THE SAMPSONS HOME HAS GROWN BY 4 FEET!

After many many years of tears, begging, pleading, letter writing, texting, negotiating, Scott gave in and decided he didn't want to be the Dad that never lets his kids have a dog.  Who would have thought? 

Introducing:
NIKE SAGE SAMPSON
THE DOG HOUSE FOR THIS SPECIAL PUP!
MANY HOURS OF LOVE on this SWEET HOUSE!



NIKE'S FIRST DAY HOME!

TOWEL TIME!
YES!  KADE even thinks the DOG is adorable!  

Nike is going to be a very LOVED dog!  The kids are super excited for our new adventure.  I am sure we will have a love/hate relationship with this little guy, but I must say he is pretty darn cute and Scott has even been caught a time or two playing outside with him while no one is watching!

Here's to many many more MEMORIES with NIKE!

VALENTINES DAY GETAWAY!

This year we spent our Valentines Day down in Glenwood with the Kiddos!  The weather was beautiful and once again we had an amazing and relaxing time.
 We were able to go on the Ranger and 4 wheelers all over in the hills of Glenwood.   We found a perfect spot to have our Valentines Day hot dog roast.  Due to the crazy warm weather we have had, we had our first weenie roast of the year.  The kids were able to do a little target shooting and we spent the day laughing, riding and getting super duper muddy! IT WAS AWESOME!


Mitchell made us a little fire to roast our dogs on.  It was perfect!
Sadie trying to cook her dog to PERFECTION!

I like my hotdogs burnt to a crisp!  

Target Shooting at its finest!

DEAD EYE DICK!
