| That would be two grandparents that are totally smitten! I LOVE this picture! |
 |
| Mush was "shooting" him with the water gun! |
 |
| At 6:30, he told us he was going night-night....even went around and gave hugs and kisses, but I didn't really think he'd go to sleep. How wrong I was! He climbed up on the couch and went right to sleep! |
Sunday, Sawyer and I got settled in and got to hang out with Uncle Brent all day. Brent even let Sawyer skype with Ali! He's such a good uncle!
Monday, my parents and sister came down to hang out for the day. Mama, Meredith, and I took Sawyer to "The Point" which is a little man-made beach while Lance and Daddy took the boat out on the lake! Mama and I took the paddle boat out...and luckily, I learned to steer it by the end of our ride! Monday night Brent and Meredith kept Sawyer so Lance and I got to go on a date. We went to one of our favorite places...Mellow Mushroom (and brought some back for the babysitters!)

| Me and Lance on the paddle boat! |
Tuesday morning Lance, my sister, Sawyer, and I went to the playground, but at 9:00 the slides were already too hot for his little legs! So, we headed to The Point again...and basically had it all to ourselves. Tuesday night, Brently made us "Krispy Kreme" burgers...basically you cut a donut in half, and make it your "bun"....pretty tasty!
 |
| On the dock with Brently! I'm so thankful for the time they spent together this week. Even though Brently had TONS of studying to do, he spent so much time playing with Sawyer. You rock, Uncle Brent! |
 |
| The boys outside cooking our burgers! |
Wednesday we celebrated the 4th of July with some of our closest friends. The Lester's, Harden's and McCandless' came down for the day with their kiddos....there were 7 adults and 6 kiddos. We had a blast!! The kids were so good...and they didn't even nap!
 |
| Playing while the mommies made lunch! |
 |
| He loved dipping his head in the pool! |
 |
| All the babies in the pool! |
Thursday we took Sawyer down to the beach again. There were tons of fish and if you got really still they would circle you (and even nip your bum!) To say that Sawyer loved the water would be an understatement. He is such a water baby...loved floating on his back, was very confident and independent in the water, let me dunk him under the water, didn't mind water in his face. We got him a really cool "floatie" called a Puddle Jumper and it may be the best investment we've made! It keeps him totally afloat, even in deeper water and allows him to kick his feet and paddle his arms. Awesome! There was a family there playing "Marco Polo" and Sawyer learned to say "polo" at the right time! He was also obsessed with taking his "peoples" to swim with him! Brent and Lance golfed that afteroon and later that night, Uncle John, Aunt Tammy, and cousins Daniel, Michael, and Katherine came and had dinner with us! We adore their family and had so much fun hanging out with them! We're excited that Daniel will be going to Liberty in the fall because one, it's a great school, and two, they will pass our house everytime they go see him so we'll be seeing them more!

| Breakfast with Daddy! |

 |
| LOVE! |
 |
| Oh, precious boy, those eyes melt my heart! |
 |
| Katherine, Tammy, and Sawyer playing with Play Doh! |
 |
| Trying to juggle like cousin Michael! |
Friday was a chill day at the house. We filled up the baby pool on the deck and played with water balloons. My parents also came down again and brought Sawyer a real drum set! He was ecstatic! They treated all of us to dinner at Chili's that evening!
 |
| Throwing water balloons off the deck! |
 |
| This is the face you make when you see your Mush and Papa getting drums out of their car!! |
 |
| SO excited! |
 |
| Totally in love!! Praying that he'll always have a passion for music...and use it for God's glory! |
 |
| Skills |

| Attempt at a family picture! |
Saturday morning we packed up our cars and stopped in Asheboro to see the grandparents, and then came back to Reidsville (and reality)!
Lance and I were talking last night and decided that this is the best "vacation" we've had since we got married. We look forward to many, many more fun vacations with our sweet Sawyer!
