Officially 14! {Sam}

We celebrated Sam's birthday in Utah this year. He said it was the best one ever! We started off at the D.I. then he got a Uof U sweatshirt at Kohl's from grandma and grandpa, then ate lunch at the new drive thru Chick-fil-A! It ended with the Utah Arkoudas' celebrating with us at Yiaya and Papou's!

He'll need that hat this winter.

After opening all the presents, Noah had a phone in his pocket that started to ring. He answered it and said "Sam, it's for you." Sam took it and said "whose phone is this?" It was his.

I had been telling him all year that he couldn't have a phone until he was driving. But with the school so far away and multiple times that I needed to contact him, his father convinced me that he needed it now. I caved!

Annalee is wondering who? who has me? Lij!

Showing off our fashion earrings! clip on of course.

Cake time!

Lighting his own candles...in the shape of a 14 since we didn't quite have 14...that's a lot!

We are redneck!

Hope all your birthday wishes come true Sam! You are a really great kid, and I hope you always stay that way...even if you are 14!
