St Paul's Easter Egg Hunt

On Saturday, we went to the Easter Celebration with the puppets at St Paul's. Sam had a ball and collected 9 eggs in his basket. Daddy was able to come and take pics and enjoy the egg hunt part of the morning!

Easter Egg Hunting Practice

Easter Egg hunting practice on Good Friday with Mommy, Daddy, and Grandpa and Grandma Seban. I had my cool baseball Easter basket...I picked up two eggs and then I found a stick!

Sam's 1st Year at a Glance

Kodiak Alaska VBS

I got mobbed by kids for a group hug and just had to take a picture! What a great trip. Can't wait to go back in 3 years!!!

Our group of VBS children at the closing service when parents were invited to come and see what the children learned throughout the week.

We stayed at a retreat center on Island Lake. Look at this gorgeous lake, and I'm out canoeing at 11 o clock at night!

Look a this sweet view of Kodiak harbor from the gun deck of the US Coast Guard Cutter Munro. We were given a tour by the Captain of the ship!

We all had a chance to go for a boat ride around Kodiak with Captain Tony and his trusty fishing boat.

Here I am inside of a Coast Guard C130. It was amazing, like a was about to fly out hatch without a parachute to be saved by Harrison Ford clinging to a strap!

Pastor Bob with one of our Gadget Groups on Kodiak. We served approximately 60 kids per day.

We took a ride on the Ferry Tustamena between Homer and Kodiak. You can see the fin of a whale off to the left of the picture. We had several great whale viewings, although I slept through the first one!

Here is our group getting at the airport in St. Louis. We had 15 youth and 4 adults from our church plus 2 adults from Louisiana. What a great team!

Don't you just love it!

Sam loves giving us the raspberries.

PEEK!

Peek a boo is a constant game we play in our house. Here Sam lays on the bed and mama crawls around and springs up to surprise him. Sam loves this! He searches for me and laughs like crazy when I spring up or if he spots the top of my head.

Anyone for a swim?

Sam had his first pool experience in late June at Isabelle's birthday party. We were a bit apprehensive due to the fact that up til then he didn't care to stay in the bath tub very long. However, he surprised us once again and began splashing a bit and even kicking his legs!

Cool little Sam

These were the coolest little sunglasses, as they wrap around his head and don't fall right off! Grandma found them for when we go to the beach in August.

An afternoon at the Garden with the Girls

We went to the Botanical gardens with Amie and the girls. Fun was had by all. The girls climbed all over the children's garden with all the tree houses and other activities there. But the best part was getting wet on this hot, humid afternoon in the fountain!









Sam even turned the boat wheel a couple of times ... until he decided he needed to see how it tasted! He is all about putting everything in his mouth and chewing. He has two teeth on the bottom and one coming through on top.

Sam's Growing up fast

It's getting hot in St. Louis!

If only he could smile use his thumb when he loses his pacifier at night!

We spent a few hours at the Botanical Gardens in June. We found this great floppy hat for Sam among some items that were given to us!

We enjoy taking pictures of our SAM!

Mommy with our little Cubs fan. How hard can it be anyway bringing up a Cubs fan in St. Louis?

Our little ray of sunshine brings a smile everyday, how would you like to wake up to that smile. Daddy get's to almost every day!

Our little Sam is supporting himself with his arms very well!

Belly Laughs

Laughin til daddy comes home. While daddy was with the youth, Grandma and Grandpa Seban came for a couple of days. Here we got Sam rolling with laughter!

Sitting up?

Sam can now sit up on his own...if he wants to.

Mr. Sunshine

Here we have our little sunshine, who has been keeping mom on her toes, while dad is on a youth trip. Tim gets back today. YEAH!

What a great smile!

Our days are filled with these amazing smiles. You can tell he just lights up a room!

Mirror Mirror...

Our crazy little guy laughs with Mommy as they play with the mirror!

Say What?

Sam and Dad take some time for a conversation... Sam doesn't look to sure about what's being said!

First St. Patrick's Day

Sam is all smiles on his first St. Patrick's day. Aunt Sally and Uncle Jim sent him this little outfit

Ribbit!

Sam looks good in green! Mom and Dad are just happy he's smiling after a bath! He's just starting to like them!

The Grandparents came to visit

We were so happy to have our parents come for a visit. Sam is growing so fast and can now play with his grand parents.

He loved every minute of it as you can see!
