Are you proud to be a Pirate? Yes We Are!

The Pirates have started out the season with a bang! They are 3 and 1 after Fridays stomping of Marshfield! The 1 loss was a hard one, but the team bounced back and came back ready to win the next week. We are excited to see what they can do for the rest of the season!

Sawyer has enjoyed the games more than we thought he would. He LOVES cheering and seeing his PaPa on the field after the game!

UPDATE!!!

Wow, it has been over a month since my last post! Life has been crazy busy in Wilks world, but it is starting to slow down now, thank goodness! This past month has been full of a lot of working, playing, and football games. Sawyer loves going to his PaPa's football games on Friday nights. He cheers through the entire game! He shakes the cowbell and clacker as well as anyone else in the stands! He is running around non stop and getting into anything and everything. His personality just gets more defined daily and there is never a day that goes by that he doesn't do something to make us laugh and smile. He is truly a joy!
On the other hand, he has starting throwing small temper tantrums lately which shows us that the "terrible twos" are right around the corner! His first one happened last week at Chris's softball game. He wanted to play with someone's baseball bat and I wouldn't let him because it wasn't ours. He threw himself down and started screaming and kicking. I literally carried him kicking and screaming all the way to the car! His daddy had to have a little talk with him to get him to calm down and go to bed that night. That was definitely not our favorite night, but we got through it and all learned from the experience. Thankfully, these tantrums are few and far between and most of the time he is simply a healthy and happy little boy!
Sawyer is growing tall and learning so many new tricks. He is talking a lot, but we just don't always understand what he is saying! All this to say, life is good at the Wilks household! We are excited about a great start to the Pirate football season and are looking forward to a great fall in Branson.

Our big boy

I don't know why, but this picture seems to make Sawyer look so big! We went to Sams last weekend to get dog food and he decided he wanted to climb up and sit on top of the food. He was very proud of himself. It is all these fun little times in life that make me feel so blessed!

This next picture was just funny. We were driving to Springfield and Sawyer fell asleep snuggling with his sippee cup. It was really cute!

MESSY!

Sawyer has discovered that ketchup is food's favorite companion! He wants to dip anything and everything in ketchup. Here's the problem, when you give him ketchup he treats it like finger paint so you have to be careful where you are when he eats it. Wow, he really is messy!

Water is so fun!

In the last couple of weeks Sawyer has gotten to experience his first trip to the rec plex pool and his first trip out on the lake. He had a blast both times! He loved riding in the boat and playing in the water fountains at the rec plex. Hopefully we can go a couple more times before summer is over! (the funniest thing about these pictures is that the swim trunks he is wearing are size 0-3 months, yep, he is just a little guy!)

Cookie?

We have a sweet tooth on our hands! Sawyer's new favorite word is cookie. Every morning when I get him out of bed he says, "cookie?" and points to the pantry. Uh oh, this could be bad! (but it is pretty cute) lol

Playing with Papa

Apparently Sawyer thinks his papa is pretty funny. A couple of weekends ago we made a trip to Arkansas and Sawyer and Papa had a lot of fun in the car. Sawyer gets a kick out of saying Papa's name and watching his reaction. They also like to do the robot dance together. Too bad I didn't get my dad's version on video. It is quite hilarious!
