Cherry Blossoms 2012

Trying first post from my iPAD...we kept with tradition and caught the blossoms before they disappeared with today's rain.

Christmas In Hawaii!!

So I got Stacie to agree to 14 hours of flying (which turned into 16 hours after we missed a connection) and visit my sister in Hawaii for Christmas!!! The flight was long but we made it and boy were we glad we went. We had so much fun!! Samantha loves her cousin Natalie. They played and played together. They thought each other were hilarious. We went to all the cool sites on Oahu including Pearl Harbor, Waikiki Beach, North Shore, Diamond Head, Hanauma Bay, The Dole Plantation and more beaches than I can tell you about. Not to mention the fact that the day after we arrived it was Stacie's birthday (we had a special dinner at the new Disney resort)

The Grandparents could not miss this so they came a week after we arrived and we all had blast. It was so much fun being together with my family.

I think I will let the pictures speak for the rest of it

Look Who is Walking!!!

This video shows her first real steps!! Within minutes she was off and exploring the house.

We are so excited to have a walker now!! Here are some pics of the walking.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Halloween came a little early as we braved the storm on Saturday and went Trunk or Treating.

Was there really an doubt on what Samantha was going to be for Halloween?!

A few catch-up posts below!

Fun at the Zoo

The Liecthys came to visit...Samantha loved playing with her cousins! We went to the National Zoo and Samantha really enjoy "walking" around.

MD Celebration

We had a small celebration of Samantha's 1st birthday with her "boyfriend" Troy who is one day older. Incase you can't tell from the pictures, she kept trying to kiss Troy while we were taking pictures. Daddy is getting worried about how much she likes the boys...Troy is getting a run for his money now based on her mornings with Jack.

1st Birthday

Samantha had the best 1st Birthday ever. She got to spend it with her cousins in UTAH!! And also she got spend it with both Grandparents as the Musgraves made it over from Denver. Samantha had a special birthday party at the Kamas Recreation Center. She had so much fun swimming. She was a little weirded out by the big bird cake but she still liked seeing everybody. Her most favorite activity was riding down the water slide. The dressed up a room with balloons and paper products of Strawberry Short Cake was also a favorite


Also, it was a great opportunity to get some pics from Emily!!

We Love you Samantha!!!
