Super Sam turns one!

Can you believe this guy turned one?! I can't, but just look at that sweet face, he turned 1 on Friday. A year ago at this time we had major flooding and it took Mike 3 hours to make a 20 mile trip. This year we've had crazy storms, so perhaps Sam's bday will always coincide with some weather incidents...We had a nice family celebration on Friday night as we prepared for the arrival of our friends Meera and Jason from California with their 3 year old twins Kali and Kirin.
Noah picked out a special toy for his brother. No shocker here, it's Captain America. I think someone is hoping his younger brother shares with him...
Then yesterday (Saturday) we had the big party. We didn't go theme crazy, but we did sport the Superman shirts for our Super Sammy!
We did get a respite from the rain for awhile so the kids could rock the slip n slide.
Kirin played with the silly sprinkler as well. It was SO humid but the kids loved being out in the yard.
Inside the little babies played together and entertained the crowd.
The big boys Fred, Kirin, and Noah trashed his room and told "spooky" stories. Not sure how well thought out the stories were, but at least they had fun.
All the kids at Sam's party from left to right: Nick (Spiderman), Sam, Francesca, Calvin, Evie, Fred, Noah, Kirin, and Kali. Whew, I can't believed we managed to get them all in a picture.
Some awesome parenting going on by the lot of us. It's not like he had a bottle opener, sheesh!
Big Man gets his smasher cake, provided by Bamma (my mom). He was all about it, as he loves to eat.
It's so pretty, but I must dig in. There was some close supervision by Noah and the rest of the kid crew.
Daddy helps him shovel some in. He was a VERY happy boy to get his own cake.

The ice cream cake the rest of us enjoyed!
Nick sports his mom's shoes. This picture will come in handy in about...oh...seven years!
Hard to believe a short 2 years ago we were celebrating Noah's first birthday in this same house.
Sam and his Godparents, Cliff and Philie. He is so white he could almost be their child, right?
Uncle Cliff, I love you...
He was a very lucky boy and received some great gifts. Including his own Spiderman shirt.
Not to be left out, Noah got his own Superman shirt with cape included.
Sam with Uncle Josh and Tia Tia.
Superman rocks the fleece Mickey crocs while stealing some Cheetos. He looks so big!
My muscle men. The day was fabulous, the night was fun, and we're all enjoying a calm morning with lots of new toys. Thanks to all who came, we had a wonderful time!
