Happy Birthday Samuel!

Today at 7:25am Samuel turned 7!  Samuel being Samuel refused to say he was 7 until the time passed that he was born.  He said repeatedly he was so glad his birthday did not occur when he was on the bus or at night.  That would have been too long to wait!  He is so silly!

So Samuel here is you at age 7....

1.  You are loud.  You talk loudly, yell loudly, whisper loudly...you are just loud!
2.  You are the most stubborn person I know.  You never give in to anything and always suffer the consequences of your stubborness.

4.  You play hard. 
5.  You love to be outside playing anything.
6.  You love to be dirty and the dirtier the better.

10.  You absorb information like a sponge.
11.  You still want to be an Army Ranger.

18.   You like to say the most off the wall things just to be silly.

Emma described you as ridiculously crazy.  Elena said you were cute.  Jonah said you were annoying, but sweet.

I have to agree with all of them.  You are definitely those things.  

Thrilled to get this CD

Very happy about his new baseball bag

Even happier about this military boat

We love you so much and it is a joy and blessing to be your parents.  I love being your mom even on the hard days.  I am so proud of the boy you are becoming.  Your heart is huge and it matches your smile. 

This expression is so you

Happy Birthday sweet Samuel!!
