November 2008

Can you believe Thanksgiving is over and Christmas is just around the corner?! I feel so blessed this year to have two wonderful boys who are growing and healthy, a loving home, and a job which I enjoy. We had a nice Thanksgiving here at home this year. I had worked the night before, so Anthony was in charge of the cooking, and he redeemed himself from last year when he burned the turkey-this year it turned out wonderful! Logan ended up having the stomach flu that day so he had no desire to eat a Thanksgiving meal, and Sawyer fell asleep just as we were going to eat, so needless to say I have tons of leftovers! We are looking forward to enjoying December, and maybe we will have snow for Christmas Eve, if only spring could come January 1.

Sawyer's "Melmo" birthday party!

We celebrated Sawyer's second birthday by throwing him an Elmo Birthday Party, and we invited our family to come and help us celebrate. Of course he loved all of the elmo decorations and balloons, and had a yellow balloon tied to his wrist all day long. He quickly learned how to open his presents, he had to be fast though or his "helpers" (Logan, Maddox, and Parker) would step in to take over! Parker kept asking if it was Christmas, and if so where were his presents! Sawyer loves all of his new toys, in fact he wouldn't let his new car go and ran it along side and into his birthday cake while we sang "Happy Birthday"! I can hardly believe it was just two short years ago I was bringing Sawyer home from the hospital. I didn't realize how big he was until I saw him next to baby Kensley and he looks so much like a little boy now. We are looking forward to this next year and watching Sawyer's personality really develop!

Sawyer turns two!

The day has come when my "baby" isn't considered a baby anymore. Sawyer has turned two years old and we can hardly believe how fast it has gone. In the past when Sawyer will see a picture of himself he points to it and says "baby". Part of it is my fault because I started calling him that when he was born and it has just stuck, so I still catch myself saying "I have to go get baby". Now, when I ask Sawyer if he is a baby he will shake his head no and when I ask if he is a big boy, he just gets a big grin. Little does he know that I will always consider him my "baby"! Here are some pictures of Sawyer taken this past year, it's amazing to watch him turn into a little boy. Enjoy!!!

October 2008

By far, October is our busiest month of the year, hence the hundred or so pictures I have taken! We all love this time of year, and there is just so much going on we try to do it all before the snow starts! We were so lucky this year that Halloween was on a warm night, the boys had so much fun trick-or-treating! We are looking forward to Sawyer's birthday next week, then it will be Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years.....
