Samantha's Birthday

Patiently waiting for Mom to finish her cake.  She found the headband and put it on herself.  Notice Lexie playing the recorder

This was the first time I have ever used Rolled Fondant Icing.  It was even homemade.  The cake isn't the best, but it worked.  This is Pokey the pony off of Gumby.  Samantha LOVES Pokey.  The picture on the left is what I tried to follow.

 Samantha loved her Pokey Cake.  I told her she couldn't touch it so she just smothered it with kisses...making sure to kiss every foot, the mouth and nose!

 For lunch we got McDonalds.  It just so happened the first two Mcdonalds we went to had no power so they were closed.  We had to drive just a little further to get her cheeseburger!

 When Brindley and Karissa got home from school they played with Samantha in the snow.....which is one of Samantha's favorite things.  She loves to walk in it.  Brindley walked with her around the block.  Samantha walked in the gutter (which was filled with water) the whole way.

 Samantha loved every minute of it!

 For dinner we had OLIVES! OF COURSE!  We did have sloppy jo's too.

 Samantha opening presents.  She got some Pokey and Gumby Bendables.  We couldn't get a picture of her with her Pokey because she wanted it open right away!

 I told her to put her head down by her horse so I could get a head shot of her with her cake.  Here's what a two year old does when you say, "Put your head down by the cake."

 Love her cheesy smile!

 She actually blew out the candles from sitting clear back in her chair.

 First Bite!

I Love this little pill so much!  She definately keeps me on my toes.  She is into everything all ready.  She climbs the bunkbed latter.  She gets into Brindley's fingernail polish. She finds my eye glasses and bends the heck out of the frame.  She loves to do the laundry from putting it in the washer, then the dryer, then folding it, then putting it away.  She loves to run to her dad when he comes in the door from work.  She throws refried bean cans out of the cart and across the isle at the grocery store.  She runs from me at the grocery store and giggles the whole time she is running.  She loves to fill the cart with groceries while I'm not looking.  She loves her sisters and wants to be a part of whatever they are doing.  She LOVES Pokey and asks to watch it every night before bed.  She loves to eat yogurt or fruit smoothies with me every morning.  In her cute little sentences, she asks almost everyday if we can go to the Walmart store to buy yogurt.  She loves to go out and go to the stores.  She loves to read storybooks or have them read to her.  She knows where her dad stashes his treats.  She LOVES chocolate chips.  She is my chocolate covered baby.  She has a sensitive heart and is full of love for others.  She gives the best hugs and kisses.  We are so lucky to have her in our family.  Love you Samantha James!
