Tired babies

This morning, Sawyer, Madelyn, and I went swimming with Poppie and Honey.  Honey sat with Sawyer while Madelyn, Poppie, and I swam.  School is back in session so we had the indoor and outdoor pools mostly to ourselves which was a real treat.

We started at the indoor pool and went around the lazy river several times.  After a short adult swim (or safety break as they call it), we played briefly in the fountains and then went outside.

Outside, Honey and Sawyer found a nice table in the shade.  Madelyn, Poppie, and I played with an orange ball, did motorboat, kicked, practiced back floats, and jumped in the water among other things.  We swam until Madelyn got cold and then ate our snacks, cleaned up, and came home for lunch.

At 100P today, both of my babies were tucked in their beds and sound asleep.  This at least 30 minutes earlier than our usual nap time.  Additionally, it included no nap time shenanigans from Madelyn.  SO, it would seem as though if I really want to wear out my kiddos, all we need to do is pool it up real good.

Tomorrow's outing - Museum of Nature & Science.  Hopefully we have the same luck!

Two months!

Our Sawyer is officially two months old!


I can...

...follow Mommy around the room with my eyes.
...almost sleep through the night.  I only wake up once to eat between 300 and 400 a.m.
...coo and smile.
...hold my head up.
...hold a ring toy in my hand.

Height: 23 1/2"
Weight: 12 lb 14 oz

How has two months gone by already?!  In some ways, it feels like just yesterday.  But, in other ways, I feel like you've been with us all along.  Happy birthday, sweet Sawyer!

Tiny Town

A week ago, our cousins Emery and Camden, Aunt Sandi, and Uncle Jerky were visiting from San Diego.  One of our day trips was an outing to Tiny Town, Colorado.  We have wanted to go to Tiny Town for a while now and the family visit was the perfect excuse.

We saw trains, lots of tiny houses and buildings, played on the playground, rode the train (twice), and enjoyed ice cream cones.

FEE, FI, FO, FUM.

"I'm coming in!"

"Two tickets for Cars, please." 

Good thing there's no porch furniture or else she wouldn't have fit!
Oh, and she's covering her ears are because the train was too loud.

A true daddy's girl, she loves Home Depot.

Choo choo! 

Ice cream is the perfect end to a perfect day.

Sawyer slept for our entire outing.
