Blast Ball!

Wyatt had his first blast ball practice tonight with his teammates the "Sneaky Kleets". For those of you who don't know blast ball is so stinking cute! It's really the level before T-Ball. It's basically just teaching them the concept of baseball. After they hit the ball off the T they run to first base and jump on it and it "HONKS"! After that, they stand between what would be 2nd and 3rd base to wait and catch (really chase) the next batter's ball. Wyatt had alot of fun. Which I'm sure had alot to do with the fact that one of his lifelong friends (Jacob) is on the team. He caught on quick on hitting the ball and chasing after the ball. Got to throw it a couple times too. I clearly think we have an athlete........had to stop typing for a second. Got a call from the Texas Rangers. Can you tell I'm a proud baseball Momma! Wyatt running to 1st base. Look at that face! He's so proud of himself. Jacob and Wyatt sizing up the next batter.

Happy Baseball Boy!

He looks like he's ready to steal a base. Little does he know he's NOT on a base.

I think Wyatt is trying to trade his glove for Jacob's bat so he can go hit!

The other morning at 2 am:
David: (barrels into the bedroom where his amazing wife is SOUND asleep): "Where's the camera"
Amazing Wife (that would me!): "The what?"
David: "The camera"
Me: "It's 2 o'clock in the morning. WHAT in the world do you need the camera for?"
David: "There's a racoon on top of the house and he's eating our house!"
Me: "Seriously? I gotta see this"
We then find the camera and sleepy head me goes outside to investigate such silliness.

Sure enough on top of the house by the skylight there seems to be a very large racoon picking at what looks like to be the sealing around our skylight. I tell David "racoons don't eat houses, maybe he drug something up there." Oh gross, now there's a racoon and who knows what else up there. After more discussion the events later unfold to be an episode from the animal version of candid camera. David takes pictures of the racoon in hopes the gigantic, lighting bolt simulator flash will scare the racoon off. Nope! He poses for the camera instead.

Then David gets the brilliant idea to throw sticks at him (no worries the sticks never hit him). Nope.

David makes somekind of weird animal noise called "squalling". We're making progress because he comes down to the patio roof line. Then stops and sits.

Hmmmm. What to do now. I know. The previous owners left a grocery bag full of marbles and a slingshot. Now I know why. At this point in the morning it's 3 am and the stupid racoon is mocking us so you bet I had the idea to sling marbles close to him to get him off my roof so I could go back to bed. Well, the slingshot was really old and broke so we threw marbles at him. Stupid racoon was trying to CATCH the marbles. I think he thought it was food! At this point I am very, very MAD. So I tell David good luck and good NIGHT! I get snuggled back in bed when what do I hear outside but a raging war of water hose vs. racoon. Guess who won.....a very wet and mad racoon! Stupid thing never came off the roof. Haven't seen him since though! We won, we won!!!


Say cheese!



We went out to eat with David's dad on Thursday. It's so much easier to go out to eat now that Whitney can sit in the high chair. It will be even better when she can eat table food. She's just now getting her first tooth and it's taking FOREVER!

These pics are great! They were taken right before I had a major allergic reaction to something that got on my hands then I touched my eye. My eye was swollen shut within minutes. Benadryl didn't work so Friday am had to go to the doctor to get a shot! We must have a running theme in our family to having allergic reactions.

Can you tell how much she has him wrapped around her little finger. Watch out David this is just the beginning.

Evidently this is what Wyatt thought he needed to wear on the way to take his sister to the doctor yesterday. Safety goggles and binoculars! Only he can pull that off!

After we got back from the doctor for my allergic reaction we got a call from the school saying Whitney has cried all morning (which she never crys) and was running a 101.7 fever. So we got back in the car picked the kids up and took them both to the doctor. Wyatt was working on a yucky nose all week so we decided to have him looked at too. Whitney has a virus with a bad sore throat and Wyatt has a sinus infection. $90 in copays in one day. Crazy stuff but so grateful it's just minor illnesses and everyone will be better soon!

February Catch Up

Can't believe it's been a month since my last blog...Oh wait, yes I can I have 2 babies! Well, Wyatt doesn't think he's a baby but he will always be my baby :). So let's get started.

2 weeks after Whitney finished her antibiotic amoxicillin from her double ear infection she broke out in this horrible rash. For the life of me I couldn't figure out what it was from. We hadn't changed any soaps or detergents at home and she wasn't eating anything new or different. Within 24 hours the rash got worse. She didn't seem to be in any discomfort despite how bad it looked. She wasn't running a fever and she wasn't scratching it. We decided to go ahead and take her to the dr. As soon as the dr opened the door she said "She's allergic to penicillin."Evidently you can have an allergic reaction up to 3 weeks AFTER you've taken medicine. I questioned the doctor heavily on this because I wasn't exactly convinced about it. But at the end of the day I couldn't imagine it being anything else but the reaction. So we kept her on Benadryl for a couple days and it went away. But when Whitney gets asked for the rest of her life are you allergic to any medicine, she'll have to say yes penicillin.

She is officially crawling now! No more putting off the deep clean(at a little persons level) of the house. The time is NOW!!!

David was messing around with the camera and actually got Wyatt to stop and pose for a second in this picture. I was impressed because it was a beautiful day and we were making the best of it.

Could she BE any CUTER?!?!?! Yes I cropped myself out of this picture.

She loves watching her brother play outside. I think she could sit in the stroller for hours watching him.

We love this cutie patootie to pieces!!!!
