A little spring cleaning already and some pics of the kids..

Today I decided that I would start some spring cleaning early since I really have Spring fever. So I decided to start cleaning out the kids closets and getting their old 0 to 3 and 3 to 6 month clothes out and put away in tubs. It was kinda sad seeing how small all their stuff was and knowing that they won't be fitting in them anymore. Sadie does still fit in some of her 3 to 6 actually since she is so tiny still. But I did get a good portion of it put away!

Anyway so when I was doing that I found some hats that they had worn last summer when they were newborns and decided to try them on just for fun. It was pretty funny, Sadie kept trying to get hers off and Sawyer was just looking at me like I was crazy! Apparently I need to buy them both new sun hats this year for our trip to Disneyland, because these one's are a bit to small!
So here are the silly pictures we took today while we were hanging at home cleaning stuff out.
I happened to have just finished talking to Lance on my cell phone and so it was close and so these pictures are from that so hopefully they look OK. Some are a little blurry!

Look at that sweet little face. I just love this kid! ♥
This hat actually still kinda fits. I love his cute smile. What's up my peeps!Sweet little Sadie, she was not wanting anything to do with this hat, on her head anyway once she got it off it went right into her mouth! I love her ♥ Good afternoon everyone! And here is my dang cute smiling boy, he was having a good time today!

Sawyer's surgery has been rescheduled!

So as some of you may know that Sawyer was suppose to have Surgery done this last Tuesday. But because he is still getting over his cold and cough we had to reschedule it. He is having tubes put in his ears since he has had so many Ear infections and when we went to the ENT to have his ears looked at they did a test on him and said that he has fluid in both ears and that the test they did on him that usually shows movement in his ears and what it showed on the screen it should show where it comes to a peak which means the fluid is moving and his did not show that and so they want him to have the tubes put in. And he is also getting his Circumcision finished, finally. Since the Doctor messed it up at the hospital when he was born, now he has to have it fixed and done the correct way! This may be to much info for some and Lance would probably die that I am writing about Sawyer's little boy parts, but they just have to basically remove the rest of the fore skin so it will look normal and make sure that it is nice and straight! See that wasn't so bad, lol. So in the end it will all be fixed and look perfectly normal and he won't even know the difference! Anyway we had to wait till he was over 6 months for that since he needs to be put under and so now since he is having the tubes done as well we are doing them both the same time.

That way he only has to be put under anaesthesia once and not twice and that makes us happy, since I am worried about him going under it anyway. I know it will only be about 25 to 30 minutes but as a mom I still worry. But I know he will do fine. So he will now go in March 17th to Primary's and have both surgeries done. We pray he will be all over his cold and cough and be able to go in this day. If you will please keep him and us in your prayers on this day we would appreciate it!
Thanks,

Hurray! We have a tooth!

That's right, my little Sawyer boy has cut his very first tooth!! We figured that he had to be getting one since for the last month he has been drooling none stop and kept rubbing his tongue across his gums all the time. We thought that it was coming up on the opposite side that it did, but it surprised us and showed up on the right side on the bottom. I think he may still have another one coming in on the left side on the bottom as well. Just have not seen it for sure yet!
I tried to get a picture of it after I finished feeding him, but he was having nothing of that and just kept pushing his tongue over it. Little stinker.

So here are a few pictures at my not so good attempt!


This first picture cracks me up, he has the look of you better not try and see my tooth Mom because I am not in the mood to show it! :)

This one he was sticking his tongue over it so I couldn't see it! Maybe later when he is over feeling it all the time I will get a better picture. I am excited and sad at the same time, it is fun seeing them both move through all the mile stones but sad that they are growing up way to fast! :)

♥ VaLeNtInEs DaY FuN! ♥

We had a fun Valentine's day. Lance had to work, so I took the kids and met him for lunch and forgot to take even one picture of him and the kids. But we got some later when he got home. And after we went to lunch I drove down to my Parents and hung out for awhile there and they got Valentine's from their cousins and we passed out theirs to the cousins. It was fun this year to have my own kids pass out valentine's this year. (Even though as always they don't know what is going on, but it is still fun) They got some fun teething toys from my parents and a cute puppy, Sadie's was white and pink and Sawyer's was blue and white. And then they got toy remotes since they love playing with our real ones. And they each got a little ball a Diego one and a Princess one. My mom also bought them their outfits they wore that day. We got them a cute stuffed brown Puppy for Sawy and a White bear for Sadie.
And Lances mom got them a cute shirt as well. Thanks everybody for always spoiling our kids! I also got spoiled by Lance, I thought we had decided that we weren't going to do big gifts this year so I was surprised when he came home from work and had a present for me. I was really excited to open it and I got to open it Friday night since he would not be home Saturday. He got me beautiful Diamond-Pearl earrings and I love them! Thanks honey.

So here now are all the millions of pictures, beware there are a lot. I just could not pick between which one's I wanted to post. Enjoy! ♥


Happy Valentine's day from Sawyer and Sadie

They kept just grabbing for the camera, it was very hard to get them to sit still to get these done, especially when I was doing it by myself!

Sawyer's smile in this one is so cute, Sadie kept trying to escape.




Here she is again trying to roll away from me.
She looks so cute here, she decided to scratch herself right before we took pictures!
I even tried putting her in the bumbo to see if she would sit still better and she was still being a stinker and kept looking away! :)
I tried standing her up to take one so that I could get a picture of her little mini skirt that she had on with her hearts stretch pants but it didn't work very well. As you can see I could not decide on which head band to have her wear, so she has a couple different one's on till we found the one Mommy wanted! lol
Here is my little man, I didn't forget about him.. He had not very many smiles for me. But I just love his big blue eyes!
He was also trying to get the camera from me.


This look is funny, I am not sure what she is trying to say here!





Oh they just love each other so much!



But in this picture I think Sadie had enough of me taking pictures and of Sawyer putting his arm around her, she was trying to push his arm away, so funny!




Here we are at my parents house, I wished that it wasn't such a dark picture. Anyway we are missing 6 of the grand kids. But we have my younger brother's kids and my sister Michele's kids in this. All the girls were fine with taking it, but the boys wanted out of it.
Maguire, Dillon, Kasidee, Ireland, Bailee, Ryker, Brooklyn, Sadie, Makele and Sawyer
Sadie, Sawyer and Ireland. Sadie just would not sit back, she wanted to keep leaning forward.
My two little Valentine's


Sawyer and Ireland, waiting patiently

Sadie falling over, oops!

Ryker trying to help Sadie sit back for a picture

Me and my sweetie's. They were really done taking pictures by then.

Here is our first attempt to take a family picture, we were at our house and so we set it on the timer and that didn't work so well.

And our second one is better, at least they are looking at the camera. It kinda cut us off a little though. But we at least got one!

Daddy and the kids, first attempt picture

And the last picture of the day! No smiles from the kiddo's, but still very cute!

We hope that you had a great Valentine's day. Love, Lance, Amber, Sadie and Sawyer ♥
