Playing in the Snow!

We have had a lot of fun playing in the snow this year! Too bad it's not over! I can't wait for spring. Even the dogs have had fun in the snow this year. This is Scooter. This is both Scooter and Jake. They had a blast chasing eachother around the back yard. There were a couple of spots that the snow was so deep, they had to hop to get thru it! It was cute!

Cody has had a lot of fun crawling around in the snow and pretending all kinds of things. He has quite the imagination.

When he would go down the slide, between the snow, and the snowpants, he would go another 4-5 feet off the bottom of the slide.

In this one, he is pretending he is swimming.

Halloween

Cody wanted to be a spider for Halloween, but I couldn't find a spider costume anywhere! So Travis and I had to make it. We took an old backpack, cut off everything, left the shoulder straps, and the piece that goes against his back. Some baby tights full of newspaper, hand stitched it all together, and BAM a spider costume! It took us a total of about 20 hours to make! It all had to be hand stitched because it wouldn't fit in my sewing machine! But he had a good time, he got tons of candy! We had 4 lights hanging on him though, it was hard to see him in the dark in a black costume! lol He kept going around on his hands and knees pretending to make spider webs everywhere. It was really funny! I hope you all a good and safe Halloween. Lots of Love!

Playing in the leaves

These are from last night. I bought the dogs little orange sweaters. I didn't used to like people that dressed up their dogs, but now I see that it is practical. They are Chihuahua's so they get cold very easily, and the sweaters are very nice. Cody had a blast helping me rake the leaves and then jumping in them. He kept tackling me and trying to throw leaves in my face. I actually found a piece of a leaf in my ear after I got out the shower! Fall is my favorite time of year. I love all the colors and the smell of the leaves. Too bad it doesn't last very long! Snow is on the way!

Field Trip to Indian Rock Preserve

We went to Indian Rock last week on a field trip with Cody's class. It is an Apple Orchard in Wolcott. We learned about all the different types of apples, and she told the story of Johnny Appleseed. Then we went to the cider house, and we made our very own apple cider! It was actually very tasty! Even I got to give the cider press a try! Then we went into the orchard, and she showed us all the beehives they have, and then everyone got to pick their very own apple from a tree. The kids had a blast and it was very educational.

Berry pickin' and the fair

We finally got Cody on a horse!! He used to freak out and wouldn't go near them! I was so happy. This was taken at the Goshen fair out hear in CT. We had gone and picked blueberries in the morning and stopped at the fair on our way home. Cody brought his friend Michael along.
There was a bug.....he hates bugs! What kind of boy doesn't like bugs?! He doesn't even like Lady Bugs!
I think Cody ate more than he picked! They say that you can eat some as your picking, but he wouldn't stop eating them. We had actually gone to get rasberries so that I could make jam, but we got there too late, and all the rasberries were already gone:(

My Wedding

This is me and Travis with my new in-laws. His mom Carolyn and his step dad Gene. Unfortuanatly his dad wasn't able to make it down from Maine. My parents weren't able to make it either.

This is me, Cody, and my best friend/maid of Honor, Lizzie Pope.

The Roy family!

The ring exchanges...

Cody walking me down the aisle.

For some reason it put them backwards when I downloaded the, guess next time I should upload them backwards then maybe they will come out the right way.

There are more pictures that I will post later, I have to get the rest of the pictures from the other people that had cameras.

The 4th of July

We had a blast on the fourth of July! We went to my friend Sara's parents house for a BBQ and drinks then walked down to a local park for a firework show. The pic of the guys is Steve, (Sara's fiance) Travis, and Shayne. Marissa sleeping, she slept through the entire fireworks show! She could sleep through a train wreck...

This is Sara with her neice, Mackenzie, Mackenzie loved the fireworks she kept waving at them.

This is Cody, me, and Travis at the firwork show, we had a great time, the kids were a little cranky because it was so late, Nick didn't want his picture taken and he cried every time I tried, that's why there isn't one of Nick.

This is me and Marissa at Noni and Papa's house, the kids all played in a little kiddy pool, and had a blast. It was great food, great drinks, and a great time with excellent friends and "family"! Thanks Noni and Papa for having us over! I miss you Sara!
