Check out all of the family events that Sawyer has been a part of!
It all started began with a visit to Grandma Jean and Papa Don’s house in Wisconsin where the boys were introduced to their first Nerf guns. From that moment on they were hooked!

It was my last official day off of work for my Christmas holiday break, and we wanted to spend it hanging out as a family.
