like father, like son


Playing around with my new lens and capturing some great glimpses of life with this crazy kid.

Watching a little person turn into a slighty less-little person is entertaining, to say the least.

Noteworthy things Sawyer has done/said recently include, but are not limited to:

Telling us "This is not a joke! This is serious!", sometimes in correct context, sometimes not. Funny anytime.

Using his Lightning McQueen potty as a step stool instead of a place to deposit stools (like how I wrapped that up?)

Crouching down, yelling "Mark? Set? GO!" and running as fast as he can down the hallway over and over and over.

Lots of time with Dad with the summer off. August is going to crush him.

Asking if we can go to the beach again. Attaboy!

Refusing lunch or dinner. "I just need a snack!", meltdown ensues.

Outgrowing baths and wanting to take showers. At least he isn't refusing to bathe, waiting for that one.

"Bless that the bugs won't bite and the monsters won't bite" - said every night during his prayers. Do we have bed bugs I don't know about?

Lots of "helping", we'll use that term loosely. Helping me cook, helping Dad with the trash, helping clean up toys.

Being awesome, in general.

new lens, new life


For Mothers Day/Anniversary/making up for any holidays inbetween, Spencer got me a new camera lens. I've had a hard time adjusting to a fixed lens, but man, it is pretty.

baby, you're a firework

I'm a yankee doodle dandy. Truly, born on the 4th of July. It's a great day to have a birthday. Always a party, always explosives.



*I promise I'm not aging that rapidly. My eyes are bloodshot from lots of marco-polo in the pool.



It was another good birthday. This year there were several bbq's, prezzies (presents), and time with friends and family who I love. And not to mention spending a week on the beach in an amazing house a few weeks before my actual bday. 29 is gonna be a hard one to beat.
