Daddy's Boy

For some reason last night, Brayden was a Daddy's boy. He didn't want anything to do with me. Didn't want me to hold him or play with him....nothing. This is a very rare moment. Lately he has been clinging to me and not letting me more than 2 inches from him. If I try to sneak away to do something and he sees me, it results in a screaming, crying, chasing after me ordeal. I must admit that it was kind of nice because I was able to get dinner made and things taken care of without having to hold him while doing it, but it was kind of sad too, because I love the "being wanted" feeling. Here are a few pictures I snapped of the rare but wonderful moment.

What toy to play with??

Maybe this one?

Ooh...what's way down in there?

Ewey, Gooey Pumpkin Guts

With Halloween quickly approaching, (can this year go any faster?) we decided tonight would be a great night to carve Brayden's pumpkin. He was a little unsure about everything, but quickly dug right in. Definitely surprised us! Below are some pictures of the pumpkin carving event! By the way....Brayden is 13 months old today! Holy cow!! My baby is growing up!!

Look at my pumpkin Mama!

Eww...what is that?!?

Now with Mama looking for seeds so we can bake them! Yum!

Mmmm...pumpkins seeds....before they were baked. (Yuck!!)

I think the eye needs to go right here Daddy.

Happy Birthday Milo!

Today is Milo's 2nd birthday! When we got him, we thought he was a sweet, cute, innocent little puppy. But these past two years have proven us wrong....way wrong! He can still be cute, but he is no longer sweet and innocent. He is rambunctious, crazy, and high enery! Always getting into things and always chewing things up. Brayden and Milo make a great team...tag teaming it most nights. While our backs are turned taking care of Brayden, Milo is getting into something. Then when we are dealing with Milo, Brayden is getting into something. We swear they do it just to watch us run! :) Overall, these past couple years with him have proven to be fun and interesting. We wouldn't change it for anything...most days. :) Happy Birthday Milo!!

Not sure what is going on!

Pumpkin Patch and Donuts

Last Saturday, we all made the trek home to celebrate Dad's birthday and have a cook-out. That morning we decided would be the perfect time to make a trip to the pumpkin patch. We met up with some family friends of ours and had a great time. Nothing can beat the cool, crisp, fall air, apples, homemade donuts, a hay ride, a corn maze, and picking out pumpkins. Even little man loved it!

Eating donuts with Nana. Mmmm.....

Family Pic in the pumpkins. The only way we could get this half smile out of Brayden was to hold a donut over the camera while the picture was being taken. A boy after his daddy's heart! :)

Happy Anniversary!

Three years ago today, Sean and I began our life together as Mr. and Mrs. Fischer. It has been the best 3 years of my life. When we got married, my sister was the Maid of Honor. She had a line in her speech that speaks so true. She said "Years from now, may you look back on this day, your wedding day, as the day you loved each other the least." When she said that, I thought that I could never love Sean more than I did right then, in that moment. But Erin's quote has rang true these last 3 years. I fall more in love with him as each day passes.

So much has happened these last three years. I have moved from Michigan to Indiana and back to Michigan, we have built a new house, gotten a puppy, had a baby...Wow! Life is good.

Thank you so much for these past three years Sean! You have made me the happiest woman ever. I am thrilled that I get to spend the rest of my life with you. I look forward to another 90 years together!
