HOT summer fun

This past weekend we decided to take Sawyer to Silver Dollar City for a little family fun time. It was sooooo HOT!!! The heat sure didn't slow him down though! He wanted to ride every ride in the park. I think his favorite was Fire in the Hole. We were quite impressed. He has definitely become more brave over these past couple of months. Last year at this time you wouldn't have gotten him on anything but the toddler rides, not even the train, but things have changed. He was even sad that he couldn't ride the big coasters with dad. As for this pregnant momma, I just did a lot of sitting, waiting, sweating, and taking pictures. All in all it was a super fun day for our little brave boy.

The Trophy

He did it! Sawyer successfully finished up his first season of tee ball (well, as successful as a 3 year old can be at tee ball). It was fun, but the best part was the trophy that he got at the end. Too bad he thinks it is just another action figure..."baseball guy" to the rescue!

Making Strides

Wow, Sawyer made great strides this weekend! Just a couple months ago while we were in Disneyworld we discovered that Sawyer was terrified of fireworks. I am talking panic/meltdown/true fear! But this weekend he overcame his fear and was actually holding sparklers and asking for more! Yay Sawyer!

Not only that, but he went from clinging to my neck and not getting past his waist in a swimming pool without screaming to swimming all on his own with just arm floaties on. It was quite a weekend and we are very proud of our big boy! :)

Here is proof of both!

The first "at bat"

Here it is, Sawyer's first "at bat" at his first Tee Ball game. Hmmm, maybe we will play this at his Hall of Fame induction one day, ha ha! :)

Our little mover and shaker

We have learned recently that Sawyer has quite the dancing ability. Check out some of these moves! He doesn't even need good music, in this video he is dancing to the weather channel! :)

Wilks x 3 is becoming 4!

Yay yay yay! We are so excited!!!!! Sawyer is going to be a big brother!!

If you have any ideas on a new blog name let me know. I am taking suggestions :)

Sports...It Begins

Well, it is finally here...the day Sawyer begins to play organized sports. Yep, today is his first official sports practice ever and Chris could not be more excited. I am pretty sure he has been waiting for this day since we found out we were pregnant several years ago. We are starting his sports career with Biddy Baseball (aka, T-Ball). It should be entertaining! He is definitely the youngest and SMALLEST on the team, in fact his jersey might fit him like a dress, but it will be fun! Pictures to come...
