Samantha's Baptism

Samantha Grace was baptized into the Catholic Church on 18 April 2010 at St. Martha's in Sarasota, Florida. It was a great celebration.

She wore the same Baptismal Gown as her brother Tyler and her mom. Samantha's great grandmother made the gown by hand...it is very special.
All ready to go. The hat has a piece of hair from all four grandparents sewn in it. Me with my mom, dad and Godparents (Aunt Ashley and Uncle Tim)

Tyler's 2nd Birthday Party!

Mommy had a birthday party for me at my favorite playground, Meadow Lane. My friends from playgroup helped me celebrate my 2nd Birthday!

Lauren was sad that I was more interested in cake than her. Maybe in 15 years that will be different.

Tyler Counting to 10

Tyler hates the camera now and doesnt want to perform while we film...who blames him? We would demand payment too. Tyler loves to count to 10 but not if he sees any type of camera, as you can see this took some bribing on our end.
