HI HO, HI HO off to ScHOoL they Go!

Sadie and I taking our picture on the 1st day of school! No tears for this moma, maybe next year when I send my baby and my buddy off! Today it was all smiles and quite peaceful at our home.

Mitchell and McKade all smiles for the 1st day! They woke up bright and early. If only this enthusiasm lasted the whole year through.

Issac, McKade and Mitchell off to school! They love their neighbor buddy!



The kids are officially back in school! I loved having them home for the summer, but all good things must come to an end. RIGHT!

CALIFORNIA DREAM'N!

Enjoying the sun on the Santa Monica Pier!


The kids trying to get there hands on a few more SAND CRABS!


Our Camarillo Neighbors, who we Miss and Love so much! Thanks for letting us come over and hang out for a while just like the good old days.



GOT SAND CRABS?

Scott, enjoying the SURF, SAND and SUN!

Our BARLOW BUDDIES!!!

Mckade with his "CUTE" buddies. We sure miss you already!

We were able to go and visit Camarillo and what a wonderful trip we had. We are so fortunate to have had the opportunity to live there and have our paths cross with so many wonderful families. Our family has truly been blessed from each person we knew in Camarillo. Visiting was a bitter sweet experience for our whole family. We all were a little homesick when we got there and didn't really want to leave. We were able to see and do so much while we were there and had such a great time with everyone we were able to see. DON'T WORRY WE WILL BE BACK!

ONE Lucky GUY!

Scott truly has a WONDERFUL job, and with his job he has many many perks. This past week he was able to meet and eat Lunch with the Dodgers head coach Joe Torre and the hitting coach Don Mattingly. He got to go into the locker room, the dug out, on the field and go anywhere behind the scenes he basically wanted to go. He said was a once in a lifetime opportunity and a experience he will always remember.

Take Us Out To The BALLGAME Dodger's Style!

We were so lucky and were able to catch a Dodger's Game while we were in Southern California. We met some of our GREAT friends down there and we all sat in the All YOU CAN EAT SECTION and had quite the time. By the time we left I think we were all sticky from head to toe and filled to the brim with Dodger Dogs, Nacho's, Popcorn, Peanuts and Soda! What a fun night we will ALWAYS remember.

A little R&R in Park City

Our beautiful view from our pool.

Kade enjoying a little refreshing water from the waterfall

Scott and I played Minute to Win It and it came down to the 2 of us being in the finals. The last challenge was to stack 3 golf balls on top of each other and have them stay for 5 seconds! We struggled and could only get two. It takes a steady hand and lots and lots of patience, Scott and I lack both.

Sadie, Kade and Mitchell tried out the Jump-O-Line, they all did well and the boys were even able to get a few flips in.


The boys played a Frozen T-Shirt contest. They had to try to thaw out a frozen t-shirt and only use the water from the pool for 5 seconds only 4 times and then the first person to put the T-shirt on WON. They came in a close 2nd place. They had a lot of fun trying to defrost the frozen t-shirt.

The kids loved hanging out in the pools. We had a lot of fun spending time together. We all enjoyed the activities on the mountain, Zip Line, The Roller Coaster and the Alpine Slide. We were able to go to the Theater and see Toy Story 3 in 3D and we ate plenty of yummy food and spent a lot of time Resting and Relaxing and playing games.

Oh What Do You Do In The Summertime.....

The kids are having such a fun and eventful summer. We are always trying new adventures and trying to stay cool. This is all the cousins except 2 boys on the Degelbeck side. Hanging with the cousins, doesn't get much better than this.

Look at all those BOYS! AAHHHHHHH!

One thing Mitchell wanted to do this summer is to for sure have a Lemon Aid stand. Finally, I gave in and he made Cookies and Lemon Aid and set out to sell his heart out.


It has been a HOT summer the last few weeks. Scott got creative and made the kids a homemade Slip N Slide. It was super fun. Scott and I even tried it out a few times. Nothing like playing in the sprinklers to keep you "COOL" during the "HOT" summer. They played for hours and hours and we had many laughs watching Scott flip and slide all the way down.




I love SUMMERTIME BUMS on little kids. Sadie will hate me for this picture one day, but I love it! So Cute & Innocent.

4th of July = Food, Fireworks, Fish Grab, Family & Fish Lake

We spent our 4th of July weekend down in Fish Lake and then went down into Glenwood for a Sampson family reunion. Fish lake was beautiful as always and the kids had a fun time playing, riding the Ranger and catching fish.

Glenwood with family and cousins was a big hit for my kids. They enjoyed every minute of being with the cousins. Mitchell's favorite part was sleeping outside with cousins in ONE big tent and the Fish grab at the park. Mckade loved hanging out with ALL the cousins & riding 4 wheelers & Sadie liked the firework show and playing house & eating breakfast with Grandpa and Grandma every morning.

We had a great time, we ate lots of yummy food, spent a lot of time with family talking and laughing and we were able to top off a great weekend with a mean game of kick ball & a great Firework show in Richfield.

Look who's 4!

Sadie has been counting down the days until she turned 4 years old. Well the anticipated day finally arrived and it was truly fun to see Sadie's excitement throughout the day. She even was able to have a Princess tea party/swimming pool party with a few neighbor girls and a couple cousins. I had the party for 3 hours and at first I thought we might have a little drama with all the princesses in the house, but it went off without a hitch and we had smiles the entire time. We did glitter toes, played games, ate a tea party lunch, decorated water bottles, opened gifts, swam and decorated cupcakes. It was a huge success and Sadie loved every minute with her cute, cute friends.

We love Sadie and her spunky attitude and so grateful she is in our family to keep us all in line!
Happy Birthday PRINCESS we love you!
