Happy Birthday to My Two Favorite Boys

(Sorry for the double slideshow, I can't figure out why there are two of them , Help!)

This week we celebrated Sawyer's 1st Birthday and Sammy's 30th. This is truly a blessed season of our lives. I love all that Sawyer is doing now...exploring everything, walking around all wobbly, cackling loudly at all my silly faces, waving bye-bye, uttering his first semblance of words, getting into mischief, and loving on his family. And, I just plain love my husband. I am so thankful to God for the blessing of both my kids and my Sammy. Thank all of you for the birthday gifts, wishes, and prayers. We had a great time celebrating with you all!

I Love Food...

Anyone who has met Sawyer knows that he loves some food. He has now transitioned from baby food to anything that he can pick up and put in his mouth, his latest love is lasagna. Some of his other favorites include toilet paper (seriously he will take like a whole bite out of it), puzzle pieces, Memory cards, books, crayons, stickers, and animal crackers.

Here is a picture of Sawyer from the Fall Festival. The kids had fun in all the craziness and Sid came home with a plastic whistle that makes beautiful music, whenever she plays it all the dogs in the neighborhood start howling. But, she loves it and that is all that matters, right. Now where are those earplugs...

Oh to be a Kid again...

One of the best things about being a Mom is being able to watch your kids experience life to its fullest. They aren't worried about what they look like or how messy they might get, they just live for the moment. Today in the middle of the rain, Sidney, Sawyer and I decided to play outside and get a little wet. We had the best time just soaking up life along with a little water.

Sawyer is Walking, sort of...

Here is some video of Sawyer and his walking skills. He hasn't quite mastered the elegance or grace of walking, but he has the basic steps down, well sort of.
