</div><div>It's always so fun to have a new baby in the house. They are such sweet little spirits and it's so fun to see the kids with him. They love "Skully" so much. He got that nickname while I was pregnant. Our kids love the Disney cartoon of "Jake and the Neverland Pirates, and they each pretend to be one of the characters. Beck is Jake, Cambelle is Izzy, Elle is Cubby and Briggs by default is Skully... the pirate bird. </div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT4TA2fRDyLmrsWFNhACHcVRlxA5AykyzV-rNHcYrAKv_AMDTmROTkd2pRNxYr-s7TWaInFHnI9yWsZjmaH_WUW9eqrBTjp9PN3sQC6jU1fyMJ4ofQoy9oPPJ2y8gbR3PUrGmvDVHGQ7Nv/s1600/DSC02228.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5687690021306869906" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT4TA2fRDyLmrsWFNhACHcVRlxA5AykyzV-rNHcYrAKv_AMDTmROTkd2pRNxYr-s7TWaInFHnI9yWsZjmaH_WUW9eqrBTjp9PN3sQC6jU1fyMJ4ofQoy9oPPJ2y8gbR3PUrGmvDVHGQ7Nv/s320/DSC02228.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 240px; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 320px;" /></a><br />

It was AMAZING!! Well, one kid came with us, but he was pretty low key… (I was 3 months pregnant) I guess I won't be able to get completely away for a while still. We were lucky enough to have two of our good friends, (who just happen to be brothers) come with us on our adventure. We spent 8 perfect days in the beautiful Caribbean visiting place like St. Thomas, Antigua, Bermuda and ending in New York. I was so nice to be able to get away and relax and just spend time as a couple. We are definitely going to have to plan more vacations like this one. Here are a few pics of our adventures...<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA6GW2gHGMos3SUGR3fuxyLBUerhHikvfbfWrHL1lOY04UA06lQtqqylEYtPoQQTh2xFtINnD5swc7MsWGe3oXGExKMXLpfAxpoKpE5EtGQWgnO9lA5fdyB-3LerE_1HsqfK_XeLz0eJ_s/s1600/DSC01677.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623820173701829474" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA6GW2gHGMos3SUGR3fuxyLBUerhHikvfbfWrHL1lOY04UA06lQtqqylEYtPoQQTh2xFtINnD5swc7MsWGe3oXGExKMXLpfAxpoKpE5EtGQWgnO9lA5fdyB-3LerE_1HsqfK_XeLz0eJ_s/s320/DSC01677.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><p></p><br /><br /><p></p><br /><br /><p></p><br /><br /><p></p><br /><br /><p>Evacuation training... so fun!! </p><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1MZQL48XSliya3Rd_cU2KAgFJPg-TrQ-de52R2FdG3WrZYCiygLuFPeRw14I2Lf9-g_Qao0Kv1vLtVL_JwtMgbcf9A4hPpdr6oN34oqCk1JsVf6nsFgsp6GB6ZLsaqYOCCrkMEqb-XtTg/s1600/DSC01684.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623817457127042546" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1MZQL48XSliya3Rd_cU2KAgFJPg-TrQ-de52R2FdG3WrZYCiygLuFPeRw14I2Lf9-g_Qao0Kv1vLtVL_JwtMgbcf9A4hPpdr6oN34oqCk1JsVf6nsFgsp6GB6ZLsaqYOCCrkMEqb-XtTg/s320/DSC01684.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The view from our balcony on the first morning....

I think we counted about 1300 man hours on that job in just 3 1/2 months. INCREDIBLE! We are so glad to have our Dad back.<br /><br /><br />My "reward" for sticking out those 3 1/2 months was that I could get LASIK done! I didn't waste any time getting that scheduled and had my surgery just 2 weeks after we moved home. I am now officially 20/15 (which is even better than 20/20)! I love it!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibM2gx-Aq_cjYoebj8rMmbjOx9xAI0J_Tkts06vE3T2PXbN6TrzMqO6b-IL0_366Dk8U_YFRKLA3eDtGFHTu0CT7o9I-tDfwmGnQiCyg1xaQhT_M5BGOUYTqKAVenNu_QKUKRGzjxmAYZi/s1600/080.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553308587333486898" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibM2gx-Aq_cjYoebj8rMmbjOx9xAI0J_Tkts06vE3T2PXbN6TrzMqO6b-IL0_366Dk8U_YFRKLA3eDtGFHTu0CT7o9I-tDfwmGnQiCyg1xaQhT_M5BGOUYTqKAVenNu_QKUKRGzjxmAYZi/s320/080.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />We had a nice low key Halloween. Cambelle was one of the 3 Musketeers (barbie style), Beck was a Pirate, and Elle was a bumble bee. Too Cute!<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx79C0q7_4xidNzTTo48y9eE0tH0wV8VkAQ_RXeRrxP-3heQ2oxsCCGtc0tNbsvoIV_QAuEDvCEjLtY-izYHi2ckn9DUezQ-_AMnlOopfOSTSYgKvGmI80VnqNVHuSYCCgCKmmfWpFjF1U/s1600/091.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553309145092097906" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx79C0q7_4xidNzTTo48y9eE0tH0wV8VkAQ_RXeRrxP-3heQ2oxsCCGtc0tNbsvoIV_QAuEDvCEjLtY-izYHi2ckn9DUezQ-_AMnlOopfOSTSYgKvGmI80VnqNVHuSYCCgCKmmfWpFjF1U/s320/091.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />Cambelle got her ears peirced. How can you say no to that girl on anything. We thought she would wait until she was older, but when your kids come to you and so diplomatically try and convince you to let them do something, how can you tell them no? She was very brave, even though it hurt ... a lot... She gets to change her earrings on her birthday... she planned it to be exactly 6 weeks to the day so she could wear a new pair on her birthday.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbu71gHB4JugWnsRfzwjwZrXUkz841JlRNPAexBjk4sGGZLBtiabI5qkoFrEnemgNeCDqmpFfFcMWSqOw4NtZTrUho5sNMxFd0LaG2Y8CgWkLkANSDTifo0Gk5DZuoeCy82m4P3ujfXLS2/s1600/111.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553309610795243714" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbu71gHB4JugWnsRfzwjwZrXUkz841JlRNPAexBjk4sGGZLBtiabI5qkoFrEnemgNeCDqmpFfFcMWSqOw4NtZTrUho5sNMxFd0LaG2Y8CgWkLkANSDTifo0Gk5DZuoeCy82m4P3ujfXLS2/s320/111.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvDXDE-vZN0IY94L6fJe-ShIbA8ME44BfzcH-Soip6mrTHVffvEgb9_PLPFEkgJG92bhbPgyvKmqRU-ul_-rhjXyOAEZkyjlTnZTAiHVZz2XkTYJVqrHQsVfWWcXf3C71pYvE09djoTq7c/s1600/110.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553309609033301058" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvDXDE-vZN0IY94L6fJe-ShIbA8ME44BfzcH-Soip6mrTHVffvEgb9_PLPFEkgJG92bhbPgyvKmqRU-ul_-rhjXyOAEZkyjlTnZTAiHVZz2XkTYJVqrHQsVfWWcXf3C71pYvE09djoTq7c/s320/110.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />Cody has been busy again with work... which we love and hate all at the same time. Its nice to have work, but it's also nice to get to spend time together again.<br /><br /><br />I have been busy just being me. Primary secretary keeps me busy, as do two toddlers and a 7 year old.<br /><br /><br /><br />We are all super excited for Christmas to get here and even had a snow day today (NO SCHOOL!) We saw about 20" of snow overnight. The kids love it!<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhf3pKphF76LQo6cNQxnQ3jf-D5fHksQZZt5R2DimAI9L1EcTUIbEvgt9rLnw7PWkwPoBiZcL1V5unbdgeKgp9RX4SwRkZZpZXqNci6R_cCg5KZzsyB2BH6FTaPowcsmbWK8YeX0hyphenhyphen_0PV/s1600/untitled+%25282+of+217%2529.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 212px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553313917161978098" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhf3pKphF76LQo6cNQxnQ3jf-D5fHksQZZt5R2DimAI9L1EcTUIbEvgt9rLnw7PWkwPoBiZcL1V5unbdgeKgp9RX4SwRkZZpZXqNci6R_cCg5KZzsyB2BH6FTaPowcsmbWK8YeX0hyphenhyphen_0PV/s320/untitled+%25282+of+217%2529.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br />Hope anyone reading this has a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year because I'm pretty sure I won't post between now and then, but thanks for checking in on us!The Sampson Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15462937908940593319noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-997233045070454281.post-40122043007686057552010-09-21T14:52:00.000-07:002010-09-21T15:33:44.357-07:00Our Adventures...Part DeuxOur adventures in Colorado continue....<br /><br />Our biggest and craziest thing so far has been Cody's accident at work with a hand power planer. Just for clarification hand planers are NOT meant for hands. This happened right before Labor day weekend, so we got to spend a week in Utah for some R&R. It is healing really well. It looks way better now. I will have to post some current pictures. It is amazing how quickly the body can really heal itself. The cool part in all this is that the guys up here at the construction site like Cody so much that they all pooled their cash and gave our family a huge chunk of money to help cover costs while Cody was down. People are amazing. They all like Cody up here because he is the only mormon any of them have ever met.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglrc-J3EsiEJwj3Yr4NGe5M1IfP6yfBBufXCkgxAWGfGLl_8ycii11xaCZVTWgOwXPTiO-zjdfFhBhpwIOwRuXIA9EQMP8frnJnCKFiXqaQYlO7OzlHkQAuK06sfNsxus7g-QivLEu1Mkn/s1600/DSC01317.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519490962566986130" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglrc-J3EsiEJwj3Yr4NGe5M1IfP6yfBBufXCkgxAWGfGLl_8ycii11xaCZVTWgOwXPTiO-zjdfFhBhpwIOwRuXIA9EQMP8frnJnCKFiXqaQYlO7OzlHkQAuK06sfNsxus7g-QivLEu1Mkn/s320/DSC01317.JPG" /></a><br /><br />We still take our weekly sunday walk down to the river. It is Becks favorite thing about livng out here. Every time he even sees the river he starts yelling " Reeber, reeber".<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEhRMfrhii4wnMKthyDcK9w22mfO8dVaDEZTg0pwvfuvDEI1mOHdCmrEO4uz7Ni-IGKZe_b4R96gmWcuPVK8NvZq8lGfRpylZbfICVlc3FdIOLam4zm05_nfY3bJGIn10j1aao7XRi3m9o/s1600/DSC01292.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519490997217615314" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEhRMfrhii4wnMKthyDcK9w22mfO8dVaDEZTg0pwvfuvDEI1mOHdCmrEO4uz7Ni-IGKZe_b4R96gmWcuPVK8NvZq8lGfRpylZbfICVlc3FdIOLam4zm05_nfY3bJGIn10j1aao7XRi3m9o/s320/DSC01292.JPG" /></a><br /><br />Our new friend Pauly came over again and made us another fantastic meal.

The kids absolutely adore Lance (and his twin brother Ryan) so it was an extra special week for all of us. We took a day and went up to Aspen and did some window shopping. I think the cheapest on sale item we found was a t-shirt for $58.<br />This giant dog is at an antique store in Aspen and Beck loves to walk by and say Hi to this dog.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLjYT6VceHt6oYF0d3ERPavjsA9n57-Sn5DE7k09zTdUNTPJOD0bi8hXX-sVq7KXDGs88KGgt_6nvzB3F5N20t_2pPVi2ZiBWO6YfCbwRihxjBtASbuWVvtBU9cwDVpq3in0lsqv_MKebU/s1600/DSC01346.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519491013799176386" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLjYT6VceHt6oYF0d3ERPavjsA9n57-Sn5DE7k09zTdUNTPJOD0bi8hXX-sVq7KXDGs88KGgt_6nvzB3F5N20t_2pPVi2ZiBWO6YfCbwRihxjBtASbuWVvtBU9cwDVpq3in0lsqv_MKebU/s320/DSC01346.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br />While Lance was here he introduced Elle to McDonalds sweet & sour sauce. She couldn't get enough. I think she even had a melt down when we took it away.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO2t42h9hRDe-BX1TphXkucyg0vL_OgcUxQciVnK_EVfMtYhdXrfR-g8WJuldM3oeUyu8_cBa30apA-O5m8ymcoX5NUtmHH_Hl7mhPw-BpgLUKazaLw8ppH_WGSWTg72-bYzratBH6GiDw/s1600/DSC01349.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519490978484885586" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO2t42h9hRDe-BX1TphXkucyg0vL_OgcUxQciVnK_EVfMtYhdXrfR-g8WJuldM3oeUyu8_cBa30apA-O5m8ymcoX5NUtmHH_Hl7mhPw-BpgLUKazaLw8ppH_WGSWTg72-bYzratBH6GiDw/s320/DSC01349.JPG" /></a><br /><br />We spent a day up at the Glenwood Caverns in the Fairy Caves. No strollers allowed in the caves so Lance and I ended up carrying the two babies through the 70 minute cave tour.<br /><br />The kids had such a good time that Cambelle decided that Lance is their step-dad. Her theory on that is that Lance is the guy who "steps in" when dad cant come because of work...the step-dad. We thought it was funny, I liked the idea of two incomes...<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHSVz-kkpl0o-MwKxI7ZClh3jkIo9aEBlbAHsVKLu9ua_cKqbSjWaPdHtYqhdNlJ5Mn5imWfvtNaf1Mrw_qHdZ6sUghatddNV8A6a3Lbc39xKbqhEAbH0innpNdNgQX60dG77UmlegiiZZ/s1600/DSC01361.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519495599110976658" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHSVz-kkpl0o-MwKxI7ZClh3jkIo9aEBlbAHsVKLu9ua_cKqbSjWaPdHtYqhdNlJ5Mn5imWfvtNaf1Mrw_qHdZ6sUghatddNV8A6a3Lbc39xKbqhEAbH0innpNdNgQX60dG77UmlegiiZZ/s320/DSC01361.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzXRrt3Q-uoCASJvxAyg5g-AKIw3LXRSmFdjccsBC4-H1jS1xJxxveBLDY-vpN-9-neeUsKEZxEiWl6Ibld3aR7ZRWRE2B56I3Esx5kbRNivjQxbZKyFU501Fpb7z_zzOwS7NfTeFYTp8v/s1600/DSC01356.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519495586926035426" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzXRrt3Q-uoCASJvxAyg5g-AKIw3LXRSmFdjccsBC4-H1jS1xJxxveBLDY-vpN-9-neeUsKEZxEiWl6Ibld3aR7ZRWRE2B56I3Esx5kbRNivjQxbZKyFU501Fpb7z_zzOwS7NfTeFYTp8v/s320/DSC01356.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig7IWsznRp4qmxd-ZLmOY11ysfxwtOq8qnq53lZPwMJdtmVQV6tH9_63UV6GajXv0Xh6rSJocjAnq8NLiY8JnCi3frHKbT3qCz_6CMeI_cW_-6OeNnv2YEDU3uprONVgQYla43N8rcVH35/s1600/DSC01355.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519495578073413010" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig7IWsznRp4qmxd-ZLmOY11ysfxwtOq8qnq53lZPwMJdtmVQV6tH9_63UV6GajXv0Xh6rSJocjAnq8NLiY8JnCi3frHKbT3qCz_6CMeI_cW_-6OeNnv2YEDU3uprONVgQYla43N8rcVH35/s320/DSC01355.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br />We rounded out the week by driving in to Denver for two days. Cody and Lance went to the Broncos home opener against the SeaHawks. They had third row tickets. Cody didn't want to carry around my pink camera so I'll have to post pictures of the boys at the game once I get them from Lance. The kids and I drove out to Colorado Springs and spent the day with my Aunt and Uncle. They took us to the "Garden of the Gods" . It's a geological wonder where the tectonic plates hit and sent these huge rocks straight up into the air. It was amazing.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaemDE8KTVfM6nv_YnLRPGRvBdDTjMhLtc9hvD0gDYM6vix28H66CkjKrV2x3XEEktPslzm6YMDMWmv0nt461SbT54Pwuo8O5hpsyCkE4gVHfkH1RLAPoj0YpQpqvArLrGpswkKH13_du4/s1600/DSC01370.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519495605076502034" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaemDE8KTVfM6nv_YnLRPGRvBdDTjMhLtc9hvD0gDYM6vix28H66CkjKrV2x3XEEktPslzm6YMDMWmv0nt461SbT54Pwuo8O5hpsyCkE4gVHfkH1RLAPoj0YpQpqvArLrGpswkKH13_du4/s320/DSC01370.JPG" /></a><br /><br />We are only out here for another week or so and then its back to Utah. Cody will have to stay a few weeks later than the kids and I, but hopefully it will be life back to normal soon.

The shows make me feel like I can cook. I mean really cook. They always have these little commercials that ask the food network stars "What is the best thing you have ever eaten?" I've thought about that question a lot. And I can't seem to ever fill it in. I've eaten some pretty darn good things in my life, like Citrus Crusted Halibut...YUM...or Chocolate Lava Cake...Double YUM... But nothing has ever fallen into the category of "The BEST..Ever. Until Wednesday...<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdsFBc7xlLKZV0-OtJ2hOz47AnlvHA39H3qDyGlONalARGXWrdOc04_-cnzeWH9Iegpb1-tMkrcQPdNfp7azNCur-_tAs16kBdKkF_QjLZzhyxHN2ofU4LcPVyl67mVZfS9JAdW5d4ojpS/s1600/DSC01213.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507526742183721202" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdsFBc7xlLKZV0-OtJ2hOz47AnlvHA39H3qDyGlONalARGXWrdOc04_-cnzeWH9Iegpb1-tMkrcQPdNfp7azNCur-_tAs16kBdKkF_QjLZzhyxHN2ofU4LcPVyl67mVZfS9JAdW5d4ojpS/s320/DSC01213.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div>A new friend, Pauley, came over Wednesday night to cook us dinner. I had been told that Pauley had been a chef, but I wasn't sure how good he actually was. Sometimes people get over-sensationalized..you know. Pauley is now a finish carpenter on the house Cody is working on in Aspen. Anyway back to the story. Apparently, Pauley was a chef for over 20 years. A real chef too. He brought all the food he would need and he cooked up a storm. I just watched. In fact, he banned me from the kitchen. I tried to sneak in once and got in trouble. He was chopping and slicing and mixing and breading like a mad man. I couldn't even keep up on what was going on he was so fast. The house smelled just like a fine restaurant. Even the kids were excited. We all watched. Drooling the whole time. Oh by the way, Cody was allowed in the kitchen as the dish washer. Hee Hee, I love it. When he was finished we had a fantastic French Cuisine meal of herb crusted chicken with a mushroom sauce that was to die for, dirty mashed potatoes with garlic and goat cheese, and fresh steeped asparagus. I don't even know what steeped means, it was so fancy. </div><div></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1a8F3g-dbq58nITfyKsw_-yyAy6y9c91hyUrWwFnd_B72-AzM0Ft46E4uCVHHrrS6QqYAhysaZEh6K4HOUJfxwpxyEl6K49We9DsAgHPGyu7VLot5xpP0tuuoZqUddBlMz1VUd-9zRhqn/s1600/DSC01228.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507526768575844866" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1a8F3g-dbq58nITfyKsw_-yyAy6y9c91hyUrWwFnd_B72-AzM0Ft46E4uCVHHrrS6QqYAhysaZEh6K4HOUJfxwpxyEl6K49We9DsAgHPGyu7VLot5xpP0tuuoZqUddBlMz1VUd-9zRhqn/s320/DSC01228.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-Jk8uKCtsYv2YonolFC5hBj9l4TuFpfdMl2hlkVpujnz1d3kra_PA8rvHn5bxME9qpaAPvUPvvOapVFaJMrgobcJjmK4B6-kAxWB6QrxkF8YrTzq9lPmAO8XzZd57xjPcB4EfnmVvsXjx/s1600/DSC01227.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507526779349432098" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-Jk8uKCtsYv2YonolFC5hBj9l4TuFpfdMl2hlkVpujnz1d3kra_PA8rvHn5bxME9qpaAPvUPvvOapVFaJMrgobcJjmK4B6-kAxWB6QrxkF8YrTzq9lPmAO8XzZd57xjPcB4EfnmVvsXjx/s320/DSC01227.JPG" /></a><br /><div></div><div>This meal by far is the best thing I have ever eaten!

SO GOOD. </div><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_F1AG6xuq25rZYsCIwbG02-0OylJiOmeiklme6aE5LZOExgx2XwZsTXJx-rt3Q35xIFnZwtp4zjxlHgExcX1W-gbLMx1xgE2J_UBAq9IXD6AOmzPARZpDydndl4gypFvpJd6pk3MyIEOY/s1600/DSC01223.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507526760865172402" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_F1AG6xuq25rZYsCIwbG02-0OylJiOmeiklme6aE5LZOExgx2XwZsTXJx-rt3Q35xIFnZwtp4zjxlHgExcX1W-gbLMx1xgE2J_UBAq9IXD6AOmzPARZpDydndl4gypFvpJd6pk3MyIEOY/s320/DSC01223.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div></div><div>Pauley was amazing. I guess he gave up the life of a professional chef because of the 80 hour work week. You're the first one there and the last one to leave when you're the chef. And since he found the love of his life, (his lovely wife Paula) he didn't want to be gone all the time. Sadly though he went into construction and landed this job which he has been on for 2 1/2 years of his 4 year marriage to Paula and she lives in Denver (4 hours away) so they don't see each other as often as he would like. </div><br /><div></div><div>Paul has agreed to come over every few weeks and cook with me. Give me some pointers. Teach me some stuff. So cool. It's like having food network, live in my kitchen. WooHoo. I'll let you know how it goes. He says I have to cook him a meal first. Uh, ya...what do you cook a chef? Mac & Cheese?

We've pet a baby alligator, gotten completly lost trying to find a hardware store, cut 5 inches of Cambelle's hair off, played on a big excavation tractor, eaten a whole piece of pizza by ourselves (Elle) and had the flu. Thats not even half of all we've done out here. It's been fun.

It's only temporary though. Cody has work in Aspen, CO until September. He was driving back and forth, but that got WAY to hard on him and me and the kiddos. So since schools out for summer we figured we would all move to Colorado. It's definately an adjustment. But its also a fun adventure that we get to have as a family. Here are some pictures of our new temporary home. There's no real order to any of these, but I'll at least tell you a little about each picture... here goes...<br /><p>This is the kids' room/office. Beck and Cambelle share the bed and Elle's in the play pen thing. The wall that the picture is taken from is a wooden accordian sliding door, very 70's.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC_-5FZz72wpQki7E5fXP7eizJ1liHRhBwx_H05D95OVWLUmipm9dYfAYx7xCCg4te99ZZvVql0j38DkAjImyKHY5crLNHBNRUyBu6j4tHOi8yHwy-foE5IKmcOCdEEQtrvkDMVhvCJg9E/s1600/DSC01116.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491308119013383282" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC_-5FZz72wpQki7E5fXP7eizJ1liHRhBwx_H05D95OVWLUmipm9dYfAYx7xCCg4te99ZZvVql0j38DkAjImyKHY5crLNHBNRUyBu6j4tHOi8yHwy-foE5IKmcOCdEEQtrvkDMVhvCJg9E/s320/DSC01116.JPG" /></a> </p><p><br />This is the main bathroom.

The pink bathroom. Cambelle loves it because well, it's pink. But Beck loves the tiny sink. He now has the cleanest hands in Colorado thanks to this sink.

She is such a cute girl. Oh, and for the record she officially started walking before she turned 1. She's been trying for a while now, but is a little chicken. On Tuesday she just kind of started walking everywhere. Especially to Grandpa. So we are counting it as walking before her first birthday. After all she was only 11 months and 29 days.<br /><br /><br />Happy Birthday Little One....here's some pictures of the 1st year of in the book of Elle...<br /><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV9DAXk9i9DsTnBD9DFjgvIhoeS0GGFEq7uA0t8z7ZASdEMk3xOaxShRIrT2prP_qKvNeiHFSCYNCfUV1HnyVMp6SNjznLkzmqkqfFOMnHwReMie6qQ_YbLr958tG3BHF6zc8QWQgoERaV/s1600/DSC00105.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px;

He's our lucky guy that will always have a birthday on Mother's Day weekend or there abouts. (Elle's will always coincide with Father's Day, go figure). We took him and the kiddos to Chuck E Cheese on Friday. Surprisingly enough he wasn't all that spooked by the Cheese.

Beck is REALLY into "nandy" (candy). So I decided to make his a candy cake. I went all out and he absolutely loved it. The suckers on the top were so heavy they actually made the cake start to lean and it just about fell over.

I love to play the jokes and tricks on other people, but hate being the one to be duped. This year I got Cambelle. I told her I had made her a really special breakfast. She was so excited. I brought over her plate and drink and set them in front of her. When she opened her eyes to see this she was like " umm ... thanks?" " Mom, this is dinner."<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiohnova4J2Vvic-KipeF4NlI3lQy4gJvar79CUrTSuxRaqLWAUPb40yjqHD0LMLq3D2QR5tiP8jC_WvkoB2a_6NOlEd6vUI7dxUdD5VzzoDRMydO6WRdCJH6lcja5CBL_bMWvZ7xN56N-y/s1600/DSC00932.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5455397737326228690" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiohnova4J2Vvic-KipeF4NlI3lQy4gJvar79CUrTSuxRaqLWAUPb40yjqHD0LMLq3D2QR5tiP8jC_WvkoB2a_6NOlEd6vUI7dxUdD5VzzoDRMydO6WRdCJH6lcja5CBL_bMWvZ7xN56N-y/s320/DSC00932.JPG" /></a> </div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgV3cDZdqy1BJhDt71AT9cQqnHxGLMzUKGJbTG9JFsjmk4W3VAQOQNngVgXExQihfae2H_2tzWtQ0-0gtLXsNfPRlyk4WHy7wCfqxBboXtxMB6UwZ03Xt2XD7RF6McsnO64ND5Qe2UxIl6/s1600/DSC00931.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5455399848011628162" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgV3cDZdqy1BJhDt71AT9cQqnHxGLMzUKGJbTG9JFsjmk4W3VAQOQNngVgXExQihfae2H_2tzWtQ0-0gtLXsNfPRlyk4WHy7wCfqxBboXtxMB6UwZ03Xt2XD7RF6McsnO64ND5Qe2UxIl6/s320/DSC00931.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div>I called out "April Fools" and she giggled and thought it was funny. It gets even better. She grabs a spoon to actually eat her dinner/breakfast. The food is not what it appears to be. The "veggies" are made from tootsie rolls that I shaped to look like real peas, carrots and corn. And the fish sticks are vanilla wafer cookies covered in peanut butter and dipped in crushed corn flakes. Her drink of Kool-aid was actually Jell-o too. When she popped a spoonful of "veggies" in her mouth and the taste was completely off she spit them all back out onto her plate and yelled " Mom what is this?" Beck scoops up his "veggies" and immediately shouts out "Nandy" (his word for candy). She hurried and grabbed the "fish stick" and bit in and couldn't stop laughing when she figured out that her breakfast was all messed up and that she was getting cookies, candy and jello for breakfast.</div><div> </div><div>I think Becks confused face when I gave hime dinner for breakfast is my favorite.

The more he learns to do, the more he wants to help. He has a special fettish with brooms & vacuums. I think he cleans the kitchen floor more than I do. He loves to get out the swivel sweeper and clean up anything and everything on the floor. Even things he shouldn't. Flipping through my photos on the laptop today I realized, Beck likes to help with a lot of things for instance ...<br /><br />He loves to help Cody with his tools...<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNcHGSB4G68mJf3o3CVgECqNG81_RrYKE1ogEaD4f66JtnJmbxMSdOrHT2mxXh8uPxsYBKZnoUSr3DmSfr6Q9HhXsC_XBXKLG39QJ6cWhT6xZwWgoEV2fF2gU2k5STvV6NlhDujYGsNAoG/s1600-h/12-7-09+200.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438960741940894258" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNcHGSB4G68mJf3o3CVgECqNG81_RrYKE1ogEaD4f66JtnJmbxMSdOrHT2mxXh8uPxsYBKZnoUSr3DmSfr6Q9HhXsC_XBXKLG39QJ6cWhT6xZwWgoEV2fF2gU2k5STvV6NlhDujYGsNAoG/s320/12-7-09+200.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />He likes to help give himself baths...<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjARjd5OF_x0OJww_lBoyRwYvvadspMtoC3UhG5fu_r8C-XjJi0FyC3K2TyDeIfKqDrKz5DSrXe7CgKsYVMnCaOHKs9H9maxQqe88pry6TsZQWTfPt_dkmusWEPbqApnCkepn9ea1V8NJYJ/s1600-h/12-7-09+126.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438959127727187234" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjARjd5OF_x0OJww_lBoyRwYvvadspMtoC3UhG5fu_r8C-XjJi0FyC3K2TyDeIfKqDrKz5DSrXe7CgKsYVMnCaOHKs9H9maxQqe88pry6TsZQWTfPt_dkmusWEPbqApnCkepn9ea1V8NJYJ/s320/12-7-09+126.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br />He loves to help me in the kitchen...<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4pHEEywDSRP_XZOWtvCLICPMFsrCpZEFqU_RhjWcCJBFFt4_rBcXKXt4cNJ6gkRb82nnJfrRT6TQicdNztwgMhocw6ytT8-QuagD88eWY6O7D31NvSpVe7NGCTF5CR3pbhpcHIASj2Mfx/s1600-h/12-7-09+213.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438959115303028786" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4pHEEywDSRP_XZOWtvCLICPMFsrCpZEFqU_RhjWcCJBFFt4_rBcXKXt4cNJ6gkRb82nnJfrRT6TQicdNztwgMhocw6ytT8-QuagD88eWY6O7D31NvSpVe7NGCTF5CR3pbhpcHIASj2Mfx/s320/12-7-09+213.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5KSqSapSqP8IY_g14QI-zu-IYNvU6KOtY8GefCPAZTg5ZhKo3EUGSIlpkKqK5d45icByLi5PWjosrj3eV6DP1mplnAbSPZSF-MPdlhVnHpZU227ugHFALmbcTvCaTPRrTLDNDluAvaihY/s1600-h/DSC00681.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438959104122184642" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5KSqSapSqP8IY_g14QI-zu-IYNvU6KOtY8GefCPAZTg5ZhKo3EUGSIlpkKqK5d45icByLi5PWjosrj3eV6DP1mplnAbSPZSF-MPdlhVnHpZU227ugHFALmbcTvCaTPRrTLDNDluAvaihY/s320/DSC00681.JPG" /></a><br />and, he absolutely loves to hep baby Elle...<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhybLLc15BaAA8YBZYNqmVmmM7haGBYX7m6GDuXrmsblwLj5bHjt04ZoB31SUOuUNrhewctO3J_fSUTHd-9OdI17-OSsUryTqDoHXFnioi58-z44Vf2gBIzdt-2aoam_aBG4TMoBIyDdX8M/s1600-h/8-9-09+061.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438959096952774162" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhybLLc15BaAA8YBZYNqmVmmM7haGBYX7m6GDuXrmsblwLj5bHjt04ZoB31SUOuUNrhewctO3J_fSUTHd-9OdI17-OSsUryTqDoHXFnioi58-z44Vf2gBIzdt-2aoam_aBG4TMoBIyDdX8M/s320/8-9-09+061.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div>He sure is a cute little guy.</div></div></div>The Sampson Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15462937908940593319noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-997233045070454281.post-68681490808205128882010-02-04T12:08:00.000-08:002010-02-04T12:18:08.876-08:00Creative JuicesSomething about the long awaited coming of spring seems to get my creative juices flowing.

At least the last couple years have been. I love to see how exciting it is to have a birthday. I wish my birthday was that exciting. We had our traditional birthday pancakes, and a little get together that ended up being not so little. It started out as just our family. Then it was our family, my parents and my sister. By the time we were all together there were about 21 of us. We had cake (decorated exactly as Cambelle asked) and ice cream and an all around good time.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZM2bdS3bgbBJ8EgxZXgKvLuZZy7ojHuvzUCeTFdi_St9WcqhvSmENKt_6yMsKRuhypHau5Hv3yOCTIPzGS8S73_OHvzFYaVi2a-xd-R8WJa43x6rAHeKF1zRqFZSGop7-nK5cUzn0GBN_/s1600-h/DSC00821.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428962044226406978" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZM2bdS3bgbBJ8EgxZXgKvLuZZy7ojHuvzUCeTFdi_St9WcqhvSmENKt_6yMsKRuhypHau5Hv3yOCTIPzGS8S73_OHvzFYaVi2a-xd-R8WJa43x6rAHeKF1zRqFZSGop7-nK5cUzn0GBN_/s320/DSC00821.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div></div><br /><div>For her birthday she asked for 3 dresses. Dress up dresses. Not just any dress up dresses, but exact duplicates of the "Barbie and the 3 Musketeers" dresses. I started back in early December and I hemmed the final dress while she was at school on her birthday. All my hard work payed off though, she loved them! </div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiymH5fe4aShBUip6NcAVfbRWQnFDefXalAZLItYLF5W-8H4tzduPZVX1ghzhDCUZsEXcde8uM_z0Wq0CI12PAQAn6gNaftyeX2YWl7XkXodr_9SS87jBoBqs7CEB7OHX7W2gBqA4NUPp7I/s1600-h/DSC00826.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428962037001782082" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiymH5fe4aShBUip6NcAVfbRWQnFDefXalAZLItYLF5W-8H4tzduPZVX1ghzhDCUZsEXcde8uM_z0Wq0CI12PAQAn6gNaftyeX2YWl7XkXodr_9SS87jBoBqs7CEB7OHX7W2gBqA4NUPp7I/s320/DSC00826.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div></div><div>It was so fun to see all of our family and friends show Cambelle how much they love her.

We had a lot of fun this christmas. Cody's sister Norma was down from Alaska so we spent Christmas Eve at his Dad's house and celebrated a little early with them. We played in the snow and built a snowman, had a fantastic dinner and opened a few presents. Santa even made a surprise visit, which Beck did not appreciate. Even Cambelle was a little worried when the big guy himself showed up on Grandpa Sampsons doorstep. We had a fun filled, exhausting day. </div><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_otnlBoF21wopl5t931u3EtLIfykidQIBIHJU9TGQExOxny8Pq6RZ-7hZFOTE1NC5ky4cU_CuJfcXhQzfMEPQ4kZjxJcziaHhJ6IJcL_q6nBM1_T1TMFyVpjCRy01i_5Ftji3qcw9GAYW/s1600-h/DSC00773.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428956887886243314" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_otnlBoF21wopl5t931u3EtLIfykidQIBIHJU9TGQExOxny8Pq6RZ-7hZFOTE1NC5ky4cU_CuJfcXhQzfMEPQ4kZjxJcziaHhJ6IJcL_q6nBM1_T1TMFyVpjCRy01i_5Ftji3qcw9GAYW/s320/DSC00773.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGjKwxDzMmLx8Aw8ozC8ePM3m-TrEYvdRvFY8puuMulF4tG4V_FFjD9YWLM4YUgeUyS4oZUHV0-EWFrRWuztt6FqhDacMXPp3F2sDJDYdVOkvlaQgwDvAzSqqolptewBQRuZY15rfcEXHt/s1600-h/DSC00779.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428956873465374770" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGjKwxDzMmLx8Aw8ozC8ePM3m-TrEYvdRvFY8puuMulF4tG4V_FFjD9YWLM4YUgeUyS4oZUHV0-EWFrRWuztt6FqhDacMXPp3F2sDJDYdVOkvlaQgwDvAzSqqolptewBQRuZY15rfcEXHt/s320/DSC00779.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div></div><br /><div>Christmas day was no different. Fun filled and exhausting. The hour and a half drive home christmas eve gave all the kids a great nap at 9:00 on christmas eve so no one was tired at bed time. I think we finally got to bed around 1:00. Elle was the first one up (she doesn't even know about Santa yet, why was she so excited?) at 5:30. The other two kids got up around 7. Cambelle could hardly contain herself when she realized that it was Christmas morning. By the time we got around to opening presents ( we had to wait for Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle Ray) Elle was fast asleep again and Cambelle had rifled through every present under the tree to see which boxes belonged to her. The rest of my family showed up aroun noon for the traditional christmas dinner at my parents house and we played games and the kiddies opened even more presents. Then it was off to Grandma Lola's for even more presents. I think our kids are totally spoiled by their grandparents and aunts and uncles. It was a typical Christmas for us and thats just how I like it.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifX6rHwVlZMwHil5V8IFbU11zVkSfDYbX3eGdSKo8MdJORJ2IkfdqypUCuY-sGlU_Rk9u6czf0ekmhGc18YskIlp_2URFQQKYDANvqIkSXlafHBLDIT1RX8WZt4Ml6SbwIV1PpTrA7H6nd/s1600-h/DSC00790.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428956867871050994" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifX6rHwVlZMwHil5V8IFbU11zVkSfDYbX3eGdSKo8MdJORJ2IkfdqypUCuY-sGlU_Rk9u6czf0ekmhGc18YskIlp_2URFQQKYDANvqIkSXlafHBLDIT1RX8WZt4Ml6SbwIV1PpTrA7H6nd/s320/DSC00790.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVUtFFdpjoIGABOHQ-4HHoyfCEeEkjRyt1M7PR0Sgr4MBkmIdY2tEmA-fDD-da6i6Cr8CdKxz71w6ZlgHiA1nVx74zB-nJM-hSvaiOiBU_1MHIHPaqHgd62gUraB0D5p2xle9RyCvSI0O5/s1600-h/DSC00795.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428956857143401762" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVUtFFdpjoIGABOHQ-4HHoyfCEeEkjRyt1M7PR0Sgr4MBkmIdY2tEmA-fDD-da6i6Cr8CdKxz71w6ZlgHiA1nVx74zB-nJM-hSvaiOiBU_1MHIHPaqHgd62gUraB0D5p2xle9RyCvSI0O5/s320/DSC00795.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiblUSHfV9168pDjLSGg_adCmtazoXAe7a9gUDMxlr-WzS23eceiETLytVygdL07L3yMdJ4JyhVLzhe3ZCk4juWp4_TBsiuKUtoY2NhIr71pyrJu-zYqz2N-yQf6MqVpGBV0BC2F0BkBnvY/s1600-h/DSC00797.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428956849700527778" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiblUSHfV9168pDjLSGg_adCmtazoXAe7a9gUDMxlr-WzS23eceiETLytVygdL07L3yMdJ4JyhVLzhe3ZCk4juWp4_TBsiuKUtoY2NhIr71pyrJu-zYqz2N-yQf6MqVpGBV0BC2F0BkBnvY/s320/DSC00797.JPG" /></a> </div></div></div></div></div>The Sampson Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15462937908940593319noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-997233045070454281.post-53070290076673238262009-12-07T23:21:00.000-08:002009-12-07T23:40:44.922-08:00Temple Square<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ9wrrGsFivLgrc7V0vjMOE-FEPUE6ouWhX_cf_oBbTa0qKhTCnL97IBCOGu5dxZ6P3J72xXLMMQZidtg841miJU9l1ifv_yQaK3AaLslBpYeKBmd51ZwGpTLs-DOZfx-Jrbb3WFXF-fMT/s1600-h/12-7+162.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412766471798501506" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ9wrrGsFivLgrc7V0vjMOE-FEPUE6ouWhX_cf_oBbTa0qKhTCnL97IBCOGu5dxZ6P3J72xXLMMQZidtg841miJU9l1ifv_yQaK3AaLslBpYeKBmd51ZwGpTLs-DOZfx-Jrbb3WFXF-fMT/s320/12-7+162.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div>We finally made it up to temple square in Salt Lake this year. I think I have been trying to get our family up there for years. My best friend growing up lives up in Salt Lake so we used her as an excuse to get up there. Emily is so much fun with the kids. We planned our trip before we knew the weather report though and it turned out to be freezing. Actually colder than freezing, it was about 20 degrees. Plus it had snowed earlier in the day. It was beautiful! Seeing all the christmas lights somehow really gets me into the christmas mood. It makes me feel like a kid again.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4P9JuYYrldJZInOSWSOwOyhyRYsP8t_cUDjISI-bjg9iwA_eJbdwq1f4f-s1JTtsgHGaZnDjODL6KmtrxNP6xCIKEUjTbizRTSEPO1dUfu8il31MbnrkHxJhotQGDeLCufBspF8vO3zew/s1600-h/12-7-09+159.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412766490712940098" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4P9JuYYrldJZInOSWSOwOyhyRYsP8t_cUDjISI-bjg9iwA_eJbdwq1f4f-s1JTtsgHGaZnDjODL6KmtrxNP6xCIKEUjTbizRTSEPO1dUfu8il31MbnrkHxJhotQGDeLCufBspF8vO3zew/s320/12-7-09+159.jpg" /></a><br />I am so glad Cody is in a christmasy mood this year and lets me drag him around to these things. Cody has been so good this year. Usually he barely tolerates the whole christmas thing, but this year I think I'm finally gettin' to him. He listens to christmas music in the car with us, he has been to two different "light shows", and he was actually willing to help me get out the christmas decorations. Lucky for him this years decorations consist of stockings and garland and thats it. My parents took care of all the other decorating. I just love this time of year. Merry Christmas All!<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoBjp89pAYE7TDcbmjSSMYv7OxeEgmoG3ip0fzJ4ymCqwJaZQHbmX6daRpFuSi0OsuaNH33c1zkHGxxJaQQ02epVXVA09iLuoGQTlJPMQnAF4-tNQkxTS-6MB45w0Pq2CmnFJNLIoacOCK/s1600-h/12-7-09+163.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412766479110882562" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoBjp89pAYE7TDcbmjSSMYv7OxeEgmoG3ip0fzJ4ymCqwJaZQHbmX6daRpFuSi0OsuaNH33c1zkHGxxJaQQ02epVXVA09iLuoGQTlJPMQnAF4-tNQkxTS-6MB45w0Pq2CmnFJNLIoacOCK/s320/12-7-09+163.jpg" /></a></div></div>The Sampson Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15462937908940593319noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-997233045070454281.post-90171098762237210282009-11-07T18:38:00.000-08:002009-11-07T18:46:13.974-08:00For Halloween this year we went with the Star Wars theme.

She was so excited. Well actually she was mad! Cody was wiggling her tooth and it popped out. At first she didn't notice, but then she realized there was a hole in her mouth and she was not happy. When it finally sank in that she had actually lost her tooth finally she was all smiles. Toothless smiles. </div>The Sampson Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15462937908940593319noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-997233045070454281.post-7293664469858597412009-09-21T22:46:00.000-07:002009-09-21T22:56:16.268-07:00Evil HumidifiersThursday morning as I was getting Cambelle ready for school, Beck came out of his bedroom screaming and crying. I wasn't too concerned, that's how he usually comes out in the mornings. But he kept rubbing his hands on his legs. I asked him if he had "Owwies" because the day before he had gotten his immunizations. He just kept on crying for about 40 minutes. A bottle finally calmed him down and that was that. Well, later in the day as I was getting Beck ready I noticed that the humidifier in his room was unplugged. I don't remember unplugging that I thought to myself. So I looked at Beck and asked him if he had touched it. He looked at me very innocently and said "no, no" while shaking his finger at the humidifier. I told him "We don't touch!" and he replied "Owwies". Thats right good boy. Well around lunch time my Mom picks Beck up and notices his hand. It looks something like this...<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOXAw7aVlOLdkowl4t8S45ymcYxN92BXbAfZWlwEpwqBe-GUtRn512m2yQC_ftQUXChZPpj7OZ0Q9KU-t4iK2kA4a_Qj756oBKNRKD831Tl8fRVD9LURARR1kgC3PpUQTFTzpE-AqMrkit/s1600-h/DSC00390.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384165837922130434" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOXAw7aVlOLdkowl4t8S45ymcYxN92BXbAfZWlwEpwqBe-GUtRn512m2yQC_ftQUXChZPpj7OZ0Q9KU-t4iK2kA4a_Qj756oBKNRKD831Tl8fRVD9LURARR1kgC3PpUQTFTzpE-AqMrkit/s320/DSC00390.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtyhqlNpU3fz7W5ne8Q2xEE6Vp-ukFV9MAiaizrO_64WpHljmV2umnitsnhJK84ZAG7IlfUgwjX0NMROIC4pON9Gbz33no-opwLoKoS2nT7thbibb8hjekgud895bywtk7QNjaVOcn_Kgu/s1600-h/DSC00389.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384165822920977922" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtyhqlNpU3fz7W5ne8Q2xEE6Vp-ukFV9MAiaizrO_64WpHljmV2umnitsnhJK84ZAG7IlfUgwjX0NMROIC4pON9Gbz33no-opwLoKoS2nT7thbibb8hjekgud895bywtk7QNjaVOcn_Kgu/s320/DSC00389.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>Now everything starts fitting together in my head. The crying, rubbing of the hands, the unplugged humidifier. Apparently Beck put his hand against the steam coming out of the humidifer and got a good second degree burn on his finger. The blister popped later that day, on my sisters pants, but now his finger is raw and sore. Poor guy. I swear his curiosity is going to get him in some serious trouble one day. Oh, wait it already did. </div>The Sampson Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15462937908940593319noreply@blogger.com2
