playing outside and getting dirty.Look momma I ate some dirt.

Samuel likes to look out the window and watch the happenings outside.

In his cardboard house.

Yes, once in a while amidst all the fun and play he gets tuckered out.

Fun with Aunty Em

Emily came down from Texas to see us while we were there. She and Samuel had a blast together.

Visiting extended family

We had a chance to go and visit Phylis' family over in the Western part of Oklahoma. Every one enjoyed Samuel so much, especially Great Grandma.

Uncle Bob

Samuel enjoyed pushing Grandma around.

Plotting to wake up Uncle Terry

We also had a Miller family get together. This is a picture of the cousins and their families that were there. There are lots more. :-)
