4th of July

Well, here are the two pictures I took on the fourth of July...lame, I know. Sawyer was being grouchy. We went to the Hedlunds for a BBQ and tried to go to fireworks that night but it was just too late for our grouch. There were these tiny little frogs all over the yard that Sawyer just chased everywhere trying to squash, luckily with no success. I am so glad to have family nearby, especially on holidays!! Thank you Hedlunds!
Oh, I'm pretty sure the next post everyone sees will be with baby Wyatt!! A week from Friday! (If he makes it that long)

Leah Comes to Visit!!

Leah and John stopped by on their way home from Utah for a visit! It was too short! It was funny to see them and their 3 kids crashed in our TINY living room though! :) Isn't baby Jane a cutie!?

I'm sorry...I had too...



This is Joshua, he is 3 years old...he and Sawyer weigh the same (or Sawyer is a bit heavier) and Sawyer wanted to do EVERYTHING with him.

Not a big fan of getting water in the face.

We couldn't find or hear Sawyer the other day, which is funny considering how little this house is, we always keep the bathroom door closed but I decided to check in there just in case. It was locked! I had a moment of freaking out, got it opened, and this is what we saw. This kid LOVES his baths.

Why I haven't posted...

It's SO BLOODY HOT!! I refuse to go outside. It's been 110! The humidity is awful! Shalane, you know what I mean! I suppose I could take pictures indoors, but Sawyer runs away from the camera...or towards it...Am I the only one that can't get pictures of my kid?! He's too fast!
So, we hang out inside all day...BORING!! The library and the mall are life savers. Oh. And so is Petco. :)
For those that I haven't told yet: The C-section is July 24th early in the morning! 4 more weeks! Any advise on how to deal with a toddler and a hole in my stomach and a newborn?

Fun things going on

The River Festival is basically one big art show. Here is a sculpture that was on one of the bridges that lead to the park...Can you even tell what it is? I thought it was funny...

He was loving this little folk band that was playing by some of the tents. There was a TON of different musical groups, and this is the one that Sawyer liked. He was the only one dancing and it really made the musicians happy! He was a hit with all the onlookers!

Just dragging "grandpa Paul" around. This boy LOVES Paul!

Again, with his favorite band. They actually were really good.

I'm trying to figure out his obsession with tigers. I don't know were it came from, but anytime he sees a tiger he gets really excited and tries to roar. Mmmmm,don't I look sexy...

We have the internet!!

Well, we are finally getting all settled here in Kansas. We're having a lot of fun exploring all the different parks and stores they have...there are actually a ton of parks! I didn't think there would be this many families out here but we are making lots of friends and Sawyer is loving being able to play with kids his own size!

I guess every kid goes through this phase, but Sawyer is very into shoes. Here he has Jims sunday shoes on which was a nice change from my high heals...he'll walk all over the house with them on.
You can kind of see a little of our house. I'll have to take some pictures when it's a bit more put together. It's TINY! But really cute. :)

One of the parks has a real train engine that kids can climb all over and play with all the "insides". Sawyer loves this!

This is when you know that your boy spends too much time with mommy...I've also caught him trying to curl his eyelashes with my curler and put facepowder on...I think Jim is getting worried that I've turned him into a cross-dresser...
Jim is loving his job and really enjoying the people there. Our ward is a lot of fun. Sawyer goes to nursery now! He's doing really well, he stayed the whole time last week! I'm ready to have this kid, 7 weeks! I miss my family and friends but I'm starting to really enjoy Kansas, suprise suprise who would have thought!?
