The First Primary Program

October 27, 2013

Today was Sawyer's very first 

Primary Program today at church!

I had been getting pretty serious contractions yesterday 

and was in tears so worried that I was going to miss it, 

but luckily everything slowed down Sunday!

He did amazing! 

His part was, "Heavenly Father created trees."

He had it memorized within an hour of getting it. 

We had been working on the songs all year 

and since he's a little musical genius (No, I'm not biased)

he knew every song by heart. 

He also has a really amazing little voice 

and sings with fervor and power 

and today was no exception. 

We had multiple people come up to us and tell us 

that he was their favorite part of the program.

Our little Sunbeam in the front row stole the show. 

We were also lucky enough to have family come!

Dad, Deb, Marm, Mike, Kris and Brent all came. 

Thanks so much you guys!

I was a proud Mommy today. 

I am so grateful for my little boy 

who knows that he is a Child of God 

and teaches me how to be more like Jesus everyday. 

We love you so much Sawyer!

Dinosaur Train

October 18, 2013

My best friend got us an awesome early Christmas present. 

Her daughter loves the PBS show Dinosaur Train. 

Since she knew my boys also love Dinosaur Train

 they bought our family tickets to the show when it came to their town. 

So yesterday we drove to Wilkesbarre to ride the Dinosaur Train Live!

Tickets please...

Sawyer and Sadie were so excited to be together 

and to see the Dinosaur Train. 

Thanks for the thoughtful gift Tania!

I love you!

We Are...Penn State!

October 14, 2013

On Friday Lance and his brother who lives in Virginia 

were texting about the Penn State/Michigan game 

on Saturday and at about 7PM Lance says to me, 

"I found tickets on Craigslist for the game tomorrow. Should we go?"

After confirming my Marm and Mike could come up

 the next day to watch the boys, we decided to go for it. 

Jonny and Emery drove up that morning and got here just in time.

The game started at 4 and it was a perfect sunny day in the 70's. 

It was an amazing game with 4 overtimes!

And WE WON!

And we got to share it with two of our favorite people!

Yeah State!

Got Milk?

October 8, 2013

Picnic at the Park

October 7, 2013

Last week we took a pizza to the park across from 

our new house that we're building and had a pizza picnic. 

It was a beautiful evening. 

I think we're going to like our new spot. 

General Conference Bingo

October 6, 2013

This weekend was General Conference. 

Lance and I LOVE General Conference. 

Sawyer also LOVES General Conference. 

Wanna know why?

Because he can get his picture taken 

with our dear Prophet President Monson. 

And because of General Conference Bingo. 

(Please note that we used the "I Heart NY" M&M's

 that Lance and I brought him home from NYC. )

Preschool

October 2, 2013

We joined a Mommy Co-op Preschool 

with some friends from church. 

There are 7 four-year-olds and we just swap 

houses every Wednesday from 9:30-11:30. 

Today was his First Day of Preschool!

He really is getting entirely too big if you ask me.
