Sawyer 7 months!!

Just a quick update I missed. Oct 25th my little dude turned 7 months!! Time is flying!! I can't believe it. He has started crawling army crawl and clapping and developing a very sweet fun loving personality already! I can't believe in just a few short months we will be having his first birthday!!

North Carolina State Fair 2012

October 23th we took the kids to the North Carolina state fair! We try to always make it to the fair when it comes but this was obviously Sawyers first time, which makes it all the more exciting! :) Since we work way too many  hours we had to take the kids after work (Well we actually decided to drive up monday night as well, just Derek and I while the kids stayed home with Grandma Betsy. Date night! Whoo) Anyway, we didnt get there until about 7pm and we stayed a little late so we could squeeze out as much fun as we could! Derek and Jordan rode several rides. Jordan really wanted to ride the ferris wheel so this is what me and sawyer did while we waited for nearly 40minutes!!

 

Fireworks! (Derek and Jordan got the pleasure of watching these from the top of the ferris wheel, soooo sweet haha)

 

Sawyer was having a blast despite the nippy air that night

 

 

Here is Jordan and Daddy on their first ride of the night, hard to get a picture they were flying!

 

They had a kid roller coaster and Jorda asked to go all by herself! We were a little surprised, though I dont know why, this child is a thrill seeker.

 

 

On to the petting zoo. This was so cool to me for some reason, maybe because I have never seen a camel in real life. Pretty dang cool if you ask me. Way better than the Zoo and a million times faster haha. You were able to touch and feed the animals, which was very neat!

 

 

Jordan feeding the Camel!!

 

 

Look how far back she jerked her hand when he put his mouth on it haha. He was determined to get that food though.

Sawyer and a llama, tried to squeeze him into the pic lol

 

 

Jordan found a little baby goat

 

We promised Jordan face painting which she loved, since it was filled with lots of glitter.

 

 

Sawyer riding on Daddys shoulders again, he loves it!

 

 

Giant slide.

That wrapped up our trip to the fair and we headed on the long walk to the car. The kids fell asleep almost instantly and we enjoyed some grown up conversation. Im glad we wer able to make it up there even though it was late and cold. Hopefully next year it will be a little warmer!

Punkin patch!

Two weeks ago Derek and I took the kids to the pumpkin patch at Gross Farms. This was the first time Derek was able to go there, last year he opted to work the daycare so Jordan and I could go. This year was even more fun because not only did daddy get to go but so did baby Sawyer! It was a lot of fun for Jordan, especially since they added a cool new slide! Luckily the line was short and she got to slide several times! Little man didn't get to play yet but he had fun people watching from the stroller! I'm looking forward to next year when sawyer can run around, boy am I going to have my hands full!
P.s. this was also Derek's very first time playing corn hole! Had to capture this special moment. Lol

Sawyers first beach trip!

The beginning of September we decided on a whim to drive to the beach one weekend before the season was over. It was Sawyers first time at the beach! He wasn't too sure about the water even though he is normally really excited about baths. I, however was really excited to take him since my second love is the beach. Little man was six months old, which was coincidently about the same age his big sister was when I took her the first time. She is another little water baby. I told her not to get wet, so naturally she was completely submerged and soaked. I am already looking forward to taking them back when it warms up again and my little dude can walk! They will have a blast!

The Color Run!

Last month Derek and I ran our first 5K! The Color Run, It was awesome! I was worried I would not be in shape enough since its only been six months since I had Sawyer, however I really surprised myself and ran most of it! This is one run we want to continue to do every year!

And again I don't know how to make the pictures go in order, my phone shuffles them for some reason.

Catching up on sawyer!

These are Some of my favorite pictures from over the summer. Im Uploading from my phone for the first time, I haven't figured out all quirks! I just want to make sure I get all these wonderful memories saved to my blog!
