Pumpkins

Canyon got his own guts out and drew his face.

His idea and how it turned out.

Sahara decided to use the stem as a nose.

Mom copied her idea.

Our little patch!

What is this?!?!

For the first time in FOREVER, I get to use my coat closet as a legitimate coat closet! It's been the craft closet since we moved here for the last 17 years. How exciting that I have a coat closet!

Even though I tossed half of my supplies, I still managed to fill up the space left in Sahara's room on the shelves. My new craft supply area.

Clinton Buddy Walk

We were hoping to get a Buddy Walk for this area started.  But that didn't happen so we headed to Clinton, Ar., a little over an hour away, to join theirs.



Since we registered late we didn't know if we would get t-shirts or not so Sahara made us some.  They say Canyon's T21 Tribe.

After getting lost 3 times in Clinton (they have way too many things called Archie Fork there!) we finally found the park.

There were games and bump and jumps and of course safety vehicles that Canyon had to try out.

They had made each person with DS a banner and we brought the poster.  They were lined up around the walking trail.

Canyon's friend, Logan from baseball was there too.

One of the games was quarters in the haystack.  Canyon found 5.

We did end up getting shirts, but Sahara's were cute and it was easier to not lose Canyon in the masses of yellow there.  He stuck out in his red shirt.

After the games and the walk we had hot dogs, chips, soda, loud music and dancing.  We also opened Canyon's cards and gifts for the rest of his birthday celebration.

Thank you for all the gift cards, money, gifts and happy birthday wishes!!

I almost forgot, Canyon's name was the one called for the main giveaway door prize!  He won an Origami DS necklace (for mom :) ) 

Even though it was 20 degrees above normal for today, 90!!, we had a great time in Clinton and if we don't have a local Buddy Walk to go to next year, I'm sure we will come back here again.  Even getting lost, it was a very nice town.

Sahara changes up for Fall

What a difference a new cut and color can make!

Canyon turns 19!

After a fun day at STAR (he went bowling and the ice cream truck came), we went out for pizza and then shared a jumbo cupcake.

Happy Birthday big guy!
