Look who's 6

We had a Dora, Dora birthday. Aby just turned 6 and she was so excited. It took us all day to convince her that she is now 6 not 5. Still a work in progress.

All the kids thought they were so cool especially Weston.

We are trying to sing Happy Birthday, but Aby thought she should dance a jig first.

After two hours of going up and down the water slide we had to call it quite time. She loves parties.

Caprise is quit the little fish.

Look how cute these babies are. Kylee loved the water and her prepared mother made sure she had a swimming suit and water diaper (HA-HA). Poor Logan was so cold but would not give up or come out! Beautiful babies. Beau was asleep in Papa's arms the whole time because he was to sick to play.

Aby loves her uncle Brett.

Halloween

Happy Halloween! We had a great time. Maddy, Jordan, Weston, Aby and Beau looked so cute. The only part that sucked was missing Dixon and his mom and dad. Maybe next year! Aby did so good this year. I think it was the first time she did not panic or get over stimulated. She got more candy then everyone combined. She keeps grabing out of the candy dish when they are not looking. Pretty smart. Grammy and Papa came down to St. George and enjoyed watching the kids trick or treat. It was so much fun. I can't wait until Christmas.

Beau finally stopped crying and screaming "SCARY WES". He is so much like his dad! Weston had to keep his distance for a few hours until Beau realized it was not a real monster.

Thank goodness for Bri! Those long arms are so helpful.

Autism Fund Raiser

WE DID IT!!!!!! About a year ago I signed up with an orginization called Autism Speaks. They raise money for research into a cure and cause for autism. The closest walk or run is in Las Vegas on December 1st. I signed up our family and agreed to donate $500.00. Well as most of you have noticed the real estate market has been crashing, so needless to say finances have become tight. I wonderful women in my ward suggested selling Navajo Tacos as a fund raiser. Well after months of planning and work we pulled it off. I had so many wonderful angels that helped. My friends and family never left my side. All together we raised close to $4,000.00 dollars. I had so many amazing experiences while doing this and I know Gods hand was involved in each and every one of them. THANK You to all who help with countless donated hours of service. I LOVE YOU ALL!

We took our family to the Stahli corn maze for family night. It is right down the street from our house. The kids love it. We went on a tractor ride that takes you into the maze. Once you are inside of the corn maze it gets very dark. Weston and Beau are big chicken's and stay very close to mom and dad. Aby on the other hand thinks she is heaven because it is easy to get away and very hard to find her. At least we didn't have to shut the corn maze down this year with the search rescue team. That was last years event. This year they had Star War's characters and Beau was horrified of them. We still don't know how we got this picture.

Weston's Football

Wes had another game on Saturday. He did a great job. He scored his first touchdown. There were a lot of fumbles. The ref did not know what off sides ment. The other team had an enormous kid that keep creaming my child. I asked the apposing coach for a birth certificate. He did not think I was funny.

Swimming in Hotel Pool

After the circus was over we let the kids go swimming. Weston is a wild man. Aby tries to follow. Madison should have been born with gills and Beau does everything with caution and just keeps telling you "SCARY".

Our trip to the Circus

Our trip to the circus was a real trip to the circus not our everyday life. Grammy and Papa took our three kids and Maddie to Salt Lake to see Barnom and Bailey. Brian and I tagged along to help. The drive up and back was interesting or as Brian would say "This is how they torture the enemy by putting you in a closed cab with four kids and nothing but Dora the Explorer". Once we got to the circus grandma spoiled them with loads for cotton candy, popcorn, snowcones and toys. They were very good. Aby acually sat through the whole thing and loved every minute. Beau would look at everything he saw and say "SCARY". He is a big, big chicken.

Pumkin Head

Aby lost her second tooth. She looks so cute. We are trying to get her to dress like a pumkin for Halloween but she thinks Tinker Bell would be better.

The Three Amigo's

Maddy, Aby and Beau are riding skateboards together. I believe this takes great talent. Especially when the driver (Beau) can do this and never let go of his sandwich.

My Cheerleader

Weston had his own cheering section. I told Mike and Hollie to start saving for cheerleading outfits now, that stuff is expensive!!!!!

3 rd graders playing tackle ball

Weston is the quarter back. We are playing Cedar City and we did get our butts kicked.

Football

Weston has started TACKLE football. His father loves it but is makes mom a little nervous. Ok the truth is I am only nervous until he knocks someone on there butt then I am a proud mama!

The competitive side in my son comes from his dad.

My sweet baby boy Beau in his sisters pink boots. Beau just turned 3 this summer and loves to go to Papa's house to go fishing and swimming. We finally got the potty training down thanks to Grandma. He loves is sister and is always asking "Where Aby go" when she is at school. Beau looks like he is 5 and out weighs Aby by 10 pounds but he will always be our blond curly headed baby.

Weston just turned 8 and is in the 3rd grade. I cant believe my baby is getting so BIG. He played machine pitch baseball this summer and his dad coached his team. He is a realy good athlete and has just started tackle football. I believe his position is quarter back. This last week his dad baptized him and we had lots of family and friends who came to be apart of it.

Sampson Family

Things are going great here in St. George. We have been in our new home for almost a year and we love the location. Mark is still selling homes at Re/Max and enjoys his job. I am staying home with the kids and being the family taxi. I also help Mark in the office. We love living in the desert and will probley be here for a long time

Abygail

Aby has just started Kindergarten in her new school. She will turn 6 in November. This summer she played baseball for Washington City. She was so cute. Every time she hit the ball we would have to scream run Chicken Little or she would just stand there.
