Fish & Fun @ Fish Lake!

We finally were able to get down to Fish Lake this summer before school started. It was super fun, we were able to catch more fish than we have ever caught before and the weather and atmosphere were both wonderful.

Sadie was always willing to hold the boys fish for them and also willing to bait a pole with a worm when needed.

Kade with a his BIG PERCH CATCH! We were able to catch and release hundreds of these little critters.

Everyone waiting for the fish to bite on the hooks!

Kade working on his patience. No he not so good at the patient thing. He was always moving around and looking for a new spot to fish.

Sadie and our cute neighbor girls have had tons of FUN in the backyard this summer. They are such cute girls and have so much fun when they get together and can just be SILLY GIRLS!




Oh, to only be a kid again!

SWEET AIR!

Kade was out riding his bike and I was able to catch some of his SWEET AIR action he was able to get off his ramps.





He is a little dare devil and really can get some AIR when he flies off those ramps!

Look mom, no WHEELS! (training wheels that is)

Teaching Sadie how to rider her bike without training wheels was on our "TO DO LIST" this summer. We have been extremely busy this summer with the boys activities, so teaching Sadie how to ride a bike has been on the back burner. Sadie came in last week while Scott was out of town and told me she wanted her training wheels off. I was not really in the mood to deal with the bike thing right then, but I decided to go ahead and take off the training wheels. 15 minutes later, Kade and Sadie came in the house and told me I needed to come outside. Kade was MR. PATIENT and had taught his little sister how to ride her bike without the training wheels. I don't know who was more excited, Kade or Sadie. It was such a fun teaching moment for both of them.



Scott came home to a big surprise and she is riding like a crazy woman all over the roads. Thanks Kade , and Sadie, Mom and Dad are super PROUD of YOU!

Sampson Reunion @ Island Park!

We were able to spend a fun week up in Island Park with Scott's family. It was such a fun and relaxing trip. The kids played from sun up to sun down and still didn't want to go to sleep when the lights went out. We were able to go horse back riding, fish,fish and fish some more, catch frogs and pollywogs at the pond, go canoeing, drive into Yellowstone experience Old Faithful, float the Snake River and spend a lot of fun, quality time laughing and chatting with each other.












Island Park was simply a perfect get away for the whole family. It was so beautiful there. The mountains were so green and all the wildflowers were still in full bloom. The weather was wonderful and the air was crisp. It was a fantastic time and a memory that will last a lifetime.

BEAR world! grRRRRrrrRRRRrr!

Lone Peak takes 2nd in the REGION!

I don't think you could have a better season than Kade had this year. Kade was able to play with a GREAT team and learned a lot and had a lot of FUN along the way.
McKade's team fought hard till the very end! Lone Peak took 2nd in the Western Region. It was such a awesome experience.
They were able to play teams all over the west. Nevada, California, Arizona, Idaho and Utah.
Bakersfield, California came out on top and took 1st place.
Highland, Utah came in at a close 2nd. Good job Lone Peak
Oakland, California came in 3rd.
It was a fun tournament and a great way to end the BASEBALL season.




WE OUR PROUD of you KADE! Way to go BUDDY!
