Farewell Georgia... for now.

There has been some last minute changes in my plans and I now leave this week to go out west. I will be gone a full month this time and I am really sad to be leaving Ryan for so long and over Halloween! So this will be my last post for a while but when I get back I'm sure I will have TONS to post about. Love you all!

We had a little Halloween celebration at the Cersey's house this last weekend. We let the kids paint their own pumpkins and tried to prevent them from eating the paint... well mainly that was Maggie that tried to eat the paint but it was really funny! (It was nontoxic!) Aiden feels he is an artist and would get so frustrated if we tried to help him. (Look at his little determined/focused face in those pictures.) This also meant he had a meltdown when we tried to take the paint brush away. We made sure to dress Aiden in his pumpkin shirt so he could celebrate in the full spirit of Halloween.
Since I will be gone for the next month I am missing the rest of Ryan's flag football games so I decided to take pictures at the last one I would be at. As it turns out, the other team got the time wrong and forfeited the game. I was so bummed! I was there to see some football and wanted to see some. Well, it worked out fine because team Swagger (us) decided to play a game any way with just their own team. I was happy cause Aiden and I got to watch some football. Go Swaggers! I hope you win the Championship this year!

This picture documents perfectly Aiden's newest obsession. See that look of pure joy on his face? That is because I just handed him his car. Yes, he LOVES cars. He loves watching movies with cars (aka Disney's CARS) and he will carry a car around with him most of the day and "vroom, vroom" it on every surface. I sure do adore this little boy.
Also, this last month for me was taken up with planning our Relief Society's Super Saturday crafting activity. I was soooo happy when it was over! We had a fun time though and the activity turned out great. Thanks to everyone who made it! Here are a few pics...

Sunday

Carnies and Flags

We enjoyed the County Fair with our friends. Aiden loved the one ride he was tall enough to go on and he also loved the petting zoo. Ryan loved the fact that he saw a woman look-alike of Hurley from the TV show Lost. All in all everyone was happy and enjoyed the fabulous opportunity to stare at all the carny people.

Bottom left pic in below collage - Aiden discovered how to unlock the case that held the newborn chicks. Luckily I noticed just in time.
Top left pic- Aiden happened to be so unlucky as to be petting the pig when it decided to poop. THE MOST FOUL THING I HAVE SMELLED!

Yes, it is that time of year again when Aiden and I become cheerleaders for Ryan's flag football team. We love to go to the games each Saturday and watch the Swaggers kick some flagged booties!
