Baby Rowan's first boat ride and his first trip to the Ozarks
Sawyer loves the jet ski
Grandpa and Ro
Hello precious baby!
Sawyer and his first fish!
I can not believe that it is already July. Wasn't it just January and we were welcoming home a tiny newborn??!! He isn't a tiny baby anymore! Rowan is getting to be quite a big boy! He is now sitting up for longer periods of time on his own, and I have once again started making home made babyfood for him- and just like Sawyer, he is quite the eater! And I must say- it is quite tasty! So much better than anything you can buy at the store- and healtier since I make it using nothing but fresh veggies and breast milk! Yum!
A few weeks ago we took our first summer trip down to the lake of the Ozarks. We had a great time swimming, boating and relaxing. Sawyer adores all things water related so we spent almost all day, every day in the pool, then on the jet ski, then on the boat, and then fishing! And Sawyer caught his first fish! We were down on the dock fishing- using chunks of hotdog left over from Sawyer's lunch as bait. I was helping Sawyer and Zach was fishing with a different pole. Where should we fish? I asked Sawyer? And he picked out a spot near a boat lift. I casted his line and let him hold the pole and before we knew it he had caught something- and it was big! I ended up grabbing the pole and reeling it in for him before he lost the whole pole into the lake and he caught a big catfish! Zach thought it was at least a pound and a half and it was pretty long too! Sawyer was terrified of the fish though "Its too big!" He told me! "I really wanted to catch a little one"
We also enjoyed celebrating the 4th of July. We had a busy weekend- we got a new cabinet and countertop to put in the laundry room, went to a birthday party, and went swimming on Saturday. Sunday we had a family day and we had a grillout picnic next to the lake. Then we took the kids up to the top of the observation tower- and THAT was a long walk with baby Ro on my back. The boys all walked in the parade while I worked, and then we all watched the fireworks together. Sawyer enjoyed them, and Ro slept through them- he LOVES bedtime and it was too late for him.
