Sawyer - our big 1st grader!!

Sawyer started 1st grade last Friday! Several people have commented about how much taller he is getting!  We are so proud of him and know that he is going to have a great year!

Sawyer and Olivia's swimming lessons June 2012

We are really proud of Sawyer's progress this year! He got a little scared on some days but  he showed his courageous side and tried very hard to do his best. He can hold his breath very well. He can jump in and swim all the way across the pool in the deep end. We are very pleased.

Olivia learned some survival skills like reaching for the side of the pool and moving her hands across the wall to get to the ladder. We are very proud of her!

Christmas Holidays 2011

Sawyer placed the star on top of our tree!




This Christmas tree skirt is very special because it was hand-made for me about twenty years ago by my MaMa Thomason.




Nana Sheila and Jenny made this gingerbread house with Sawyer and Olivia. This picture shows the gingerbread house before Olivia ate the gumdrops off the edge!:)She's a sneaky one!!




Mom made this Christmas dress twenty something years ago for one of my cousins. If you look closely you can see that it is smocked. I'm glad the dress is still around for Olivia to enjoy!




This picture was from Polar Express Day at Sawyer's school. He wore his dinosaur pajamas. He had a great time with his friends that day!

Grams bought Olivia a beautiful necklace!



Olivia likes her new piano!



Sawyer has really been into drawing a lot lately so we got him a Cars2 drawing set. There is a light that makes it easier to trace pictures.



Olivia got a new inflatable sleeping bag for when we travel. She and her new Dora doll got inside.




We all had a great time up at Uncle Dan & Aunt Judy's house!




Katie and Olivia





The White Elephant game was hilarious!!






And Olivia played the biggest joke....when no one was looking she opened up one of the gag gifts!!



It has been wonderful having daddy off work for 10 straight days!!! Woo-hoo! And now we are looking forward to visiting with the Boyds next weekend!!
