Scripture Sawyer

May 26, 2013

Last week, Sawyer was assigned to give the scripture during primary today. On Monday I started reading it over with him a few times just to make sure that he would be able to pronounce all of the words and feel comfortable repeating it after me. He, however became obsessed with learning it and wanted to practice it all of the time. By Thursday he had Amos 3:7 completely memorized. He stunned everyone in primary today as my little sunbeam got up all by himself and looked down at me smiling as he perfectly recited, "Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. Amos 3:7" in his little Sawyer voice. I was sooo proud of him! And he was proud of himself! He got this picture of Jesus from the Primary president that he was really excited about. How grateful I am for my little sunbeam! 

I also forgot to do a post about General Conference in April 

and what a good boy he was as we listened while he played BINGO.

It was a great way to use up all of his Easter candy 

and he's wanted to have General Conference every weekend since

 so I'd say it was a hit! How we love this little man!

Kite Flying Fun

May 26, 2013

Lance, Sawyer and Reuben decided to get sick this weekend. 

But when we saw the beautiful day and the crazy wind, 

we (I) bundled the kids up and we headed outside to fly our kite. 

Lance laughed when he saw how I dressed them considering it was 

in the upper 50's. But in my defense, they were sick and the wind was cold!

My theory is, you can always take off layers. And eventually, we did! :)

Playground Fun with Friends

May 23, 2013

Our good friends the Grahams, 

are going to be moving away next month 

and although Lance and I are really disappointed, 

I think Sawyer might be even more upset! 

He has LOVED playing with his friends Drew and Hailey 

this year and we will REALLY miss them!

We will miss these friends a lot!

Reuben likes Watermelon

And Cantaloupe! 

A Lot!

Maybe I'm Corny...

But in my opinion, a baby eating corn on the cob 

for the first time just needs to be documented!

"What is this?"

"Guess I'll try..."

"Interesting."

"I'll have some more."

"Not bad. Not bad. 

Can we have this again tomorrow Momma?"

T-Ball Toddler

May 18, 2013

Sawyer is a T-Ball player!

He had his first practice last week. 

His coaches are Coach Kayla and her husband Coach Andy. 

I love this picture of him and his cute 1st base coach.

Our high maintenance Reuben just sat in his stroller

 and read a Clifford book for the entire hour of practice. 

Sawyer had a lot of fun at practice 

and couldn't wait for his first game. 

It was today!

He hit the ball really well.

And concentrated really hard in the outfield. 

But most importantly, he had FUN!

So we went for ice cream to celebrate!

We are so proud of you Sawyer!

And we're super excited for the rest of your T-Ball season!
