SADIE SAMPSON TURNS SEVEN!

SADIE TURNS SEVEN!!!!

 Sadie has been counting down the days until she turned seven.  She loves loves loves her birthday, and we hear about it quite often.  She actually starts planning and talking about it after christmas!  

 Sadie loves crepes, strawberries and cream.  Put them all together and you have the Perfect breakfast according to Sadie.  She said its her new birthday tradition.  

Sadie decided on having a Flip Flop Birthday Party!  She had a few friends over for her party.  We decorated flip flops, played water games and ate some her favorite treats!  Strawberries, Watermelon, grapes and chicken n' bisket crackers!  She had a blast! 

 Sadie and her darling friends!

 Crazy Girls!

 Sadie also had her cake planned out to a tea.  No cake, just her favorite doughnuts stacked on top of each other!  A sugar high for sure & Sadie was all smiles, her brothers and dad were pretty happy too!

 Grandma and Grandpa Sampson came over to help 

celebrate the special day!

Grandma and Grandpa Degelbeck also came over.

Sadie had a wonderful birthday and she wished it never had to end.  We are so grateful for Sadie in our family.  We love her spunky little attitude and she keeps us smiling and is always willing to help out when she is needed.  We love you PRINCESS!

HAPPY 7th BIRTHDAY!!!!

NO MORE TEACHERS DIRTY LOOKS!

Mitchell graduated from 6th grade!  No more elementary school for him! He also received the Golden Eagle award in his 6th grade class.  I am mixed emotions about him growing up.  I loved having all my kids at one school, but I know he is growing up and ready for the next step in life.  Jr. High here he comes!

We love you bud, and we are so proud of your accomplishments during your elementary years!

TOOTHLESS SMILE!

Sadie was all SMILES, she finally 

lost her 1st tooth!

It was cute, she pulled it out herself and was so happy and excited she wanted a picture right away,  I took the picture and of course she wanted to see it, when she looked she kind of gasped and said, "Oh I kind of look funny"  1st tooth and many more to come.

FAMILY ROAD TRIP TO DENVER, COLORADO!

Scott had to do some work in Colorado & he has been on the road a ton the past few months so we decided to make a family trip & go to work with him, of course we played a little a long the way.

Scott took us to have a tour of the Colorado Rockies Baseball Stadium.  The boys were thrilled and Sadie and I were good sports!

Our Family Road trip to Denver was Awesome.  We had a ton of fun and it was so nice to be away from the hussel & bussel of everyday life & to laugh and have fun together.
We will for sure be going to work with Scott a lot more often.

Memorable Mothers Day!

Mothers Day is just another day at our house, but this year Scott and the kids made a picnic, took me to the park, hand wrote some LOVE letters and even let me take a few snapshots of them.  They are not really into me taking pictures,  but since it was Mothers Day, they flattered me and went a long with it. (for about 2 minutes)

 I am so grateful to be the MOTHER of these 3 beautiful faces!  They bring me laughter as well as tears but I am grateful for each one of them.

 Sadie lets me take pictures of her and she is such a doll and I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father who gave me a daughter.

Mitchell is growing up way to fast and such a wonderful young man.  I am grateful for his example and how he always tries to do his very best in everything he does.  

Kade brings the party into our family.  He takes nothing to serious and is always trying to make us smile. He is also really good at photo bombing all of our pictures. 

Sadie found some red tuplips to pose by, and she was so excited to have me take her picture by them.

 This is Sadie trying to give her DAD a little more shade for his in the park NAP!

 BEAUTIFUL!

 Mitchell was enjoying the wind blowing in his face on the drive home, he looked so peaceful  and handsome I had to take a picture.

I am so GRATEFUL for my beautiful family and so grateful that they get to call me MOM!

Sadie LOVES Soccer!

SADIE LOVES SOCCER!

Sadie was thrilled to start up soccer once again. It's hard to believe her season is already over.  Her team did great and they improved a lot from the fall. Sadie did very well and made at least (1) goal every game.  She loved going to her games, they were the highlight of her weak.

Sadie going for the BIG GOAL!  

 Can't wait for next season to start!  

We love you Sadie.
