Homecoming Week

For most years of my life Homecoming always lands on or around my birthday.  This year was no exception.  I love the festivities that go with homecoming, a football game, usually a 5k race, a parade, dances (I just pretend they are all for me).  My parents, well my mom, was here for most of the week to visit with us.  I really enjoy when there is somebody else around to entertain Sawyer throughout the day so I can get ready without a helper or actually use the bathroom in peace.  Nobody lets you in on that little tidbit of becoming a mom.  

For my birthday we played miniature golf and went out to eat.  I tried to make this dessert I found on pinterest.  The recipe looked awesome and the pictures on pinterest did too but the end result disappointed me to be honest.  I will have to try again.  We did endulge in some awesome Caramel Cashew Aggie Ice Cream though.  The best. 

My mom and I were cleaning up the kitchen and this is what we found when we looked in the living room.  I thought it was so adorable.  Sawyer wants to be just like the big guys. 

On Friday Travis decided we should go look at the Kokanee Salmon that swim up from Porcupine Reservoir.  I miss the salmon runs that I enjoyed while living on the Klamath River.  It is amazing to see the fish at the end of the long journey.  I was a little surprised by the size of these fish compared to the salmon in the Klamath.  Don't get me wrong, I knew they wouldn't be as big as the ones on the Klamath but these fish were like fish you would find in a big fish tank.  They were pretty cool though . The river was so packed.  We enjoyed walking up the river and for Sawyers enjoyment throwing rocks, it never gets old does it? 

Saturday was the Homecoming Parade.  It was fun to go out and see the support from the community for the University.  The parade was full of bands and dance academy's.  Sawyer really enjoyed the parade.  He especially like the flags that were handed out.  Who needs candy when you can get a flag?  The candy that people threw Sawyer took it upon himself to throw it back.  He thought it was a game apparently. 

After the parade we headed over to the Farmers Market. I love that place.  I am so glad Logan has a community that supports the local growers and artisans.  

We went to the game later that evening.  Sawyer did so much better this game than his last one.  The team was fun to watch.  The game actually went into double overtime.  We were sad to see the loss for our Aggies.  Maybe next time.  

Still has his flag from the parade.
