"Carrie, Sawyer is outside by himself..."

We had a great time last night with our Thursday Night group at John & Ashton Kruses's house. The weather was just gorgeous so we were able to sit outside and enjoy it! Later on in the evening it did get pretty stormy-just another welcomed sign that SPRING is here and that summer is just around the corner!

Brandon and Sawyer playing some form of poker-it's funny that no matter what game it is that Sawyer comes up with for you to play, it always ends up with, "I WIN!!"

John & Ashton~Thanks for a great night! Ashton made a really yummy dinner of crispy ranch chicken, herbed potatoes, cheesy rice, salad and scotcheroo (sp?) bars for dessert!

We have started planning on a camping trip to Niobrara that our Thursday Night group would all go on together in June. So there was much planning/debate last night about the best spot by the river, how many tents to take, who is going up on Thursday or Friday, should we do group meals were each couple is responsible for one meal, are we going to bring the dogs, should we bring a gun (we shut that one down pretty quick), who wants to go canoeing and who wants to tube, are there showers and whether or not it's OK to poop behind trees.....

We were also celebrating Nora's 1st birthday! This is her opening her gifts from us-Girlie Clothes! I don't think it's any secret that buying clothes for girls is a lot more fun than buying them for boys...the selections at the stores even tell you that-there are fourteen racks for girls and three for boys! So it's always fun for me to get to meander around the girls section whenever I get the chance! :)

So, we're sitting inside just about to watch, "The Office" when Jessy goes, "Hey Carrie, Sawyer is outside by himself." So I look and there is Sawyer, out on the front porch scaling the beams!
What a BOY!

While I'm thinking, "Oh my goodness, he's going to fall and we're going to end up in the ER.." Bill is like, "WOW Man!!! That's cool! Good climbing!"
Oh! Two days ago, Sawyer was jumping on his bed and jumped right into the window sill and the blinds! So now his face looks like he got attacked by a wildebeest.....ahh the joys of having a little boy*

John decided to take Sawyer on a quick little bike ride around the dinning room...

This is what happens when you ask Chase to help Sawyer get his shoes on.....
