Maestro Sam

The Montgomery Symphony Orchestra held a concert Friday evening downtown by the State Capitol. We carried a picnic and our lawn chairs and enjoyed an evening of beautiful music. Aunt Sherry and Uncle Pat joined us. Sam found a stick and quickly learned how to conduct music. The video below shows Nick and Sam wrestling with each other. I am so blessed to have so much free entertainment!

Boys will be Boys

It is in their DNA.. they loves cars and trucks.. the bigger the better! Sam looked so cute when he put on his fire chief hat and pulled out his big firetruck (he has smaller ones). I had an amazing Mother's Day (and weekend). We went to a Biscuits game Saturday evening (notice Sam's hat?). We had such a nice time. Sam ate a hot dog, roasted peanuts, popcorn, a snow cone, and dippin dots. We walked around the ball park and let him play in the children's area.. and then we topped off the night with spectacular fireworks! Sunday we woke up early because it was our day to volunteer at church (Nick drives shuttle and I work in the nursery). Sam LOVES riding the shuttle with Nick... so we rode with him twice before going into church. After church, Sam's adopted grandparents (GiGi and Paw Paw) treated us to lunch. When we got home Nick and Sam gave me their cards and presents! I am so BLESSED!!! I could not help but reflect about Sam's birth mom and the priceless gift she has given me! God Bless her wherever she is and may God give her peace. I know she has to think of him often... especially since he will be celebrating his 3rd birthday soon. My little boy is growing so fast!

Look Who's Driving Now

We gave Sam this Power Wheels Jeep and he LOVES it! He had a ball driving around hunting Easter eggs!! Easter is such a glorious time to celebrate. Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, is risen! Hallelujah!! We had a great day of worship and fellowship. Thank you Lord for all our blessings.. AMEN!

Wednesday Evening Concert

This is Sam singing along with Elmo and his friends to Oh Suzanna! Who needs to pay for entertainment when we get this for free! Make sure you go down and turn off the music at the bottom before listening to the video.

Do you play golf on TV?

We have been having some cute conversations with Sam lately. Here are few that are amusing!

Nick is watching golf on TV. Sam says "Daddy play golf". Nick says "Yes, Daddy plays golf". Sam "Do you play golf on TV?"

Sam looking up to me after sitting on the potty with an upset tummy: "Mama, my hiney makes noise."

Sam watching Ni Hao Kailan on Noggin.. points to her grandfather who she calls YeYe (chinese for grandfather): "That is Kailan's Pop-Pop"

Sam watching Little Bill on Noggin.. points to his great grandmother: "That is Lil Bill's Nai-Nai" (Nai Nai is Chinese for paternal grandmother).

I hear Sam crying one morning. I run to see what happened and he is pointing out the window to the garbage truck outside that just picked up our trash. I said what is wrong? Sam "That's my garbage.. they take MY garbage". He settled down after I explained to him that we did not want to keep our garbage.

Updated: I tell Sam that he is Prince. He quickly shakes his no and says "I not a prince Mama.. I a boy"!

Bowling Night

We went bowling this weekend with some friends. We all had a great time.. especially Sam. He is growing so fast. He is getting taller, but not wider. Bless his heart, we have to wear belts because his 2T pants will fall off of him! He is constantly pulling up his pants. He is talking in full sentences and loves to ask the question "What's that Mama"??

Drum lessons

As you know, Nick played drums in a rock band and in his High School Marching Band. We got Sam a little tikes drum and here is video of Nick giving him lessons. Sam learns pretty quick!
