July 2008

Sawyer loves to paint. Here he is painting his own Power Rangers--notice the shirt.
Here's he's painting a get well card for Me-Me.
Whenever Sawyer wears this, he calls himself, "Black knight."
My three boys watching our homemade crescent rolls rise.
We had a special pioneer family night this past week and invited some friends over. For dessert we made ice cream in a bag. Sawyer did not like all the noise of the bags shaking.

Sawyer really had no desire to go inside the clinic until I reminded him about the train table.
Sawyer really enjoyed painting this picture frame.

Flashes of Hope -- February 2008

We finally received our pictures from our February Flashes of Hope session. It took so long because the picture disk was misplaced. Sawyer was cranky that day and did not want his picture taken. We did get a few good shots, though.
The photographer tried using bubbles to get Sawyer's attention. He was still cranky, though.
Now Sawyer's interested in the bubbles.

June 23, 2008 Chemo Treatment #22

Sawyer was very excited to see the new train table.

Sawyer's 25 month old bear picture--June 8, 2008
On June 14th, we headed to the Shenandoah's to go hiking. I love this picture of Terry and Hunter. Best buds.

We made it to the top. Bridger and Makenna showing off their mummified Barbies. They sure had fun doing this project.
The other day Sawyer was being very quiet. I went to investigate and here's what I found. I love the fact that all of my kids LOVE books!

June 2008 -- Mummies, Swimming and Cows

We talked so much about mummies last week that Sawyer pretended to be one. While I was folding clothes, he kept wrapping himself in this sheet and telling me that he was a mummy. After putting away the clothes, I found Sawyer like this.
Bridger had his very first swim meet on Wednesday, June 18. He was awesome! He came away with a first place in the freestyle, first place in a relay and 2nd place in the backstroke. The first place backstroke winner was 2 years older than Bridger and Bridger almost beat him. Way to go, Bridger! Bridger's coach pulled me aside a couple of days ago (so almost a week after this first meet) and told me that he is very impressed with Bridger. He said Bridger has an amazing kick! On Saturday, June 21st we visited the Cows n' Corn Farm in Midland, VA. We had a great time seeing all the animals and learning a lot about cows. We even went on a 30 min. hayride tour of the dairy farm.
After the hayride, we attended "Cow School" and learned even more about cows. Did you know that cows do not have any top teeth? The kids loved getting up close and personal with a cow.
We even made some butter. Shake, shake, shake...
