What would we do without our Samantha?

There is no one quite like Samantha! She is such a mixture of pure girl- but yet has a bit tomboy in her. She loves to be girly- make-up, jewelry, high heels, dresses- but - she HATES to have her hair done. Luckily the bottom of her hair still has the natural curl or she would for sure walk around like a scraggle muffin. The only day that she will put up with getting her hair done is Sunday (and that's only after a threat or two of being left home- ya I'm a mean mom) and that is usually just a clip on the side. This is such a struggle for me considering that I do hair and to boot she has beautiful hair- with so many possibilities! Maybe one day?

She is such a sensitive little thing- always concerned for those around her. She has a massive imagination- always in another world- with crazy little stories- usually ones that she has heard me talk about on the phone or with Mike- but with her own twist. Whenever she wants a treat or something that she thinks that I may not let her have- she come up to me "Mom- who wants this? You- or me- or Collin.......... or me?" She is always listening to all that is going on around her- or in other words she is super nosey! Which I think is payback- considering I had huge ears growing up! She has an incredible memory- a lot like her mom's - full of random info.

Her favorite primary song is "I Love To See The Temple" which any time that we pass a temple- she would make all those in the car sing along with her. It happened all the time in Utah- but not so much around here. - But don't worry it is the automatic choice for family night opening song- so we still get our fill!

She loves to dance and sing- super sassy- and over the summer in Utah she developed this love of getting her picture taken- but with of course-sass. Notice in the pictures- her messy face- I can't for the life of me figure out how she gets her food in the places that she does? But she doesn't seem to mind! Messy face or not- she is my "most favorite" little girl in the world! (that's something that Samantha and I say to eachother- I am her "most favorite mom" in the world- and she is my most favorite girl)
