PODD demo

This is a video of me and Sawyer playing and communicating using his PODD book. I am so grateful that we have found a way for Sawyer to communicate with us.

Sawyer boy

 Sawyer loves to watch for the bus.

He still loves his Scout. He will walk around holding Scout up to his ear. 

We are so grateful for Dr. Harnsberger our GI specialist. We worked with her to get Sawyer on some medication that helps with his chronic constipation and now we have our happy Sawyer. He walks around with a smile on his face while making lots of new noises.

Primary Children's

Sometimes you just have to make the best of it. We had to go get Sawyer tested for cystic fibrosis. So we took all the kids and made a day out of it. They had fun coloring, playing xbox, and playing in the Forever Young Zone playroom. The Forever Young Zone is a big room full of fun things for the kids. This includes Wii, air hockey, imaginary play area, and so much more. They even did some science experiments. 

Sawyer did not like the test at all. They had to make him sweat. They hooked his arms up to a machine that would help him to sweat and then they put hand warmers on him and wrapped him up with some foil. In the end the results were negative. Which was a good thing. 

Winter fun

The kids have loved playing in the snow this year. Sadie is really sad that the snow is gone now.

Cousin Fun

Elaina and Farah came and visited for a few days while their parents where on vacation. Ben took the initiative to take care of them. He fell in love with little Farah. She called him Dad the whole time. Whenever she needed anything she would call for him. He catered to her like she was a princess. Sawyer also fell in love with her. He would follow her around with a big smile on his face. Elaina loved getting her hair done every day and trying on all of Sadie's shoes.

Happy Birthday Spencer Birthday

 My sweet little boy is 2! Spencer really enjoyed his birthday. I made an oreo cheesecake for him, because he loves cream cheese. He will grab it out of the fridge and eat it. This boy is a free spirit. He is testing limits constantly. Recently he has learned to get in the van and open the garage door so he can escape. The word no means yes to him.

Fun Hair dos

These are some of the fun hair dos I have done on Sadie. I really enjoy doing Sadie's hair and coming up with new ideas. I consider it my hobby.

Harlom Globe Trotters

 We had a blast at the Harlom Globe Trotters with the cousins, Caden and Daylon. The kids loved it. Thank you Grandpa Gerald!

To top of the night we got some ice cream. Love these kids.

Sadie's first piano recital

Sadie had her first piano recital. She did great! Grandma Carr played a duet with her. This little girl never ceases to amaze me.

A kid being a kid

 Spencer likes to climb up and look out the window to watch the kids play.

 All ready to go out and play.

 Yes that is marker on the walls. He makes up for the other kids that didn't color on the walls. I found this marker on the couch, T.V., and floors. We now only use washable markers.

 I don't know how he got this one. I just went to put him potty and saw it.

This is on hungry kid. When he is done eating his own food. He will go and eat whatever anyone left on the table. This is him looking for more.
