He's back on TV

It's Rhea Lana season again, so Samuel had the opportunity to show off some of the great bargains we can get him.  

He was in a quick spot on FOX16 one morning.





And of Saturday Daybreak



He was also on Channel 4, but those pictures aren't cooperating. :-( 

He was so well behaved and looked absolutely precious every time he was on camera. 

He's in the BIG big boy bed

We are getting the house ready to list with a realtor and are trying to eliminate extra "stuff" around here.  

One of the extra things is Samuel's toddler bed.  His feet were 3 inches from the end of the bed, so we decided it was time to move on up to the full size bed in his room.  

He wasn't sure about it until we put the Toy Story bedding on.  He thought that was cool enough to go for it. 






Now, some of his toys that have been all over the house have room!  

Hooray!

Birthday Cupcakes at School




Remote Control Helicopter

MawMaw and PawPaw got Samuel a remote control helicopter.  Samuel had a great time learning how to make it fly.  


Here it goes....

Higher...

and higher...

Whoa!!! That is so high!!

This is a toy that requires Daddy's presence. When that tiny little helicopter starts its descent/fall, Mommy doesn't have the skills necessary to catch it.

Happy 4th Birthday!!!

We took Samuel to Chuck E Cheese on his birthday. We went early and avoided the crowds.  There were very few people there, so it was quite nice.  Samuel had a great time.  













After we got home, he opened his presents from us.



And had some cake.


Happy Birthday sweet boy!  We love you so much and pray that we can continue helping you grow and learn how to be the kind hearted boy you are supposed to be.  We just know that God is going to use your strong personality for His kingdom someday.

Post Party Playtime

After the party, we spent the evening opening his new toys and playing with all of them.  

Skull Rock

New remote control truck

Disc shooters-24 fun little foam discs to clean up.  :-)

Maddie is not a fan of the shooter.  At. All.

But she loves her brother.

PlayDoh toys.  We've never had playdoh before.  Samuel has played with these almost every day.

And his new easel.



Yo Ho! Let's Go!! 4th Birthday Party

We celebrated Samuel's birthday this year with a Jake and the Neverland Pirates party! 

We went to Parkway Place Baptist Church in their playplace.  It was so fun.  


Samuel was really reluctant to play at first. His cousins, Kensley and Emily, sort of tricked him into the jungle gym and when he realized that he was playing and having fun, he came to the entrance and proclaimed, "Mommy, I'm not afraid anymore!!!!"


 Happy Birthday to you!!


This is the first year that present opening has gone smoothly.  He loved opening them!



 His guests.  We missed a few people because we were all playing so much.
