How many posts will we have for Sawyer's first birthday??? Well.... in MY world (and by default my kids' world) birthdays last an ENTIRE week. That's why you don't have you birthday party ON your birthday. You get more days to celebrate then...
Sawyer woke up feeling sick on his birthday. It was so sad. :(
But we still celebrated. He took a great little morning nap and then we headed to lunch at Avanti's with Gigi and Aunt Bare. It was a delicious and fairly quick. Charlotte was in quite a mood (it was nap time but we were forfeiting her nap for Sawyer's birthday festivities.)
We then headed to a farm park in one of the towns close to us.
Poor sick boy didn't quite know what to think of it.
He still looked so cute in his birthday gear.
Charlotte and Aunt Bare were crazy about all of the animals.
He wanted snacks...and to kind of look at the animals.
Oh the goats.... Mary got pretty mad at one of them. He was a bully. Mary kicked the fence a bit at him. It was pretty funny. He just was rude and stealing all of the food from all of the other goats! So selfish...
But they had this cow. We LOVED this cow. She was so beautiful....by far the most beautiful cow I have EVER seen.
Mom was in love with her too.
She was in love with mom's clothes.
She tried to eat part of Mom's skirt.
Gigi and her babies... the one on the right just looks so sickly.
CHEESE!
How sweet are these guys???
Mary knows I never get pictures with my kids. I love that she tries to get some of us together.
I look horrendous in this picture... I have side burns, a fat arm, and my hair all kinked and sweaty and gross. BUT my daughter looks so beautiful. She looks like a gorgeous little girl.
WEEEE!!!
Giddy up, cowboy!
She is so bossy. She was telling us all what she wanted us to do.
My little horsey lovers.
Hanging in the hay loft.
Charlotte even got to see what it would feel like to milk a cow!
Lady like? I think yes.
My gorgeous offspring.
Aunt Bare was such a help (and the kids really love when they get to have one on one attention.)
This is how he preferred to be at times... just be left alone.
Mary wanted to make sure the cow got a bunch of treats so she went and bought more cones of food for the cow. She has a heart as big as the moon for animals. :)
Charlotte's face was priceless as she watched the cow down the cone with the snacks in it.
Look at that face????
We finished up at the farm park and headed over to meet Papa for ice cream. Our sick boy took a nap and so did his big sister. We met Gigi and Papa at Emo's for ice cream.
Getting a drink from Aunt Bare waiting for Papa to get there...
Gigi and Papa and their little babes.
WHOA! That's cold!!
After ice cream, we headed back home. The poor birthday boy was just feeling pretty bad. His supper included a popsicle (what the birthday boy wants, the birthday boy gets).
Sawyer had a great birthday....besides being sick the entire day. He was such a good (subdued and tired) sport.
Hopefully next year he won't have a cold for his birthday.
Happy Birthday sweet boy....
