I LOVE THIS BABY!!!!

I can't believe Sawyer is 8 months already! How fast the time has gone by. I want him to stay as he is for just a while longer. I am so enjoying his current stage. He is such a happy baby and LOVES LOVE LOVES his mama! He is such a busy body and I know he is just itching to crawl so that he can get into EVERYTHING! He has just learned to go into a sitting position all on his own. He is working on pulling himself to stand. He has done it a couple of times already. He currently has TWO teeth. One on the top and one on the bottom. He looks so funny and cute with them. He is currently cutting his other top front tooth. He LOVES his music table and his sisters (even though they seriously annoyingly love him.) He is such a good sport! He laughs every time I call him "Big Boy!" He eats and poops sooooooo much!!!! He puts a smile on my face every minute of every day. I love my little man and he reminds me every day that miracles do happen and that God is GOOD! :)Ready for his close-up!
Check out those teeth! Redneck! LOL!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this photo of Sawyer. He seriously smiles like this ALL day long! I am so spoiled by him!

I AM SO HAPPY TO BE HIS MAMA! I LOVE HIM SO MUCH! My BEAUTIFUL baby boy with BEAUTIFUL blue eyes and a smile that would melt anyone's heart <3!>

TRICK OR TREAT!

For Halloween this year, we went to our church's Halloween party and then did some trunk or treating. We were sad that this year would be different from the normal door to door, but the kids still have a really fun time and were excited to get their candy.

Pumpkin Carving

The girls each got to pick out their own pumpkins and help clean out the guk and seeds. They didn't really like the slimy insides of the pumpkins, so most of the clean out work was left up to mom and dad :)

Happy 29th Birthday, My Love!

My fabulous husband, Michael, turned 29 on October 25. To celebrate his birthday, the girls made him a cake. Lily came up with the idea to make him a baseball cake. So, we mixed and baked a yummy strawberry cake and then the girls went crazy decorating!

Alex and her friend Sophie frosting their cake piece.

Lily happily frosting her cake.

After they finished frosting, they enjoyed the next task of
licking the spatula clean!

Definitely the BEST part!

Then they put on the candles.

Lily wouldn't let me forget that red sprinkles are very important
to add to our finished product!
Our "Created With Love" Baseball Cake!

Singing Happy Birthday to Daddy. Sawyer tried extremely hard to get
his hands on those candles!

Daddy with his mini's.

Lily insisted on getting her daddy a tie for his birthday. She picked out this
handsome bright red one.

Alex had a little help from Mommy with picking out Daddy's favorite candy! Swedish Fish!

Michael with our niece Natty and our little Chunky Monkey Man!

Cake Time!

Baking a cake is very rewarding!
