Snow bUNnIeS!

We took a family adventure and hit the slopes. Yes ALL 5 of us! The boys have been snowboarding for the last couple of years and have LOVED it. They have been begging me to get out and go, finally we decided to go for it and we put Sadie in Ski School! I have not been for 14 years. My last time was with Scott right before we got married. I always loved to ski, but once we got married we could no afford it and then I had kids and then it was all down hill from there.


Sadie on her SKI'S hitting the BIG SLOPES! Such a natural!

Mitchell LOVES, LOVES, the jumps and was able to get some BIG AIR!

We had a GREAT time. It was a BEAUTIFUL day, I did better than I thought, my boys (including my hot husband) are ROCKSTARS and are fearless on there boards. Sadie LOVED every minute of her ski school, so all and all it was a huge successful day and I am glad we have a fun, family hobby that we can ALL enjoy together during these LONG winter months!

Cousin Time

We were able to spend some fun, quality time with the Sampson's in St. George. The kids had a great time and they never had a dull moment. They had trampoline wars, volley ball tournaments, baseball hitting contests, jumping contests, night games, basketball tournaments, wii tournaments, they were able to catch 2 lizards, played at a great park and ate plenty of yummy homemade food! ( thanks Aunt Mickel)



Thanks Sampson's it was sUPeR dUpER fun! The kids can't wait for you to come up this way for a stay!

McKade had been playing on a Super League Baseball team. He is enjoying baseball very much and has been improving his game and playing very well.

McKade Pitching, he has the SAMPSON TONGUE!


Coach Jason giving Kade a little bit of Coaching advise!


Keep up the HARD work Kade. We love you!

Climbing The RED ROCKS in St. George

We were able to escape down to St. George and spend some time with the Sampson's as well as watch McKade play in his baseball tournament. The kids loved the rocks and trying to explore all the nook and cranny's there were to explore. We came upon these stair looking rocks and the kids thought this was there very favorite spot!



They all climbed up into this cave, everyone thought it was way cool except for Sadie, if you can't tell by her terrified face!

Scott and his princess Sadie!


Just me and my boys! We had a fun few hours of hiking and really enjoyed being outdoors in the sun!

Shoot'n a little HOOP!

Today the boys were out shoot'n a few hoops. They were inventive and found a way to give them a few more inches in the air!
They are both loving basketball right now and really getting good at the game

MARCH winter snow storm.

I think everyone is sick of this white fluffy stuff except MY CHILDREN!
We woke up to 4-5 inches a couple of days a go. I heard all 3 children up at 6:30 AM getting into there snow gear. I gave in and let them go play an hour before school started.




They all 3 love winter and I guess I should be happy they enjoy playing out in that yucky stuff together.

Science Fair Project 2011

Mitchell was stoked to try the science fair out this year. He did an excellent job. His project was to see What Liquids Decayed a Tooth the Fastest or Most?
Lemon Juice ate all the enamel off. Diet Coke turned it black from all the carmel coloring, Orange Juice ate a cavity into the tooth, Milk rotted the tooth and Water had no effect. He found out that WATER if the best for our teeth, with a little of everything else in between.





Congratulations Mitchell for doing so well and learning so much! We love you.
