One Cute Mess

PIZZA - Nummy!!!




BATH - Fun!

We Need a Video Camera!!!

"Dance, dance, dance!" is something we say to Sawyer often these days. He loves music and will bounce and spin around when there is a song playing that he likes. A favorite of his right now is the Boom, Boom sang by The Black Eyed Peas! Most of the time we are in the car when he hears it, so he bounces in his car seat with his hands waving around and doing this chest popping thing, saying Boom, Boom, Boom... SO CUTE! It is hard to capture the dance party moments quite right with a camera (this is why a video camera would be great!), but Jon managed to get a couple! Sawyer pushes the buttons on his fire truck so they make music, and he busts a move or two :-}


(SIDE NOTE: So, seriously, if you have a video camera and are thinking of selling it on Ebay or Craigslist, let me know! I might be interested!!!)

Pure Terror

Sawyer is horrified of the Harmonica... I'm not really sure why, but as soon as Jon picks it up Sawyer gets a look of pure terror on his face!




(Mommy and Daddy find this kind of funny, but we don't torture him for too long :-})

A Morning Spent Hanging Out with Cousin Audrey

It's SO hard to get two little ones to look at the camera at the same time and to be standing still... Sawyer and I went over to my parents house this morning to watch my niece (Sawyer's cousin) Audrey. I got some really cute pictures of them and had to share (even though they wouldn't "pose" for anything together ~Stinkers~)!!!

Audrey smiling pretty for Auntie D!


Getting sleepy...


"These toys are fun Mom!" (What Sawyer would be saying if he could speak in sentences)

My, my, what a cute bag you have Sawyer :-}

The infant swing has turned into Audrey's recliner. Sawyer wasn't too sure what he thought about it and wasn't quite coordinated enough to just sit and swing. Audrey on the other hand was very comfortable in her spot!


Swing Flash Back Moment - Sawyer at 3 Weeks.

Sawyer at 3.5 Months.

Audrey at 2 Months.

Both kiddos were very concerned with where their toys were and who was playing with them...


All in all it was a good afternoon :-} Gotta love spending time with Family!!! (and learning how to SHARE!)

My Boys

Playing in the pool on Memorial Day! It was Sawyer's first time in a swimming pool and he had a great time. He kept splashing and laughing and trying to dunk his head under water! Very cute :-}


Such a guy thing... See some boogies...

...And, fling some boogies! (Gross!!!)

Walking over to El Loro for some dinner!

Hanging out around the house, looking cute!

Jon slapped this bandanna around Sawyer's head and shockingly Sawyer didn't rip it off! It was SO cute, I got a bit picture happy...




(I think it's kind of funny to post these picture of the boys on a totally pinked-out page :-} I'll change it eventually, but for now I'm still celebrating for our baby girl!)

Nugget = Little LADY Fuller (20 Weeks)

We are having a baby girl! How sweet is that? :-} Jon, Sawyer (even though he doesn't know it yet...) & I are very, very excited!!! Everything in the Ultra-Sound looked great, we have a healthy Nugget!


Here's some shots of me and my growing tummy. I'm half way through!




I'm not sure how I feel about Nugget as a Nickname for the baby now that we know she is a girl... I may have to change it... Also, now we get to really start picking out names!!! SO FUN :-}

Playing in the Park

Last night we went on a walk. Jon took us to a park near our house where he takes Texas on walks. Sawyer found a stick to play with and thought it was the best thing ever!

Then, he got to swing for the first time!

Mother's Day 2009

So, Mother's Day was very nice! We got going a little bit late in the morning because Sawyer slept until 9 - this NEVER happens! We were an hour late for church and missed Sunday School. After church we all, the 16 of us, tried to go to Granite City for brunch, but there was a 2 hour wait... With hungry little ones, that is NO good. So we went to Ghingis Grill instead. We all ate, exchanged cards and gifts and went home. Spent the rest of the day relaxing - it was lovely :-}



Mother's Day last year. Sawyer's gotten SO big!
