Birthday season has begun...

We have gone all year in Wyatt's class without a birthday of any of his friends. All of their birthdays are from the end of May to the beginning of july. That's alot of birthday parties to attend. Thank goodness not everyone is having a party. However, we are ALL about birthday parties. Especially when they wear my child out and he takes a 3 1/2 hour nap when we get home (just sayin :) ).
This party was for Wyatt's "lifelong" (what? it's the truth) friend Sam. It was held on the playground at the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children. You can reserve an awesome, very large covered pavillion for free on Sundays. At this particular party the family asked for donations to the hospital instead of birthday gifts. How awesome is that! We totally loved the playground. It is completely shaded and there is a large playground and smaller toddler playground. Highly recommend this for a party or just to go play. It's open to the public. Here are some of the pics from our first birthday party of the "season"....

Wyatt and his buddy Sam. They were having a BLAST!! They thought it was the coolest thing to see each other somewhere other than school!


There was alot of running..........


Alot of picture taking aka posing by Whitney.

Snuggling with Daddy. Love me some Whitney snuggles :)

Striking a pose again....

Attempt at getting a picture of both kids sitting down in an adorable kid size bench amongst gorgeous landscaping. RRRRiiiiggggghhhhhtttt. Well, at least my girl was performing.

Lots, and lots and lots of exploring and playing.

What's a party without cake! Evidently this cake was so good Wyatt had to close his eyes to eat it.

Stay tuned for more birthday party adventures....

Sprinkler Fun

Sometimes you just gotta run through the sprinklers for fun.

Before the sprinkler....

After the sprinkler

 

Whitney enjoyed watching him...

 

Love this video

What's that smell????

So here's a funny story......Couple weekends ago we had some friends over for the mavs game. They brought their 2 year old Lola. Wyatt and Lola had a blast. Even let Wyatt stay up later than normal so he could have more play time (okay maybe we were hoping she would wear him out enough he would sleep in the next morning). So we put him to bed around 9 and all is good. Usually (knock on wood) my kids are GREAT at putting themselves to sleep. Give them their blanket, paci (yes Wyatt still has one, hopefully the paci ferry will visit us this month), and turn their music on and their out. H-O-W-E-V-E-R, on this particular night about an hour after he went to "sleep" I hear a somewhat distressed call of "Momma". So I make my way into his room, which is pretty dark, and notice a very distinguished smell. Hmmmm, I thought, why do I smell medicine? I very slowly walk to turn on the light and think this is not going to be good.....I turn to look at Wyatt and bust out laughing. This is what I saw.......




Needless to say, I did what any mother would do.....I ran as fast as I could to get my.....CAMERA. This had to go down on film. While getting my camera I was laughing so hard that our friends had to come see what it was all about. Oh, he was covered in DESITIN. you heard it desitin as in diaper cream, as in glue cream as in GOOD LUCK getting it off cream! I think it took a total of 4 days getting it off. We laughed so hard about this for days. In a million years I would have never guessed he would have done something like this. We asked him why he did this and he said cuz, I wanted to. Silly boy!!! Love him to pieces!!!

P.S. I have no idea why his Buzz lightyear backpack is in his bed with him.

Blastball

Blastball season is coming to an end....Yes the end. It only lasted 4 weeks (Yay for me!). It has been an awesome experience for our entire family. A little taxing when they had 2 or 3 games in one week but we had a couple rain days so that helped. Overall, I love having a little boy who loves playing sports. He played last week without the help of Daddy on the field. That was huge! Made David a little sad but he did great! David helped tonight because they were short handed so Wyatt was happy. He's gotten the concept down of hitting the ball and running to first base and not running after the ball once he hit it........ Now, about being in the outfield waiting for the ball. Not so much. He would rather play with the dirt. Hey, but isn't that what their supposed to do at this age. At least he's ON the field. We are very proud of him and look forward to many more games! Sneeky Kleets team rocks!





When the Sneeky Kleets played the Purple Eaters, aka Ms. Amber's class played Ms. Amy's class, there was a big fan club from the boys school watching. Thanks guys!It made their day to see you cheering them on!!! Only 2 games left and hopefully they'll quit asking everyday for you to come watch them play ;)



Getting a quick batting tip from Coach PePaw.


Look at that focus on that boy's face. Love it!


Running to first base after he hit it out of the park (ok so maybe he really just hit it between 2nd and 3rd base ;). Does he look so proud of himself or what!!!!!










That's my boy!

Love, love, love this picture. Got his game hat on backwards and ready for the ball. Would have been great if he would have actually run after the ball. Oh well, I'll settle for a great picture!

Uh Oh, getting a little talking to about playing in the dirt.

Another great hit!

Great job Wyatt. We are so proud of you!!!

2 of his biggest fans. PawPaw and Nana Dedwylder.

Mother's Day at School with Wyatt

Mother's Day this year was so special because I got to attend my 1st Mother's Day Tea with Wyatt. I can recall SEVERAL years ago wondering if I would EVER get the chance to celebrate being a mother. What an incredible BLESSING and JOY it is to now celebrate Mother's Day with not 1 but 2 beautiful children! God truly granted my heart's desire with 2 of the most amazing children. Ohhhhh how I love them so!!!!

Celebrating Mother's Day at The Sloan School



Wyatt handing me the adorable gifts he made me. He was so proud.


Blake was taking pictures using his mom's iphone. I had never shown Wyatt how to take pictures on my iphone. All it took was another 2 year old showing him how and he went photography crazy. Taking pictures of his buddy Blake. So cute!

.....Still taking pictures.



Taking pictures of Jacob and having so much fun!

I would have posted a picture Wyatt took but we need to fine tune his photography subjects first.

Priceless....

Sad 2 year old, upset that the mower is "broken"..........$ Priceless......

A 2 year old who thinks he can fix the mower.......Still Priceless



Happy 2 year old who "fixed" the mower........Super Priceless!!!

Playdate

Wyatt's teacher Ms. Amber came over today with her cutie patootie Allie, who is 2 months older than Whitney. We made hair bows and played with the kiddos. We had a lot of fun. I'm pretty sure Wyatt was over the top that his teacher was at our house. He was so sweet with Allie. He amazes me everyday how his little heart shows so much love and compassion for others around him. Sure makes me a PROUD mommy! We wanted to get pictures of the girls together and took them outside. Little did we know we would have such perfect models and ended up having a little mini photo session! Such Cuties! Can't wait for them to come back for another play date! This was the VERY 1st picture I took. How perfect are they!?! Allie absolutely, positively LOVED being in the grass. She was crawling super fast all over the yard. Whitney on the other hand just sat there. Pretty sure she'll be my girly girl who doesn't want to get dirty. Wyatt was so precious with the girls.

Such a sweet girl. Allie girl your welcome over anytime!

Toy Story 3 on Ice

Last Saturday we took Wyatt to see Toy Story 3 on Ice. Before we get to that I should tell you how our weekend started. Friday at 12 had to take Wyatt home with a 101.4 fever. Selfishly, I thought, oh no we have toy story 3 tickets - we are going to see this! So took him home gave him Motrin and he slept for 4 hours! That evening his fever got up to 102.6 and he started complaining of his mouth hurting. Totally thought it was strep. Took him to the doctor in the morning and it was not strep just a virus but this virus was causing blisters on his throat (poor baby) he wasn't kidding about his mouth hurting. He stopped running fever Sat am so we gave him Tylenol and later Motrin right before we left. My friend Amy had a brilliant idea to ride the train to the AAC. What a great idea! Until the train got there and we had to sit on the floor. It was so crowded that at the next stop the conductor announced to the awaiting passengers to NOT board the train because it is OVERLOADED and if you do you enter under your own duress. REALLY!!! I went into prayer overdrive, please dear Lord let us get there safely and not be on the news about a train disaster. Luckily we made it there safe and sound. It was a great show and riding the train was great! We will definitely be doing both things again! Wyatt, Lindsey, and Miles patiently waiting for the train.

Wyatt in his seat. He was so excited even though he was sooooo not feeling 100 %. See how his shirt is all nice and clean. I'll explain later.

Mommy and Wyatt. Can't wait for the show to start!

The army men's entrance was awesome. Some of them even came in flying.

Ah. Now to explain the clean shirt. In the picture below you will see traces of nacho cheese. David got us nachos and drinks before the show started and when he came back HE accidentally dumped them all over Wyatt. (Yes honey, YOU did it. Like I told you last night.....Everyone who knows you and everyone who knows me, knows YOU are more prone to weird freak occurrences). If you talk to him about this and he says I DID please just give him the courtesy nod like I'm sure she did David.

Back to Toy Story 3. This was Buzz's entrance. Awesome!

Wyatt's favorite characters....Woody and Buzz.

The Aliens and The Claw

See the Buzz Sword in Wyatt's hand.....YES I AM that mom who buys her children the stupid little event trinkets. I asked Amy if she was going to get Miles anything and she said only if HE asks for it. I thought to myself well crap, that's a good idea. OK self, DO NOT get anything for Wyatt unless he asks. Not five minutes later Wyatt said "Mommy, I want that". Pointing to a little boy in front of us with the sword. YES, I get to buy him something because HE did ask for it!!!!

Had to include this picture. See the smirk on David's face. That's pretty much how he felt about the sword. He is not that DAD who spends money on event "rip offs". Whatever. Life's too short.

Woody flying on his kite to get out of Sunnyside DayCare.

Couple minutes before the show was over we scrambled out to get a seat on the train. Lucky us we all got seats. Wyatt had so much fun looking out the window.
