Mornings are rough. I'm often stumbling through it trying to get the boys off to school while chasing after Sawyer all while recovering from my late night working online. On the weekends I like to go all out with big breakfasts but on these days I just want to know they eat breakfast knowing how it is the most important meal of the day! Thanks to Aunt Jemima's Frozen Breakfast Lil' Griddles I … [Read more...]

How We Spent Sawyer’s Birthday
By 10 Comments
I can't believe my baby is one. His actually birthday was on Thursday so I cleared my whole schedule and we went out for the day and the computers went completely away. It landed on a school day so once I dropped Gavin off at school (he hates the bus) I stopped by Dunkin' Donuts and grabbed him a double chocolate donut. It's safe to say he liked it. Here's a video of his first taste of a donut … [Read more...]
Happy Birthday Sawyer!

I can't believe he's a year old! Yesterday I just found myself sitting on the floor watching him and recording him over and over again on my phone. I was so sad that I'd no longer have a baby and wanted to make sure I absorbed every last ounce of it. He'll always be my baby I recorded going to get him out of his crib yesterday. He's so precious: Today I am not getting on the laptop so I can … [Read more...]

So when they came home and found DOLE Fruit Parfaits waiting for them they were they … [Read more...]

Eleven Months Old {Sawyer James}

I've waited til the last possible moment to post these 11 month shots. I took them at the beginning of the month but when I looked at them later I was so disappointed that he was crying in almost every photo. I didn't get many shots to begin with because I wasn't interested in torturing him. We've been busy cutting teeth this month. So many of our photos look like this. Now that his birthday is … [Read more...]
