Our Perfect 10

Sam's 10th birthday was at Sky Zone and we had a bouncing good time.



My number 10 cake was a real hit.



 We had robots in place of goody bags. Which everyone loved.


Slam Dunk!


Best Buds.


Josie and Ana jumping.


Us


Dodge Ball on trampolines.


Zane



Our new neighbor friends.


Josie and her best friend Ausha.


Dad and Grandma.



Slam.


Josie excited as Sam is about to blow out the candles.



Josie's gift to Sam.


A bunch of money.


Mr. Cool


Back to the house for some volleyball...


...and making smores.


We had so much fun together in the backyard.



We love the fire pit and making smores.



After all our friends left Sam, Josie and Ana decided to camp out in our tent. While they had a lot of fun they only made it until 2 a.m. when we had a pop up storm that brought them inside. This has to be a record for a birthday celebration- 10 hours long for my perfect 10 of a boy.
 Happy Birthday Sam!
The has been the best 10 years of our lives just having you by our side.

Sam and Grandma's Alaskan Cruise

In no particular order here are some photos from their awesome trip.

A visit from our cousin- girl time

My niece came to visit this week and since Sam isn't back from his trip yet the girls have had some one on one time. We are making the most of these hot summer days and turning ever moment we can into an adventure.


Tacos with fresh fruit for dinner


 Swimming with noodles


 The pool has been WONDERFUL!


Happy!



Picking wildflowers in the morning


 How beautiful they look.


A special visitor in the woods


On the path picking blackberries.

Can't wait to sugar them and eat them.


Back to the pool to cool off.


Finding shade even in the pool.


Enjoying our berries and watermelon- how sweet this day is.



Ana got some alone time (sort of) when Josie fell asleep on the couch.


Coloring after dinner.

David- For dinner your daughter ate 9 chicken wings, 2 helpings of mac n cheese, fruit, bread and salad - I swear I didn't starve her during the day. Josie on the other hand wasn't really awake from her nap and she laid her head on the table causing her hair to fall into the mac n cheese. Yuck! Ana pointed out her Mom doesn't let her lay her head down on the table- now she knows why.

The girls are currently back at the pool with Eric. Tonight is going to be movie time and then if we are all lucky a decent bedtime. Tomorrow Sam will be home and I can't wait to see his little face and hear all about his amazing adventure.


*Since my camera is in Alaska with Sam I am using my phone to take these pictures. Not sure why it does different sizes.
