Happy 6 years!

Today.

I can't believe my "baby" is 6 years old today! I think I am in shock. I've been a parent for 6 years! He's already 6 years old?

Samuel has grown a lot in these years. Obviously. People tend to do this.

Samuel can still be a sweetheart. He is smart. He can focus well. He is a helpful big brother, especially with Cecily. He is sensitive. He can also get angry. He loves the typical boy things like guns, fighting, etc. It worries me sometimes, as does the potty talk. But I suppose this is normal? He loves kindergarten and doesn't talk about his girlfriend Cadence as often. Although he remembers exactly what she wore on the first day of school. Oh ya, great memory too. He has a vivid imagination, loves the wii, pbskids, and watching Tyler play computer games.

Samuel has taught me a lot about being a mother. More than I ever thought I would learn by this age. Thank you Sammy boy, I love you!

For my own sentiment, I want to take a trip down memory lane.

Okay, so I am totally making a goofy face and wearing makeup for the first time in weeks, but I love how is looking at me. I don't think he does that anymore. I miss that.

First BYU football game. I think he was about 6 weeks old.

I see a lot of Cecily in this photo with expression and hair. Um, ya, I let his hair grow out way too long before I cut it the first time.

You digging Tyler's hair? Ya, he didn't want me to cut the whole time we were there. Lol. I won't let it go that long again.

2007. I hope they call him on a mission.

Typical. 2007.
