SAMPSON'S HIT THE SLOPES!

 Scott and I decided to hit the slopes with the kids.  The day was perfect!  It was chilly but the sun was out and we had a fabulous day. Sadie spent the day in Ski school and has now graduated and will be skiing with the family from here on out.

 Scott and I had a blast and spent our time trying to keep up with our BOYS!

 Meeting Sadie for lunch!  We were a little chilly and it was fun to pick her up and spend an hour with her for lunch before she headed back to class.  She loved every minute of ski school and can't wait until she gets to hit the BIG MOUNTAIN with the family!
 WE ARE SO PROUD OF HER!

Kade trying to get a little air off a jump he found coming out of the trees!

 We all had a wonderful time and loved being out on the mountain together as a family!
I think this picture tells it all.  Sadie gave it her all and she was pooped, she was out before we even got her out of the parking lot.  KADE snuggled her and tried to warm her up!

WE LOVE SKIING AND SNOWBOARDING!

Silent Night!

I was trying to capture of few good pictures of the kiddos for a Christmas Card.  It was bigger chore than I was anticipating.  We only took pictures for about 5 min in the basement, I was sweating by the time we were done and my patients was GONE!  They look all Innocent in a few of these pictures but the bottom few shows basically how the 5 minute photo shoot went. Finally I told them I would make their favorite treat for them if they would work with me and give me one good photo.  That is when I decided to put tape on the their mouth and my Christmas card was invented:

Mitchell thinking his mom is crazy!

Kade trying to make me SMILE!  It worked!

SILENT NIGHT!

 I really needed some duct tape, but of course somebody had used it all so blue painters tape had to do.  They were very good sports and it ended up turning out great!

 This is how 4 minutes of the shoot went it felt like 2 hours!

MERRY CHRISTMAS 2012!
