We are all ready for the Olympics at our house. We got a USA jersey and everything.


This is what his hair looks like when daddy does it.

The bottom stair.

It's a perfect place for a little bum.


And it's a perfect place for a little snack.

The boy loves cottage cheese. He gets giddy when I open the fridge and points to it and says "cheese".



That size lasts us maybe 5 days. Maybe.






It makes Dixon gag. I love it.

So far he takes after me. Evidence: his love for peanut butter, cottage cheese, and yogurt.

That's my boy!

I was on a walk the other day when I came across this license plate:



Made me think of my dad and lil bro. They only golf at oakridge every day the sun shines, the rain rains, or the winds howl. Which is Every. Single. Day.

Daddies should never leave town.
Because when daddies leave town, mommies and Sawyer's get sick.



Second time in a row this has happened.

Apparently we miss daddy so much it makes us sick.

Those sweet little things

Right now it's all about the little things lately that has been making me happy.
Like these chairs.



He tried them all out. One was too hard, one was too soft, and one was just right!



I laugh when I find this scene:



He loves his blocks and he loves dumping them out, and im weird and so enjoy picking them up because I know he loves dumping them out so much. We built a tower the other day that would have made you jealous. We used every single block!



Our sink has turned into his new basketball hoop. He shoots it. He scores 2 points. And then we do a victory lap around the island (you better believe I'm doing the victory lap with him going crazy with my arms in the air. Sawyer giggling like crazy) and then he asks me to get the ball out so he can shoot it again.



I walked out to my garden today to find this little beauty. Look closely, he's there just waiting to be noticed. It's a pea in a pod. That I grew. And so be it if it's the only one that grows, I'll be eating it with a smile on my face!



And that red beauty hiding, he's number four. That's right, I've grown four tomatoes. I think I'll just give myself a little pat on the back right now, I honestly didn't think I would ever be able to get something to grow here!

Life is good. We spend our evenings sitting in our chairs, listening to crickets, admiring the stars, and enjoying good conversation of self reflection and self evaluation/growth with the husband. I swear if unicorns exist they are in my backyard on these spring nights... It's my happy place, my heart anxiously awaits it.

I have been taking extra seconds to enjoy the strolls with my son and the sand in my shoes at the park. I notice the colors of the wildflowers more often, and enjoy getting on all fours and wrestling with my little. I take time to listen to the quick strides of my feet as I race against the setting sun on my evening jogs and actually look over my shoulder to see that beautiful sun set against the shadowed mountains.

It's all about the little things right now. And I am loving it.

Don't you love beaters with cookie dough?















Yum!!
