Samuel's 9th birthday

 Samuel's Birthday is always an adventure! It's July 15th so there are many things to do! This year he wanted strawberry and whipped cream on top of pancakes for breakfast. Then for his treat he wanted an ice cream sundae party! We had a real menchies for his birthday! He loved it and I think everyone else did too!

So many people love Samuel!

 We also went out to Winking Lizard for wings and pizza~ He loves this place! Then Bowling! We loved that we had a purple ball that kept on winning! The lucky purp!

He received many wonderful gifts. But the message on the back of this  ninjago pen is that we will go to Cedar Point when Jake and Michelle get home! To him this was the Best present Ever. He LOVES Cedar point and  would like to Design a roller coaster for them someday!

Fun times at the Lake, The Zoo, and The 4Th of July!

 We love to come down and play at the Lake! It brings us happiness to be close to water!

 Samuel loves to create new coasters!

 We went to the zoo to celebrate Alyse's second birthday! It was a fun time. We did have some challenges though. It down poured and I was pushing Jay in a  wheel chair. It definitely made a great memory!

 He still loves the dinosaurs!

 Fireworks at crocker park. We went to the top of a parking garge to watch fireworks with Jason and Bonnie and the boys. We had the best view ever but it took us a LONG time to get down!
