The Gold Coin
I am one lucky lady! Jon is SO sweet to me and makes me feel special everyday. (He calls me his SunShine!)
He has started leaving a Gold Coin for me to find each morning as a Thank You for all I do around the house, taking care of him and Sawyer, and reminding me that he is thinking of me and loves me. He is very creative in how he leaves the coins for me. Here are just a couple of ways I've been surprised!

Cousin Audrey
Cousin Audrey & Sawyer at G'Ma and G'Pa Madson's House
Audrey shares her McDonalds and helps Jon feed Sawyer
Dueling Exersaucers! I guess when Audrey was Sawyer's age she wasn't very interested in jumping in her Exersaucer or Johnny-Jump-Up. Now that she sees Sawyer playing, she has to play too!
It's been really fun to watch Audrey and Sawyer play. They are 10 months apart and the difference in age is SO huge right now. She is going to be a great older cousin (and sister!) to all the Madson and Fuller kids!

Hello Blog! I've been away for a little while...
Well my friends, The Fuller Family has been busy, busy, busy this past month! So, I haven't been able to blog :-( This Post focuses on random things around the house. As I'm sure you are all anxiously waiting for news and new pics of Sawyer, I will be posting updates about him throughout the rest of the week!
Our cat, Piper, hasn't gotten any face time on the blog yet, so HERE SHE IS!
Jon has furnished a lot of our house with items he's spotted for FREE on the side of the road (the rest is hand-me-downs from family and friends - Thank You!). Since he drives a Pick-Up Truck, it's easy for him to swoop around and snag things up. This is the latest addition to our Living Room. A wonderful Recliner, which Piper really likes!
Now this may seem weird to some of you, but I always find myself wondering what my friends and families homes look like when they've moved and I haven't been able to visit yet... So, the following are pictures of our home. I'm sure at some point in time I'll take pictures of the rest of the rooms, but for now these are the ones I like the best!
Here is our Kitchen. The Orange cabinet is one of Jon's finds!
Yes, that is a Hello Kitty Waffle Iron in the bottom right corner. A Christmas gift Jon won in our gift exchange last year :-} Sadly, it has yet to be used...
Our Living Room. You can see where Sawyer's little play area is. Most of the pictures posted of him on this blog have been taken here.
Now, Sawyer's room. I'm a bit of a Lame-Mommy and haven't put anything up on the walls yet. (I haven't in the rest of the house either) I'm not sure why that is. Probably because I know I'll change my mind on whether I like it or not in a month, so I just leave things bare. Boring, I know. However, I do like the theme I'm working with here, so I just need to keep adding to it!
See the Texas Longhorn? Jon's friend Casey gave that to him the night Jon met his friends out to celebrate Sawyers birth. Sawyer will love that one day!
This here is probably my favorite item Jon has brought home. The green dresser! (Picked up with the orange cabinet mentioned above) All of Sawyer's little clothes and toys fit in here so nicely, and it's different than most dressers!
More posts to follow soon I promise!

New Baby Accessory
I've noticed on my other friends Blogs that they've all shown off their baby slings. Here's a couple shots of Sawyer in a new sling I just got for us. I won it on E-bay! We are still figuring out what is most comfortable for us. Sawyer squirms a lot and I think we would've had better luck with it had I had him in one of these sooner... I'm going to keep working with him though and at least we will look cute doing it!

Our Venture into Solid Food is Going Much Better
First off, thanks to Autie Kristie for this super cute "Chicks Dig Me" bib!
The first time I tried to give Sawyer some Rice Cereal he spit it out immediately and started to cry. He was not a happy little boy! Thankfully, he seems to like it more and more each time that we've tried it since. It's a messy process, but pretty fun and cute. Sawyer also likes to try and lick the bib when he's done :-) Look at that face!

A Visit to the Ageless Shop
We (Sawyer, Texas and I) stopped by to visit Jon at work earlier this week. Ageless Concretes' shop is only a few miles away from where we live. This is really nice because Jon works long hours and is able to make it home without having to commute very far. Also, we're able to drop in on him and say hello!
This is Jons lovely work attire!
These are the concrete counter top samples Jon has been working on. I can picture these colors in a kitchen or bathroom, can't you?!
Daddy wanted a picture of Sawyer and Mommy in their hats. It's been chilly in Wisconsin already...

Kodak Moments Over the Last Couple Weeks
Five beautiful months old and still working on sitting up... We are almost there!
Sawyer reads a book! Well, at least for a couple minutes...
Sawyer just became aware of our pets over the last week. Now whenever Piper (cat) or Texas (dog) walk by him he gets SO excited. His arm shoot straight up in the air, his eyes get huge and he watches them wherever they go. It's really cute! Here are some pictures of Texas trying to ignore Sawyer.
Jon in true Stache-tastic form for the Cowboys game last weekend. What a GOOF-BALL!!! :-} I got a phone call from Gramma Fuller last week. She wanted to know what size Sawyer was wearing so she could overnight us a Romo jersey for him. We missed the delivery on Saturday afternoon and had to chase down our mailman so we could have it for Sundays game against the Packers. Jon also surprised me with a Romo jersey. Unfortunately, we didn't get any pics of us as a family. So the next time we are all in our Cowboy gear I'll be sure to be get a picture. GO BOYS!!!
Sawyer's Alligator towel
Auntie Kristie came to visit
Sawyer discovers a tree for the first time! I love going through all the first time things with him. He's so curious and wonderful. (and this picture is adorable!)
We visited Dad at his shop. Ageless Concrete is starting to make Concrete Countertops and what you see in the background are the molds for sample pieces. They turned out really cool and it'll be fun to watch this part of the business grow! Go Daddy!
