Another Day, Another Adventure

We spend most of our free time on one adventure or another. Whether it is checking out a new vacation destination and marking another state off our list, or trying out something new, there is never a dull moment-and we wouldn't have it any other way.

3??? Could it be???

On Tuesday, Sam turned 3.  Yes, that is right, he turned 3.  
2 month old Sam. 


Despite the fact that it is unbelievable that he is that old, we took some time to celebrate his birthday.

The big day: 

Doughnuts for breakfast
Sam and Louie's for supper

Family birthday party this weekend.  


Enjoying his aunt's new puppy

Grandma Sue and Great-Great Aunt Shirley talking about life.
Some present-opening help from cousins
 For weeks, we've been asking Sam what he wants on his cake.  His answer without fail..."candles...free of them" If you ask him what else he wants on it, his answer is "hmmm....fire!" So we took him at his word.  here is his not-so-fancy cake.
The masterpiece? 
Mmmm....Great-Grandma Lorraine's red cake
Cousins!!
Playing outside in the beautiful weather!
What a beautiful day.
 Feeling guilty that I hadn't made (OK, let's be honest, ordered) a fancy cake.  I felt compelled to do something special for the meal.  I came up with these little guys.  Sam loves the minions from Dispicable Me so I thought they would be a hit.  I was right. 
Made entirely of pineapple, blackberries, pears and some frosting to hold the blueberries on them.
Happy birthday to Sam
