After dinner, Sam's amazing cousins took him outside to introduce him to snap pops. Later that night we drove over to Jeff's house and hiked up a hill near there where we had an amazing view of many of South Orange County's fire work displays.

Happy Fourth 2010
It was fun to have family with us to celebrate Independence Day. Dan's brother Jeff and family joined us at our house after church for a 4Th of July BBQ.

Happy Father's Day to Our Super Hero Daddy!
Danno has been an amazing father and husband and we were glad to celebrate this day for him and our fathers. I am so proud and grateful for Dan for all the crazy things he has endured this past year as a provider for Sam and I, changing jobs, moving across the nation and then practically remodeling our new house. He has been through a lot to make our lives happy and we love him for all he has done for us. Here he is pleasantly surprised by the new mt. biking shirt I gave him.

Utah June 2010
A summer trip to Utah for Sam and me.
Below are Sam and some of his cousins, who can cause a lot of craziness and laughter.

Tristan Liam Luke
Our first stop was a much needed one as I had never met my niece Mia. We stopped in Springville at my sister's house and I got my satisfaction from holding this cutie.
Sam was more than anxious to see his cousins and get right into the playing. Wolverine!
It never fails, Sam always seems to play matchy-match with one of his cousins and he thinks it's pretty cool to look like Luke!
My brother Joel and Tom and I went with my mom and our kids to the Million Dollar Park.

My brother Joel and Tom and I went with my mom and our kids to the Million Dollar Park. Sam and Tristan had a lot of outdoor fun! It was really cute because they would stand within inches of each other so they could get the bullets on each other's vests and they thought they were doing the game just right!
Buddies! Never know what these two little critters are up to!!
Sam and Luke have an almost brotherly like relationship. Sam looks up to Luke at whatever he does. Luke tries to help out Sam. They love to play with each other but they also have their brother-like fights too. It's pretty special.
Oh how he LOVES them! Sam's face shows it all. Sam's relationship with his cousins is pretty special. His little personality shines when he's with these guys. 
Sam and this little sweetie have a special bond with each other as well because they share a similar name. Samantha is just a few weeks older than Samuel and they have a great time together.
My little Sis. Ash, had a great idea of inviting all her cute nephews and niece to the Provo Pool for some much needed water fun and they LOVED it! They each had fun in their own way whether it was going down the water slide or just sticking right where they were bouncing in the water.
This is how Sam will always remember his Grandma Bean: M&Ms! When the grand kids come to grandma's house they know they will always find m&ms in this cup in her room.
Sam gets lots of loving when we go to Utah. Grandma and Grandpa Stromberg do a great job of loving and spoiling this kid. When we arrived for our visit to Grandma & Grandpa Stromberg's house, grandma had some fun new toys to spoil little Sam with. Laser and water guns and lots of yummy food! 
One of Sam's favorite toys to play with there is Dan's old school Sesame Street Little People.
We had lots of fun playing at their house, and we even visited the new fire station up the street, fed ducks at Sugar House Park, had a water fight with grandpa and rode on a carousel.
Sam actually had two visits to a fire station. The second time was with his cousins. My brother-in-law Billy has a relative that is a fire fighter for Orem. He invited us to come and have our own special tour of his station. Lots of fun for the kids. They toured the house, the ambulance, and the fire fighters even hooked up a hose outside and turned it on for them to have the ULTIMATE water fun!

Christian was the lucky one to try on THE desired outfit.
Sam and I were able to be in Utah for Liam's 5th "Transformer" birthday and boy did Sam think that was cool. He is really into the whole super hero thing, be it Transformers, Superman, Batman, Spiderman or as many of the pictures show, fire fighters!
The birthday game of Transformer, Transformer send ? right over!
We had a great time filled with lots of playing, fighting, crying, eating, pretending, laughing, loving and visiting!
