Snow Days

Sawyer, the dogs and I just got back from a walk in the snow and fog. Really beautiful out there. I actually took this walk yesterday but didn't have my camera so we repeated it today.






A self photo to show how much fun we were having...at least I look to be having a good time :)




Some backyard fun a couple days ago....

A November Walk

Packed everyone up and took a walk down by the Snake River today. Sunny but windy and cold. Sawyer didn't seem to mind a bit.










A picture of the other "kids".....posing for us patiently.



Catching a sniff of some rotten fish down by the river - we had them stay far away from that!

The Pumpkin

Some pictures of Sawyer posing by his pumpkin this afternoon. It was sunny but really cold out today! If it were up to me, I wouldn't of spent much time outside but Sawyer insisted :)





Our pumpkin was to be carved soon before Halloween but our friendly neighborhood squirrels had other ideas. It has been completely gutted and eaten.

Our little chicken

Tonight Sawyer attended his 1st Halloween party and went as a chicken. Of course, we got plenty of pictures!



Mama and her chicken


Sawyer and a little cowgirl met and his costume was an immediate hit


She was quite taken with Sawyer...or rather, the chicken, and had to be bribed away from him the rest of the night!










A full view to get the ful effect of this costume :)



A prize won to make the night complete "Our little fireman chicken"...is tired and ready for bed!

Fall Fun

Sawyer and Quila had some fun in the backyard yesterday :) What a pair. How did I get so lucky!

Sawyer in the tub

Not in the bath tub but thought it made a cute picture anyway....



I can't believe it's been a month since I posted last. September just flew away.

October already!!

The first picture here is of Sawyer when he just got into the tub on his own in the house. I thought it was so cute I moved the prop and him outside.

Enjoy!

Sawyer's Hike

The 2nd day of September & we decided to take advantage of the few warm days we have left.




Dora (our 9 year old foster doggie) enjoying nature & taking a break on the walk :)




A quick stop to snap a pic next to the beautiful wild sunflowers. They are in bloom all along the trail.



Sawyer & Dada taking a break in the shade after the hike & enjoying the view...but what are they looking at?




The dogs! They found a great way to get cool quick :)




Sawyer, Dan & Dora having fun in the water after a hike....

Our Day

Today Sawyer & I took our usual walk. Dora, our foster doggie is pictured with Sawyer. She has lost 17 lbs. since we got her in May! She loves her walks :) We all enjoyed the cooler weather by hanging out in the backyard with Sawyer's new shovel he got from Papa & Grandma.

Dinner with friends

Tonight we hosted a small group of visiting Rwanda students and enjoyed every bit of it. Sawyer was a hit...of course :) The high school students were selected because they were at the top of their classes so they were incredibly articulate and a lot of fun to chat with.

Pool Party

Sawyer had lots of fun today with his next door neighbor friend, Riley. They were both not interested in EVER coming out of the pool!
