Bubbles.. Bubbles.. Bubbles

Samantha got a bubble blower for her b-day so we tried it out after work today. She loves Bubbles now, and so does Maddie (our dog). Maddie was running and jumping around all over the place and Samantha laughed so hard. I think she really had more fun watching Maddie! More of a reason every kid needs a Dog! :)

Samantha's 1st Birthday Party!

We had Samantha birthday at home with family and friends on Sunday March 22nd. It was a hit .... I was so stressed about everything but it turned out great.



She really did "dig" in to her cake... but she liked what she ate.



Yes, she is on top of her bubble lawn mover.. she couldn't wait to play with it!

The Family!

Samantha's first car!

Nana and PaPa Asher got Samantha her very first car for her birthday and she loves it. I was at home with her yesterday afternoon and all I did was push the car around! She just laughs and smiles so big it's hard to stop. I think she may have me figured out!

Happy 1st Birthday Samantha

My baby is 1.... it's so hard to believe and so exciting all at the same time. We had Samantha's pictures taken a few weeks ago, here are some of the good ones. It was so hard to choose. Her personality is really coming out and she sure is a SASSY little thing!

Having fun at Nana & PaPa Asher

No one can say My little girl doesn't look like her daddy!




Showing us her necklace... that she had to have with her all day!





Blowing bubbles with Momma.

She looks so big in this picture, I can't believe she is going to be a year old in a few days. This year has gone by so fast. Samantha took her first steps on Monday the 9th while she was at home with her Daddy! I'm so thankful that God has blessed us and we are able to watch her grow.

~~ 11 Months Old ~~

So this is how our little photo session goes these days.. she is running away!

One Quick smile..

Rip of the Bow and get the play money.. and that is a wrap!

This is Samantha showing of her newest thing! She can stand all by herself. No walking yet, but we think it is coming soon. She also likes to hand you things so she can hear you say "Thank you" but she expects you to give it back within a few seconds. She is also learning a lot more cause and effect! She loves to throw her cup and say uuuhhhh ooooohh! I can't help but smile, it cute!

It is so crazy that she is already 11 months old. To think last year at this time I could wait for another 3 weeks to go by and now it's going by to fast. God has blessed us in so many ways with her and she continues to amaze me everyday!

Valentine's Day in the Park

Momma sweet Valentine


Are they not the cutest!



Having fun in the tunnel!



Samantha and Holden


On Saturday, Samantha and I went to the park with Kelly, Holden, and Samantha's grand-parents. They had so much fun on the slides and tunnel. Of course I was there with my camera!! We couldn't stay to long because it was starting to get cold. I can't wait till summer so we can play more at the park.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX

Happy Valentine's Day.. Samantha had a little party at "school" today so I went to see her. She is in her new class now with Ms. Daphne, and she loves her! This is the first time Samantha has gotten any "real" sweets. What can I say.... she loved it, and ended up eating two cookies! Here are a few of the pictures I took... you all know I had to take pictures! haha







See my little teeth!

I love this look...

Play Time

Playing with Money already!


We decided to put a toy corner in Samantha's room after Christmas because of all the toys she got. She loves it!! She will even crawl in there to play by herself. Which I have to say is pretty cool!

Shopping!

Samantha is shopping at Pottery Barn! She loves magazines, or at least loves to tear them up. Luckily she just likes to tear them and not eat them!

Flower Power!

I just thought this was to cute not to share. I have found a new picture program and was up till way past my bed time playing with it.

10 Months old!

Samantha is 10 months old! It was so pretty outside we decide to take some pictures outside. As you can see Samantha is finally getting some hair.. well just a little. She has also become very attached to her "bear". She wants to take it everywhere, and gets extremely upset when I make her leave it at home. She is learning to give kisses.. or course they are the open mouth wet kisses, but they are so sweet!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! We were happy to have a fun new years with the Kitchens' family. Samantha must have know something was going on because she didn't go to sleep until 11:30. Holden made it all the way till midnight!

9 Month Pictures

Better late then never.... here are some of Samantha's 9 month pictures we had taken.

What to do with all the toys!!

Samantha loves her music station. She can crawl up to it and pull herself up. She is getting so big, and independent!

Christmas with Memaw and Pa Asher

We all went to Waco to have Christmas with my grandparents the Sat. after Christmas. This made the 5th and final time to open presents! We have had a wonderful Christmas and are very thankful for all of our family and friends.
