Happy 1st Birthday Baby Tate!

Yea! I am one now! Watch out world here I come!
We celebrated on his birthday with balloons and Cupcakes!
He finally took his fingers out of his mouth long enough
to try his first dessert.
He loved it! Mom my world has been opened to new tastes.
No more yucky baby food. I am one now!

A week later we had his big birthday party when my mom was in town as we celebrated with the Samuelson family tradition......
Jello Cake
It took him awhile to warm up to the idea and to take his fingers out of his mouth,
but in the end he loved hitting the jello and watching it wiggle.
He only ate a litte, so his big brother helped him taste it.
We invited all of his fans... the kids from church over
for the big event and it was a winning day.


Tate is so full of joy and curiosity. He is into more cupboards more than the other three put together. He has a great laugh and brings us such joy. We love you Tate. Have a great year exploring and being ONE!

As the baby of the family it is hard to see the last of the jello cakes, crawling and cuddling. He is now now off for exploration and independence. Walking here I come.

I do love having short babies so the little clothes last at our house a little longer. The doctors don't think the same and the boys might not think the same in high school.

HAPPY 6TH BIRTHDAY JILL!

Jill had a day full of celebration....
She started out with a favorite cereal!

She then opened her morning presents...
a Bath Bombe and an Ariel Game!
There was no school today so she enjoyed
a bath with her bath bombe that my friend makes.
It turned the water turquoise and she spent an hour
being a mermaid.



Jill's two best friends came over in the afternoon
to watch the New Tinker Bell Movie!

In the evening we PARTIED as a family with a Pizza Dinner and...
