It's hard to believe this BIG spirit trapped in a LITTLE body came into my life 5 years ago! For the first 2 years of his life, we honestly believed he would be our easy-go-lucky child...since his thumb sucking kept him content and quiet most of the time. Boy were we wrong!!! He has very much turned into his own little self and he's anything but easy. Fearless, persistent, hilarious, vocally loud, hot-tempered, sweet, sensitive, and adorable are just a few characteristics this little man shows us on a regular basis.
But we wouldn't have him any other way. At least that's what I keep telling myself everyday. He isn't afraid to tell me how much he loves me, which coincidentally is usually right after he gets in trouble. "I still love you mommy..." is what he tells me when the tears are dried and the tantrum is over. I don't know what I would do with out him! He keeps us rolling on the floor with his quick-witted remarks and contagious laugh.
And there's no doubt how much he loves his sister and brothers. Sleep-overs (in each other's rooms) is one of his favorite things! So are movies, candy, cheese, Slurpee's, his bike, Iron Man, and his blanky...I'm working on that last one, but I'm picking my battle with that one.
This year Sawyer had his first friend birthday party, and he chose the Transformer theme. I do not like throwing parties, but I'll do anything for my kids. It actually turned out pretty fun. He got a bunch of Iron Man toys, transformer toys, a new bike, you know, all the boy toys. As spoiled as we think he was, according to him, he got cheated because we didn't get him that blasted Ford battery operated truck...the one in WalMart for $200. Poor thing.
Anyway, this part is for Sawyer...since this is the reason I'm actually blogging, for my kids to look back on and remember how cool of a mom I am. hahaahaaa...Ok Saw man, I hope you know how much we truly adore, cherish and love you! Even when it seems we are hard on you, we "still love you anyways"!!! You bring so much fun and laughter into our lives. And you amaze me all the time by how much you already know about this life. I love how you embrace life with open arms and learn quickly to deal with what comes along...good or bad. I love your sweet hugs when you know I'm upset or down about something. And your cute, dimpled smile, that lights up your bright blue eyes, can nearly get you your way all the time.
We are so happy to have you in our family and love you very much!!!
HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY SAWYER!!!

he is such a handsome little guy! I expected some sort of explanation about the pic where he's all banged up. Boys sure do know how to get hurt.
Oh, ya...let me explain that one! It's quite simple. Logen was hitting golf balls in the yard, and didn't realize how close Sawyer's head was to his club. When he swung back, it smacked Sawyer in the face. No fractures or breaks, just swollen and bruised. My boys especially seem to be drawn to accidents. :) I think the whole story is somewhere in my blog page...under Sawyer.
