Late Night Work...

It took Michael 14hours to put this together, but it is worth it!!

Digging with Papa...

My Dad(Papa)came over to get the backyard ready for Sawyer's playset that he got for Christmas. You can see those pics later. I'm too short on time to be able to put them into the correct order.

Saturday Morning Fun...

Sawyer loves to play in my car...so on Saturday mornings he gets to explore. He can fit in the craziest places.

NO FEAR!

Rock Work...

Here is a glimpse of the rock work we had done to our house. It looks really good and makes our landscaping look even better.

Off to work...

If we only had a dog...

This is our neighbor's dog, Sasha. Sawyer absolutely loves her and we have to say hello to her everyday. We even pray for Sasha at night due to Sawyer's request.

Little Slugger...

Potty Training....

Ok...so Sawyer is quite the big boy. He told me three mornings in a row that he needed to poop. Sure enough we went to the toliet and he pooped. We have been trying to help his Ruff-Ruff with potty training too. See the picture above. I am so excited that he is interested in the potty at all. We are taking it slow but we are making progress. I am so proud of him!

Kilby's Birthday Party...

The birthday girl

Jacob and Colleen's Luau...

We had a luau at Kana's house for Jacob and Colleen's upcoming wedding. We played the shoe game with them and then shared funny stories. Here are a few pics from the event. Sawyer seems to be the common demoninator.

Kenzie's Baseball Game...

Well...Kenzie is among Sawyer's favorite people in the world. He is so cute yelling, "Kenzie, hit that ball" and "Go Blue Go!" Sawyer is a hoot!

Eating Again...

Noodle Time...Do I eat or do I play?

What do I do with 2 girls?

Sawyer decided that Lauren and Jayden should know how to play ball too. It took a while to teach him to throw the ball gently and not at their head. The girls were fascinated with him and they thought he was really cool. He made them laugh a lot!We ended the night with giving Lauren a boo-boo on the face. Sawyer is a work in progress!
(Take note of the pink blankets..those were mine when I was little. I've never been able to use them b/c I have a boy and pink is not in our color scheme.)

Tricylce Time...

Sawyer is really into his tricylce now! I find him in the closet, in the bathroom, and often yelling "help Mama..help" because he is stuck.

Spaghetti Sad Face...

Visiting the Windy City...

I am in Chicago at the Willowcreek Conference. I will put pics up soon! I miss my sweet boys!

Funny Stories...

I know that everyone thinks their own child is the best! Some even think that their own child is really funny! Well, I think that is what brings us such joy with our children...their unique personalities make them so much fun. So here goes with some stories about Sawyer Belue.

This week we went to Pigeon Forge, TN. We took Sawyer to the aquarium and he loved it! It is so fun to see him excited. Those of you who know him, know that he can steal the show. Well, throughout the fun events he would say to us "HOME!" We would say to him, "Whose home?" He would always reply with "MOM." Let me explain this...he calls my Mom... Mom and I'm Mama. He hears me and my brother call my Mom...Mom. Anyway, we concluded that we either have to take my family on vacation with us or leave Sawyer with them.

Sawyer is all about telling us when he has to poop. He calls pee and poop by the same name of POOP. Well, we went out to eat at a restaurant and Sawyer starts screaming, "I GOT POOP...GOT POOP MAMA!" We are very excited that he is able to tell us and we even make it to the bathroom some times, but the annoucement part is something we have to work on. Michael and I were laughing hysterically!

This morning, Michael was giving Sawyer a bath and Sawyer asked him to close the curtain. So Michael did for a minute and when he opened up the curtain, Sawyer had decided to poop in the bathtub. Of course, Michael thinks this is hilarious and takes pics. We are having a lot of fun POOP stories right now. Sawyer will love these stories one day. He keeps us laughing! We are so blessed.

Birthday Boy!

Michael turns 27 today!
