Sammie's 1st Birthday!

We had such a fun day! All of our friends came and Von's parents and brother came, and then my sister Melissa came. We had a bbq. It was way nice weather. Sammie had so much fun opening her presents and eating her cake! She was really good at opening her presents. She would take the tissue out of the bag and look for the present inside! She was also very good at taking the wrapping paper off!

My friend Tser took these pictures and made them all cute for me!

She got way messy! She loved her big cupcake!

I bought her this cute hat but she did not want to wear it!

The Big Top cupcake pan made an awesome giant cupcake! My sister helped bake and frost all of the cupcakes! It was so fun to have her here! She was such a big help! I can hardly believe my little baby is one!

Von's new look!

For Halloween Von shaved off his facial hair so he could be a creepy clown. He also just cut off all of his hair. He has been growing it out since April. He originally was growing it out until after his brother got home from his mission. Josh was supposed to be home in August but he extended till September so then Von decided to just keep growing for Halloween. It was driving him crazy though so after Halloween he dedcided to chop it all off! So now he has no hair on his face and not much on his head! He looks very different, but I think he looks good no matter what!

Clean shaven for the first time in four years! It is also the first time I have ever seen him without facial hair! I did like the smooth skin!

Halloween!

I was Hermione this year and Sammie was Dorothy from the Wizard of OZ. We went to our ward's Trunk-or-Treat. It was fun. Sammie loved seeing everyone in costume.

We also had a Halloween party at my house. Here are some of our friends!

Here is Von as the ultimate creepy clown. We made him a life size Jack-in-the-Box. So kids had to look in the box for candy and when they opened the lid there was Von. He scared so many kids. One kid jumped into his dad's arms and ouwln't get down again! Von had a great time!

Here is all of us! We had a great Halloween!

Here is Sammie trying so hard to get to her candy! Her efforts paid off. She chewed so hard on the Starburts that she got through two layers of wrapper to get to the candy inside! Sammie ate a lemon starburst! It wasn't until I smelled the lemon that I realized she was eating candy! She is very sneaky!

So sleepy!

So have you ever been this tired? Sammie was so tired and she wouldn't take a nap. So I put her in her high chair to see if she was hungry, and I guess she wasn't cause she crashed hard! She fell asleep right there in her high chair with food and all! She is so funny and soo stubborn! Anyway, hope you all are having a great week! Halloween will be here soon! Check out my Halloween music mix to hear some fun scary toons!

First Word!

So Sammie has been saying momma, Dada for a while now, but her first official word is, "uh oh!" She says it when she drops things, or when I drop things! It is way cute! She is also trying to say "hello." She has a play phone and she will put it to her ear and say "hello." She is just learning and growing so quickly!

We went to Idaho last weekend and played at grandmas. There were some balloons left over fromLindsey's shower so the kids had a great time playing with them! This was Sammie's first encounter with balloons. She loved them!

Here is Sammie with Uncle Jeremy! He is so good with kids! Sammie loved him and her cousin Kadren!

Here is Sammie with Grandma! She was way into her balloon!

Baby Shower!

I went to I.F. for my little sisters baby shower. It was lots of fun. Sammie got to hang out with her cousins and I got to spend some time with my family!

Linds got soem awesome presents.

She got a bull dog because well, she is a Doggett!

Linds is going with the Jungle theme for her nusery. I think it is going to be so cute! I can't wait to meet my new nephew! I know he is going to be so cute!

Baby Proofed????

So I thought that I had "Baby Proofed" the house, HAHAHA! Yeah right! Sammie gets into everything! Her favorite thing to get into is the recycle bin. She loves to play with the bottles of water!

She also loves to get things out of the garbage! Ewww! Yuck! Then I have to wash her hands!

Then she grins when she gets caught! With a face like that I can't get too mad at her!

She loves to take out all of my shoes. I can tell now that she is going to be a shoe girl.

Then there is the computer desk. I sure wish the shelves had a door to protect them but I went cheap and bought my desk at Walmart! That will teach me! Anyway, Sammie is getting so big and she is learning so quickly! I can hardly believe that she will be one in a month! Yikes! My little baby is growing up too quickly! I love her to death (even if she does make a huge mess wherever she goes!)
