Merry Christmas

We spent Christmas in Utah this year and I took a ton of pictures before I even got my new hot pink camera! Well our trip consisted of: getting Mandee's new dog, Bells, Visiting a plethera of friends, doing a Nativity scene with all the grandkids, playing in the snow & making a leaning snowman, playing with cousins and their new toys, visiting Santa, & building a sweet puzzle!

We got a new memory card and I dug out my old camera so now, even though they aren't very high quality, I can take pictures of my Samburger all the time again!

No Camera?!

The reason I never post without pictures is cause I can't write and I am lost without pictures. I lost my camera over a very fun thanksgiving break, and now I feel like I can't post about it because I don't have any fun pictures to show :(

Well my parents, sister & brother-in-law, and their kids all came down for a Thanksgiving dinner with the Horspools. Then we went to Carlsbad beach campground for a night. We all slept in one trailer! I can't believe none of the kids woke up or anything!

Well that's the picture-less post of our Thanksgiving

I WANT MY CAMERA!

Camping

We ventured to Joshua tree last week for some good 'ole camping. And boy was it cold! Nevertheless, we found an awesome camp site!

We also stayed warm by hiking around a bit.

Then my handy husband built us a right nice and warm fire.

Sam was mesmorized by it

Then was bundled up in our tent with pretty much a billion blankets!

BRIGHT FLASH!

Sam woke up bright eyed as always!

Sam Walks!!

October

So this is what we did last month:

We got Sam's one year pictures...

Then we cut off his hair...

Then we dressed up for HALLOWEEN!

We had fun on a haunted hay ride!

Happy Birthday Samburger!!
I can't beleive my little baby is already grown into a rambunctious hooligan!
He: is so close to walking
is always tipping stuff over or dropping stuff and saying, "uh-oh"
empties every drawer he can open and shakes his head and says,"no" while doing it.
has hair that sticks straight up no matter how long it gets
loves his toys so much he will scream at you if you take them away
loves to body slam his dad in the morning
always brightening my day with his adorable laugh and smile!

Hot Air

We had so much fun spending the day at the park and riding a sweet hot air balloon!

Cowboy

Sam & I got to go to Snowflake to visit my cousins the Flakes. Sam had so much fun riding my uncle Scott's horse, he's a natural!

New trick

Sam surprized us the other day with his new trick!

We're so proud!

Our good friends, the McIntosh's, did a family photo shoot for us at the beach!

We love the pictures, and we are soo glad we have such awsome friends!

Here are just a few of them.
