My Little Sam is 1 !!!







I can't believe my little boy is one today. Has it really been a year since he was born? The year has flown by but I have cherished every moment of it. Maybe because he is my third and I am not so eager for him to reach each new milestone but savor him for where he is now. He is a sweet and snugly little boy with eyes that just make you want to give him lots of kisses, and I so happily oblige. We celebrated his birthday this past weekend. It was just family, but as you all know with my family we will celebrate anything, and yes, it will be an all day thing. Josh stayed up late making is wonderful brisket and chicken. He loves his new smoker and loves to cook for people. Grammy and Grandaddy ( Josh's mom and step-dad) came into town for the weekend as well, another reason to celebrate!! Everyone came over around 2 and everyone loved Josh's brisket and chicken. Those that made it to the celebration where the Gonzales Family (ALL of them!!), the Turmans (minus Luke :o( ) , my mom, Nita and Geary, my dad and my brother Lloyd.

I made Sam's cake and some cupcakes. The cupcakes turned out yummy, but my cake, well it was a sad little cake. Not sure what happened but it was kind of flat. O well, it tasted good and it was all gone in no time. Maya did the decorating, she did a wonderful job. I wrote Happy Birthday Sam on there and Maya made little snakes everywhere around the cake. Each snake had a different story, one was a cold snake, another a warm snake, another a dead snake, there were snakes everywhere. Then there was one small lady bug that turned out to be a rather big ladybug after the sprinkles. It was definitely a cake made out of love.

Sam received some wonderful gifts and will look absolutely adorable in some new outfits. The kids had a blast playing outside in the sprinkler and playing with their water guns. I had a also had a great time playing with the water guns, not sure who I really got those for, the kids or me! Yesterday we spent the day with Nita and Geary. We had a yummy breakfast and then went to the Parade of Homes. We saw 6 houses that ranged from $2- $4 million bucks! They were huge and beautiful. Some I liked more than others but each had something about them I liked. Josh and I kept thinking.. if we had this house think of the parties we would have! I told you, we will celebrate anything!

Maya is with my mom this week in Abilene, so my house is a little quieter today. I miss seeing her sweet little smile and hearing her precious voice. She is having a blast with her cousins and I am sure they are doting on her making her feel like a princess.

Happy Birthday my little Sam, mommy loves you!
