The Farmer

As the first spring begins here at our new house, it's time to get the ground cleared for a garden. 

With 4 boys in the house, 5 including daddy, you'd think one of them would be on the tractor digging out the stumps, but no...

...it's EMILY!!

Samuel's 8th Birthday

Like most 8 year old boys Samuel (spurred on by big brother Jack) is into Legos, more specifically Star Wars Legos.  I have never seen the movies in their entirety (I know, shame on me) but I can tell you most of the story and know most of the characters just from the boys and these lego sets!

 (For any of you cake decorators out there, the Darth Vader mold cake was one of the easiest cakes I've made because it only involves making one color of icing!!)

Samuel seems to enjoy life as an 8 year old.  He just finished up a season of Upward Basketball at a local church, and is now starting his first season of kid pitch baseball.  At school he is in 2nd grade and loves all of school but mostly gym, recess, and reading (typical kid I guess)!  

When he is at home though you will find him in the yard playing a round of frisbee golf.  The kid can sling a frisbee two times as far as I can and is out there all day long!  So all you Black Rock Frisbee Golfers, you'd better be practicing because Sam is ready to go!

Happy Birthday Samuel!!  We sure love you!!
