Happy Birthday Sammy boy!

September 23, 2004 Samuel was born. My baby boy is 5 years old now!

What do I like about this little guy? He's tender hearted, imaginative, sweet to his little sister, a great sleeper, and very adaptable. Being the oldest, he's been through many moves, living arrangements, gone through many primary's, homes and cities. He was a perfect traveler while we lived in France.

He's a tall and skinny guy, like his maternal grandpa and his daddy. He loves to play the Wii, fishing with Papa, looking at the Thomas the tank engine advertisement everywhere he goes, becoming less of a picky eater and loves his family! I love you little guy!!

Here are some highlights from his birthday celebrations. You can see a full description and more photos on my shop blog here.

Here are most of the party attendants on their pony ride.

Samuel on the pony. I thought he would be scared. But after a round about the yard with me by his side, he did fine. He even gave the pony a little hug after.

For record keeping sake, I'll mention the gifts he received. And, realistically, his favorite part of having a birthday. He was very nice and let all the others help him open his presents. He received some nice books, plastic animals, a lego car and his favorite, a battery operated Percy train.


From family he received more books :) a sheriff set, a stuffed lizard, and a vintage John Deere tractor. It was his daddy's growing up and is in mint condition. Thanks for holding onto it for all these years Papa S from Colorado!

Happy Birthday Samuel!
