Sam's Baptism

Sam turned 8 and was baptised on the 13th of June. I am so proud of Sam. He is the most honest and loving little boy in the world. He was so excited to be baptised and so happy that we had so many friends and family there to support him! Chad baptised Sam, Grandma Howell spoke on the Holy Ghost, Grandpa Howell spoke on Baptism. Aunt Jenna played a musical number on the piano and Sam's cousins Ellie, Ellyse and Saydria sang the song When I am Baptised. Grandma Nada and Aunt Tonya said prayers. It was such a wonderful day filled with the spirit and friends and family. I love Sam so much and am so happy that he is my baby boy!---that's right always my baby!

Easter 2009

Yep, a little late....better late than never right? Chad was over seas for Easter this year. I wanted to still try and make it a great time even though we missed him a ton! Chad's mom stopped in for the holiday and we went to a few Easter egg hunts. One in Copperton where my sister-in-law Tonya lives and then my sister Jenna who works for KSL invited us to attend their Easter egg hunt at "This Is The Place." We had a great time and got lots of goods. Sunday after church we went back up to Copperton to have dinner with family. We had a great time but sure missed Dad!!

Military Ball

Chad and I get to have one night a year that we dress up, go out, and get down! We go to the Military Ball. I alway get a new dress, get my hair done and look so forward to a night with my husband! This year we went with Chad's friends Nick and his date Christy, Kyle and his girlfriend Randy. We had a great time and can't wait until next year!

Where Do I Start?

So, as you all can see, I am terrible at blogging. I am great at reading the rest of your blogs, but not posting my own. Here I am going to start again! I don't want to go all the way back to January so I will do a quick review and get you all caught up on our crazy life!

Special Little Sam!!

This week at school Sam was chosen to be the Special Child of the Week. They sent home a questionnaire and we made a poster of his favorite things and some pictures to take to school and display! I want to write a few things about just how special of a child he is! Sam is one of the most kind-hearted people I have ever met. He genuinely wants to do the right thing and choose the right! He does not understand it when someone chooses wrong. He is a wonderful big brother and even though his brother likes to push his buttons and is good at it, Sam quickly forgives. He is always concerned about Ben and tries to prevent anything from ever happening to him. Sam has struggled with a lot in his short 7 years but always comes out ahead. Last week we had Sam's IEP meeting and the speech and special needs teachers both said that there is nothing more they could do for Sam! So he is now in the classroom full time which is amazing to see! I love Sam so much! I must have done something great to have Sam as my son!
