My little Fish

My boy loves to swim. He would be in the pool every day if I let him. Anything to do with water he is in! He is getting really good at swimming by himself now. He still needs the floats for his arms but I'm thinking he'll be swimming on his own by the end of this summer.

Songkran (Thailand New Year)

The Thailand New Year is in April. Every year there is a HUGE celebration that they refer to as Songkran. It's basically a national water fight. Everyone gets geared up with water guns, hoses, buckets and buckets of water. There is a moat around the old city that is still filled with water and everyone drives around the circle soaking each other. It's really a blast!People stand on the sides of the road with their buckets in hand waiting to drench anyone that drives by.

Family Day in the Park

The weather has been getting warm but not super hot. We took a family day to this park near the soccer stadium. There were lots of fun things for Sawyer to climb on but his favorite thing was this "train swing". He did not get up for about 30 minutes.



Andrew finally coaxed sawyer off of the train and they tried a few other things.

the bikes

and finally a helicopter. This was almost as fun as the train. you spin the wheel in the middle and it makes the propeller on top spin. Sawyer was fascinated. After the afternoon in the park we when to a Chiang Mai FC (local pro soccer team) game. Sawyer loves watching the games it's amazing to me how he'll sit there for so long and watch the players run back and forth. He's 2 and his attention for the games last longer than mine...

Hide and seek

Lately Sawyer has been really into playing hid and seek. Usually he hides in the same place over and over( the stairs). Today we were Cleaning the house and he climbed into Ty's closet. I live his sweet little face. That big smile melts me every time I see it. He is truly my little joy bug.

Chiang Mai Zoo Day

Sawyer has a new friend Finn. His mom Jen and I have gotten them together a few times and they are becoming fast friends. We took them to the Chiag Mai zoo and aquarium. They had a blast running around looking at the fish. I wish I took more pictures but I was trying to enjoy to moment. :-)

This is Liam Jenn's other son. He is a sweet boy also. I am very thankful for this sweet family.
This is Jenn's husband Bill with Sawyer and Finn he was holding them up so they could se the seal show.

Hair cut and a treat

Sawyer has had countless hair cuts since he was a baby. He has so much hair and it grows so fast. Recently he had a not so great experience with the hair stylist. Poor guy cried the entire time and the woman didn't know what in the world she was doing.

I love his hair longer but here it's to hot here in Thailand so we have to keep it short and thinned. It's crazy that my 2 year old gets his hair thinned haha

Last time I took him to get his hair cut he was nervous ( after the last time). He cried and cried and was saying "please no hair cut please mommy please" it about killed me. But this time we went back to the guy who knows what he is doing and does a fantastic job. Sawyer made it through ok...there were some tears but he survived. After we went to this little bakery and had a cinnamon roll for a treat. I bought one for us to share and the owner of the shop brought sawyer his own for free. She said he looked like such a big boy with his new hair cut that he needed his own. Sawyer beamed it was so cute.

A Seat for Sawyer

My mom sent this booster seat for Sawyer. There are no safely laws in Thailand for kids in car seats which means trying to find one and then buy one it's going to cost 4 times what it would be in the states. So my mom sent this great little booster so Sawyer wouldn't have to keep sitting on my lap whenever we drive. He LOVES it. It even has a cup holder for his drink.

Some of My Favorites

One thing I love about having my iphone is that it takes pretty decent "in the moment" photos. I still prefer my "big" camera but for the day to day I can't bring that big thing around everywhere.

These are a few of my favorite phone pics I've taken recently. :-)

Best Buddies

I love how my boys love each other. I enjoy watching them play together. Sawyer loves jumping and playing with his daddy. Tyson is so good with Sawyer. I am so blessed to have such an amazing husband who loves our son and takes the time to get on the floor and play with him. Sawyer adores Tyson and he wants to everything Ty does. It's so cute watching Sawyer watch his daddy. Ty eats ketchup on his eggs now sawyer wants "dip dip" for his eggs too. Now it's copying whatever ty says too. Today Tyson was explaining to me about the super highways and the roads here in Thailand. Sawyer all the sudden started blabbing and telling me mommy turn left turn right hahaha It was so funny.
