Sad Easter Bunny!  She was not thrilled with anything
on this day!
This easter bunny had PMS!

Finally we got Sadie to smile, when she saw she had a stuffed little bunny in her basket! 

Dying Easter Eggs!  So glad Sadie still enjoys this activity!  Kade doing a little photo bomb!

So much patience and determination to get the perfect EGGS!

Our Easter Build A Bunny we made in our Domestic lil Diva's Class and Sadie planted the wheat grass behind!

Easter was wonderful, & I am so grateful for the knowledge that because of HIM, I can be with my beautiful family for ETERNITY!

Spring Break Camping at the Country Cottage

We went camping over spring break to
Grandma Great's Country Cottage!
We LOVE it there!

We did a little hiking!

We shot the BOW!

We SHOT THE BOW, Some more!

Mitchell and Sadie found the Perfect spot for our Weenie Roast!

We did a lot of 4-wheeler riding!

Mitchell made the fire pit and even started it with ONE match!

We did a little Hot Dog roasting!

LUNCH TIME IN THE HILLS!

WE did not leave empty handed!  Dead EYE DICK, was successful and got 3 jack rabbits!

We love going down to Glenwood to the Country Cottage.  It is so simple and slow paced there.  We love every minute we are there and always hate when we have to leave!

Mitchell's Championship Day Game!

Mitchell's was invited to go play on a Lehi Baseball team down in St. George.  They did Awesome,
and had such a great time.

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THIS CHAMP!

 Happy Happy Birthday Kader!  

We celebrated Kade's 11th birthday with a few of his buddies. We had hotdogs, chips and treats and played Minute to Win it Games!  They were a huge hit, Kade and his buddies all love competition.  

THERE AIN'T NOBODY LIKE A BUDDY!

 Kade decided on a giant peanut butter cookie cake for his birthday this year.  He was pretty excited with what we came up with.

 YUMMY!

 Kade is a JOY to have in our life!  He brings many smiles and laughter to our home on a daily basis.  He keeps us humble. Kade loves life.  He is happy and loves friends and loves keeping busy.  We are so grateful for his fun spirit in our home.  He helps us not to take life to serious, and to remember there is always room for everyone & laughter is KEY to make it in this 

journey we called life!

 HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUDDY!  

WE LOVE YOU TO PIECES!

NEWPORT BEACH, LAST MINUTE GETAWAY

Scott and I decided to take a last minute get away the day after Christmas and 

get out of the cold and into the sun! 

  Newport Beach here we come!

 The weather was BEAUTIFUL, the Beach was a Blast and we thought we were in HEAVEN!

 The kids didn't even hesitate to jump right into the 
freezing cold ocean.  They loved every minute of it!

Mitchell trying to warm up after a chilly dip in the ocean.  While he ate his Subway sandwich he had every seagull in Newport begging for a little crumb!  These little birds are a nuisance!

Of course what is the beach with out a 

little or a lot of wiffle ball?  

The boys had a blast playing in the sand & sun!

 Sadie waiting for the right wave to come in, or maybe for the water to warm up!

 She thought she was a professional surfer!  

She loved, loved the water, even if it was a little chilly!

 Kade and Mitch couldn't get enough!  
We spent 5 entire days at the beach!  

From sun up to sun down!

 Scott trying to coach the kids from the shore!   He finally got brave and got in with the kids!  Not me, I was perfectly content watching from the shore!

 Kade all showered up for the night!

The fun never stopped while we were there!  We didn't want it to ever end! 

Mitch & Kade in front of their dream car!  A blue FERRARI!

 We ended up at the OC Farmers market!  We had the biggest and sweetest strawberries we have ever tasted!  
We endup eating a half a flat in two days!

 Kade and Mitch found a Hummer golf cart
 they thought they would look HOT in!

We had plenty of pool time besides the beach!  

My kids thought they were fish! 

I thought they were going to grow gills!

Mitch looking cool as always! 

Sadie posing for me at the beach!

 Sadie and Mom,  another random Sadie Face!

 Sadie skipping on the beach!  We hadn't had enough beach time, so we decided to go 
eat dinner on the beach!  

 Boys playing a little more beach ball!

 BEACH FAMILY PHOTO OP!  

 Kids waiting to head to the beach!

 One day we rented bikes!  It was so much fun.  We cruised up and down the boardwalk, 
it was truly amazing!

 BEACH COMERS R US!!!

 Sadie digging her way to China!  

This kept her busy for several hours!

FAMILY WALK ALONG THE BEACH!

 STAR FISH WE FOUND!

 RINGING IN THE NEW YEAR IN NEW PORT! New Years Eve, we spent swimming at the hotel, sitting in the hot tub and eating wings, and all sorts of finger foods to ring in the new year!  It was awesome, even though we hit the sack around 11:00 all but Mitchell.  We are party poppers for sure!

 I LOVE MY FAMILY!  

 MITCH TRYING OUT SURFING!  He did awesome!  
A lot harder than it looks!

This was a spur of the moment vacation, 

but one of our families favorite so far!

THE SAMPSON'S SURE LOVE THE

SURF, SAND & SUN   !
