Vacay

We had a rough last couple weeks.  With the stomach flu rearing it's ugly head.  Work for me lately has been insane to say the least.  Crazy psycho busy with no end in sight, I leave sweating and thinking I wonder what I forget to chart today?  And thoughts run through my head like, at least no one died on my wacth.  I had a cry fest last night and I actually feel a little better.  Sawyer is also getting her big girl molars and has been quite the crab lately.  I love Fall but we haven't had a very good start.  But we are going away for the weekend to a very beautiful place for a very lovely wedding! 

We plan to stay here. 

I try to remind myself to just breath.

Fishing with Daddy and Uncle

Grandma Nancy

Thinking of my Grandma Nancy right now.  Hoping He keeps her comfortable.

Here's our fourth generation picture!

Sawyer loves her NANA.

Valentine's Day 2010

Milestones

Wow, today was crazy! Our little girl is growing up too fast. We are only on day two of potty training and she peed in her potty. I am so proud of her. She is so smart. Besides inspiring people with my blog, loving my husband, and saving lives as a nurse...I really do want Sawyer to have a better life than me. That really is all I want. Beside, peeing in her potty my poor babe is sick, snot just dripping out of her nose all day.  So I commend her for peeing.  I worked a princess shift this morning, only four hours and came home to this:

SO SWEET!

Sawyer loves to wear my shoes. 

She also makes this funny face when I go to take a picture.  I'm hoping this is just a phase because I want to see her beautiful smile. 

I just want to hold her forever and ever.

It was such a nice day out.  We went and got coffees and checked out a cool gun cabinet I spotted at Faith in Action (a hand me down store).  When we got back we rocked out in the garage and sat in the sunshine.  Seth even took his shirt off.  Sawyer ate rocks.

And made her funny face for mommy.

I bought this ugly thing for .80 cents.  I have plans people,  I have plans.  You all know I have a wreath making addiction. 

I bought this for $3.00.  It is is perfect condition.  Someone took a black sharpie and drew a chicken on it.  Really?  But the cork is flawless and I have a vision. 

I started staining my book shelf.  It is going to look amazing. 

Here is a sneak peek.

My loves.

All three of my loves.

Sawyer also climbed out of her pack and play twice, without cracking her head on the cement in the garage.  She also throws things away in the trash, including her fork.  This requires her to open the door with a baby latch.



Wetlands Nature Trail

Even though it was cold, Sawyer and I checked out the wetlands trail in Belfair.  (This was a couple weeks ago now.)  We have lived here all this time and never gone.  I put her in the stroller all bundled and we did it.  It was so much fun she kept pointing and saying, "Ooohh!"  She is so cute and was such a trooper because it was so cold, her nose was very red at the end of our walk. 

She kept kicking off the blanket and saying, "No mama."  She wouldn't wear her hood or a hat. 

So pretty and only like five minutes from our house.  Would love to walk it on a sunny day.  It was a little work out for me, I am guessing it is at least a mile out.  And the way back is up hill. 

The end.

Our Dear Little Valentine

We kind of celebrated Valentine's Day over the weekend, we spent the whole weekend together and crossed some things off of our to do list.  Sawyer and I spent Monday (Valentine's Day) at home cleaning house, I swear my house hasn't been clean since like before Christmas.  Jake brought me home yellow and red tulips and a sweet card.  I got him a card as well.  But the greatest present of all was our little Sawyer.  I dressed her up for daddy. 

 

Two years ago on Valentine's Day we found out we were pregnant.  We can't even imagine what our life would be like without her.
