Sawyer's second boat ride

On Monday afternoon we were invited to go boating at Perch Lake with some good friends, the Easingwoods. Sawyer had been on their boat last summer, but was only about a month old. She wasn't too sure about the boat, so we got to cuddle for the first 3 hours and then she was ready to play...just as we were getting ready to leave. 

Carissa and Sawyer. Sawyer had her first taste of Salt and Vinegar Crispers. She LOVED them.

Cannonball!

Finally enjoying the great outdoors without her blanket!! 

She loved getting 'thrown overboard'

Lloyd Zoo

Matt and Sarah came out for a visit (well mostly for Dan and Hailey's wedding), but we like to think they came to visit us as well. We thought that it would be fun to head to the Lloyd Petting Zoo as a post-birthday celebration for Sawyer. We were in for such a surprise. None of us had ever been there and it was amazing!

Meeting Ryder Paul Parkinson

Sawyer's newest cousin was born on June 6th. Correna and Ryder are doing fantastic!! We couldn't wait to see them. Well mostly we couldn't wait to see Ryder. Morgan came with us one day as he is still off of work. 

He's so light and small. I can't believe Sawyer was once that size.

Uncle Morgan enjoying his new nephew.

Even Sawyer got to hold Ryder!!
