New House!

Since we've now been in our house about a month, I figured it was time to post about it! We are loving it! It's so nice to be moved and pretty much done putting everything away. It was really nice because I was having a birthday party for Sawyer just a week after we moved in. That is great motivation to get everything done on time! So happy!! Here are the pics.

Cooking Birthday Bash

We had a cooking party for Sawyer this year. I was trying to figure out what to do for a birthday theme, and I couldn't pass it up with his cooking obsession. We had family over to our new home. I put up some fun 'cooking' decorations and we did a potato bar. Sawyer got absolutely spoiled. Thanks to everyone for all the nice gifts!

The handsome birthday boy!

Shane's art talent comes in very handy sometimes!

Uncle Anton is the plane master!

One of Sawyer's favorite gifts was a riding Mater truck. At first, he was excited to sit on it.

Then he realized it moved and wasn't so sure!

He wouldn't try again until Abby put baby Jack on with him. If a baby could ride, so could he! 

Once he got the hang of it, he was having the time of his life! Everyone took turns helping him steer. He still needs work!

Pure joy!

2 Years Old!

Sawyer turned 2 on Thursday! We feel like this past year just flew by. Weren't we just celebrating his first birthday? We sure love our 2 year old. This month he decided to start talking! He hardly ever stops now. He will attempt to say any word, key word attempt. Some of my favorites are yogurt=oogie, spatula=ba, and vacuum=baum. Don't have any idea where those came from! Abby was 'bobby' for a few days, but now he is really great at saying her name. He is totally obsessed with cars, most especially trucks and buses. Every time we drive by a bus, I hear BUS from the backseat! He also loves that my brother John drives a truck. He often says John, pause, truck. The two must go together! 
We just moved into our new house at the end of April! Sawyer is now sleeping in our old queen sized bed. He made the transition really well! He also has his own walk-in closet, which is his new playroom. Toys tucked away, my favorite part of his room!
We sure love our boy! Here are his 2 year old pictures.
