check out this hair.

For real, where did he get this? It is amazing.

In all it fuzzyness, curlyness, craziness, it is just so him.

I LOVE it.

I found Gymboree!

I had never shopped there before really. And I finally did, and I am never turning back.

So I found the cutest outfits and I just love their stuff. I mean this kid is picture perfect to begin with but now even more so, lol.

So here is our latest...

cow pig

So recently we have been teaching Sawyer a lot of words. Wall, ball, banana...

And he doesn't really say them back to us, except for nananananan. Ahhh, the love of the banana! :)

But the other day I sat down with him and picked up his toy cow and toy pig (he has a farm themed room) and said, "cow" when I touched the cow. and, "pig," when I touched his pig. Well today he just knew which was which without my help this time.

And he is only 10 months!!!

Wow. I am so proud of him. Maybe not that big of a deal but it is cool to see them learn. You know?

nanas

Sawyer loves bananas. He LOVES them. I think he would eat 3 a day.

He knows where we keep them. And each time we walk through the kitchen he looks for them and says, "nana." Over and over and over. So it is something like this, "nana nana nana nana."

Cute right?

Well yesterday we ran out of nanas. He got his breakfast one but then we were all out. So I had planned to go to the store and get more that day.

Well about 2 hours after breakfast we were walking thought the kitchen and he looked for the nanas and didn't see any. This apparently freaked him out. OMG where are the nanas? How am I going to get more nanas? How can I live without nanas?

He started to cry. He started to pout. He was very upset about this. So he sat down on his carpet and just cried for 5 min. 5 whole minutes of tragic crying all over the missing bananas. Where is the world coming to, he must have thought.

So we went to go get more nanas. And now peace is restored. Life is good. He can move forward because we have nanas. Needless to say we won't be running out of nanas anytime soon.

Heres a pic.

so what have we been up to?!?

Moving (LOVE the new house). Working (max got a promotion). Starting school (Jarod, 3rd grade, Marcus 7th). Visiting family and friends. Loving life.

I take pictures ALL THE TIME. And I love it.

Sawyer is closer to walking than ever.

I am starting some new stuff at church and I am pretty excited.

Marcus is in the honors program at his new school.

Jarod loves his teacher this year, and it is a gooood thing.

Max's grandfather is dying. That is sad. He got to say good bye though. Keep them in your thoughts.

And that is about it. Here are some new pictures for you.






Sawyer and his great grandmother franks.

he is accomplishing so much!

This kid is amazing. I am so excited to see him doing all this new stuff.

And an update on our life. Max has gone back to work full time. And the boys have started back to school for the fall. This is all quite an adjustment for Mommy. It will all come together. We will get it all figured out, but keep us in your thoughts as we do so!
