3 year old BIRTHDAY WISHES!

SHE IS 3! No, I cannot believe it! She has been counting down the days for quite a while now. This is the first year she really knew that it was her birthday! All she wanted for her birthday is for everything to be PINK!

Pink Cake, Pink Balloons, Pink Clothes, Pink Stroller!

She enjoyed every minute of her birthday and she truly was the PINK PRINCESS for the day!

WE LOVE YOU SADIE BUG!

HAPPY 3rd BIRTHDAY!

"MY" big surprise!

12 years and counting! Scott and I just celebrated our 12th year anniversary. He had it all planned, but he didn't let me in on the secret. I kept asking him what are we doing for our anniversary? should I get a babysitter? should we go to dinner or stay the night somewhere? He was playing it cool and just kept brushing me off. Well, finally 2 days before My big surprise he gave me a poem! YES, Scott wrote me a poem and it said he had a 4 day trip planned and the babysitters were taken care of! I was SHOCKED to say the least. I packed not knowing where he was taking me or the kids.

We got up and we took the kids to grandpa's and grandma's and we drove to the airport! I did not know where we were going, until the curbside checkin said, 2 roundtrip tickets to NEW YORK! I really was stunned!

We had such a wonderful time. We were able to see everything we wanted and had a ton a fun just being together!

The statue of Liberty was amazing up close, The amount of people that were in New York was overwhelming and the lights and the sky scrapers were unbelievable! New York was truly amazing. Our hotel was right in Time Square so it was a party going on all night long.
Scott and I have had a wonderful past 12 years. Sometimes it is hard to believe that it has only been 12 years and on the other hand it seems just like yesterday that we fell in love.

He is a keeper and I am glad I had a best friend to spend the eternities with! LOVE YOU BABE!

We all had a fun time in St. George for Grandma's 60th surprise party and don't forget we got to PLAY, PLAY, PLAY with all the Sampson cousins. The kids couldn't get enough of each other, they played from sun up till sun down. You can never get enough water fun when you hit St. George, we did plenty of that and we all had a great time, Thanks Shaun and Mickel for hosting the GREAT party!

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.

RED ROCKS IN ST.GEORGE

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!
