A Day in Holden

Mom, Jim, Sawyer and I went to Holden yesterday for a day of jelly making and yard work! This was Sawyers first trip down there and I think he rather enjoyed himself. While he was sleeping Jim and I got to get out and go for a ride on the 4-wheeler. I always feel really weird when I don't have Sawyer with me...when we got back he was awake so we gave him a ride up the driveway! He was obsessed with all the buttons. :) I felt a little like Britney Spears though....
I love the Fall!! The colors at grandma and grandpas were amazing! Just look at their house!
I missed having my sisters there so all the kids could run around terrorizing Holden! (not Lisa's Holden...the town...) Ahhhhh the memories...it's really depressing not being able to go get penny candy.

Pumpkins

You know...there is something really satisfying about carving a pumpkin. I'm not sure whether it has to do with all the work put into it, or just the part where you get to get all goopy and dig those slimy guts out...I'm going to have to say the latter...
Sawyer LOVED the pumpkin patch, though you might not be able to tell from the lack of a smile...but, that's just Sawyer. So serious all the time. :) He pretty much thought it was the coolest thing ever climbing all over the pumpkins! Jim really got into it this year! His is the graveyard scene. Pretty spectacular if you ask me. :) Sadly I ran out of time so Sawyer will have to wait for his.
Having a kid makes everything more fun during holidays.

MY BIRTHDAY!!

I don't think I could ever get tired of my birthday...I might complain I'm getting old, but really, I love when my birthday comes around. I get to be Queen for a day. Jim took care of Sawyer while I got to go shopping with mom. I love new clothes... thanks mom! My task is to resist all the goodies that seem to be everywhere in such abundance during the holidays so that these clothes will continue to fit. You know, I love being a mom, but it sure is nice to get out without kids every once and a while to do something for ME.


Those of you who forgot my birthday....you know who you are...shame on you!!! You know how I hold a grudge!
