Samantha's latest adventures...

September has been a very busy month for our family! On August 30th Samantha had her blessing. It was a great time to see family and to celebrate Samantha's arrival. Her uncle Andrew documented the event beautifully. Click here to see his blog post. Below are just a few pictures from some of the fun things we've done this month. Chris had a "stay-cation" this past week so we were able to squeeze in some extra fun before the snow flies. Enjoy!
Here is Samantha in the beautiful dress that Uncle Eric and Aunt Maria gave her. She loved putting her hands in the crochet holes!

This is Sam in her new baby saucer. She LOVES it. It helps her to get strong and keeps her from getting bored.
Here's Sam right after a bath. Bathtime is by far the best part of Samantha's day. She likes them morning and night and won't let you forget!
This month we've learned to hold a rattle all by ourselves! Sunday School is super fun now that Samantha rocks the house with her beats.
Here's Daddy and Sammy playing at the ward party.
Sam chillin' in her stroller at the Hogle Zoo!
Waiting for the Baby Elephant to wake up with Mom at the Hogle Zoo!
Pretending not to be tired so she can stay up and play with Daddy in his game room.
Waiting for the Draft Horse Pull at the Utah State Fair.
This is pretty dark but it was taken early in the morning after our first "camp-out" with Samantha in our back yard. It was basically a test run to see if we are ready to go camping for real. Samantha passed the test and slept like a log but Mommy woke up every 15 minutes to make sure that Sammy was okay. No camping trips for us for a while!



This is my first try at posting a video on my blog. It's not the best, since it is from my cell phone, but there is a pretty cute baby smile in the middle.
