Amanda and I got to be there to greet our lovely niece Samantha Kylee. We loved her from the start even though she looked like Yoda for a few hours.
Here she is sleeping with her Mommy. She was small and yellow but she was the apple of our eye. Everyone was in love with Samantha. I remember being seriously worried that I wouldn't love my own children as much as I loved my Sammo.
The famous potato picture. Granted, it was a big potato.
She was seriously the funnest baby. She was so smart and so happy and would do all kinds of tricks.
When our Jeffey came along I found out that I could love my babies as much as I loved her. And she quickly became Jeffey's FAVORITE, always. She is a wonderful big cousin to him, I think it is because she was so kind to him that he has always been kind to his littler cousins.
She makes the best faces.
It's crazy that the little dude in the picture is now serving a mission and that the little chick is a teenager! Aack!
She makes me smile.
She is beautiful and taller than her Mom (although that's not hard to do), she is still super smart and kind and a shining example to her younger brothers and sister and innumerable cousins. We love you Sammo! We are looking forward to watching you do more nifty tricks.

AWWW happy birthday sammo!!!!!! She is growing up so fast!
such a cute post! I can't believe that she is already that old! I LOVE the top photo of you & Amanda-so sweet-sure joy.
Allison you are wonderful to post this great tribute to our darling Samantha! I hope she will see it too!
I love that beautiful young woman! 13 on the 13th. Her star birthday.
No question - Sam is a sweetheart!
Happy Belated B-day Sam! You really were the smartest 4 yr old I ever met. Still a crazy smart teenager too:) Loves, Tess and crew
I still love how she knew all the animal sounds before her first birthday and would so sweetly meow for a cat and ruff for a dog but her sheep sound was an evil deep BAAA! It was a little scary.
I loved that girl too, I had her mom in YW and Sam in Nursery. She was extra smart. I see her on Sundays with her little bro and sis. She is amazing. This was extra special of you to write Alli.
Sam, you're awesome! You set a high standard for your cousins. We think you're a peach!
Allison you really are great! I thought it was so nice of you to do this for her (since her own mom didn't.) she really is a wonderful girl.
Thanks everyone else for the sweet words.
Ps David means Linz
