Sawyer sporting his new hat! Very cute Sawyer!

Amya enjoying her sucker while watching the Gretna Days Parade! Good times!

Water fun in Branson, MO! Table Rock Lake! We went down to meet up with some good friends! We really had a great time! Went out on their boat and did some tubing and swimming!

Cliff jumping in Branson, MO! What a fun trip! I hotel room with 7 people. Only 2 beds, 2 pack in plays, 1 swing, and a lot of luggage! Yikes! Not to mention the car seat and stroller, all crammed into one very small space! But worth every min.

I thought I would try a new pose! It turned out kind of cute!

Sawyer is 3 months!

I can't believe its almost been a month since Christmas and I'm just now getting around to posting our family fun! We had a wonderful Christmas! Amya wasn't to sure about santa, even when it was her grandpa! She only cried for the first 5 min.

Coy being his normal crazy self!
Cute little Wyatt, I think he knows it grandpa.

Cute hat Jayden! CHeck out her cheesy smile!

We had a quiet Christmas this year, didn't do a whole lot, but reflect back through the last years events!

Here is Amya's birthday invitation! I thought the little pumpkin theme was fitting for this time of year! I think they turned out so cute! Were having a magic show and balloon characters made, as well as food, cake and fun!

11 months already! I know that it goes fast, but this time it seemed to go way to fast! I cant believe I 'm going to have a 1 yr. old birthday party in less then a month! Wow! Anyway, a few things Amya is doing; 1st, she is sooooo close to walking. She will stand up by herself, take about 4-10 steps then stop and stand there. She is climbing up a little climber we got her, and then turning around and going down the slide! I just don't remember my other kids doing this at such a young age! Her favorite things to eat are; turkey, hotdogs, pizza, carrots, green beans, peaches and we can't forget oreo's! She just recently had her first oreo and she loved it, but made a huge mess. She is a great eater! She is also off the bottle(except one before she goes to bed), and is almost on whole milk. In about 1 more week she will be off of formula! Amya is wearing size 2 diapers, but will be moving to size 3 as soon as the 2's are gone! She wears 9-12 month clothes(she has gained some weight with all this big girl food she's eating)! In size 2 shoes. She's says words like cat, dog, mom, dad, ba ba, hi, bye, nite nite. She can sign a few things, but is more into trying to tell me with words, then using her signs. Oh well, i know what she wants when she asks! She is so happy, people comment on her being so happy all the time. I've been so lucky, all my babies have been great babies!

Here are a few cute family pics of us at my cousin wedding 2 weeks ago! The kids all looked so cute, i had to take a few pics to capture the moment! The wedding was beautiful, but the weather was horrible!

Okay, you know your baby is growing fast when she wants to go on car rides with her big sis already! We were all outside laying one of these last couple of days and Amya got to go on a jeep ride! She looks so big in that jeep! Jayden drove really nice with her in it!

Jayden participated in a cheer camp a few weeks back! She really enjoyed it, but as for me, I'd rather stick with softball. She did look pretty cute on the field with all 150 kids! The second pic is of Jayden and her good friend Jaiden!

Wyatt is playing flag football! It is so cute and fun to watch! He is the center (the one who hands the ball to the QB) He might be kinda hard to see, but he is handing the ball off and in yellow shorts!

Amya can walk around anything now! She loves to be up and walking. She has taken 5 steps by herself so far. Not much longer and she will be running. Here she was pushing her pretend baby!

Sorry for the upside down pic!
I love to eat! I can shove a full fist into my mouth! I love any kind of pasta, g.beans, carrots, all kinds of meat, and potatoes! I have gained almost 2 pounds in the last month, and you can see it. Amya has finally got her baby fat!

One of our favorite spots is the window. We love to watch the dogs! One day while she was looking out the window, I caught her attention. She turned around with the curtain over her head and gave me the biggest smile! That just made my day!

We had a few of the kids friends over to a last blast back to school party! I had a cake made that said, "Yahoo! We're gettin rid of you. Happy back to school" he kids thought it was funny. We had a great night with friends and food!
I took a quick pic of the kids right before they left for the bus!

The 3 older kids walking to the school bus on the the 1st day of school! They were so excited to get back together with all their friends!

Amya had her 9 month pics taken this last week! Here are a few of my favorites! My little Husker! She's just too cute!

SO BIG! or TOUCH DOWN!

Amya is 9 months! Yeah!!!!! She is into everything! And I mean everything! At our 9 month Dr. appt. Amya weighed 16.8, she is 28.5 inches tall. It seems like she has put on a lot of baby fat in the last month. She has totally filled out everywhere! Amya favorite things to eat are: mac N cheese! Any kind of meat(cut up of course), fruits and carrots! Her favorite things to do are: Walk around the couch or hold someone's hand and walk! Climb up her Step 2 climber thing and then turn around and go down the slide! But, her most favorite thing to do is play with her big sister and brothers! She also loves to wrestle with her siblings as well.

Amya has been walking around furniture for a little over a month now! I snapped this pic right before bedtime. She was full of smiles and running back and forth along the couch! Since this picture, Amya has been seen standing on her own and has taken about 2 steps without holding on to anything! I bet she will be walking by Oct.

I went into Amya's room early one morning to check on her and I found her laying/sitting up sleeping on her crib bumper! I bet she was playing and then found herself tired again, and pretty much passed out like this! I thought it was too cute to pass up a photo!

Peek a Boo! I see you! Oh how cute! Amya loves to pull the blanket over her head and play peek a boo now! She has been so much fun these last few months. Exploring and trying new things! She surprises me everyday with something new!

Poor Amya had to play in this little kennel if you will. Jason and I have been busy the last few weekends putting all new siding on our house! I don't think she minded it to much! She was in the shade and had her toys!
