Memorial Day Weekend 2009

Memorial Day weekend was all about friends and our little family this year.  The weather was perfect and we enjoyed every minute of it.  We started the weekend off in New Hampshire with The Degroots, then spent the rest of the weekend back home with our family having lots of fun.

More Spring 2009

   This has been a fun filled spring.   The weather has finally turned nice and we are enjoying our days outside. 

 Sawyer is talking so much these days.  He learns a new word almost every day. He loves to chatter to himself or to anyone who will listen. He likes to spend time with his friends. 

   The next couple of pictures are from a "Ladies Lunch" that Julie hosted.

Emma- One of Sawyer's favorite friends.

We went to the Niska-Day Parade with Mike and Julie last weekend.

The kids really liked seeing the fire trucks and listening to

all the marching bands.

Sawyer likes this little caterpillar tunnel!

We went to Sawyer's friend Isabella's birthday party at the Saratoga Children's Museum.

This fire truck was a big hit with all the kids.

Spring is finally here!!!

We are so glad that spring has finally come to "the woods."   Sawyer is happiest when we are outside playing so we spend as much time exploring as we can.  It's been busy these past few weeks.  Easter came and went, we were excited to meet Brad and Clarissa's sweet new baby boy- Graham William-, the go cart races are finally over and our weekend of hanging out with "the gang" has come and gone.

All dressed up!

We had Kevin and Jody Degroot out for the weekend and the kids had fun eating breakfast

on the screen porch this morning.  Sawyer was sitting like a big boy with Breanna and Braden.

This was the weekend that Dave won 1st place at GPNY!  I don't have any pictures of the trophy he won.  It was a great weekend of friends and fun!
We set up the lawn sprinkler when the weather hit 90 degrees this weekend!
Sawyer had so much fun running through the water.
Getting warm after the sprinkler fun!

Sawyer's New Room

The other half of the painting in Sawyer's new room is finished.  We had Sue add a Mama bear and her little cub to the Moose that she already painted.  We think it turned out really cute and I can't wait to finish the room now.

I just love this little cardinal.
Mama bear and her cub.

Sweet little cub.

Sawyer, Sawyer and More Sawyer

Our baby is 19 months old and we don't know where the time has gone.  He brings us so much joy everyday. We can't remember life before Sawyer and can't imagine life without him.

Sawyer has learned "give me five" and "respect" 

Of course daddy taught him this.

A Day at the Park

We had some gorgeous weather a week ago and spent Saturday at the park with Sawyer.   He is a very busy little boy so running around at the park is fantastic!  Of  course this means that mommy and daddy are running around the park as well but this is good for us too!!

Mommy running after Sawyer!! A full time job
The slides are Sawyers favorite
I can still go on the slides too!!
