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.

Ghouls at Grassmere

Yesterday we took the boys to Ghouls at Grassmere.  Day started out pretty traumatic for Sam.  He wanted to go out and play.  He started to notice that there were several little worms on the porch.  He was terrified that the worms were going to get him so he sat in the porch swing with me for almost an hour.  Finn spent his time finding worms and then stepping on them.  Michael doesn't like for Finn to kill worms because they aren't hurting anything.  I reminded Finn of this fact and told him not to kill any more worms.  After a few minutes I start to hear more crunching.  I decide to take a different approach.  I told Finn, "Finn - the momma worm is going to be so sad because you killed the baby."  He looks at me and said, "don't worry mom - I'm gonna kill the momma too."  So much for the guilt trip. After a nap, it was time to start getting ready for the Zoo.  We started with the tights.  I bought Finn little girl...

The Fourth of July

Well the Begley clan had a pretty big Fourth of July celebration. Finn and I started the day by making a quick run to Wal-Mart to pick up some oatmeal. Then we got ready for our day with with Emily, Zac, Coop, Hank, Nana and Papa. We all met over at Em's house for a little playing, a little swimming and a lot of eating. When we first got there we all sat upstairs and watched the boys play in Cooper's playroom. Finn was absolutely amazed at all the toys. Then we decided to go to the pool. After getting the boy lathered up, we all loaded in the back of Zac's truck like the Clampetts and headed to the pool. With respect to those who would rather not be seen in a bathing suit on the blog, I have omitted the swimming pictures. We didn't get to swim too terribly long because it started looking like it was going to storm so we were only out for an hour. Once we got back home we had dinner. Greg made the best ribs I have ever put in my mouth. To end the evening Finn an...

High Ankle Sprain

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.
