Addie's Official Birthday Party #1

We went with the Barnyard Theme for Addie's first birthday, so different having all the older siblings there compared to Sawyer's first birthday with all the little kids!!

SUNFLOWER FARMS

We celebrated part of Addie's birthday at Sunflower Farms in Longmont because she LOVES animals! She was so funny pointing at the animals and working on her animal noises. Sawyer & Maggie enjoyed it too. It was alot of fun because Granny was here for the whole weekend to celebrate with us.

Macey WOO HOO, Uncle JAR, his new "friend" Danielle, and her two daughters came out for a quick visit at the end of March. The kids had a blast swimming at the rec center and as you can tell Addie too loves the water!

Sawyer's Field Trip to Sunflower Farms

Sawyer & I got to spend some quality one on one time on his field trip to Sunflower Farms which is one of the coolest places in our area. Of course he was drawn to "SMUDGE" the farm cat immediately who of course loved Sawyer. I think the goats had a gut ache from all the corn he fed them and then I got in trouble from one of the teachers for feeding the horses. Hey doesn't she know I am a farm kid from Kansas, I know what I am doing!!

PRIDE

So proud of my boy Sawyer! He received a PRIDE EAGLE AWARD at school yesterday. Mrs. Dreitz picked 2 kids out of the class and he was one of them. It was a surprise so we just told him Mrs. Dreitz wanted us to have a meeting with her and we headed over to the school. They had the whole school in the gym for an assembly with the parents sitting in the back. Mrs. Dreitz came and asked Sawyer to come sit with her afternoon class up in front, he had no idea still what was going on. The principal announced to the room of kids that she would be presenting PRIDE EAGLE awards to the kids who their teachers felt exhibit a prideful, respectful, kind attitude. She started with the Kindergarten class and announced Sawyer's classmate first then him. You could tell he was very surprised and then they drew names for someone to get to take home a stuffed Eagle and Sawyer's name was drawn. Pride Eagle hasn't left his side since! He is such a good kid and even though he drives me nuts at times at home I know he is a kind hearted kid!! To celebrate he picked
Chik-Fil-A for supper---
