Yes, it is true. A mere six years ago, in the sweltering July heat, after 30 hours of labor, a precious blue bundle with black curls was placed on my lap to forever change my life, my occupation, and my heart to that of a mother. What a joy Sam is. For as much as he and I can argue and butt heads, he has been such a wonderful son and brother. He is the protector of Jack and Lyvie, the tenderheart of our family, and full of imagination and a love for learning new things. He is a boys-boy. He knows what he wants and goes for it - sometimes plowing over Jack in the process. He is the greatest help to me, and I'm forever blessed to have had him with me 24 hours a day for the past 6 years For his 6th birthday, Sam decided he was much too old for streamers and balloons, and opted for a homemade Happy Birthday Sam (courtesy of Jack and Liberty). He also requested a day filled with culinary delights: Dunkin Donut, McDonald's Happy Meal, Tortellini and Shrimp; and of course....CHOCOLATE CAKE.
Kung Fu Panda was the star of the cake this year. I had a blast with this one, experimenting with fondunt for the first time. It turned out well, and tasty. .
Wanna Be Like Jimmer? Sam recieved a BKB and hoop. This past year, he too got swept up in Jimmermania and has been increasingly interested in playing BKB. He wanted a basketball for his birthday, but we thought what good is a ball without a hoop? So we searched Craiglist, and found this little beauty. Sam was thrilled, quickly changing into his BYU shirt and ripping up the court.
He also recieved a bundle of Cars toys. It is like dejavue, three years ago he was obsessed with Cars, and now its happening again.
We hit up Walmart to use some birthday money, went swimming at the Thun's pool - where he got yet another toy: a noodle and aqua ball. This was followed by more swimming, at lesson. and Finally birthday cake. This is Sam's favorite part - blowing out of the candle. We had a really great day, and Sam felt very loved by so many people. I think I really like age 6!
