Thanksgiving...

We spent Thanksgiving at Rick and Nancy Daniels house with Russ' best friends from high school and their families. We had a great time running around with all of the kids and of course eating a lot of good food!This is all of the kids that were there: Sawyer, Rowen, Kohen, Ainsley, Haley, Peyton, Mea, and Bodie.

Alison and Haley being silly!

Grammy Kathy and Sawyer- the girls can't stop talking about Grammy Kathy and love the stick ponies she gave them.

Sawyer was very into Nancy's old school desk and probably spent a hour climbing in and out of it. Hopefully that means she'll be a good student! Rowen and Kohen playing on the piano with Aunt Nancy.

The three boys and the kids- we are going to need a bigger couch!!

Russ and the girls (sawyer is in the backpack behind him) and Luke and Kohen at the holiday parade. Ashland has a little parade that ends with Santa and the lighting of the Christmas tree/ whole downtown. It was fun but cold.

                              

COUSINS!

Auntie Heidie and cousin Kennedie came to visit for Sawyer's birthday. And of course we tried to get a picture of the three girls and of course it was nearly impossible! What were we thinking?

I love this one because kennedie and rowen are smiling at each other`

One set of closed eyes and two babies looking.

Rowen is supposed to be the older child but she hates getting her picture taken so she is more of a challenge than the babies.

They are obviously looking at auntie who is jumping up and down like a monkey! Kennedie has that look like, "I can't believe that is my mother!!"

I think this is as close as we got to smiles.

Kennedie has the best smile!

A few more from Halloween

Rowen and I carved a pumpkin at the Skeds annual carving party.

Our pumpkins are the two tiny ones toward the right side. A lot of pumpkins and a lot of fun!

Sawyer in her monkey suit

Our decorating projects. The girls and adults had so much fun!

Rowen smiling

I love this picture of her because her smile looks exactly like my brothers.

Happy Halloween

Avery, Campbell, Sawyer, Rowen and Grant

Sawyer is so impressed with Campbell's bear hat.

Rowen in her serious face!

Rowen and Avery on a scavenger hunt for candy.

Sawyer trying her best to keep up with the girls!

The dad's hid in a shed and the girls trick or treated the shed. They were very shocked to see the guys when the garage door opened.

Rachel's pictures

Our good friend Rachel offered to take pictures of our girls and they turned out so great! Thank you Rachel!

Rowen hugging Sawyer and Sawyer hating it!

Sawyer loving her rock!

The only picture of the girls where they are both looking at the camera. It would be too much to ask for them to smile!

Rowen smiling. Rachel asked her to show her teeth and she was happy to comply. Anything for Rachel!!

This is my favorite picture of Sawyer, it is so her!

Miss Bright eyes

Rowen at the end of a long day

The Farm

For Sawyers birthday the whole family went to the "Farm," a local petting zoo. Rowen was in HOG heaven! We barely walked through the doors and the next thing I know she is laying on a pig and then kissed him. She ran around that place like the roadrunner!

Sawyer and Grammie

Rowen petting a wallaby. The poor thing was terrified of her.

Rowen, goat, Kennedie and Auntie Heidie

Rowen loves goats! She was talking to them and singing to them!

Tia and Sawyer

Rowen feeding the goats

She also couldn't resist putting her finger in the bright pink opening that sits just below the goats tail! Yeah, that was GROSS! Maybe she'll be a vet?!?

Sawyer turns ONE!

These are pictures I took for her birthday invitation! I think she enjoys looking like a princess.

She really enjoyed her cupcake.

Couldn't get enough in her mouth at one time!

She didn't really understand the candle and just wanted to grab the fire. But big sister swooped in and blew it out for her!

This is a scary picture but the only family one we have from her party!

Auntie Heidie made this cute hat for Sawyer.
