Dad's Birthday

 Happy 83rd Birthday to my daddy! It was so nice to be with my family tonight. Shelby made and decorated his cake. Her Granny Rose would have been very proud.

Happy 25th Birthday, Matthew!

 The Singing makes him bashful...and the trick candles never get old.

Mothers Birthday

We gathered at the cemetery for a prayer on mother's 83rd birthday. Then a little cake at the Sampson house with Dad. We all miss her terribly. I know she must have been smiling at us from heaven.

Happy 24th Birthday Matthew!

Yesterday (September 25th) was a very special day. It was Matthews 24th birthday! He was so excited all day...he could barely contain himself. We gathered at the new house and had two of his favorite meals (Spaghetti and Pizza) for dinner... and of course a yummy birthday cake complete with the candles that keep relighting.

God truly blessed us with this special young man. Our precious son... who still see's the world through the eyes of a child. Happy Birthday my angel.

A little girl can be sweeter (and badder) oftener than anyone else in the world. she can jitter around, and stomp, and make funny noises that frazzle your nerves yet just when you open your mouth she stands there demure with that special look in her eyes. A girl is Innocence playing in the mud, Beauty standing on its head, and Motherhood dragging a doll by the foot.

Happy 18th Birthday Caleb

Now it really gets fun! You are not going to believe how fast your life is about to start moving! At times life can be really hard, and it is true that there IS a lot of ugliness in this world. I'm pretty sure there always will be. Never allow the ugliness to become all that you see. Keep your eyes wide open and notice the beauty all around you. Listen to and trust that little voice inside of you, always be yourself, Remember that your family loves you, keep God in your life...never forget to pray!

Oh, if by chance you should win the lottery in the future...you really should share it with your parents. :)

P.S. To answer the question you asked...No, using trick candles never gets old! haha
