Fresh Air

Back in the end of September we were itching to get out of the house. We were still mourning our sweet Bugaboo and Sawyer was finally feeling better (he had an Asthma attack 2 days after Bugaboo died and had to go to the ER for a couple hours to receive some breathing treatments) and we thought it would be best for us to breath in some fresh fall air and get a little exercise. We went to a little hiking spot by our house and the kids looked so cute and we all had lots of fun exploring and chatting.

Sawyer plays soccer - The Terminators! Fall 2015

We signed Sawyer up for team soccer this year and we are so happy we did! He had the best time and really shined out there on that field! He loved his teammates and coaches and it was so fun to watch him play and grow as a soccer player! His last game was on Halloween and we are already looking forward to the Spring season!

I tried to take pictures at every game (I only missed one due to Blair and I traveling) but I really need a new lens ;)

Bugaboo - We miss you

Back on September 18th we lost our sweet Bugaboo. She had passed away in her sleep during the day when we were all away from home (work/school/etc.) It was quite shocking and unexpected, we think about her all the time and our life still doesn't feel the same without her.

She was such a sweet dog who loved being told she was a good girl. She loved chasing things and loved her sister dog, Puki. A month and a half later it is just finally sinking in to me that she isn't here anymore.

We miss you so much Bugaboo - I hope you are chasing squirrels in doggy heaven.

Sawyer's First Day of Kingergarten

I am skipping over a few weeks worth of stuff because I just can't find the time to gather all the photos needed. (I will eventually)

ANYWAY, here is my big boy, his FIRST day of Kindergarten and I just can't believe it. We spent the week leading up to the big day reading books about Kindergarten. He was pumped. He seemed to enjoy school shopping and he was most excited about his shoes, lunchbox, and backpack. Mike took Blair to daycare that morning so I could put all of my focus on my Sawyer. For our district all schools have full day kindergarten starting this year and his school doesn't start until 9:20 so we didn't feel rushed getting ready. His school is just a few blocks away so we walked over and I could barely keep it together. The second I walked out of the school I lost it and cried the whole walk home.

He was so adorable in his class and I may have hung around for too long before leaving.... I don't think I know of anyone more confident than Sawyer, seriously. He loves to make friends and will talk to anyone. He had so many stories when I picked him up that day: "Mom, I didn't eat all my lunch but I'm so hungry right now. I don't remember my friends names but I'll remember tomorrow. There was another teacher named Stephanie (teach aide) and I tried to tell her that was your name too but she kept on talking to other people....I should tell her tomorrow. I don't ever want to get a hot lunch, some of my friends got hot lunches, not me. We read a story about a cat and I liked but I wished she read a peppa pig story." We love him more than words can say.

Blair looking adorable at pick up!
