On the move

At the end of August, Sawyer started taking a few steps.  He is our earliest walker.

And there is no stopping him now.  He broke two of my casserole dishes before I was smart enough to switch the cabinet to plastic!  He is so fast.

He is into everything.

I have lots of help.  Landon said, "look mommy!  I pick up sawya just like Nana and Wawal!"

One day, after school, I looked out on the deck and the girls had set up this blanket with lots of toys.  They said they were playing daycare.  Nothing like some live babies to fill your daycare.

Labor

I'm a little behind on updating the blog.  I couldn't help but include these pictures.

They make me giggle. 
They were taken on Labor Day. 
Do you know the definition of Labor Day?  Well, I looked it up.  The 1st Monday in September, observed as a holiday in honor of working people.
Hee. Hee.
I promise girls. We will go on vacation next Labor Day.  I grew up thinking this holiday meant that we take time off to work around the house.  Looks like your dad grew up the same way.  We are going to correct this!

Rain Puddle

One rainy day.

One rain puddle.

One happy boy.  Who insisted on wearing a coat in 80 degree weather.

Who stomped in this puddle.

For a very long time.

Until his mommy made him come inside to get a bath.  As this happy boy walked through the garage he noticed something.  "Look mommy! My footpint!" 

Later that day, this happy boy got away from his mommy and went back for round two.

Jeana's 9th Birthday

We got to join in on the fun of celebrating Jeana's 9th birthday.  Her and Laurel are just weeks apart in age.

Homemade gifts from Laurel and Savannah.

I love, love, love this picture!  This sums up these three girl's personalities.  They just love life and are all about having fun.

We love having Jeana in our home.  She is so funny.  I love that her, Laurel and Savannah are getting to grow up together.

Wow, did you count how many times I used the word LOVE!?

Riding with my buddy

 

 

 

These two are becoming fast buddies.

Jumping with Landon

 

Now this was a fun time!

*pictures taken by my cousin, Melanie.  We had just been talking about how we were rarely in any pictures because we are always the one behind the camera.  She took these pictures while I was out playing with Landon.

Green Grass

Sawyer loves being outside.

He's not quite sure...

what this prickly stuff is.

I love watching this sweet boy discover things for the first time.
