Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
The day is almost here! Maxwell drew out his “party plan”…
We went to Party City for all sort of supplies…
Costumes have been purchased…
Pinatas have been filled…
The patio has been cleaned…
We’re ready for a fantastic birthday party to celebrate our favorite 6 year old!! Woohoo!
Have a fun weekend – we sure will!
Happy Monday and happy February! Today just a few more from Samantha’s “official” one year photos!
That sweet face, those kissable cheeks, that happy smile. She’s the best.
We celebrated Samantha’s birthday last weekend with a little party, just the 5 of us! There were balloons, presents, and cupcakes from Olexa’s! Perfect!
This picture cracks me up because they were looking up to see…
silly Dad! 🙂
Everyone loves a party hat!
We were all excited to celebrate our favorite baby girl!
After lunch, we opened presents! Well, Maxwell and Spencer opened presents. They’re such helpful brothers! 🙂
Baby was loving all the help and all the attention!
After that, it was time for the main event! Cake and a pink candle!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday Baby Mantha!
Happy birthday to you!
Make a wish! (and I love love love this photo!)
Then grabby hands 1 and 2 went in for the steal!
Samantha got a perfectly pink strawberry cupcake for herself!
And she had no trouble getting that thing into her mouth!
Ohhh….so good! 🙂
Smash it in! Yum!
The boys were loving how much she was loving the cupcake!
and they were loving their own chocolate cupcakes!
It was the perfect little celebration for my perfect little girl!
Happy Birthday Samantha!
Now, back to the cake! 🙂
See you tomorrow!
My sweet, lovable, huggable, kissable, perfectly plump, squeezable, bundle of love is ONE!!!!!!!
1 year ago today – on her due date! – at 1:04pm, this little piece of perfection joined our family.
Now she is a giggly, happy ONE year old!
I didn’t let myself comprehend how much I wanted her. I didn’t know how much our family needed her. Now I can’t imagine how we ever lived without her. She’s the last piece of our little family puzzle and we’re now a full and joyful picture!!
I relive the day she was born a lot and it still makes me want to tear up. I still sometimes can’t believe that I have a baby GIRL!! Dream come true.

Like I said one year ago, “it seems the sun is shining a little brighter, the birds are singing a little louder, and all is right in the world! Or maybe it’s just me and the high I’m still on from this sweet baby girl! ” One year later and I’m still on that high! I love this baby girl more than I thought possible.
Happy, happy first birthday Baby Mantha. Here’s to many, many more wonderful birthdays ahead! We love you!!
Now, go on, wish my sweet baby girl a Happy Birthday! 🙂 It’s a GREAT day to be ONE!
It’s a special Sunday post for a very special person!
Happy Birthday Daddo!!
Sending you wishes for a sunny Florida day and all the chocolate you can eat! We love you!!
