Samuel's 4-Year-Old Pictures

We decided to take Samuel's 4-year-old pictures ourselves this year because we actually have quite the pretty backdrop behind our house -- Samuel got to sit up on our back fence for this, and he thought it was awesome! And his picture turned out pretty cute too! :)
These are just some fun pictures of past birthday memories for him (1st, 2nd, & 3rd)... What a cutie growing up into such a handsome little man! We don't know what we would do without our Samuel always making us laugh in this house! He's such a fun little guy! :)

Samuel's 4th Birthday!

Well, we just can't believe our Samuel is 4 years old now!! Our little Valentine boy! We had a fun day celebrating his 4th birthday this past week on Valentine's Day, including our little break for church, of course, where he was very excited to be sung to in Primary! :).

Samuel got his first remote-control vehicle for his birthday this year -- which he calls his "monster truck" now, and he just has a blast playing with it oustide and being chased by it when Dad is driving... :)


Samuel picked a sailboat cake this year! They just love getting to pick their cakes and helping to decorate them...

The day ended with a "sleepover," as the kids called it -- which consisted of sleeping together downstairs in their little tent that we set up! Everything is so exciting and fun when you're a kid! :)

Bowling Party!

Samuel wanted to go bowling this year for his birthday, so we all went together as a family the Saturday night before. These guys have such a blast being able to bowl by themselves with the ramps and bumper pads that are provided. Brielle & Samuel would get so excited whenever they knocked any pins down. Colette didn't care in the least about that -- only the color of her ball mattered! :) And Timothy just loved watching all the excitement! It ended up being a really fun evening together!

February - Our Month

Well, we definitely have February covered with birthdays and our anniversary and all that... I had my 28th birthday at the beginning of this month, and Jared and I celebrated our 7th Anniversary as well. Both fun evenings at home together as a family - nothing we love to do better! And what a wonderful 7 years of marriage it has been so far!! We're always so excited to see what new adventures life will hold for us! :)

(Brielle is our little photographer these days! She loves to take pictures for us!) :)
