Funny things the kids do and say

Sawyer is always saying the funnest things or doing things that make me laugh until I cry. I want to be able to remember these things as she gets older. I have made a promise to myself that I am going to keep better record of all the funny and cute things all the kids do. I am sure there will be more post of Sawyer when we do not have the boys, but I want to be able and look back at all the cute and sweet things our 4 blessings have done. So I am going to start with a few things from the past month.

While we were visiting Mike's parents in Elko Sawyer and I have lots of fun spending the day with grandma Kris. It was a very cold day and we decided that we need some hot choco to warm us up. We went to Star Bucks. We ordered 3 hot chocos. Kris and I thought that ours were so good. Sawyer DID NOT! She stated that her's tasted like dirt and mushrooms. I told her to drink her hot choco that she wanted so bad. I was a little bugged that she did not like it after she begged for it. So after we get home I was still cold and though I would heat up her hot choco she did not drink. It was some kind of COFFEE drink. That is right.......I made my child drink coffee. I swear I had not idea. It was so gross. I felt horrible. The lesson I learned from this is that I need to really listen to my kids and not just assume without knowing.

A new thing she has started whle I was reading Twilight was being attracted to things. She keep telling Mike I was so attracted to the books. Now her and Mike are attracted to the new camera.

There will be more to come about each kid. I have to sit down and ask Mike about things from the summer. I am truely blessed to be a mother and have this wonderful little family. I love them all so much. I miss our boy more then words can express. We are so excited for Thanksgiving. We get them for 5 days!!!! YEAH!!!!

New Hair DO

So about 6 weeks ago I had the worst hair cut ever!!! I went to a lady in Las Vegas and she made a HUGE mess of my hair. I cried and had a melt down and about gave my poor husband a nervous break down over it. Anyways, last week I went to Rose at Sheers and she fixed it. Thank you Rose, you are a miracle worker. I was planning on growing it out but now everyone tells me how cute it looks. I have never gotten so many compliments on my hair before. So everyone give me your opinion.....Keep it short or grow it back in to an A-line. This is a super easy hair cut and I am starting to like it. Mike will never give me his opinion again after the melt down. ( I really scared him )So give me some feed back.

Ashton's blessing and a hunting trip for Mike

On Friday morning, Sawyer, Mike, and I headed to Ut for baby Ashton's blessing. Ashton is my younger sister Kathy's new baby. We arrived about 6:30 p.m. and got Sawyer already to go trick or treat en with her cousins Connor and Mitchell. We walked Kathy's neighborhood and the kids got tons of candy. We then went to Dawn's house to sleep. The next morning my darling husband headed out to go pheasant hunting with Dawn's husband Mike. ( Dawn is my cousin and very good friend) They left at 7:00 a.m. and made it home at 6:00 p.m. Mike had a good time and was able to walk over 5 miles and keep up with everyone. His legs are getting better all the time. We had a great time spending time with family and going to dinner at the Texas Road House. YUMMY! Sunday was a great day. Andrew gave Ashton a very beautiful blessing. I am so lucky to have been born into a very loving family. We headed home early because the weather was bad. Good thing it took us about 2 extra hours to get home cause of the heavy rains. I only have two pictures that turned out from this weekend. Good thing Mike bought me a new Nikon D-90. I am so excited. Now I will have awesome pictures for the blog. YEAH!!!!!

Kindergarten Pumpkin Patch

Two weeks ago Sawyer's kindergarten class went to the Hardy pumpkin patch. My friend Brandi sent me this picture of Sawyer at the patch. I couldn't go because of my foot. Sawyer had so much fun and came home so dirty. You can tell that they played hard and walked over 2 miles that day. Thanks for the picture Brandi!

P.M. Kindergarten Parade and Halloween Party

Waiting for the parade to start

Last Thursday Sawyer's kindergarten had their Halloween Party. All the little ones dressed up and got to make spider hats, mudd pie cups, eat pizza, and do a little crazy dancing during the cake walk. Before the party they joined in the Bowler Elem. Halloween Costume Parade. Lot's of fun for everyone. Thanks to all the moms who made the party lots of fun. And a BIG THANKS to Mrs. C for being the GREATEST kindergarten teacher ever. Sawyer was a witchy princesses. She was suppose to be a witch. We had to make last minute improvements to the costume. Our good friend Gerilyn let her borrow her homecoming crown for the costume. Sawyer made sure everyone knew that she was wearing a homecoming crown
