My little Jazz fans

I just love these handsome little guys! Brock sporting his Deron Williams jersey and Sawyer wearing #5, Carlos Boozer. GO JAZZ!

We finally got them to sit together long enough to snap a picture.

I think Brock was done with pictures but he was a good sport!

I love how you can see the different personalities, even in a still shot!

Brock is such a sweet boy! The other day he told me "Mom, you're cute, no wait, you're beautiful!" Wow, you can't get a better compliment than that! (Especially from a 3 year old)


I am trying to keep my New Year's resolution to be a better blogger! Of course I always love an excuse to show off my cute boys too :)

Christmas 2009 (Finally!)

Sawyer with his new firetruck car. It was a big hit! He loves to climb in and out of it. Most of the time he just bypasses the door and uses the window! He was so cute when he saw it. He doesn't get the concept of Christmas yet but he loved every minute of it!

Brock got the Buzz Lightyear jet-pack that he asked Santa for. The look on his face was priceless! He is such a good boy, he deserved everything he got!

Opening presents! Sawyer was fine taking his time. Brock had to open most of Sawyer's presents too because it was driving him crazy waiting!

Sawyer and some of his presents.

Brock with his presents. He is the perfect age for Christmas! He was so excited about everything he got. So fun!


We had a great Christmas! There is nothing better than enjoying it through the eyes of your children! I hope everyone had a great one and a happy new year! Maybe this year I need to make a resolution to be better at blogging....

Sawyer's 1st Birthday!

Trying out one of his new presents, he loves bath time!

Opening some presents, he was happy just carrying them around!

We had a family Christmas party on his birthday! (Check out the new boots Brock gave him, he wants Sawyer to be a cowboy like him!)

Cake time! He devoured the entire thing!

Presents! He had fun celebrating with everyone.

Sawyer turned 1 on December 19th. We are still trying to figure out where the year has gone! He has accomplished a lot in one year. He started walking a little more than a month ago and has been non-stop ever since! He is such a good natured little guy. He always has a smile for us and he is great at giving loves and slobbery kisses! He is very determined and always seems to figure out how to do what he wants. It's fun to see his personality develop. He is starting to say a few words (Dada, Mama, Dog, Kitty, Nana). He LOVES to eat! I swear most of the time he eats more than Brock! His other favorite thing to do is carry stuff around and hide it from us! We just love this little guy so much and look forward to what the next year brings.
Happy Birthday Soy Bean, we ♥ you!!!

We ♥ Fall!

Brock was in heaven checking out the tractors!

I guess it's been a while since I posted anything! We went to the Eastern Idaho State Fair in Blackfoot, ID, had fun at the Harvest Moon Hurrah in Spanish Fork, Cornbelly's, picked out pumpkins at the Red Barn, and lots of fun Halloween activities. We have done lots of fun things this Fall!

First Day of Preschool!

Our little Brock started preschool today! He was sooo excited. We have been talking about it for months but I can't believe it is already here! When we got there he was a little timid but he warms up quick. I did better than I thought I would, no crying! I was mostly just excited for him and so proud of what an amazing little boy he is. I know he is going to love it! He is so smart and loves to learn. My baby is growing up, it's kind of bitter sweet.
We love Brock so much!!!

No Fear + Determination = TROUBLE

Mama's Boy! (Hope that doesn't change!)

So proud of himself (can you see the little tooth?)

I think this look says it all!

That little pointer finger

Getting in to trouble!

Watch out here he comes! Sawyer is now almost 8 1/2 months and is crawling all over the place! He has been scooting and doing the army crawl for quite a while now but about a week or so ago he starting crawling! He also started pulling himself up to everything. We are always amazed how determined and persistent he is. If there is something on the coffee table he wants he pulls himself and grabs whatever he can get his hands on! He also tries to walk around the table to get to what he wants, it doesn't phase him at all if he falls in the process. We are thinking it won't be long and he'll be climbing up the stairs, he already tries. He is loving tasting all kinds of new foods and feeding himself. His 2 bottom teeth finally came through. He loves to point and feel things with his index finger, it is so funny. He claps when he is proud of himself and says Dada and occasionally Mama. It seems like he has grown up so much in the past month! It is sad to see my baby getting so big and more independent but at the same time it is so fun to watch him learn and go through new phases. He is still the happiest little guy ever, just watch out for the mischievous twinkle in those blue eyes! We love this little guy so much!!!

24th of July!

As usual our 24th was super busy but SO fun! We went to Marysvale for a couple days with Brad & Jana to ride the Rhino and Razr on the Paiute trail. We had a blast! Brock absolutely LOVED every minute of it! Sawyer got to go too and the noise and movement put him to sleep most of the time. We had to come back to Spanish Fork so we wouldn't miss out on Fiesta Days. My little cowboy was so excited about going to the rodeo and he thought it was so cool to see the real cowboys. He kept telling us he wanted to ride a sheep at the rodeo but I had to tell him he isn't quite old enough yet. His response "I wanna ride a bull then!" We went to the parade and carnival on the 24th and even though it was hot we had a great time together! The only sad thing to me about the 24th is it seems like as soon as that is over with it is back to school time before you know it and summer is over :(
