Sawyer and GM

Sawyer loved spending a little time with his Great GM -- how cute are these two together??

Fun with Grandpa Al

We extended our trip at the last minute so that we could spend some time with the other half of our family. Although we do not have pictures ??? we were able to spend time with Emily, Ava (our first chance to meet her and love at first sight) Peter, Tina and DJ. So good to see everyone!!

Grandpa Al shows off his skills in managing two kiddos (Sawyer and Baby Ava)


And the following day Grandpa Al and the Uncles took Sawyer out for ice cream. He did a little taste test and enjoyed all flavors!!

Reid wiped off his spoon after sharing so that he didn't get any of Sawyer's germs.... funny guy!

I should also note that Sawyer is wearing his new birthday outfit from Auntie Dawn in these photo's --- thanks Dawnie, he looks pretty cute in it!! =)

17 Week Bump

Sunday at Grandma and Grandpa Oleson's

We all spent our final day together back at Grandma and Grandpa's.

Grandpa made us his famous waffles this morning - they were delicious!! Sawyer ate TWO!!

We then spent some more time in the bouncy house.... I think the adults had more fun today than the kids.

And some final pictures before our sad good-bye's.

Sawyer and his favorite Grandma Looney

And a final picture with Grandpa Jon

Backyard Party

We all had a very fun day at Grandma and Grandpa's. The cousins had a blast spending time with one another. Grandma arranged for a giant Bouncy House as well as a swimming pool and slip and slide -- they were never bored. And to top it off the MN weather proved to be fantastic! This posting is a hodge podge of pictures from our afternoon together....

The Bird


The Bouncy House comes to life


The girls taking a break from the water


Sawyer navigates his way through the yard -- I love the contrast of his hair and the grass and his orange suit.


The Slip and Slide




Jack in the Bouncy House


Two different approaches to entering the pool -- both scored 10's!



Sawyer has a little time out to swing with Grandpa


Sawyer LOVED the Bouncy House


The man on the move


Sawyer and Signe spend a little time coloring at the "kids table"


We thought Sawyer was a messy eater until we watched Ian... He is a monster!! He had dinner up both arms, all over his face, in his hair, it was WILD!!! And the best part is that he enjoys his food so much. Very fun!!

Brady strikes a pose for me

Grandpa -- enjoying his moment!

Meg and Greg

And the beautiful Miss Kate smiles for a close-up

Wish we all lived closer to do this more often!! Grandpa said this was his very best Birthday ever -- I can't disagree.

Family Photo's

We all gathered at Mom and Jon's this morning for family photos - just about every combination one could think of. In between being needed for photos we all played in the grass.
