Before the race-excited to run
Could not for the life of me get a good picture of both kids...

Best Friends
Outside hanging out in the shadeSame old excuse, different blog post. Life is busy- but in the best of ways! We had a streak of great weather and literally spent every single second that we could outside. It was even warm enough to play in the baby pool 2 days this week- which Sawyer and I BOTH loved. I got a new comfy lawn chair for mothers day, and while he splashed and swam- I got to lay out. And I actually got some sun.
Since I last blogged in march-oops- I have gone back to work. Still just 2 days a week thank goodness. I don't think I could be gone more than that. I of course dreaded having to leave Rowan, but just like when I went back after having Sawyer, thinking about it was much worse that actually doing it. I liked seeing all my friends again, getting out of the house, and contributing to our family. Plus Sawyer loves getting to go to nana's or TT's house again while I work. Rowan was mad and didnt take a bottle the first day I was gone until about 10 hours after I had left, luckily zach was home with the boys my first day back and now Ro takes a bottle just fine if Im gone.
We had a wonderful Easter- it was on my birthday this year so we celebrated both! I like to forget that I got another year old- Im still 22 in my mind :) I had a wonderful day with my family. I got furniture for our deck for my birthday and I LOVE it- we eat dinner on the deck every single night that the weather is decent. Sawyer adores getting to eat outside. Sawyer got to have three, yes, three easter egg hunts and he loved every second of it. "Eggs are hiding everywhere!" he told me when he woke up on easter morning.
We also celebrated Tulip Time- Sawyer adored the parade. Its been a whole week and I dont think a day has gone by that he hasn't woken up and asked me if we can go to the parade. There was a float that looked like and ice cream truck and he named it "mack" like the truck from Cars, and he asks me about Mack every.single.day.
He also ran in the kids klompen classic- a 3 block kids race. He LOVED it, and he didnt get tired or slow down. He ran and yelled "im racing!" He tells me that he won. But he also told me he ran fast because he wanted a popsicle- and Im pretty sure he had no idea he would get a popsicle at the end.
Rowan actually liked the evening parade at Tulip Time. The afternoon parade fell right during his usual big nap time- so he wasnt really a fan of that at all, but the lights of the night parade made him smile.
Both boys are growing up so fast. Sawyer talks up a storm and he is hilarious. He makes me laugh on a daily basis. He is certainly not a baby anymore. He is a full blown little boy now.
Rowan is such a sweet baby. He is in that rolly baby stage. He has rolled over from his tummy a few times, but more often he just spins his whole body around and will end up facing the complete opposite direction from where he started.
Sawyer still likes having a brother. I told him once- Rowan is going to grow up and be your best friend, you guys will have so much fun! And sawyer asked "will he play cars with me?"
Yep! I said, "and lots of other stuff too!"
Sawyer got so excited "I want him to grow up right now and play soccer with me!"
