Sawyer's "Buggy" 1st Birthday

My little bug isn't so little anymore. Because we were flying back on his actually birthday, Jan. 4th, we celebrated the day before with all of our friends and family in Utah. I know they say kids grow up fast, but I guess with two it seemed to fly even faster. Sawyer loved all the attention and unlike his sister, he loved every minute of his cake and couldn't get enough! It's true what they say about boys loving to be dirty and messy! It was a special birthday to remember. We love you Sawyer "bug"!

Christmas 2009

Christmas, New Years, Birthdays, Anniversarys OH MY! The Holidays have come and gone, and "oh what fun" it was! We headed out west to Utah for a white Christmas. It was so great to have daddy for two whole weeks! And the best part was his laptop wasn't working, which meant we really had him by ball & chain!:) Just like every Christmas it was filled with joy, laughter, the spirit, and so much family! This year it seemed there was a little bit more of it all, and I felt so blessed to be where I am , who I am, and to have my friends and family around me. Of course Santa spoiled everyone way too much, but the kids were all smiles, and Saylor has mastered the art of "opening". Here's a little glimpse into our Christmas ~

finding the Christmas Spirit

Why is it that Christmas seems to be the only month that literally flies by so fast, it's hard to feel the christmas spirit or at least stop and have to time to enjoy it!! With all the hustle and bustle, we stopped to spend family time so we could keep our christmas traditions going.

Strolling the Neighborhood Looking at Lights
Saylor thought this was the coolest Mickey & Minnie!

She insited that she stand in the middle and said "mommy take my picture" . especially love the hands on the hips!

Making Sugar Cookies

Enjoying every last sprinkle!

Off to Utah for the Holiday!!...Merry Christmas Everyone!!

Not a baby anymore

Saywer "bug" has taken his first big boy steps all by himself!! This was the second attempt, because I didn't catch the first one in time. He literally went from standing up and taking one step, to cruising! Saylor thinks its so fun, and wants to hold his hand to help him. Oh the places he will go now :) maybe I should think about getting locks on the cabinets now!

Cup runneth over

I'm overflowing with gratitude this Thanksgiving! Especially during these hard times that America is going through, I can't take for granted the bountious blessings around me. I am blessed to have a beautiful healthy family, with two precious children who make me smile and laugh everyday, and for a wonderful and supportive husband who loves me for me and who works so hard to provide for us. I'm greatful for friends that I can lean on, and my beautiful surroundings. Today I am thankful.
