CAMPING, DIRT AND FOUR WHEELING

Feeding the horses at Grandma Greats home was a big hit for the kids, especially Sadie.

THIS IS A PICTURE OF PURE HAPPINESS!


Our family LOVES smores. We have our own speciality! You use the cracker and the marshmallow and WE add a reese's p-nut butter cup! It is pure HEAVEN! If you like smore's you will have to try this little Sampson Secret! You will be wanting more than just one, I PROMISE!


THE KIDS COULD NOT GET ENOUGH OF RIDING THE 4-WHEELER! There was never a dull moment! Pure Dirty FUN!


SADIE WAS SO GOOD TO ALWAYS WEAR HER HELMET! She looks so cute!


The BOYS loved being BOYS and played until they could no longer play!


SADIE AND THE BOYS AFTER A LONG RIDE ON THE WHEELERS!

3,2,1 BLASTOFF!

Scott and the boys are trying to find a hobby! They decided to build rockets to launch. It took them about a month from start to finish and the end results were amazing! We were able to count down from 10 and Mitchell pushed the button for the big launch!

Both rockets launched successfully and Kade's went so high we lost track of it for a few minutes.

It was very exciting, but Scott is not to sure if he wants to continue to be a rocketeer for his future HOBBY!

SADIE growing like a FlOwEr!

Our little Sadie is growing like a FLOWER! Everyday she has a new word to add to her vocabulary and she has just a little more attitude to go along with it. How long does the attitude last? She is truly a JoY to have in our home. The boys love her to pieces yet, get frustrated that she seems to get everything she wants.

She brings a smile to my face each day and she LOVES to shop and be out and about! FINALLY! I have waited for a little shopping friend for 9 years now. Hope it lasts a lifetime.

EASTER 2009!

Easter is such a wonderful time of the year. It is a time to reflect on what our Savior Jesus Christ did for ALL of us. And usually by now Spring is on its way. I love the smells of spring, the colors of spring and all that SPRING has to offer. I just hope it gets here before SUMMER does!

AM I REALLY SEEING WHITE?

We woke up to SNOW YESTERDAY! Scott and I almost packed our bags and headed SOUTH! The kids were so excited. Mitchell was excited to play in it when he got back from school. I told him it would all be melted before he got home. I was WRONG! All 3 of them put on a hat and headed out. They played for about an hour and then came in with Big Rosy Cheeks and looking for HOT COCO! We didn't get to drink much of that in California.
Later that night, Kade told me that Mitchell had been praying for snow, ever since we got here to UTAH! The lord answered his prayers once again.

Whale Watching!

Whale Watching was a blast! The kids had such a great time and we were able to see so much wildlife, at one time we were able to see over 30 whale in one spot! It was a little chilly, but well worth the time and money! Yet, another GREAT MEMORY of CALIFORNIA!

I didn't get many pictures do to Kade getting a little sea sick half way through the trip!

Kade's Last Big Day in the Dirt Lot!

The dirt lot was the place to be for my boys! We were so blessed to have it right behind our house for 2 years! So much fun, So many memories!

Our Quick Fix to Newport!

We decided to head down to Newport for one last quick fix before we move.  We ALL love Newport and it is a quick day get away for our family.  Mitchell entertained us all by burring himself in a hole, while we put crackers on him seeing how close all the birds would come.

Sadie was the cracker replenisher!  

This little pigeon was getting up close and personal with Mitchell.

The Seagull is coming in for a landing, to taste a cracker!

Mom and Mitchell, enjoying our time at the beach, and wondering if we really want to leave the sand and the sun!

Kade and Sadie enjoying getting dirty!

Newport, Don't miss us, WE WILL BE BACK FOR

 A Visit SOONER THAN YOU Know it! 

HAPPY 6th BIRTHDAY KADE!

Kade turned 6.  Wow he is growing up on me so quickly!  He had a fun filled few days!  His birthday fell on Sunday this year, which he was not very thrilled with so we partied for 3 days, so he got really spoiled.

Kade's request this year was a BMX dirt bike cake!  This is what I came up with.  He was thrilled, so I was happy!

He woke up at 7:00 am to open gifts on Sunday, before Scott and I had to head out for meetings.  He is a great kid.  He loves life and loves anything outdoors, and anything where there is people involved.  We are proud of him and so glad he keeps us humble and is a part of our family!  WE LOVE YOU B UDDY!  Love MOM & DAD
