Sawyer: Two Years

Sawyer is the silliest kid! He wants to laugh, make other laugh, and have a good time. He is also incredibly stubborn and strong willed. He can give the best snuggles and loves and can strongly refuse to be loved. Sawyer is a great little brother that loves to parrot everything Crew says and does.

This little boy has so much energy and never enough time to fulfill all his wishes every day. He knows many songs, can speak in small sentences, fully expresses himself, loves peanut butter sandwiches, takes great naps, loves sleeping in his bunk bed, has knack for adventure and learning, he is randomly overly cautious (jumping on the trampoline), loves John Deere and everything with tractors, is a Daddy's boy, likes to run "super fast," can climb ladders, enjoys talking on the phone, snuggles in bed, plays "hide from monsters," loves loves loves to chew gum, and would rather wear his pajamas all day than change.

I had all of 2 minutes to take these pictures. This is everything I got. He doesn't like to perform for the camera, but I think it captured him pretty well.

Happy Birthday Sawyer: Two Years

What a happy day! It's hard to believe that we've only had Sawyer in our life for two years and then I cannot believe it has already been two years since he came yelling into this world. I also cannot believe that Crew was this age when he was 6 weeks old!

We started off the morning right with birthday waffles. Abe made scrumptious waffles with homemade strawberry syrup. We have kept up our tradition of a birthday candle in every meal and Crew was excited. Sawyer was not too thrilled that he had to delay his breakfast any longer than necessary, but satisfied all of us by blowing out his candle. No smile included.

After breakfast played while I cleaned up the kitchen. As soon has everyone was ready for the day the boys and I then went out to pick up some balloons for the night. Abe was on pizza duty. I may have convinced him to take two different trips in order to get our 3 family sized pizzas and 2 cheesy breads for a total of $17!

After picking up some balloons we came home to chat with Grandma T for a little bit, ate lunch, and put Sawyer down for a nap. Crew and I got busy decorating for our party.

The party was fun with Grandma and Grandpa S joining in along with our friends, the Sones. Sawyer was in love with blowing out candles by the end of the night and gave everyone great reactions with every gift he opened. He received construction vehicles for his train track (us), BoM characters figurines (Grandma and Papa T), and a wagon (Grandma and Papa S). 

Sadly the party got started a little late and before it was over and I had to be out the door for dance. After I changed we sang Happy Birthday a few more times, blew out the candles, cut the cake, quickly snapped some group pictures, and I left in a hurry. It was a great day celebrating another year in Sawyer's life!

Lunch

 Crew was so excited for Sawyer to wake up and start the party. As soon as he was up he had Sawyer sit in his chair and put on his party hat.

 Finally people started to show up and he was ready for the real thing!
