A shower, remote, and a garden

Sawyer loves to put on his sunglasses and watch and shoes. It's our daily routine.
His most favorite place to be is in my bathroom going through all my drawers of stuff. To his disappointment daddy put locks on the drawers so he can no longer throw my perfume, makeup, blow dryers, hair ties, and deodorant all over the floor (or in the toilet). So he has found something else to entertain him... my shower. We have a walk-in shower, and he loves to walk in it and organize all my shampoos and conditioners just so. He claps for himself when he's done cuz brother knows he's done a good job. He leaves a good amount of footprints in the somewhat damp shower, so when the busy boy finally sleeps momma gets busy scrubbing those footprints. Or not. Sometimes I leave them because I like to see baby footprints when I get in the shower.












Today he got a hold of the remote control to the tv and somehow got the Dan Patrick show on and pointed to it and said "daddy!!!" (because he knows daddy watches that show before work in the morninngs) and watched it for a good five minutes. (Dan patrick is basically a sports radio guy). I quickly picked up my phone to call that "daddy" to inform him he should be a proud dad for two reasons: 1. That his son knows how to work the tv and 2. his son chose Dan Patrick.




Notice he fell asleep with his dad's watch on. I thought I got all the watches off before bed, but this is what I found when I went to check on him.




And this beauty went on my sandwich today. I walked out to my garden this morning to converse with my plants. I talk to them and encourage them to grow in this crazy heat. And there she was in all her juicy red glory. Delicious my friends, absolutely delicious. Lyla was even jealous.

My Sawyer

This picture says a lot about my Sawyer
1. He likes to be inside and outside at the same time. All day long. It's a sad story when the door has to close so we can turn on the AC.
2. He likes bare piggins. He begs you to put on his shoes, but don't be fooled. He likes free pigs
3. He loves his bottle. lovingly referred to as "baba". He walks around with it hanging from his teeth. It's what the cool kids do. We're down to 2 bottles a day. One in the morning, one at night.
4. He likes to have his shirt off and tries to take it off all day long.
5. He has a farmers tan. Meaning we are outside a lot. Wanna bet that mom has a farmer's tan too?
6. His feet are always dirty. See # 2

This morning the soy boy and I walked over to the grocery store for some yogurt and cottage cheese. And on our way home, he convinced me to stop at the park. I mean really, when your little Mr points at the park and gets all excited and starts jabbering away, how can you turn him down?




There's just nothing like starting your day at the park when the birds are chirpin, and baby piggins are free of shoes, and jammies are still on... We had the park all to ourselves, and our quick detour turned into a long detour as we soaked up the sun's rays and took our sweet time, just mama and son.












And on our journey home we walked down this sidewalk and I was in my happy place as luscious green grass greeted us and large green trees hung overhead.




It was such a beautiful morning with my little.
Forget about my meltdown at the doctor's office this afternoon and my flat tire that accompanied me home from said doctor's office. To that I say hakunna matata. And stuff my mouth full of red velvet cake complete with buttercream frosting.



Happy Monday.

More Disney

Day Two:
We woke up early and went to California Adventure and went on the new Ariel ride two times in a row! Sawyer loved the bubbles. I thought they did a great job on making it not so scary (dude, have you been on the snow white ride lately... Scary).


Disney has something for everyone... I walked by these orange roses and couldn't resist a picture with them. If you know me at all you know that I love orange and I love flowers...



We went on King Tritan's carousel and sawyer loved it so much thatwe did it three times in a row.


After the third time the boy threw a fit when the ride was slowing down and smacked his head into the pole that holds the horse. I figured that was a good time to stop and go back to the hotel for a nap.


Love these moments, I don't come by them very often!

Next up a treat from jamba juice... I should have ordered a larger one because my Sawyer couldn't get enough of that tasty goodness!



He wore his watch all day long... We kept asking him "what time is it" and he would open his watch and point to it.









I experienced captain EO for my very first time. Oh MJ, how I love your music.



Sawyer even liked it... He didn't keep the glasses on, but we gave him a water bottle and that boy was entertained the whole time. He loves taking the lid on and off.

Dixon and I snuck away to ride the toy story mania ride. Worth the hour wait. Bless my mister's heart, he even let me get a picture of us with our glasses on!


We called it a night after that. Little guy was done. He slept like a rock the whole trip!

Day 3
We took it easy, did a little California Adventure, a whole lot of pool time! A Dole whip at the tiki room, dinner at Naples, and fireworks to top it off.





















We had so much fun on this last family vacation before uncle chase leaves on his mission to London! Thank you sweet Leavitt family!!

This is technically Sawyer's second trip to Disneyland, but it's his first with the Leavitts and it's the first time he can enjoy the rides! I can't even begin to explain the excitement in my heart to watch my baby boy experience this place. And my baby boy proved to be not so baby and a lot of bit toddler.

We started the day off early, we went in an hour before the park actually opened and enjoyed fantasy land and short lines! Sawyer was a little timid during the rides, but would clap after the ride every time.






That lot of bit toddler I was talking about, he wanted to stand in the line- forget about being held!






Did I mention it was a little rainy. I was ok with that. Shorter lines is worth the sacrifice of good hair. He LoVeD the carousel, notice him holding on tight, he knew right what to do! Giddy up!



My matching boys. Black and red are our family's colors if you haven't noticed. Go rebs.



He did good for most of the day, a quick stroller nap helped solve the grumpies!



We ventured to Toon Town today, and my boy was best friends with that mouse we lovingly call Mickey. We walked right up to him and Sawyer got so excited and started jabbering away and wanted to touch his nose. He wouldn't let go of his nose... He even gave it a kiss.






And to top off our lovely day, I was standing in line at the choo choo train and look up to see our good friends lindsay and brad and faye! It's a small world after all. (pun intended).






Sawyer and Faye shared a slobbery kiss. Melt.
We ended our day with a Mickey mouse watch and the parade. I've mentioned before that sawyer loves watches, so we decided that would be his souvenier. That boy was so dog gone excited, worth every penny.






Watching the parade. One thing I have just soaked in this trip is watching Dixon with Sawyer. Those two are best buds, they speak the same language, and I love watching them together.



And we had to get a picture with grandma Carolyn because they were matching.

One day down. Memories were made. I pat myself on the back for taking pictures. And journaling for the day is complete, now I need to soak my feet with some bath salts:)

One thing about my sawyer that you might not know: he's a love bug! He comes up behind me and gives me the sweetest loves






Sure makes this mama melt! And as for him he loves my phone and always wants to see himself on it... We can thank FaceTime for that!















And another thing... Forget about playin with mom's jewelry. It's all about daddy's watches!






He was so happy about having daddy's red watch on that he cheered himself on in the mirror... After checking out his reflection of course..



He thinks he's pretty cool!

Oh sweet love bug, I'm sure glad your mine!
