Sam Allen's 1st Birthday

Our Last One Is One!

We celebrated Sam Allen's 1st birthday May 12th. I'm still trying to wrap my brain around the fact that I have a 3rd child, and now he is already 1! We had a party the Saturday before. We could not have ordered a more beautiful day. The temperature was in the upper 70's, the sun was shining, and everyone had a great time. Thank you to everyone who helped us celebrate. On the 12th, Sam Allen got his first haircut -- Thank you, Mrs. Amy! -- and we all went to "Mexico" for supper. Of course, the twins let them know that we had a birthday boy at our table. So he got the hat, the whip cream on his nose, and the Spanish version of "Happy Birthday," which he seemed to understand. We also made sure to get him together with his birthday buddy, Abby, for their annual picture. She turned 9 on the 12th. I hope you all enjoy the birthday pictures and I will try to ease up on the "slide shows" after this...there were just to many good ones not to include them all. Hope everyone is well. We love you all!

Slide Show Fest

Hello everyone! As you can see, I went a little slide show crazy today. I was trying to get all of you caught up on the past year. My camera met an unfortunate fate with our brick floor Easter morning, which is why you don't see many pictures of that day. I did take more with my phone but I have to upload them. So, there will be more to come.
The twins are finishing up their first year of "school" and it has been a great experience. They adjusted far better than I had anticipated and love going to hang out with all of their "buddies," as they call them. I guess I better enjoy the fact that they like school while I can. I am sure that will change soon enough.
Sam Allen will turn 1 on May 12th. I am still not used to the idea that we have a third child and he is already 1! We are so glad that God knew we needed one more child, even though we thought we were finished. We have a big birthday party planned for this Saturday. I will post pictures next week.
I hope that you will all have time to view the slide shows -- there are 4 of them. Pop you some popcorn, sit back, and enjoy the show. We love you all!

We're Back!

HELLO EVERYONE!!!! My goodness, it has been a crazy (almost) year since I have updated this site. First of all, let me say sorry to the family and friends who depended on this site to keep in touch with us. I simply have not taken the time to upload pictures and blog. We moved in to the new house, the twins started K-3, and Sam Allen has been growing up entirely too fast. I am going to post a few pictures today and will be posting a few slide shows over the next few days to try to get you all caught up on the past 8 months. I will tell you all that Clay and I know how very blessed we are. All of our children are healthy, happy and EXTREMELY active! God is so good!
As a side note, let me also let everyone know that 2 of my very dear friends are expecting new little bundles of joy in the coming months - Joni and Todd Cheney are expecting a little girl in July and Amber and Brad Peacock are expecting a child in August. (they do not know the sex yet) Congratulations and best wishes to these special people in our life! We love you all!
Ok, friends. I promise to try to be better and I promise to try to include funny little stories and many more pictures. Hope you are all doing well and I hope you are all glad that we are back to blogging!
