ON the third of July we went to the annual Rigby country cowboy concert party. They have Charlie Jenkins play every year. He does his own stuff and he does some covers... if you don't know who he is and you know miranda lambert she sings a song called me and charlie talking... it's about him. Anyway, you dress up in your cowboy gear and there is bull riding dancing fireworks and a lot more. It was so fun to take Sawyer up this year. We put on his john deer boots and he would try so hard to dance it's so cute. WE had such a great time and this is a picture overload of that night!

Things Sawyer loves to do
* Loves to hold books and turn the pages
* loves to sit up, but falls over somtimes.
* Loves to stand and hold on to the couch... with a little help now and then from mommy
* Loves to wake up and talk to his bear or the balloon I have attached to his crib.
* He loves to eat
* loves to eat fruit not so much veggies
* Loves to talk
* loves anyone who sings to him
* Loves to laugh
* loves to swim... he splashes and splashes sometimes it's scary when he gets a lot of water in his face. He would swim for hours if we let him.
* He loves being outside. If he is a little fussy and I take him outside he calms right down.
* He is starting to really recognize people he knows and people he doesn't. He still will smile and be happy if he doesn't know you, but sometimes he cries and When he sees someone he knows he gets very excited and waves his arms and kicks his legs.
* He would rather be on his back then his tummy ( he hats his tummy) but he would rather stand up then be on his back.
* He loves to wiggle... he is always moving. We are in trouble when he can walk.

Things Sawyer Hates
^ He hates to be alone. If I walk out of the room he whines and believe me it's a fake sad little whine.
^ He hates peas
^ He hates to snuggle
^ He hates to sleep anywhere but his own bed and it's a real struggle to get him to fall asleep anywhere else
^ He hates the car seat
^ He hates when he can't look around and see what is going on


I love everything about him, but here are a few things!

* I love how when we lay on our sides facing each other he will touch my face and leave his hands on my cheeks.
* I love how he laughs at his daddy
* I love that he loves me
* I love that he is so sweet
* I love that he smiles even when he is asleep
* I love how when he is very excited he will wrap his arms around my neck
* I love when I kiss his cheek he turns and tries to kiss me back
* I love that he kicks and waves his arms when he sees my dad
* I love that he can hear my moms voice and he looks for her... so sweet
* I love that he is mine and that we were so blessed with such a sweet, adorable, and funny baby. He has been such a good boy and even though he is getting so big we are in for some more great times with this little guy. I love him more everyday and and Braydon and I are so lucky.



This child of mine hated the bath when he was tiny... it was a real challenge at first. I tried everything,but now he is a water baby. He loves to go swimming. If i wasn't worried about the sun and him getting burned we would play in the pool all day everyday.




Having fun in his crib




This is what happens when you play to hard at our house.


A day at the park... He liked it for a while I am not sure why I put him in that sick swing... only for a dang picture. WE went home and put him in the bath.


Swimming with uncle Ben... We need to give a huge shout out to him. He got his mission call on wednesday! He is heading to Columbia. ( a little SCARY) We are so happy for him and so proud of him. He will loves those people and he will change their lives. We Love you Baby.


So tired from reading his book. He hardly ever falls asleep like this... I thought it was so cute.


Sawyer watching baby Einstein's shapes and colors... I don't claim it makes him smarter, but it saves my life sometimes. He loves it.

My two handsome guys! They look so much alike. Happy fathers day braydon. It's been a pleasure watching you be a dad. You are so good with Sawyer and He adores you. You have given me the greatest gift and that is him. We are so fortunate to have you in our life. WE love you daddy!!




Happy fathers day to my dad!! I think the world of him. It's been so fun to watch him with sawyer. I always knew he would love him and would be a great grandpa, but it's better then i imagined. Sawyer thinks he is pretty silly and laughs at him a lot. We are lucky to have such a great dad and grandpa. We love you.




He loves our dogs. This is him trying to grab copper. He pulls on there ears and he pokes them in the eye. They just sit there. WE have really really good dogs. He also laughs at them. He thinks they are so funny.



He loves to hold water bottles and he loves to try and chew on them... maybe he thinks they are a really big bottle who knows.




WE are so LUCKY to have such a happy baby. He makes you feel so good because all he does is smile at you. He is so much fun.





This is his book that sings nursery rhymes. He loves it. He has now figured out how to turn the page and push the buttons. It's so fun to watch him play with it for hours... oh and we do just watch him play with it for hours.





Of course he isn't sleeping!




Welcome to the "Pac" just showing our team spirit!



My darling grandma has been in the hunstman cancer hospital for a week now. Her cancer has gotten worse and she wasn't feel well at all. My grandma doesn't really complain much so for her to be hospitalized is a pretty big deal. She had a pain pump inplanted under her skin and it seems to be working great. Braydon Sawyer and I went to visit her and of course we had to get a picture. He loved sitting in grammies hospital bed. She's a fighter and we love her.




This is Sawyer on our way to see my grandma in the hospital... he was being so funny

What weve been up to lately

We have been doing rice cereal for about 3 weeks and he is really starting to get the hang of it. It still makes a mess, but it's a lot better then when we first started. Braydon's dad made a little club house for sawyer while I was pregnant for him to use when he gets bigger and we went up and played it in for the first time us three. Ben graduated and wend to prom with his sweetheart jackee. I can't believe in two weeks he will turn his mission papers in! It makes me sad and happy that my baby brother is going on a mission. I can't believe he is already that old! Sawyer has started to copy some of the sounds people make... my mom will say mmmmmmm and he will do it back to her. It's so cute and so funny. He is getting so ticklish! It's so funny to tickle him. He laughs and laughs all the time. He is such a happy baby, but still not really sleeping even with the rice cereal. He is waking up about ever 1 1/2 to eat. I know a lot of people have it harder, but that is our life. He is so happy so I can't be to unhappy that he doesn't sleep. He is getting more fun everyday. I love my little boy who no longer is a newborn he is getting so big. It's so fun , but i miss my little baby. Oh and yes I huge shout out to braydon for getting a 20 on the dental admission test. He was hoping for an 18! Sawyer and I are so proud of him. He applied to a bunch of dental schools but we won't find out if he gets an interview til the fall. Cross your fingers!

First Vacation!

My mother, sister, Sawyer, and I went to St. George for 4 days. It was a spur of the moment trip, but we were pretty excited about it. I found it's not that easy to pack for a baby and yourself. Sawyer spits up on himself so much I change him at least three times a day... it was interesting. I was nervous for the ride down there just because he really likes to stand up and hates to be in his car seat for long periods of time. He actually did so well. I was super surprised and proud of him. We got to there and I gave him a bath and he went to bed while we rented a movie. The rest of the days were filled with swimming and of course SHOPPING! It was so fun to take him swimming for the first time. The water was a little colder then he is used to with his bath, but he loved it. He kicked and laughed. Then he we let him lay on the lounge chair which he enjoyed probably more then the water. It was such a fun trip. Thanks mom!!






Sawyer took his first plane ride which is another thing I was nervous about... I was alone and I had all his toys my diaper bag, blankets his car seat and him... Yes people stared. I don't know how people travel alone with kids. I thought I was going to drop all my stuff a million times. WEll, he acutally liked the plane. He looked around at all the people by us. He looked outside and once it took off.... yes people my horrible sleeper fell asleep for about 30 minutes so half the flight. He woke up when the captain... who was named captain hook (very funny) made an announcement. He cried for a second then we read his little book and he fell back asleep til we landed. I got a picture of him sleeping on the plane and I asked a man to take our picture when we landed in front of the plane. He is such a good boy and I feel bad that I was so nervous. Hopefully it will prepare us for hawaii when he is a little bigger and a way longer flight. We are so lucky to have all these fun adventures!
