Sam Turns 7

-
On January 14, 2019, Sam turned seven (7) years old.  Sam's birthday sneaks up on me every year because I haven't quite recovered from Christmas before it's time to gear up again for Sam's Birthday.  For that very reason, we celebrate Sam multiple times throughout January.  On Sam's real birthday he opened his custom made card from Nana and we took him to eat at Swaney Swifts (per his request).









Sam and Will at Swaney's.  Sam picked Swaney's for the milk shakes.



Later in the week Will went to visit Nana, so we found ourselves able to have a relaxing meal at Texas Roadhouse.









Since it was still so close to Sam's birthday they let him sit on the saddle.



After dinner we took the boys to target for a few minutes.  Finn ended up filming most of our trip to Target. Titillating stuff.

We had his birthday party at Urban Air.  This might be the best trampoline park that I have ever seen.  They had a warrior course, ropes course, bumper cars, climbing walls, trampolines and trampoline dodgeball.  It was awesome.



















Sam invited two friends from school (Ayden and Isaiah), two friends from church (Daniel and Preston) and his cousins.  He had a great turn out and really incredible birthday party.







When we got home later that night we gave him is "special" cupcake.  Michael and I were so happy that he had just a great party.  Sam felt really special and that was the goal.

Today we woke up at 6:30 to prepare for our big day at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. The shuttle from the hotel left for the park at 8:00 meaning that we had to be downstairs and ready to go at 7:45. At 7:30 we realized that we had to book our spot on the shuttle the night before. Oops. For two people with jobs requiring close attention to detail we completely fall apart in our personal life. Fortunately we were able to purchase a ticket and catch the 8:00 shuttle anyway. The shuttle ride was interesting; we ended up sitting behind a young couple that could have left about 90% of their PDA in their hotel room and it still would have been too much for my taste. When we got to the park we noticed our ticket required that we show I.D. Well, I didn't bring my purse with me. Oops. After reading and rereading the fine print, we lawyerly types figured out an interpretation that would allow me to get into the park without producing photo i.d. We geared up for the fight

Wednesday night I got a strange phone call from Michael; he asked if I could get an ice pack and a couple ibuprofen ready for him.  Check it out . . .   He went to the doctor Thursday morning and came home with a boot, a pressure sock and a pair of crutches.  Looks like he will be out of commission for approximately two months.

On Sunday morning we slept until 9:30!  Finn was up with the sun, of course, but Sam slept until a little after 9:00. When we got up the sun was shining so we decided to hang the boys gourd bird house from Mr. Gene.  So far we have really enjoyed going to church on Sunday night.  Finn specifically told me that he likes night church better because he can get up and play.  The boys had a pajama party at school today.  It was in honor of Ms. Jenn's last day before maternity leave.  Finn was very excited to show his friends his godzilla feet. Big morning for Finn.  Last night was the first night that we have not put a nighttime pull-up on Finn.  He woke up with a dry bed!
