Lake Junaluska

We still walk the lake with Bella Wren and her Mommy. I tried to capture some pics of Sawyer and Bella Wren, but she is hard to catch. Here is the result.

Under the weather...

As you can tell from the pics...Sawyer was feeling a little under the weather. Actually he had hand, foot, mouth virus. Yuck! Now he is feeling much better! In the pic, he is wearing a Long's Chapel Pre-K t-shirt. We just took it easy for a few days.

Present from Kana...

Here is the pool that Kana got for Sawyer. Check him out...playing with Auntie Leah and Kana!

Boots...

Here is Sawyer sporting boots and camo. These boots were mine when I was little girl!

Bon Fire Time...

Engaged!

Jacob proposed to Colleen! Yeah...we are so excited! Here is a pic of the cute couple.

Kilby and Tucker...

Getting ready to sing the National Anthem at the Rodeo.

Social Butterfly...

Here is Sawyer with his buddy Kelsey. He is our neighbor and he gives us hand-me-downs.

Multi-Tasker...

I can talk on the phone and drink my bottle!

Good Morning...

This is where Sawyer does most of his dancing. He has some good moves. As you can tell he just woke up in this picture and is beginning to wake up.

Here are a few songs that I've made up for Sawyer to dance to...

Shake it and Bake It!

Move it and Groove It!

Shake it Like a Polaroid Picture!

When Sawyer hears these words...he starts shaking his head and moving his hiney(sp)! He is quite the little mover...fun times!

On the Move...

Sawyer is walking...but is still perfecting his steps as he goes. Here he is with his car moving at a very quick pace across the house. He stops whenever he hits furniture or the wall! Hello bruises!

Cotton Candy at the Rodeo...

We went to Snowbird for the Rodeo because Michael is in the Revelation Drama. Sawyer saw the cotton candy and he had to have some. So I decided to let him try his own...he really, really enjoyed it. After he would eat a bite, he would look at me and smile really big. It was like he was thinking..."Wow-Mama... I've never tasted anything this good!"

Yeah...Clap Your Hands...

Bigger Muscles....

10 Months Old...

Prayer Request...

I would like to ask each of you to pray for Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters. This is the camp where Michael's cousin, Brody, is the director. This past weekend there was a car accident and 4 of the staff from Snowbird were killed. Please lift these families and the staff at Snowbird up in your prayers. Thanks so much for your prayers. I love ya'll.

Our Little Swimmer...

It seems like we take Sawyer swimming a whole lot, but he loves to swim. Here is an action shot of Sawyer kicking in the Tuckasegee River with Uncle Mac!

Curious Little Thing...

Now..when I'm getting ready I have a visitor. When he gets bored with what I'm doing...he moves on to the cabinets.

Blue Ridge Parkway...

Getting Ready to Go to the Pool....

Still in the shades...

Here we are...Sawyer is still sporting his shades.

New Shades...

Sawyer is fascintated with sunglasses. So he has a couple of pair. He actually kept these on for about 5 min.. Check him out!

Mouse Slippers...

What are those things on my feet?

Aunt Colleen gave Sawyer these cool, mouse slippers with his Goodnight Moon book. They finally fit so Sawyer is learning to like them. At first, he wasn't sure what to think.

Just a Rockin...

Sawyer has a new appreciation for his Daddy's rocking chair from when he was a baby. You can see he is clapping b/c he is so excited!

Little Chatter Box...

Sawyer is a little chatter box. Here are a few words he can say...
Hey
Daddd-y
Maa-Ma
Duck
Quack, Quack, Quack
Tuckkk-er (Cousin)
Thank you
OOOK(meaning Look)
Uhh-Ohh

Excited to be outside...

Give me a cheese puff...

Eating a cheese puff...he loves them!

Best Buddies...

Community Children's Fair...

Here a some pics from the community children's fair. Sawyer loved Clifford and all characters. He even gave out kisses to them.

Brushing Teeth...

Ok...so Sawyer has teeth and he has to learn to brush those teeth since they are coming in so quickly. Here are a few shots while we practice healthy dental hygiene.

Long Time...

Sorry it has taken us so long to post. We have been really busy! Wow...Sawyer is already 9 months old. Some of his accomplishments so far...he has 4 teeth with 2 more making their way in too, he can say "Daddy" and "Maa-Ma!" He is crawling everywhere and he is getting to be very daring with standing and letting go. His personality is so fun...he smiles all the time! Here is an updated pic...he is saying..another picture!
