On conference weekend we always bring out a mattress so we can all lay around together. Sawyer thought he should get the bed all to himself. He would just sit there and watch the t.v

Hanging out in his robe!

He loves his new car seat. He loves to look out. Sometime we will yell at the people in the cars next to us. It's so funny.

Crawling

I love this picture! This just says it all! I love this boy more than words can describe.

He is so excited to be at the park and go down the slide

Slide time with Daddy. WE like it when daddy can come to the park. We have to go on sundays for him to come.

Action shot!

Such a happy boy! He had such a fun day at the park

This is my uncle jim... He doesn't hold babies. My cousin missy got a better picture on her camera,but we all rushed to get a picture of him actually  holding a baby!!

I honestly can't believe these sweet girls are one! And this is the first picture we have taken of our kids together. Oh sad. We don't even have sweet coley in there. These are my friends Danielle's twins. Paisley is on the left and Presley is on the right. They are adorable! And Sawyer loves them, but I don't think the feeling is mutual:)

This sums it right up... pres is out of there. She can't be bothered because she can walk, Paisley can't be bothered because she has her BA BA and Sawyer can't walk and doesn't have a ba ba so he is just hanging out

My happy boy!

Just the beginning everyone is happy

Oh Presley is starting to get sad because Sawyer is trying to love on her a little to much. Paisley is just looking at both of them like.... "why aren't any of you playing with me?"

Oh now it's way out of hand! Poor Pres is so sad. Sawyer isn't around other children except Danielle's kids and he doesn't really know how to act or play friendly. Sorry Pres!

He finally found Paisley and they are as happy as can be.

Future MR. And MRS.

This is how Sawyer has been sleeping lately!

This face he is making is to funny I had to post it.

We loving going to the park! Even if it is dark!!

My parents hired a band and had a big party on their lawn! We had a great time. No kids were allowed, but oh well Sawyer hung out with all of us.

GRAMMY!

My sweet Grammy finally lost her battle with cancer on Saturday October 2. This incredible women was LOVED by everyone and in return she loved them back. She was brave, positive, kind, loving, beautiful, spiritual, and quite simply amazing. I loved my Grammy for many reasons. 1. She gave me my dad 2. She loved my mom, some would say maybe more then my dad:) 3. She always told me she was proud of me and that I was someone special and she made me believe her every time she said it. 4. She welcomed Braydon into our crazy family. 5. She loved my Son and his world and hers would light up when they would see each other. In fact, my Sawyer doesn't really sit still for a long time, but when I was given the opportunity to take care of my Grammy on our families week he would sit on her lap for about an hour without any fussing. A very rare occasion and he only would do that with my Grammy. What a special blessing it was for me to watch her and him interact. He loved her, trusted her, and was so content to just be near her. Like my child my grandmother has the same innocence. She is as her children put it without guile. 6. She loved the Lord and she lived her life as though he was walking by her side everyday. In the final days of her life The Savior was with her. 7. Her home is a sanctuary for the lost, downtrodden, weary, and hungry souls. She would give up anything and everything to help in anyway she could. 8. She loved my grandfather and he loved her back. Their relationship is something people work at their whole life yet never achieve. It is and was truly beautiful to watch them love each other. 9. She fought cancer bravely for 25 years. She never complained and never wanted to burden anyone with her problems. She fought hard and fought well for so long. 10. I love her because she had a beautiful testimony of the Savior and his atonement. She never wavered. She was steadfast in Christ. I shared some very spiritual moments with my sweet Grammy before she died some of which are to special to share. One of the last things my Grammy said to me was " I don't know if Heavenly Father knows how much I love him" That is my grammy for you. He knows grammy! We all know! I will miss you my sweet grammy. You have left us with a legacy of love. You will be missed so much. We are better for having you as our grammy. I know you will continue to take care of us. I am thankful for your sweet reunion with your mommy and daddy and with many loved ones. I am a bit jealous of some of those reunions. Watch over us and in return we will try a little harder to be a little better, love a little more, laugh louder, and hug longer. Until we meet again.

He loves to jump!

Sawyer is 8 months old. I can't believe how time has just flown by. I held a newborn yesterday and I wanted to cry. It's almost like i couldn't remember that Sawyer was that small and it was like it was yesterday. I love this boy so much, but sometimes it's so hard being a mother. I get lonely bored in need of girl time, husband time, family (mom and sister) time. I wouldn't trade it for anything, but it's still hard. I feel so overwhelmed sometimes when he cries and I've fed him, changed him and he still cries. My sweet friend who is just super mom is always so comforting. She tells me no matter if you have one or three it's still hard and a lot of work. She always has the best advice and the best words for me. I feel so privileged that Heavenly Father has sent me this little boy. I feel so terrified to raise his choice spirit in this awful scary world. I can tell how sensitive and sweet Sawyer is. I know that I will have to talk to him instead of yell if he does something wrong. I know how lucky I am that he is mine FOREVER. He is such a good boy. Parenting is hard, but so rewarding. Here is what Sawyer loves and hates.

•  He loves to eat! He loves bread, fruit, and yes mac and cheese. Sorry to those who don't approve. 

•  He hates veggies

•  He now just won't go to anyone, but he loves his gma Laura gpa Eric, uncle Ben, Aunt emo, uncle jon his daddy, paul, maddie, and his uncle mat. I'm not going to lie i'm his favorite. I love it so much, but sometimes I wish he would go to others when I need a break. 

•  He loves for me to hold him when he is sad

•  He loves his light frog. It lights up stars on the ceiling and plays music. He falls asleep to it at night.

•  He loves his silky. He won't go to sleep without a silky blanket to cuddle. 

•  He hates to sit

•  He loves to stand and be helped to walk. He would walk for hours if my back would allow to be bent over like that.

• He loves to drink juice and water our of his sippy cup. 

• He loves other kids. If he sees any child he freaks out and wants to touch them and play with them.

•  He loves when people say bye bye to him and sometimes if you are lucky he'll wave to you. 

• He loves to call me and braydon DA DA it's so funny. I am trying to teach him to say dada so that I could tell braydon that he wants him, but it turns out i'm dada!!

Crazy hair

Play time before bed

Mommy and Sawyer at the fair. He was so tired. I am at a loss with his hair... I want to cut it and I don't. It is just wild right now.

Our little family at the state fair

Daddy and Sawyer hanging out. Waiting to roast marshmellows.

We had a bonfire over labor day weekend because it was a little cold. Sawyer wanted to touch the fire so we had to confine him to his bumbo

I was sitting on the floor folded Sawyer's laundry and I looked up to this! He is to funny.

Sawyer helped mommy with cleaning and laundry. He cried when i pulled him out of the basket. So he sat in the basket while I cleaned. Such a funny boy.

He loves bath time! He loves water.

Sawyer HATES to get dressed. We have to play games, sing, and go really fast so he won't be so upset. This is what happens when we make him laugh while getting dressed. WE can't get his clothes on either way.

Sawyer Fell asleep while I was trying to find him something to wear. It was so funny. I think he liked sleeping naked better!

Sawyer has been a little bit frustrated to say the least. He can't crawl and he can't walk. He wants to do both, but can't seem to figure out either. He rolls all over and turns his body and then rolls to get to where he wants to go.... sometimes that works great most the time it doesn't. He sees what he wants and he tries to get it, but he crawls backwords and gets farther and farther away. Everyone keeps telling me that I shouldn't wish he would crawl or walk, but i really want him to. I know these things will come with it's own challenges, but then my little sweetie won't be as frustrated.

Our life is a bit crazy! Braydon
