I LOVE my little Samuel so much! I cannot
believe he is already five! It really has gone by fast! In order to celebrate him here are some of his favorite things.
Samuel loves Star Wars, I try to ignore this fact, but it is true. He believes that he is a
Jedi master and that he is the best light saber fighter. He believes this because he went to
Jedi camp at Disney Land. He fought Darth Vader and won! This was such a cool experience for him. Can you imagine loving star wars and then getting to go to a camp for
Jedi's. He thought he was in heaven! I would not try to fight him though- he is
only five but he WILL hurt you! At least he believes that he is a good
Jedi and he wants to fight the bad people. I should be happy about that right?!
Samuel LOVES his BA, Ba-be. This is his
special blue cozy blanket that isn't allowed out of his bed. It has soft
bumbs on it. He calls them his cozy
Cheerios's. At night when we tuck him in it's part
of our routine to have to "Feel how soft
BA is mom, don't you just love
BA!" He
tries to touch my face with his
special blanket. He makes a soft home for his "Happy turtle" in his
ba. It is amazing how much love comes out of this boy! His turtle is also a favorite because it laughs when you push his belly-hence the name. He is also blue-Samuel's favorite color. It is also a favorite because he love to laugh! He loves to laugh and to make people laugh. It is
definitely one of his talents. His laugh his so infectious!
Samuel Loves water and he loves swimming. He could go to the pool every day and he would just think he was in heaven! He took swimming lessons last year and again this year. They were every day for about a month. This was so much fun!
He also loves his uncles! He talks about them all the time. He asks me questions about them about them all the time as well. What do you think they would do, mom? Or, Do they like this? Or, Would they eat this? Watch out boys he's watching your every move! He wants to be just like them. He talks about how big he's going to be when he's older. He can't wait-but I can! Uncle Jake is pretty special right now because he is on a mission in Samuel's favorite place-California! We will definately have to go see him when he's done with his mission! Which leads me to the next thing-
Samuel is a beach King. Some would say he's a flesh god. He never wants to wear a shirt and he LOVES flip flops. The world is bad when he can't wear his flip flops. You would not believe how fast he can run wearing them. He loves to be outside. Every day in the summer looks like this! Although he tries in the winter as well by saying-" I'm just so hot mom!" This little boy has so much spunk and personality-it is a joy to be his mother. It's a wonder to me that he can be so wild and then if he sees that something is wrong with me, he runs over and says "I love you mom" and gives me a quick kiss on the cheek. He is very in tune to people's feelings. We love you Samuel and are so glad you are in our family!
The Spectators
The back stroke
I'm ready to race!
Jenna joined the Mills Creek Swim Team this summer. She had practice 4 days a week all summer long. She had so much fun! She is sitting here with her friend and neighbor, Katie Justinani. It was really neat for her to be on this team because Uncle Jake and Uncle Dave had swam on this team. She swam back stroke, free style and relays. She really did well and loved competing! We all so proud of her hard work and dedication. She has become an excellent swimmer. We also appreciated all of the spectators who endured the length of the meets!
