Crazy Swarm of birds in my yard

Alfred Hitchcocks, The Birds, is coming to life in my backyard!!

My sweet boy

Today when I picked up Sawyer from Nursery at church I carried him and thought, "Wow he is getting a little too big and heavy to be carried." It made me kind of sad that he is growing up. 

I just love him to pieces.

Baby is here

Meet my little girl

 I love her to pieces and am so happy.

She has been such a joy and we feel really blessed.

Hello Again

It has been a while since I have posted last.

A lot has been going on and to be honest I just haven't wanted to post anything. Not sure why, I just didn't want to.

I'm ready now! :)

Here is what has been happening:

We bought a new house

It's only about 2 blocks from our old one, but has much more space and an amazing back yard! We are so happy here and it's been great so far!

We have been doing lots of work to it and I don't have all the pictures, but here is what we've done to our kitchen.

We are getting ready for our little girl

I am 32 weeks along and doing great. I thought this one would be easier because I have already been through this once, but I feel like this one is harder on my body. I have been sore and tired and I guess it could have something to do with the fact that I'm chasing a 2 yr old around all day.. but who knows. :)

I've also got her room all done and it's adorable.

It was dark brown so I painted it white with pink panels. I got the idea from this site http://ohbrooke.com/2008/07/08/painting-wall-panels/

I made her a cute quilt too that my good friend Emily showed me how to do.  I love the colors and I will incorporate them into the room a little more.

We're naming her Sydney and not quite sure on a middle name, but I think it will be Faye. (that's my middle name after my grandma)

We bought a trampoline

This has been so great! We just got it and Sawyer loves it! It's got a net with a zipper so I can just zip him and and he will jump for so long. I'll sit next to it under an umbrella and spray him with the hose every once and a while and he's just as happy as can be!

Sawyer is as cute as ever!

Well this one is pretty obvious, but hey, here is a recent picture of him before chuch and he's just adorable!

Ok well I'll have more posts soon. BYE

Sunny Days

 I love these sunny days! We pack some snacks and hit the road. We love walks and going to the park!

Such a fun day!

Snowy March Day

It is quite the snowy day outside, but I had some work to do so we had to get out. I opened the door to the garage and sawyer was so excited by the snow. He walked right out and started laughing and holding his arms out to feel the snow.

 



Happy Birthday buddy!

 Sawyer had his 2nd birthday and I am still in shock that I have a boy this big!

He's sure growing up

This is my darling almost 2 year old. I can't believe how big he is and how beautiful. 

He is getting to be so much fun and really learning a lot! 

And he looked like this yesterday...

My little turkey

 

So I know I have complained before about people that only blog about their kids and don't include pictures of themselves. Well, I looked at my history of posts and it's been a while since I have been in them.

Sawyer and I went to my moms to bake and get ready for Thanksgiving. We had a great time and it was fun spending time with my mom and little sisters. (Missed you Melissa!)

I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!

Scrapbooking

He's getting big!

This boy is so much fun!!

My snazzy little dresser

Look at this kid. He just makes me smile.

I love to chase him around our little yard and hear him giggle. (although it's hard to get a giggle and a picture at the same time)

Things are so good. I love this boy!

I love his daddy too and I really love that he is almost finished with his MBA.

Hallelujah!!

Dear baby of mine

My sweet little baby,

I loved you from the start.

I'll never forget you,

You'll always be in my heart.

I wanted to protect you,

Until the day I die.

Watch you take your first steps,

See you laugh, smile, and cry.

It happened so fast,

You were there, now you're gone.

I feel so empty,

But I know I will go on.

When I think of you

I shed another tear.

Although I never got to hold you,

That I do not fear.

God needed an angel,

So he called upon mine.

I know you are safe with him

and it's just a matter of time...

Until I will see you,

And snuggle that little nose.

I'll kiss your soft cheek,

And count all of your precious toes.

I had a miscarriage at 12 weeks. It was very sudden and shocking because at 8 weeks everything was fine and we saw the little heart beat.

I feel very peaceful about everthing and understand that God has a plan that we don't always know about. I had learned so much about myself and others through this trial. Dave and I grew closer and I have gained a new appreciation for Sawyer.

So many people have it much worse than me and I know things will always work out and I will always keep my trust in God.
