BuSy ToO?

My sweet husband, who I couldn't
make it through the week with out his support and patience.
Love you, babe!


Okay, I know everyone is busy just like myself, but please bare with me as I vent or escape. I don't know what to call it. I have been so busy, maybe the busiest I have ever been in my whole life. Surprisingly I have handled the extra work and stress quite well. I love the things that I am part of and have enjoyed trying new things and stepping outside my comfort zone.
1st I had Webelos and that ended with the huge Blue and Gold dinner then it was on to Yw camp. Planning and more planning. Packing, scheduling, getting volunteers, crafts, games, guest speaker, planning meals, devotional and last but not least all their camp requirements passed off before camp! Crazy! Yes I know! I have learned to let somethings go and some have just fallen to the waste side. I have learned to stretch some things out like washing sheets and dusting. (this doesn't mean it doesn't bug me the whole time though) I have been surprised over and over how supportive my husband and all my family are.I have been playing on a softball team and have completely had a blast!(It is a nice break)
My sister is getting married in like the next 2 and 1/2 weeks and I haven't really prepared for it at all though. I am making her cake, bake and decorating and get it to the event in one piece, Sydnee is a flower girl and I have to sew up her dress, Sawyer is a ring bearer, at least that is the easiest thing so far we just ordered a tux off the net! I have to hem my bridesmaid dress and help decorate baskets, and ring pillows, tie a million bows and help with food, reception and brunch! We just finished her wedding shower and it went well with hot pink and black being our jumping off point. It was so cute!
I have the Barker family reunion to help plan in August and that leaves us with the West family camping trip and reunion! All of things I am so excited to be part of I just hope I can get it all together and enjoy it at the same time. I don't know when we are going to fit in camping and school clothes shopping but maybe there will be a day or two somewhere. I also have the little things that I want to do like, hike Timp, have a couple friends over for a dinner party, go clothes shopping for myself, enjoy the summer with my kids, go out on the lake for a day, catch up my blog and attend the temple.
I know there is a million more things as well but I can't think of all of them now! So just hang in with my spinning head! I have a hard time even caring on a conversation. So there is my P's and Q's! I am off to the copy store for like the 100th time this week!

Sawyer man is 4!!

Three years old
21/2 years old
6 months
3 months
Sawyer's 1 year old
I know I always say this but time really does fly! My baby is 4 years old today! Sawyer has been so much fun. He has a smile that always puts you in a great mood. He is funny and at an early age of 2 learned how to tease and hasn't stopped. He loves his sister and friends! He does the funniest things and is really hard to discipline because you are laughing on the inside and trying to hold a serious face on the outside. He is very caring and is always makes sure everyone gets what is being handed out or gets to do what he is doing, even if they don't want to. I feel so lucky to have a boy and a girl but I have to tell you this boy thing was a little harder than I first thought. He can be such a mess! Busy and into everything! Good thing we love him so much and think he is a keeper!
Happy 4th birthday our little Sawyer-man!
Never stop smiling!
