Finley Sawyer.





It's a BOY!!!! We are super excited to be adding another little boy to our family....although I am completely outnumbered now! Eek!

Also, sidenote, 3D (4D?) ultrasounds are totally creepy. If little Finley doesn't fatten up, he is going to come out looking like some creepy alien/chihuahua hybrid.

The Zoo!

A couple weeks ago, we packed up our family and headed to Tulsa to go to their zoo. We brought along our friends Jeff and Kayla and made it a day! We got to the zoo at about 11 am and it was empty.....and COLD!!! The zoo could probably use a little updating (there were a lot of exhibits under construction) but we had a lot of fun!

After the zoo, we headed down to the shopping district to eat and browse around. We had lunch at PF Changs and then perused their stores. Shopping while pregnant is depressing though because there's no point in buying anything! We did pick out the sheets and comforter for Peyton's big boy room (which will debut after Christmas).

They had camel rides....I was kind of hoping all of the animals at the zoo would be available to ride.

Halloween!

On Halloween day, we headed down to the Fayetteville Square for some trick-or-treating! The city had closed off the square so that the kids could all safely trick-or-treat with the vendors. It was pretty crowded and you had to stand in long lines to get the candy but it was pretty fun! Peyton was a wee bit overwhelmed with the crowds but I think he enjoyed his first official trick-or-treating experience (last year he had pneumonia).

P.S. He's a train conductor :)

Hay ride!

On Sunday, our "neighborhood" had a little Halloween/Fall party. People brought snacks (we brought cookies - didn't even think to bring cute Halloween themed snacks like other people) and we had a great time getting to chat with everyone. Our neighbor bought hay and put it on the trailer so that we could have a hay ride around our little green area! He hitched the trailer up to his tractor and we all piled in for a hayride! It was so much fun!! Peyton had a blast! P refused to wear his Halloween costume even though his buddy Maddox was all dressed up as Elmo!

He's officially an "Arkansian" now (look at the hay in his mouth!)

Stream of consciousness (or Peyton's view of the world)

I tried to sleep in Peyton's room last night because he wasn't feeling well (and at 10:30 was still awake and crying) - it was interesting to say the least. I moved his train table and inflated the blow-up mattress so he could snuggle with me while he fell asleep. Wellllllll, sleep wasn't on his agenda. He spent about an hour just talking and talking.....it was an interesting peek into his mind. It went something like this:


Monkey. Monkey. MONKEY. Snap. Snap. SNAAAAAAAAAP. Ooooo-oooo-aaaa-aaaaa. (He then proceeded to flail his arms around and smack his hands together). Moooooooooooooonkey. Momma. Dadda. Momma. Dadda. Mooooooooooooooooooma. Gigi STOP. Papa STOP. Momma STOP. Dadda STOP. Stop. Stop. STOOOOOOOOOOOOOP. Momma house. Dadda house. Peyton house. Pretty hair. I brush hair? Head. Heeeeeeeead (while touching my face). Nose. Momma nose. Head. Head. Head. I need milk. MILK! MILK! MILK! I neeeeeeeeeeeed milk! I need water. I need water. I need coke. COKE. COKE! COKE! COKE! I neeeeeeeed coke! I need french fries. FRENCH FRIES! Momma, french fries! Please coke, please. Momma please? Dadda. Daaaaaaadda. DADDAAAAAAA! Bee. Bee. Bee. Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

After about an hour of this (and him getting increasingly louder), I put him back in his bed and returned to my room. Crazy boy.

Mega-Post

My poor little blog got neglected again. Sorry kiddos. Lots of stuff has happened in the past month, so here is a recap:

1. Peyton is talking more and more lately! He says full sentences and also tries to get our attention by repeating the same things OVER and OVER.

2. He says "hello penis" and "goodbye penis" when we change his diaper. Yeah, I don't know.

3. He goes crazy fast on his bike now. He can coast for really long periods of time! I'll try to catch a video of it in the next week.

4. Two of my beautiful cousins got married the past couple months (not to each other. I live in Arkansas but we're not *from* Arkansas. Kidding, kidding!)

5. We are going to start potty training.....sometime.

6. We had a great three weeks in Texas and went to a bouncy house place and the zoo!

7. Oh yeah, I'm pregnant.

Picture Overload time.

First Thursday

This past Thursday, we headed to Fayetteville Square to partake in "First Thursday" activities with some friends. On the first Thursday of the month, they have live music, craft vendors, entertainment and an outdoor beer set-up. We had some pizza (Peyton only ate crust for some reason) and then walked around the square for an hour. We got to see a guy doing bike tricks, a mechanical dragon that sprayed water and bubbles, and all sorts of other things!
