Sam's 8th birthday

Last Tuesday evening we had Sam's Birthday party. It was celebrated a few days late because of Bret and Amber being gone. He got lots of presents and this one he especially liked. It was a Lightning McQueen piggy bank that Amber got for him from Disney World. He also got some new jeans. As you can see he needed some new ones. Makes me mad when they get holes in perfectly good jeans! You'd think they could make them better.

Sam had his 8th birthday on the 24th! We were all excited to eat this huge yummy cake!!!

I also thought I'd asked the bakery for a quarter sheet cake. Instead I got a half sheet cake. Lots of cake for only 6 of us. Anyone want some? Sam had trouble blowing out all the candles on one blow. Bret re-lit the candles 3 times and made him try again until he did it. Man tough standards! For presents he got a Wii game, some Poki mon cards, some church pants, and a hot wheels crash track. He was excited. The next day, Wednesday, he was able to take some of his favorite cookies to school and share them with his class. M&M cookies. Now we're all looking forward to all the birthdays that are coming up. Bret's is in March, mine is in April, Amber's is in May, Keaton's is in June, and Finally Ben in September, which he says isn't fair that he has to be last. Yeah and I tell him that I planned it that way just to irritate him. Life is so un-fair!!!
