Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving we started at my mom's while Ian worked. Ian was able to make it just in time for dinner, but then we had to leave and head to my dad's. Grandpa tried to feed Sawyer pumpkin pie! After that, we were supposed to go to Ian's sister's. His mom decided not to host it this year and his sister wanted to, but she lives about an hour from my dad's and half way there Ian said he was too tired and his mom had left already anyways, so we just went home and spent the evening together (a rarity with Ian's work schedule lately). Overall, it was a nice Thanksgiving, though I didn't get many pictures. Food was great and we ate way too much and came home with lots of left overs!

Halloween

This was Sawyer's first Halloween! He was a little monster and was oh so cute, if you ask me. We dropped him off with Grandma and Grandpa for the night, while we went to a small couples party. They were so excited to have him! They bought him his first pumpkin bucket and wanted to take him trick or treating, but the sewer was putting off a funny smell, so he just helped pass out candy. Ian and I had a good time hanging out with a few of our friends and keeping it pretty mellow. Ian was supposed to a local Hawaiian, which is pretty much white trash with flip flops and Hawaiian shirts! I was supposed to be Wednesday from the Adams Family. Cheap costumes, but a good time!

Happy Halloween!

Pumpkin Carving

Usually, we carve pumpkins with our friends, Jocelyn and Chris. Ian's schedule has been all over the place though. so scheduling a time to get together was difficult and then they got sick right before we were supposed to carve pumpkins and we didn't want the baby getting sick, so we missed this year. :(

We had a good time with just our little family though. Sawyer refused his nap that he should have taken right before we were to carve pumpkins, so he fell asleep sitting in his Bumbo seat! Ian and I enjoyed a few beers while carving our pumpkins and had a good time chatting. Ian wanted more pumpkin seeds though! He brined the seeds and then seasoned them in different flavor batches and baked them the next day. They were so good!

Pumpkin Patch with Gma and Gpa

We went to the pumpkin patch with Sawyer's grandma and grandpa. My dad asked what Sawyer would even do at a pumpkin patch and ended up being the one to hold him the whole time and show him the animals and put him on things! It was too cute! They are both so funny with Sawyer and I am so glad they love him so much and want to do things with him.

4th of July

This 4th of July we went to Ian's brother's house. Ian worked during the day, so we didn't get there until the afternoon. We hung out with the kids and BBQed and enjoyed yummy foods. Then we walked to the top of this hill by their house to watch fireworks. We were able to see fireworks from just about every surrounding city! It was pretty neat, because every direction you turned, you could see more fireworks. After that, we had our own firework show in front of the house. Ian had bought a huge pack of fireworks, because we can do fireworks where we live. Some were small and lame, but there were actually a handful of really awesome ones! The boys just loved watching them and it was so fun watching their faces as they stared at the lights!

Happy Easter!

Dying Easter Eggs

We held our third annual Easter Egg dying get together with the Sukraws at our new place. It was pretty mellow, especially because I can't drink right now. Our eggs turned out amazing and my egg salad sandwiches I had for the next week were delicious! I can't wait for next year and Sawyer can join in the fun!

I look absolutely horrid in these pictures!
