Sixty Years!











We celebrated our grandparents sixtieth wedding anniversary this week. What a fun couple days it was. WE stayed up at the homestead. WE had dinner, games, tears, dancing, laughter, hugging, kissing, sleeping, card games, late nights, early mornings and a whole lot of LOVE! I am grateful for the example my grandparents are to me and to everyone they meet. I am grateful that my grandmother has made it this far with how sick she has been. I am grateful that almost my whole extended family was able to make it. I am thankful that we were able to spend such a great couple days with my grandma who had declined in the week we were gone to hawaii, but she felt pretty good and put a big smile on her face like she always does. She is so brave. I only say this because it is to vent for me, but it was such a beautiful event and now I think i'm not really sure how i'll feel til it happens but i think i can come to terms with her dieing now that she was able to have this family get together. I hope she doesn't suffer. I hope she isn't in pain. I hope she will say hello to Bubba and sarah for us. I hope that we can always remember what she has taught us and that we will live like her. For she is (to me) a perfect being in the not so perfect world. What a fun weekend and a great memory.

Several posts

Sawyer had his 6 month check up today! I hate watching him get shots. It is so so so sad. He really was super sad and screaming until I picked him up and gave him his toy and he was fine. Here are his stats
Height:66%
Weight:57%
Head:94% (I guess that is the one thing he gets from me... a big head sorry buddy)


My grandma has been feeling pretty good the last few days. My mom sawyer and I brought her lunch today and took her a kids meal from wendys well inside her toy were these glasses and we made her wear them... SO FUNNY! then sawyer sat in her chair!





This is thomas! Mandy my friends son. We went to the gateway last week and let her older kids run through the fountain while we sat and watched. It was a fun and exhausting afternoon. Sawyer was a little freaked out in the car with five loud fun kids... he wasn't sure what to think of it all.

Six month photoshoot...

Sorry for the picture overload. I could have posted a million more, but these are some of our favorites. My sister emilee had her bridals done so Sawyer my mom and I tagged along. I brought a camera to take pictures of him while they were taking them of her. I don't claim to be a good photographer, but my child is a great subject. The one professional picture was taken by emilee's photographer and she sent it to me. She is really talented. I may be a little obsessed with my child though:)














Sawyer loves the bath and water. He loves to chew on his feet and hands... we really have tried so many things to get him to stop doing it... His grandma thinks it's funny to she lets him do it.




I can't believe i've spent 1/2 a year with this darling boy! He is so funny.

Summer swimming and holiday fun!

WE just love being outside. Whenever Sawyer is having a "rough moment" is what we call them... we either go outside, take a bath, or get in the pool. He loves all those things and he calms down right away. As you can tell we love to swim and he has many floaties and he loves to lounge out on them all the time. I am not torturing my son he really loves his goggles. He splashes so hard he gets some much water in his eyes. When he doesn't have them he gets a little upset. We are loving the warm weather and we are have such a fun summer! WE are getting VERY excited for our cruise to Hawaii in August!!!!!!






WE had a great 4th of july this year! WE took full advantage of wearing red white and blue all weekend long. We visited my Grandma who hasn't been feeling well and Watched the fire works which he slept through until the finale and he couldn't stop staring at them. I tried to get him to look at me and he wouldn't even bother. He was so into the bright flashing lights and the big boom sound. We had many BBQ's which we love and just spent time with with my awesome family.






Play time is pretty fun at our house!







Crib and pack n play time!
