Happy 5th Birthday Sam

I really can't believe it - Sam is 5 years old today. On July 14, 2005 at 9:36 a.m. Sam was born- he weighed 6 lbs. 12 oz. and was 20 inches long. He was a very difficult, long 30 hours worth of labor, but when he arrived he was PERFECT - HANDSOME - and such a good baby!) And we've been loving him ever since. We are so happy that Sam was our first, and that he is the big brother of the family. Here are some things that Sam loves:
Movies - he loves to watch shows, current favorites Incredibles, Emperor's New Groove.
He REALLY, really wants a new "Buzz LightYear that has wings" for his b-day (we'll see if he gets it). He informed me that he is going sell the old one to Jack for $100 million. We'll see how shrewd of a business man he is.
He loves to play outside driving the Gator, swinging, swimming, playing Baseball, and exploring the creek.
He still loves to dress up and pretend to be superhero or animal (lately its been a Jaguar).
He loves McDonald's more than life itself - yuck! He also loves brownies and chocolate chip cookies.
He is such a sweet boy and always gives me hugs and kisses. He really loves Lyv and is a very good protector of her. He also has started to taken a better liking to Jack - and tries to include him in his games and adventures.
He is soooooo smart - too smart actually, and I hope that I'm making th right decision by keeping him home with me this year - I just hope he doesn't get bored.
Finally, and most important, I feel that Sam knows who he is: he knows that Heavenly Father loves him, and one thing that I love about him is that he #1) always remembers to bless his food before eating it; and #2) always requests to listen to (and then sing) a CD of primary songs. He has such a tender heart, and we feel so lucky that he is ours.
