Halloween Decorations

Scott — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 03:33:02 +0000

Each year we add a little more. After putting up last year’s decorations we concluded we have a very wide house so the decorations didn’t go as far. This year’s decorations include 200ft of freight tape, 9 black lights, 8 spiders, 7 flying ghosts, 7 pumpkins, 6 bags of spider webs, 4 scary men, 3 strobe lights, 2 fog machines, 2 black cats, and much more. The whole front of the house is decorated. I have a few pictures, but it’s hard to get a the real feel for it through the camera.

Bishop Pumpkin Farm

We continued our yearly tradition of visiting the Bishop Pumpkin Farm. This year the weather was perfect. Not too hot not too cold. We went on a Monday so the kids the place to themselves. They all wore themselves out running up the hill to go down the slide over and over. See the photo gallery for pictures.

Knock Knock is Anyone Home

Yes we are around and someday we hope to get back to updating this page like we use to. Turns out moving with two little ones take a lot of time. Sadly we still have boxes to unpack and a long list of projects to complete. Though through all the fun we contine to snap some great pictures. I finally posted up all those pictures. Go to the photo gallery to see them

Life as a SAHM (stay at home mom in blog world)

Emily — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 07:15:20 +0000

Well it’s hard to believe that Courtney will be 11 weeks old this week, time really has flown by! She smiles and laughs all the time, she is sleeping for a straight 5-6 hours at night and has managed to escape any serious harm at the hands of her overly loving sister. Kaitlyn loves being a big sister but she doesn’t understand that Courtney is real. I often find my self saying, “gentle Kaitlyn” or “be nice Kaitlyn”. She is learning and has some really sweet moments with her sister. If Courtney is crying Kaitlyn will give her a pacifier or give her kisses and and say, “don’t cry baby”. She loves to hold her and likes to help with her bottles. I could really get used to this stay at home mom routine! Mondays we try to make it to the kids gym but getting anywhere by 9am is a little challenging. Tuesdays we go to story time at the library so Kaitlyn can “shake her sillies out” (this is a wiggles song that the kids love!) Wednesdays we go down to Rocklin and visit the family. Then the rest of the week we just hang out at home, unless I’m feeling adventurous. We definitely have our challenging days, and being the sole entertainment for Kaitlyn can be exhausting, but I’m really loving being at home with the girls. Going back to work in April is going to be really hard, why can’t we just win the lottery!

Santa Clause is coming to Rocklin?

Scott — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 04:46:59 +0000

Santa visits Rocklin again. He is greeted with three more kids this year. The triplets to be exact. Like last year Austin got up there and showed everyone how it was done. Kaitlyn followed soon after and wanted nothing to do with the man in red. Sydney and Lucas also wanted nothing to do with him while the triplets who didn’t know better sat and pulled at his beard. All of them got a present from Santa so they were happy. We snapped a handful of good pictures. Sadly everyone had a camera so each kid was looking at a different one for the group shots. Maybe next year we will be more organized.

Halloween 2009

Scott — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 14:55:10 +0000

Another Halloween has past and lots more scared kids visited the Sawin house. This year we added lots of new items including a second fog machine, things that drop from the sky and best of all eerie music. The sounds of cat fights, ravens, and other eerie sounds kept many kids and teenagers walking right on by our house. I figure the more that walk by the more candy I will have after Halloween. We started Halloween early this year. The kids started out painting pumpkins while the big kids took power tools to the rest of the pumpkins. Will won this year with an Elmo pumpkin. Overall another great Halloween, I can’t wait until next year. Click on the picture below to see more pictures.

Another Trip to Shanghi Park

Scott — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 23:09:02 +0000

Another Saturday morning at the park. We discovered why other kids don’t go to the park early. We all know its not because the kids like to sleep in but the slides are wet. Kaitlyn’s cousins came out to play also. Click to see more pictures

Pumpkin Patch 2009

Scott — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 01:00:11 +0000

Back to the pumpkin patch again in 2009. It was a bit different than last year. First the summer heat was still around so we all roasted. Secondly those cute pictures of Kaitlyn sitting on the pumpkins last year were nearly impossible this year. Last year we were worried that she might fall off on of those big pumpkins where as this year getting her to sit on a pumpkin for 30 seconds was not very easy. Over all we had a good time but we would like to go again in cooler weather. Click on the picture to see more.
