Sam's first trip to the zoo!

On Memorial Day, I took my Mom and Dad to Southwick Zoo!

Mommy kept forgetting things, and it took forever to get out of the driveway! But once we got there it was well worth it!


Daddy and I enjoyed looking at the baboons. They had funny looking bottoms!


We took a little break from the animals, so that I could take a swing


and play in the sand


When I get a little bigger, I'm going to bring my folks back so I can ride this pony! Or maybe the camel! Or maybe even the elephant!


I can see a bigger turtle than this from my driveway (our new neighbor has a tortoise just like this)


There were so many monkeys!


I liked the big cats! They are even bigger than Norman


The zoo was exhausting! Can we go back soon?

Sam meets the Easter Bunny

We went to an Easter Party at the Elks! It was great. I had so much fun being around other little kids, and my big cousins Kate and Sarah were there to "show me the ropes".

I wasn't too sure waht to think about the Easter Bunny at first



But he turned out to be alright




I helped Daddy run around at the Easter Egg hunt



Nana got me a cupcake!

Dedication

Last Sunday, March 1st, Sam was dedicated at church. It was a double dedication. Can you believe that the other baby's name was Samuel also? Sam got all decked out for the occasion. Unfortunately, Church happens to take place during Sam's nap time. He skipped his nap on the day, which is why his cheeks are so red. No, he is not wearing rouge. The pictures in the church didn't turn out to well, but below are some pictures we took afterwards.

1st birthday

Here are pictures of my first birthday party. We had the party at Nana & Papa's house. We had lots of different food for dinner. My favorite was a three tie between the mac & cheese, meatballs, & pizza.


Cool hats huh!


We played pin the nose on Elmo game. My cousin Leah won!


Hey Papa, lets break in to those presents!


Mom told me I should read the card before opening a present


Cool, a new truck! and it makes lots of noises!


Look! new books!


I got lots of books and clothes. Do you like my cool Celts gear? Can you believe a laker fan gave these to me!


I love my books!


Elmo cake!


I'm not shy, I grabbed that cake and stuffed my mouth with it!


must have more cake.


what a mess


After the party was over and I got cleaned up. I rode home on my new horse.


Thank you to everyone for all the food for the party and all the wonderful presents.
