sawyer's actual birthday

{completely unedited pictures...i'm tired...but he had a good day and you need to see it!}

my mom is watching 2 of my brother's kids this week.
they came over and we got to spend the morning with them!
fun and crazy! :-)

sawyer was thrilled with the few balloons we blew up for him and just had around the house.

he was content to chase them around all day.

and throw them.

i love how his little foot is just coming over the chair rung in this picture...

after the swim meet tonight we let him open his gifts.

rebekah gave him her dog that "she doesn't really play with anymore"
he seems moved doesn't he? :-)

we went all out...
2 bags with balls in them.
1 bag with sippy cups and an outfit.

go on, sawyer!
dig in!

here we go!

tissue paper flying!

balls!!!

a happy little boy!

another one??
really, dad??

i love all 4 kids faces here...dad is opening the bag full of tennis balls...
