Happy (belated) Birthday Sawyer!

Sawyer turned 3 this past week. He had a wonderful birthday! He was able to celebrate with some family that came into town and received lots of fun gifts. Sawyer is VERY into tractors right now. He is addicted to gum..."fruit gum" is his favorite and he would chew it all day everyday if we let him. He is go go go all the time. He turns into a very tender soul at night if he wakes up to go potty or if he is scared or sick. He is funny and gross and wonderful. He has mastered the potty even at night. His favorite food is pizza and he isn't a big fan of chocolate (just like his daddy). He is the total package...cute, funny, tender yet tough and oh those dimples. We love you so much Sawyer. You are our special dude and we are so thankful that God gave you to us.

Happy 5th Birthday Allison

Happy Birthday to my Ali P! We love her more than we knew was possible and think she is the coolest girl we know. Ali loves school and is doing very well. Her teachers are impressed by her kindness and sweet nature. She loves to "read" books. Barbies, princesses and cooking are some of her favorite activities right now. She enjoys swimming and dancing. Listening to her pray can melt your heart and she is retaining lots of Bible stories. She requested "the one when they cut the baby in half" the other day. She loves us with all her heart and we love her more. She is bottom line, the greatest gal around. We love you sweetheart, Happy 5th Birthday. I hope your dreams come true this year of loosing your teeth. ;-)
