Playing Catch-Up Part 1

Cael loves being a big brother to Wyatt. 
 
Moving to the Raleigh area gave us an opportunity to see more of our family.  We have been able to spend time with grandparents 
 Arville Emmett Sawyers is one of the grandfathers Emmett was named after.

 I call my grandma Sawyers 'Flossy' because she is so sassy.
The boys were so sweet to give her hugs and kisses.
 Mark and Wyatt just snuggled.
 
For Easter we were able to visit my brother Kevin and his family.
Here are the crazy big kids.. Max, Emmett, Maylee, Cael, and Isaac.
 And there is my sister-in-law Jennie making us a smoothie.
 Roxie is a cutie and about 4 months older than Wyatt.
 These two chunky monkeys hung out in their strollers while we had some Easter fun at the church.
 Emmett and Max tossed some eggs into baskets.
 Maylee took Cael by the hand everywhere they went.  Those two were pretty much inseparable the entire visit. 
 And here the cuties are after running around during the egg hunt.
Emmett, Max, Maylee, Roxie, Cael, Wyatt, and Isaac.
 
So I was attempting to take a decent picture of Emmett to be blown up to a 5x7 to put on my grandma Hiatt's wall.  He was not be normal or stand still for nothing.  CRAZY child!
 
Being this close to High Point we've been able to spend time with Papi and Mimi as well.  The boys love to go to their house.


 There is my handsome boy waking up in the morning.  Hey bright eyes!
Granny Morgan sent the boys Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle shirts.
Heroes in a half shell!
 Beesha came up to hang out with us.
 
Mommy gets some of Wyatt's kisses every chance she gets.
 I love it that he started kissing back... his mouth is wide open but it is as cute as can be.
 
Mark found a local park to take the boys to.


 
We went to Salisbury for my cousin Amy's wedding and stayed the night in a hotel.  The older boys snuggled in their transformer bed. :)
 Wyatt practiced rolling over


 Wyatt got to meet grandma Hiatt for the first time.  His middle name is her husband's name, Talmage. 
 After the wedding we hung out at a park with our cousins for a while.
 Cael climbed the rock wall with Isaac.
 The dads swung on the swings.. Mark and Kevin.
 
I love to make my Jenilee's recipe for homemade strawberry cake.  I decided to let the boys help me.


 Wyatt began sitting up and playing on his own.
 
Then we took a trip down to Florida.  Mark stayed down there with his folks while I went on a trip for work.

 We took the boys to the beach.


 Hung out with Beesha for a little bit..
 'Riding in the car is fun....'
 'We only went to the bathroom 10 times....' :)
 'oh mom we can't help it'

Emmett turned 3 in May.  Time flies!  We went to Papi and Mimi's for a little celebration.
 We got to see papa and nana Sawyers
 Emmett got all kinds of fun toys and nice clothes.
Thank you papi and mimi!
 Yummy cupcakes! 

 Cael got Emmett the Red Power Ranger stuff as a gift.  It was hard to take it off of him.
 On Emmett's actual birthday Mark made fun pancakes for the boys.
 What a sweet daddy!
 Wyatt was not eating pancakes yet but he got to eat some baby food.
 
While our house was being built we stayed in an apartment complex with a pool.  I must say it was nice to play in the sun and in the pool on the weekends.
 With these floaties the boys had a blast jumping into the pool and just having a ball.

 When we tried to pull their board shirts off they stopped at their heads because the opening was so tight.  Cael and Emmett thought it was hilarious and Emmett said they looked like Sonic the hedgehog.

 
These next few pictures were from Father's Day morning.



 
More fun at the pool.  We took the packn' play so Wyatt could hang out in the shade and even nap.
 The fearless Emmet jumps from Mark's shoulders.
 Cael would even flip off Mark's shoulders.
 Wyatt had the easy life of floating.
 
More to come....
