Sam Turns Eight!

It is amazing to me that 8 years can fly so quickly! AMAZING! He is such a wonderful little boy, and he is turning into an even better little man! I made him his cake (inspired by this cake on Pinterest below). I made it red and blue layers (4) and then frosted it, colored some of the frosting blue, and some red put it in a small ziplock bag and piped on the red in a spiral, took a needle, and drew the lines to make the web look. Then I doodled a spider in the blue and wrote out the letters! I loved the final product!

 
 I also made him 3 hacky sacks, or juggling balls.  Pattern found here: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/hacky-sack-2


Hayden loved them!



Here is Hayden playing with the Owl rattle I made him for his birthday last week. I never got a shot of  him with it



Here is Sam practicing with the sacks


Oma and Poppy got him a slip and slide! He and Eben can't wait!


Lovely Oma


Poppy!


My gorgeous sister helping him read his cards


We got him some devil sticks on amazon (specially made for kids 6-9) they are lighter and more manageable.


My heart


The yearly photoshoot! He gets cuter / more handsome every year!
