Little Feet...

Our little warrior...wild at heart...

1st Camping Trip...

We were able to try our a new Kelty pack. Check me out...I carried Sawyer in to our camp site and out. I was also able to carry him to see the waterfall. I'm slowly but surely getting back into shape!

I think the baseball won...

As many of you know my brother, Mckenzie had a baseball accident. He was hit in the face with a baseball at practice. He has 2 broken bones is his cheek and a broken bone in his nose. Pretty nasty, but we have some cool pictures! This pic is the day after the accident.

Uncle Kenzie

We went to watch McKenzie play baseball. He is on a traveling team that plays each week and weekend. Sawyer calls him "Kenzie." Here he is playing defense and at bat.

Playing at the Park...

Recovering...

Sawyer had a little stomach bug. It was just for about 24 hours, but he had to have a popsicle to make him feel better(sugar free). He hangs out in his chair on the porch a lot. He'll be missing and I'll go on the porch and there he will be in his little chair looking around.

Caramel and Milk...What a Combo!

We have to watch Sawyer now whenever we open the fridge. He gravitates to the caramel. Here are a few snapshots of how I found him in the kitchen.

Sawyer's 1st Haircut...

Well...we decided that Sawyer needed some help with getting his hair evened out. I was thinking just a little trim but we got more than that. It worked out to be just fine. Hair grows..right? Check him out in his red sports car. They have become quite creative with things to entice children so they will be still. He actually liked the clippers. He loves anything that makes noise and moves.

Silly Mema and Kana

We had a cut out of a cupcake at Sawyer's party so that everyone could get their picture taken...we were thinking children but somehow I found these two turkeys on my camera too!

Welcome Mattie and Ella

Wow...twins again. My cousin Kevin and his wife Sally had twin girls too! Here they are with their sweet Mama.

Look at Me...

Diggin in Mama's Flowerpots...

Balloons and Presents...

Sawyer Turns One...

Cousin Ali...

The Kiss...

Big Boy Bed...

We converted Sawyer's crib to a toddler bed because he is a climber. This will be much safer than the crib. Here he is playing with his bird mobile. It shows a slideshow on the ceiling.

Gettin Down on the Farm...

Check out Sawyer...he is in the wheel of a John Deere tractor.

First Vacation Bible School...

Sawyer really enjoyed his first VBS exprience. He ate chicken fingers and corn with the big kids and reallye enjoyed the dancing and banging with the rhythm sticks.

Welcome Twins

Lauren






Jayden






Michael's Dad and Stepmother had twins. Lauren was born at 8:33am weighing in at 4lbs. 2 oz. and Jayden was born at 8:35am weighing in at 3lbs. 12oz. They are doing great just getting some help in the NICU until time to go home.

Being a Mama...

Wow! I can't believe Sawyer is almost 1. Time really does fly. He is such a sweet boy and I feel so blessed to be his Mama. I love to see him wake up each morning. He is such a snuggler and gives really sweet kisses(with lots of slobber). I may be sounding cheesy, but I feel so blessed to have a healthy baby and such a wonderful family and friends. I love ya'll and I thank God for all of my blessings!
