Where does the time go?

I feel like summer has just begun and we have already had one birthday one anniversary, Camp Alma, Girls Camp, youth conference, Holidays, and now my sweet Sam turned one.

She is such a joy and blessing to our family. She loves to think that she is "BIG", as she totes behind her older sister and brother. She has a teasing personality and is also sweet and mellow until you cross her (don't think about taking a toy/treat from this child). And then she pushes and squeals until she gets her point across.

She has ZERO teeth, Yes NONE!

But that hasn't stopped her from eating everything her heart desires. Right now her favorite things to eat are:

* CHEESE

* TURKEY

* PEARS

* PEACHES

* TOAST

* YOGURT

* CHOCOLATE CHIPS

* FRUIT SNACKS

*ICE CREAM

She never grew accustomed to baby food and would rather starve than actually eat any of it. So at a young age she ate table food. And has never looked back.

She loves to snuggle and give hugs and kisses.

She loves the water and can't find even the smallest puddle to dabble in.

She has gorgeous brown eyes and incredibly long eyelashes.

She is dainty and sweet with a side of spice.

We love her so much and have enjoyed seeing her grow. She is the only one of my children who doesn't need a nap.

She likes to tease her mom and dad and she is determined only when she decides it is something she wants to do.

I can't wait to see what this next year brings.

Love you Samantha!!
