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

Sam

On April 27th, Sam turned 8! That is a very special birthday around here. Most importantly, it means he will be baptized (June 1st) and he has been so excited about that. 
 
Here he is at his spring concert, that handsome devil!
 
Turning 8 also means you get to have your first birthday party where friends are invited.  Sam was super excited about this as well.  He mostly wanted to invite every person he has ever met, but we narrowed it down to a few friends from church. 
 
This little cutie was the first person on his invite list... Katie Valentine.  Sam's future wife if he has any say in it!



The gang.
 
Happy Birthday you sweet sweet boy!
