Happy Halloween!

Samuel Scott is 10 months old! He is crawling all over the place, he now has 4 teeth - two on top, two on the bottom. He is always happy! He loves to clap his hands and yell... a lot. He loves to look at books and at himself in the mirror. He loves goldfish (the crackers). And Mommy and Daddy really love it when he snuggles with us. Here are a few Halloween pictures to share....

Our little skunk!

And my most favorite picture of the bunch.....

Here is my costume....

Happy Birthday to me!

It is my 30th birthday today. I don't feel like I"m 30 - although who really knows what it's supposed to feel like anyway. Mainly I'm surprised at how fast the time has gone - what a great ride it has been. I cherish all of it - the ups and downs, because those experiences make me appreciate all that I have - A wonderful family, a beautiful baby boy, an awesome husband - and great friends! My life is truly blessed and I am so thankful!

I had a great weekend - we took a last minute trip up the shore of Lake Superior. Met up with my Mom and Dad who were spending a few days at Naniboujou lodge for their 40th (August 17th was the actual date). They didn't mind that we crashed their party - I asked first!

The weather was beautiful and the leaves on the trees were in all their fall glory! We met Mom and Dad z at the Naniboujou lodge last night and had a wonderful meal. This morning we went on a hike that I have been wanting to take since we have lived in northern MN - Devil's Kettle. It was awesome! Sam and Copper enjoyed themselves too!

Sam's not too sure about this.....

Nap time!

Could have been the Christmas card picture, but Sam was sleeping in the car with Grandma on this little hike up Cascade river.

At the end of Temperance River - we saw quite a few salmon in the water and Sam enjoyed tasting rocks!

This is a funny video of what it's like watching Sam laugh at himself laughing in videos....
