We had the best time in utah. Sawyer and I went a week early because bradyon had finals and we just couldn't wait that long so we said see ya to daddy and headed home! Sawyer did really well on the plane rides. He just wanted to talk to everyone. As soon as we landed in Utah he screamed "I excited... sunshine's house" we were on the back of the plane and he kept telling everyone to move and hurry so we could get off the plane. My mom, dad, sister and brother jon all came to the airport to greet us... well greet sawyer. he went off running to them as soon as he saw them. He got slowed down a little when his pants fell to his ancles. the sweetest thing was when he started to cry because he was so happy. He kept hugging my mom and and dad and kept saying "I so happy" We went home and my crazy son didn't nap all day and was go go go until about midnight utah time which was 2 am kentucky time. that is pretty much how everyday went unless I layed down with him. We did a lot of hanging out, seeing movies, and just enjoying being home. We went and picked braydon up from the airport and sawyer and I waited outside and he kept yelling to people walking out "daddy I here" and as soon as he saw his daddy he ran as fast as he could to him and started to cry because my sensitive boy is just like his mama!! The 23rd we went to my grandma's house "gg" as sawyer calls her. It is always a highlight of christmas for me. I love getting together with family. My grandma is so generous and kind. I can't even express my gratitude for all she gives to all of her grandchildren. christmas eve we went to dinner at my grandpa's house. It is still so weird without my grammy. It is still such a blast to see my cousins though. We missed those who were at in laws though... don't think about doing that again :) Christmas was so fun we went up to braydon's parents house and opened presents. Sawyer is in love with the track/table they got for him... they had it shipped here and he plays with it all the time. Then we opened presents at my parents house. Of course sawyer go spoiled there too. Everyone was so giving and way to kind to us this year. A huge thank you to my parents who let us stay with them, fed us, let us drive their cars and use all their stuff. They are truly the best!! We had the best time in utah. Seeing my siblings, cafe rio runs, movies, late nights, no snow:( dinners with friends who i've missed, seeing sawyer light up everyday because he is so happy to be surrounded by everyone who loves him. We are so blessed. 2011 was a beautiful year for us and we have been so blessed in our lives. Next time you see us Utah we will be a family of FOUR!!

He is obsessed with helping me cook. here he is making dinner for daddy

The mall by our house was offering free sleigh rides with santa... we waited in line forever but sawyer was so excited to see the horse and santa. he wasn't affraid of him which I was so glad about

Braydon brings home gloves sometime from school and blows them up for sawyer... he named this balloon "tucky" for kentucky

We go to story time with some of our friend every other thursday at the local library.

This is the face he was making when he saw the treat I had for him

reading with shep

at chick-fil-a with shep they love the play place

It's a Brother!!

We couldn't be more thrilled! We honestly didn't care what we were having, but lets just say it will be a huge relief to not have to buy all new clothes. Sawyer is so excited to have a brother... so he says, but he really has no clue... he is so cute sometime he says the baby is in my tummy and sometime the baby is in his. He either wants to baby to be named simba, dumbledore, or uniqua. Heres to hoping he changes his mind. We are scared and excited for may to come!

Sawyer has been talking to much. He is so funny all the time and repeats everything (be careful what you say because he will say it) He is obsessed with so many things right now and sometimes it changes, but most of the time it's all the same. He is extremely obsessed with spiderman, trains, cars, horses, my parents (asks about them everyday) gum, chocolate (asks for that every morning) He loves to be outside still. We have to go outside everday even if it is a walk to the mailbox because he just loves it. I am not a huge fan of the freezing cold... unless there is snow. He is starting to talk about going on the big potty so we are thinking we might start to potty train him... soon. He is still being a very bad sleeper. It's pretty hard on me lately. Hopefully we can work on that too.

Crazy winds! *pictures don't do it justice i'm sure*

So my davis county suffered some crazy wind storms the other night/morning. Many peoples homes, yards, cars, ect were damaged or completely destroyed. Semi trucks were flipped over on the free way and people were out of power for 24 hours and some are still out of power. The winds in centerville and bountiful were considered hurricane winds. Centerville was put on emergency alert... it was just scary to hear about so I can only imagine what it was like to watch things blowing all over the place and just let your homes and towns get destroyed.... but it helps me to look at the good. From what I know people weren't seriously hurt. I am so thankful my family was kept safe. it is still so sad though. My yard if you have known me for a long time you know that it is just filled with these beautiful pines that my grandfather planted. it just looks so sad without them there.... obviously we still have many trees, but it just looks so sad with the ones gone. It was really hard for me to be away in kentucky while my family slept in a cold house with no lights. Sorry for calling everyone in my family a million times just to talk. it was kinda painful for me to be away in this weird time. I am truly grateful for all the selfless people who took time out of their busy lives to come help my family. From the looks of all the pictures and videos i've recieved I know they needed your help. I am so thankful for kind and giving people like you who are willing to help those in need. I am also grateful for all the people who helped out a neighbor family memeber or friend. You are truly so Christlike and giving. These pictures sure don't do justice of what happened in our yard or what happened to others peoples homes, but we are so grateful that no more damage happened....

   * side note I seriously am counting down the seconds until we can go home for christmas!!

This is what happens when daddy is on the phone and mom is in the shower!!!
