Happy 6th Birthday, Samson!!!

Love that smile!
Sam started his day off with a gift from Daddy really (although Ron said it was from US, i like that it was from him). He found a crossbow compound bow and arrows geared toward kids. We explained very clearly to Sam that this was to be done ONLY while Daddy is around, and he got it. In fact, it gets put out of childs' reach. I'll have to get video of him shooting arrows!

Ron surprised Sam with a kid crossbow! Now we needa target!
(Nothing like recycling MY birthday signs!)
This year was the first year that we celebrated Sam's birthday with a "bonafide" party with some of Sam's friends. I completely winged it, considering the late date in planning. But thanks to some awesome friends with kids who are buddies with Sam, awesome family and the magic of going to a play center on a WEEKDAY evening (read: The whole place to ourselves!), we had a great little party. Lots of sweating, laughter, jumping, bumping, running, snacks, candles, cake, juice, Spongebob...

"So I sez to her, i sez, 'Sweetie, you pick out ANYTHING, money means NUTHIN' to me!'"

"Duuuuude... great paaarrty *burp*"

Life's good.

Sam, you're growing up fast, my friend. We're savoring every day as best as we can...

  1. Funny pics and captions! One thing, though-that's a "compound" bow... crossbows are the ones held like a gun. <3

  2. Oooh COMPOUND bow. I'm quite sure Ron said that and I messed up the name. Thank you. And next time, don't be a stranger! :-)
