Sawyer, Finn, and the like

So for those of you who know me, you know I love those "unique, yet adorable" names for kids. Unfortunately, my husband just rolls his eyes when I mention them, and we have to meet in the middle with the cute and trendy names (hence Brayden, Landon, and Gavin).

While overlooking the river the other day, I realized that if it were up to me and my baby name list, these two little toeheads would be named Sawyer and Finn.

Quite fitting for the photo, I must say. :)

Tommy Pickles

I've been told by several people now that Gavin looks like Tommy Pickles from the Rugrats.

I have no idea what they are talking about. :)

Splish Splash

We spent another day at Festival Park. LOVE it there! Last year, all Gavin could do was sit in the stroller and watch, this year, we added another water baby to the clan! No better way to spend an afternoon than watching my boys gleefully running through the water. I love summer!

Bad Guys Beware

Bad Guys Beware!!!

Sir Gavin is here to protect our family. No need to fear!

Window Watching

Hey there, Gavin!

Whatcha doin' big boy?

You silly! Get down from there!

Oh, little Gav.... you are getting more adorable each day.

Who Doesn't Love Summer??

So yeah, it's been over a month since I've updated my blog. After a couple 'friendly reminders' from some friends and family, I've decided to post some old pictures, since I haven't taken a new photo for over a month!! However, some new pictures are sure to come, as our new location (Judson University), is absolutely picture perfect this time of year! With the abundance of rain these last few days, we haven't spent much time outside, but hopefully the next few days will provide some photo opportunities so we can show off our new place! Enjoy these 'blast from the past' photos... celebrate summertime!!

Spontaneous

Spontaneous cuddle sessions with Daddy are always the cutest.

Angel in the Outfield

Brayden started Little League this spring. He's loved the sport of baseball since he could walk, and finally reached the age where he could be eligible to play. My dad signed on to be Brayden's coach, and he is truly having a great time learning to play. They even pitch to the kids instead of having them hit off of a tee, which is a cool way to introduce them to the way the game is really played.

Probably one of my favorite things was to watch the kids try to field the ball. They are so young that they have difficulty remembering where to throw the ball to make an out. One kid even threw the ball to an unsuspecting member of his team, hitting him in the back. The kid didn't even turn around. He was too busy watching the other team run around the bases! Too cute.

Enjoy these pictures courtesy of my brother Corey (coreybienert.blogspot.com), since me and Ronnie were too busy video taping and wrangling the two other wanna-be Little Leaguers (Landon and Gavin) to take photos ourselves. :)

Change

So, we are in for a few changes in the Follett home. First of all, I mentioned that Ronnie got a new job. Thank you Awesome God for opening that for us! Our next step was finding someone to rent our home... well, thanks again to a God who always figures out details, and a renter practically fell into our laps. Now, they want to be in our home by May 15th... yes, as in, 3 weeks from now. Yikes!! So.... now we are starting a new job, embarking on being landlords for the first time, trying to figure out a time to homeschool Brayden, packing up the house, still trying to get Landon fully potty trained, taking Brayden back and forth to Little League games and practices (which I still need to blog about), and oh yeah, did I mention that I'm directing CYT's summer musical this summer???? Whew! What a plate full. Ronnie and I went to bed last night with our heads spinning. Ronnie asked, "When do you think life might slow down?" I answered, "June?" I think I want to change my answer to "20 years from now". Hahahaha. But, regardless of the busyness, I cannot think of anything more exciting than to see God working in our lives firsthand.

So, all that to say, here are some pictures from Easter. Just about a month later. :)
