Happy 5th Birthday, Sam!

So he's five now.  Wow.  Time has flown by.  Sam was very excited about his party at "ninja school".  He got to invite some friends and had so much fun!

Happy Halloween 2015

River Museum

We visited the River Museum and Aquarium in Dubuque, IA.  It was a lot of fun!  It is also a really pretty area for pictures so I got my fair share of awesome pics of Sam. 

Bloomsbury Farm

Grammy and Grampa were visiting Iowa and we took them to the pumpkin patch.  It was cold but Sam still had lots of fun.

He did NOT want to take a pic with the pumpkins at all.

Swamp Fox Run 2015

Sam ran the Swamp Fox kiddie mile again this year.  He was really looking forward to it.

Parade after the race!

Soccer

Sam's friend, Henry, was playing soccer this fall and his mom asked if we'd want to sign up so the boys could play together.  Since we switched preschools, we don't get to see Henry very often.  This was a great way to get the boys together once a week.  Bonus:  Sam LOVES to play soccer!

When it was time to partner up, Sam and Henry immediately grabbed hands.  So, so sweet!

Cedar Rapids Kernels

We took Sam to see the Kernels play.  He made it through all 9 innings and it was a great day!  It could only have been better if the Kernels had won.  

The guy sitting behind us managed to get the attention of one of the players as they were running off the field and the player tossed him a ball.  He was so sweet and immediately gave it to Sam.  Sam was so excited!
