Waking Sage

Here's Sage waking up from his afternoon nap, soooooo cute and cuddly =) Having trouble with video...hopefully it'll come soon.

Santa Barbara Mission

We decided to play tourist and visit the Santa Barbara Mission on Sunday, we have been to it many times but never actually gone inside.  We had a great time but I must say that our favorite part was watching Sage strut around on the grass lawn out front, and then, as he always does...finds the sprinkler and gets drenched.

Playing in the leaves

Okay, so I know it's been FOREVER since I have posted any new pictures - sorry!  In August we spent a wonderful time visiting family in Michigan and going to family camp at Cedar.  I would love to show you photos from the trip but there are just so many and trying to find time to sort through them all is what's been keeping me from getting a new post up.  So, I decided to skip the vacation photos and just get some recent pics up. =)  Today Dan took some time off work in the afternoon and we ended up going to the beach and then the park...oh what a marvelous day =)

Oh how we love the beach =)

Pasta!

Sage

My sweet Sage, I love that: you always make people smile wherever we go, you crawl like a peg leg pirate and walk as if you're side-stepping out on a plank, you love to dance anytime you hear music, you are crazy about guitars, strawberries make you go crazy - you love them so much, you love being chased up the stairs, you sleep on your tummy all curled up like a frog, you love playing hide and go seek, you are fascinated with birds, you are obsessed with water, when sitting in your car seat you love to laugh at nothing at all, which of course makes me laugh and then we are laughing together and can't stop, you are my precious and beloved son, thank you Jesus for my son...I love you buddy!

Sage is one!

Happy Birthday Sage!  We had a blast celebrating Sage today, he loved all the attention and excitement.  We are so grateful for this past year of Sage's life and we so look forward to all the adventures still to come.  

Experiencing cake for the first time

Sage was already so tired by the time we got around to eating cake that the ever-anticipated "first cake moment" was quite subdued.  He played with his cake for quite awhile before he decided to taste it, but once he did there was no turning back.

Sage's new ride

Sage got a new car (thanks for helping with this Grandma Bos!) for his birthday.  Here's his first cruise around town

Wobbly but walking

Here's Sage showing off his fancy footwork.  He pretty much prefers walking over crawling these days, unless he wants to go really fast - then it's back to the peg leg pirate crawl.  It's only a matter of time till he's running all over the place...ready...set...GO! =)
