Happy Birthday Sawyer

Last Saturday we helped celebrate Sawyer's first birthday. It was a lot of fun and I'm pretty certain that Sawyer had a really good time. I couldn't help but think back to Jackson's first birthday. It's kind of hard for me to believe that Jackson will be 8 this February ... and it's also kind of hard to believe that it's been a whole year since Sawyer came into Dave and Sandy's life (well, came into a whole bunch of people's lives, actually). I remember it like it was yesterday.
Here are some pics.

 

 

 

 

1st Day, 2nd grade

Today is Jackson's first day in 2nd grade. It's hard to believe that this is even possible. I mean, I remember when I was in the 2nd grade. Time flies, so I need to remember to enjoy the moments.


Starting the day off right.


Being silly w/ his friend Emma as they wait for the bus.



The big 2nd grader. BTW,I didn't choose this outfit,but Jackson DIDN'T want to wear what I put out. You choose your battles!


Still waiting.


Here comes the bus. The excitement is kicking in !





Load 'um up. They have the same bus driver as last year. The kids were excited about that.


Off he goes ... Have a great day bud !

Labor Day 2008

Another year ... another good time.
This year's trip was to Westerly, R.I. We've never stayed there before, so it was like a game of Russian Roulette (ok, not exactly like that, but you get the idea). It turned out to be a really nice place ... so we're planning to go back again next year. But, with a group like this, how could you possibly go wrong ??!!



On Monday afternoon some of us decided to head to Newport, R.I. to see how the rich folk live. Wow, what a neat place. I'm totally living there when I grow up ;)
