After church one Sunday we stopped by my great grandpa's house. My brother was there visiting before going back to Columbia, Mo and he got this picture with my phone. We were careful not to roll into dog doo doo!

It does kind of fit us, though....Josh causing the playfulness, myself closing my eyes because I'm not sure I want a leaf to fall into them, Sawyer doing his own thing as a "me do it" toddler, and Henry so eating it up being right next to mom, but in the middle of the FUN!

Wagon Rides

Last Thanksgiving my sister-in-law got us this radio-flyer wagon and I pulled Sawyer in it while pregnant with Henry. This Thanksgiving they both want to go for a ride!

Decorating with Dinosaurs

Well, I was clearing a spot in the front closet for coats, hats, gloves, mittens, you know, winter "stuff" that Josh and I used to just be able to fit easily in there. Somehow two little kids take up so much space! Anyway, I was clearing things out and I found a christmas wreath from last year (last year I was as big as a house and I think got ONLY this wreath out to decorate with, and called it "good") and I pulled the wreath out, plugged it in, and showed the boys. They immediately began decorating it, with dinosaurs, and plastic gears, and rings from a ring toss toy, totally random and totally fun. Since the Christams tree is blocked off so H doesn't pull it over on himself, he thought this was pretty cool he was getting to touch and feel and decorate, too.

Chubby Cheeks

Chubby cheeks. Chubby thighs. Chubby wrists. Chubby Henry. We love you.

Cassie's Bday

Big Cedar is so pretty. We took the kiddos outside while we waited for our food so they could run around. You all that have toddlers would understand that asking one to sit in a chair while the adults leisurly visit for and hour and a half in just plain not gonna happen. It was such a nice evening, we walked around the pool, looked at fish in the pond, and played by this little waterfall. The one time that Sawyer and Myah both were sitting still, I snapped the picture.

Stephanie

My cousin Stephanie came over one day during her Spring Break. Sawyer had her attention most of the day. Here she is feeding him chocolate pudding on our deck. If I recall his diaper resembled the pudding the nex day!

Shower with Dad

Henry's first shower...there is just something about holding your baby in the shower, it is sweet. Every new parent should try it! Just hold on tight:)

Karlee and Myah

Cousins Karlee and Myah came to visit. We played at the Y, shopped at the Branson Landing, ate at Mazzio's Pizza and celebrated Cassie's birthday at Big Cedar, ending it with cake at Mee-ma and Poo-pa's house.

NAIA 2009

We spent a lot of time at the NAIA tournament at College of the Ozarks this year, as our very own Bobcats made it into the final 4. Here are some cousins that worked hard as ball boys for many games of the tournament. Sawyer and Henry can't wait to be big, mom can wait.

First Blog

And the blogging begins. Whatever that means!? I have decided to join the blogging world, but don't expect much, my friends, because I am just not as talented as other bloggers on the block. Hopefully it is a place where you can visit to see updated pics of the kiddos and check out what we are up to here. This is my attempt to keep "in touch" with family and friends whom I wish we could see more often...
