Seth's mom gave me a wonderful idea for me to dress up as a mouse. Since she was a kitty cat. So I found me some mouse ears, a gray sweat suit and some face paint. I think it all came together quite nice. :)

Trick or Treating
Seth and I took Samantha trick or treating for the very first time on Halloween. We just went around Grandma and Grandpa's neighborhood. We only made it to about 7 houses then it got way too cold so we turned around and went back to Grandma and Grandpa's house.

Pumpkin Patch
On Samantha's birthday we(Great Grandma, Grandma, Aunt Lisa and Noah) took her to the pumpkin patch to pick out her pumpkin. It was her first time to go to one. She totally loved it. The kids ran around, played in the corn bin, sliding down a big slide(over and over again), riding on some rides. We didn't get to do everything that was available. But it was awesome to see everyone have such a great time.
Samantha's 1st Birthday Party
We had Samantha's birthday party on Saturday, October 9th. It was incredible!! We couldn't of asked for a more beautiful day. Not one cloud in the sky and very hot to boot. I know, Iowa+October+Hot=Never happens! lol. But it did happen and it was all for Samantha.
We had it at the City Park in Iowa City. There was about 25-30 guests that showed up. Which was wonderful! I was expecting to be disappointed in the turn out. But, everyone that said they were coming, did. And the best guest of all was, PePa! My dad came all the way from Pittsburg to attend to her party. The last time he saw her, she was about 3 months old. It was great to see Samantha and my father together again.
We started the party off by eating, of course. The food was wonderful! Thanks to Seth's mom!!!! :)
Then Samantha got to dig into her cake. She LOVED it. She dug right in. It was so adorable to watch. She even gave me a little taste of it. :) The cakes turned out good. Her little cake was white and it was suppose to be chocolate. But oh well. She loved it anyway.
Everyone just hung out, chit chatted and played. It was a blast!
Samantha is so blessed to have so many people in her life that love her unconditionally. I hope she enjoyed her day!!

To Our Birthday Girl
Teddy bears and seas of blue
Smiling in honor of you
An infant, not long ago
Now, one candle is aglow
You are growing up so fast
How quickly a year has passed
You are special, sweet, and wise
A present before our eyes.
For a year, I’ve watched you shine
An angel I can call mine
Sent from Heaven, just for me
Filled with hope and dignity
A blessing, now and always
You brighten all of my days
Precious child, I love you so
More than anyone could know.
Baby’s breath and sun-filled skies
Ladybugs and lullabies
Starry nights and bright moonbeams
Tender hearts and lasting dreams
Each, a gift within your view
During this time, made for you
May only good things come your way
On this, your very first birthday.
With all our love
Mommy & Daddy

Busy...Busy...Busy
Tomorrow will be the start of a VERY busy couple of weeks.
Tomorrow we'll be doing our family photos and Samantha's 1 year photos with http://www.identity-photography.com/! This woman took pictures of Samantha about a month ago and I loved every single picture. She does wonderful work. I'm soooo excited to see how these pictures will turn out. I can't wait!
I have to work a couple days next week.
Amanda(Seth's cousin) is coming to town for Samantha's birthday party on Thursday. We can't wait to see her.
We pick up my dad(Pepa) at the airport Friday evening. We are completely ecstatic about that!! We all cannot wait to see him!!
Then Saturday is Samantha's big day! Her 1st birthday party! We're not sure how many people will be there but we're excited to see everyone who decides to come and join us on this very special day! I'm curious to see how her cake will turn out. I'm putting all my trust on hy-vee's shoulders. For food we'll be serving shredded bbq beef sandwiches, chips and we'll have punch. The theme of her party is just flowers, butterflies and bright colors. I wasn't too thrilled of any of my 1st birthday theme selections. I thought this was the best of them all. It's going to be a long but wonderful day!
Next week...
Samantha's birthday is on Monday the 11th at 8:56AM! I'm not sure what we will do on her actual birthday. Maybe we'll go to the pumpkin patch or the zoo, or we'll just stay home and hang out.
Samantha's 1 year check up is on Tuesday. I'm afraid she will be getting quite a few shots that day. :o( Hopefully we'll get the doctors okay to start her on cows milk. I'm excited to not pay $20 for formula anymore. I think $3 sounds so much better!
Then Saturday another round of pictures. We're doing more family pictures and more 1 year photos. I know...Call me crazy for having so many pictures done. But I'm obsessed about getting pictures taken of Samantha. I just love to see how they turn out and how gorgeous they always look.

I'm not ready
Even though I'm so proud of my beautiful daughter. I'm not ready to have a 1 year old running around here. I just can't believe Samantha will be 1 in a couple of weeks!
I remember this ...like it was yesterday!
I miss having a itty bitty baby. Even though I'll admit it, I said I couldn't wait until she was old enough to play with and chase after. I miss the baby cuddles and the cute little first smiles and laughs. But the little baby has grown into an all-over-the-place toddler. Did I just say toddler?? Wow! I never thought I'd be saying that my baby is a toddler.
I seriously can't stress how amazing this little girl is. She's just so intelligent, funny, sweet, generous, beautiful, pure and did I mention AMAZING?!? She has filled 1 year with so much laughter, silliness, loads of smiles, some tears but mainly over-loaded it with so much love!
