HAPPY 8TH BIRTHDAY SAMANTHA!!

Well my oldest baby is 8! I can hardly believe it. We have been celebrating for quite a while now. A couple of weeks ago we went to Grandpa and Grandma's for dinner and cake and ice cream. We had a great time!
On Wednesday we had another party with just mom, dad, Sammy, and Andrew. Ryan was leaving for Bulgaria and wouldn't be here on her birthday. Ry and the kids went to a local museum while I went to a job interview and then we all went black-light mini-golfing. Then finished the night having dinner at Golden Corral.
Here she is opening a couple of presents.
These are the "blendy pens" she got from Andrew.
This one she is trying to figure out what it is; I got tickets for her and I to go to a concert here in town. She really likes Mark Wills and he is one of the singers that will be there.

Then Friday she had a couple of friends over and we went swimming and then one of her friends spent the night. Today was her actual birthday and Mom and I took the kids and went to the movie "The Flyboys" a film that was filmed here in Southern Utah, it was actually a very good movie, not totally appropriate for kids (it is rated PG 13, and it got a little scary for them) but they really liked it and it kept even Sammy's attention for the whole 2 hours. That is really saying something because she is not much of a TV or movie person. After about an hour she is generally bored and ready to be done. Then Grandpa Barlow came to town and took us all out to dinner at Golden Corral, AGAIN!! She really got spoiled and she still has the concert to look forward to and her baptism, no set date on that yet. We didn't get any pictures today because Ry took the camera AND camcorder to Bulgaria! But we had a few from the previous fun.
