The greatest joys in life are experienced in happy family relationships... the cultivation of a happy home requires effort and energy, forgiveness and patience, love and endurance and sacrifice, but it is worth all of this and more. -Gordon B. Hinkley

Happy B-DAY Sam!


Seriously, have you ever seen a more beautiful baby boy?!!??






Lets be honest, this is what Sam looked like for at least 75% of his life between the ages of 1-4 years!! Crying.
The other 25% was this face, just thinking up the trouble he could cause!!





And this face is why he survived his first 5 years!!


I took this picture at 6 am on his 5th b-day. It is the first present he opened (thanks Auntie Ang) and none of the others mattered!!






His rice-krispies cake.

"I'm really thinking about my wish mom." When I told him to smile.

Oh Sweet Sam!! Some of us wondered if you would make it until your 5th birthday!:) But look at you now!! So smart and sweet and FUN and you can melt a heart so quickly with your hug. "I love you so much mommy" I hear those words 10 times a day. You have won the hearts of all who know you. All it takes is a look into those BIG, beautiful eyes of yours and I see a piece of heaven!
And now you are going to kindergarten and boy are you ready! I love you so much!
