Sam is ONE!

The big day came and went and it's almost a month later that I am getting around to posting about it. Sam turned the ripe old age of ONE on March 27th! We kept the festivities fairly simple. I made him a cake, put up streamers on his bedroom door and some decorations over his eating corner. He noticed the decorations and quite enjoyed them. We enjoyed a special play date for him and a pinata. We sang him happy birthday and let him dive into the cake. He swear that he knew it was his special day - he was so happy and photogenic all day!







It took some coaxing for him to open his presents - he wasn't very interested. He just loved all the attention!




He was rather timid with the cake. He didn't like the icing on his hands, apparently too messy for him. He fed it to Justin, but once he hit the cake part he was all for it.



He ate all that! We were sure he would have a tummy ache.
I can't believe our baby is growing up so fast! It's crazy to look back and see the changes. I soak in every hug he gives me, because I feel like someday too soon they will not be as freely given. I love this little guy so much!

Happy Birthday SAM! WE LOVE YOU!


He received a birthday card from Grandma Della  in the mail and lots of fun gifts from other family when we celebrated it in Utah. His Uncle Jacob Jon Barfuss also returned from his two year mission on his birthday, which made it even more special!

Cal & Wyatt sure livened up the party!



Yes, Sam had the birthday song sung to him three times and a chance to eat cake three times! What a spoiled little guy! We didn't take any pictures at the Schmidts, but he had a party with them as well. Thank you to our family and friends who helped make his birthday extra special!

Engineering Lab vs. Hawaii

It's Friday night of Spring Break and we are sitting in the Engineering lab ...... Justin watching March Madness and me blogging.  Some people may think it's a little on the boring side, but I have to say we are both quite enjoying ourselves.  As Spring Break approached we were under the impression that we just might be welcoming our baby boy sooner than later. On March 6th, I was dilated to a 2 and 70% effaced..... the Dr said he could be here in 2-3 days or 2 weeks. Justin and I had a couple of sleepless nights after hearing this. Jumping at any sign of labor -- makes me laugh now.  The days have passed by with few contractions and no real progress. I have to say my emotions have been all over. At times I so want to be done being pregnant and have this little boy in my arms and then the next minute I am soaking up the time Justin and I have left to easily (well 9 months pregnant easily) hop on the motorcycle for a ride up town. After reading, learning, and practi

Happy Halloween

Thanks to the Schmidt pumpkin patch  I have several cute little pumpkins I've always wanted and thanks to the Daniels party for the cute carved pumpkins that really set the Halloween tone! The Schmidt Sisters!  October 23rd we had the annual Grandpa Jess Birthday Party get together! I felt like it had been forever since the Daniels family had been together.  Not enough catching up happened for me, but it was sure fun to be around family and carve pumpkins. It helped me start to get into the Halloween spirit. Bummer that I did not take pictures at the party. But these pumpkins made me smile each day I saw them on our porch. Halloween was so much fun when you were a kid, but as I have aged the holiday has lost it's excitement. For Halloween this year we happened to be in Salt Lake with the Schmidts. Justin was presenting his IHC idea and I had the day to myself. The Schmidt family gathered at the pumpkin patch for pictures before the night of trick or treating would

Sam screams when we walk away from the swing - He loves swinging! He loves when we peep through the different holes Yes, he is crawling right to the slide, letting himself down head first
