To Appease Shalane...

Somebody...I won't mention any names...is getting on me for not posting any pictures lately.
I'm afraid I have some terrible news. Sawyer managed to get a hold of my camera and thought it would be great fun to throw it with all his might, right onto the hard tile floor. It is no longer with us.
Here are a couple older pictures for your viewing pleasure...

Sawyer is One!

It's hard to believe that he is one already!! It just seems so old! Do we really have a toddler? He's so much more fun now too, running all over the place with me close behind! Who needs a treadmill, eh? We had fun today. The weather has been perfect the past week. We get out as much as possible before the cold hits. I'm really dreading that...what do you do with kids in the winter?! I don't think he's quite ready for snowboarding...
His little birthday party went as well as expected considering he had a hour nap today...that's it. He sure didn't like getting messy though. He just cried until he was cleaned up...wuss...what boy DOESN'T like getting dirty!? But the gifts made up for it...he thought that was pretty cool. Grandma and Grandpa Palmer got him a puzzle and a really cool train that moves and spits balls out! Fun! We will be throwing him another party next week because Tina (Jim's sister) will be here and any excuse for cake is fine by me...hopefully he's not so grumpy.

Our Little Climber

This is what happens when I turn my back for one second...he finds the naughtiest thing possible and plays with it. In this case, the touch lamp...you know, the ones that have no switches you just touch the metal somewhere. Well, now anytime we can't find Sawyer this is the first place we look. I should probably just close our bedroom door but he loves our bed. We just have mattresses on the floor so it's just the right hight for a baby and he loves hiding in our blankets and pillows. (For those of you who don't know my sleeping habits this consists of about 8 pillows, 1 body pillow and 7 blankets)

Shalane Visits!

It was so much fun to have Shalane and Alta here!! I am already going through withdrawals! I really think that family should be required to live closer...
Sawyer LOVED Alta! They were hilarious to watch! Shalane has some pictures of Alta in the Johnny Jump up where Sawyer is trying to give her an underdog. They would also take turns putting their fingers in each others mouths...I'm pretty sure it went a lot easier with Sawyer...Alta has no teeth. Poogie, we need to live closer!

Halloween

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

So I had all these fun ideas for last night and they all kind of just got shot to crap...I really wanted to have a little "photo shoot" you know, like how Lisa sets up a sheet and props and Sierra just sits there like a little angel? But noooooo...Sawyer was wiggly, grumpy, silly, obnoxious, crazy...Bipolar. He wasn't having any of it. Actually, it was pretty funny. I don't think that anyone has ever worked so hard at getting their child to smile! :) It might have been a good idea to take pictures of that! Sawyer got his hands on some candy and wouldn't let the bowl out of his sight the rest of the night...wherever the bowl was, he was. We never opened a piece for him, but I'm pretty certain his little teeth made holes in the wrappers because he was enjoying it way too much. And his breath reeked of banana laughy taffy...oh, and I was the only adult at our little get together that dressed up...LOSERS!
