Samantha had two birthday parties. One was at Uncle DJ and Aunt Whitney's house to celebrate Dani, Chloe, DJ and her birthday together. Aunt Whitney made the fun cakes with sparklers!
The next party we did at the farm on her birthday.
Samantha turned 10 and we love having a 10 year old in our house! She is
starting to grow up and her interests are changing with that. She loves
to go to activity days and do the activities there with her friends.
She is good at nearly everything that she tries. She enjoys acting,
singing, sports, and dancing. We wish we could keep up with all those
interests! She is patient with us and allows our budget and schedules to
do one at a time. Samantha loves to read and has found some fun books
to enjoy. She does great in school too and has really enjoyed writing of
all kinds especially poetry and narratives! She is growing her hair out
and is happy that her old bangs blend in completely. This year she did
not get a party with her friends since we have been busy fixing up the farm house. She has been thoughtful of our time. She really loves
the movies Despicable Me and The Parent Trap. Samantha is still playing
the piano and is preparing for our family recital. Samantha keeps track
of our family scripture reading and makes sure we read out of the "big"
ones every Sunday. We love our Samantha girl and are so happy she is
part of our family. She is beautiful, smart, fun and thoughtful. Members
of our ward have said that they are sad since they won't get to
see Samantha at age 16 when she'll make all those boys crazy with how pretty
she'll be. We don't want to rush that! She really has a glow about her!

Oh, Happy Birthday Samantha! I can't believe she is TEN! She is growing up so fast. I still have a tendency to think of her as an adorable four year old. Hope all is going well with the Buckhorn house. We'll definitely have to stop in sometime and see your progress (Besides needing to keep up with you guys).
