Pumpkin Patch


This afternoon, after we picked Sawyer up from school, we headed to a little pumpkin patch at the Olive Mill. Sure... we could have saved a couple bucks and just bought our pumpkins at Fry's, but then I would have missed out on these cute pictures!! Totally worth it!!

It's Party Time!!

On Saturday, October 10th, we had a birthday party for Sawyer. Of course the theme was dinosaurs!! We had a blast!! Since he is getting a little older now, we were able to have more activities during the party. When the kids arrived, we had a dinosaur tattoo station. Then the kids just ran wild and played on the swing set. For dinner we had dino dogs, chips, fruit salad and veggies. Then we attempted to play a game. It was just like a cake walk where the kids walked in a circle to music. When the music stopped, we called a number and whoever was on that number got a prize!! To make the game more dino, we made dinosaur feet for the kids to walk on and they walked around to the song "Walk the Dinosaur" from Ice Age 3!! All the kids walking around was the cutest thing ever!! Then we had the t-rex pinata!! After that we opened presents and had cake!! We were able to have the entire party outside.... the weather was perfect!!

Sawyer's 5th Birthday!!


On October 8th, Sawyer turned 5!! I still can not believe it!! Five just seems so much older to me. Especially now that he is in school, he just seems like such a big boy! The day started off early with Pat and Sawyer going to pick up his b-day treat for all his friends at school.... donuts! Then my mom was able to come with us to Sawyer's school, and spend the morning with him. After school, we all went back to my parent's house, and while Thatcher slept, Pat and I and Sawyer did some shopping. First, we went and bought Sawyer a new lamp for his bedroom from Grandma Mary. Then we went to Toys R Us where Sawyer picked out his dinosaur legos. Then we went to see Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs in 3D! It was so cool!! After the movie we stopped by Krispe Kreme for our free birthday donuts!! Then it was back to my parents house for pizza. Sawyer said his favorite part of the day was his Mima coming to his classroom!! It was a very fun birthday!!
