Happy 3rd Birthday, Sam!

Sam turned 3 over the weekend! It's amazing how time flies. I can remember my parents telling me that time went by faster as you got older, but good gracious! I had NO idea that it would go THIS fast! I'm 28. I think I'm in trouble. If time is already going by this fast, I only have a few more years until I'm retired! Wow!

Sam still has a long way to go before he has to worry about time flying by. I can't believe my little guy has turned into a little man already!

Happy Birthday, buddy!

Emmy woke up for Sammy's party. She only screamed for a little bit. She probably wanted to have some cake!

Sam's Elmo slippers were a hit!

Rachel had no problems with "helping" Sam open his presents.

As Sam blew out his candle, Rusty thought it would be funny to hit him with Silly String! Well, WE thought that it was funny! Sam had a little bit of a problem with it!

He screamed. We laughed! It was great!

Awwww....

Rachel thought it was GREAT! Don't worry...we'll get you, my pretty!

Joey was MORE THAN HAPPY to hold Emmy.

Poor Beth...Rusty will always be her big brother.

**Sigh**

I swear, I did nothing to provoke this look from Joey. He's weird all by himself!
It looks like a big piece, I know, but for some weird reason, Beth doesn't eat the icing!

Sam does, though...

My birday pwesent?!

Hey Joey!

Hmm?!?!

What?

We ran out of spoons, so we all used Sammy's kid spoons!

Grammy stopped by after work. She knows which buttons to push to get Sam's attention. Thomas is his favorite!

We have to MAKE Sam take off his Elmo Slippers to go to bed. He LOVES them!
