Birthday at The Ballpark!

Hah! I'm back to blogging and it hasn't been 2 months like I thought it was going to be.

For Wyatt's Birthday we were treated (thanks Charley) to a trip to the Ballpark to see the BEST baseball team play. We had a blast!!! We parked in Lincoln Square and rode the bus over. WHICH I highly recommend. Wyatt loved riding the big bus. The picture is above. Blogger wouldn't let me start typing until below the pic.

These were our seats. They were great!

We got there early for pictures and for his first Ballpark hot dog. He loved it! (and so did I)

Cute boy + Super cute mom + "drunk" eyed looking dad = our family picture!

David has this crazy thing where he doesn't have normal eyes for pictures. He always looks like he's had a few. Makes me crazy, but I still love the pic.

National Basketball Maverick Playing Champion DIRK threw out the first pitch. And yes he threw it via a basketball. Loved it and the crowd was going nuts!!!

Hmmmmm. My favorite view of the game. What? Josh is a "great" player!

Look who graced us with their presence at the game. Is that random or what?

Where was Whitney you ask....At home being super cute with her Nana B!

Wyatt absolutely loved the game! We stayed for the entire thing. Even stayed for the fireworks show afterwards. Which Rocked!!!

So he did pretty good up until a certain point and we had to take a little trip to the gift shop! I'm a sucker for gift shops anywhere we go, so I was more than happy to take him. He got a little notepad and crayons. Everytime there was a big play he "wrote" it down. Have no idea where he got this idea from, but it was adorable. He took this job very seriously.

Ok, so these are some of my absolute favorite pictures from the game. Wyatt got very "INTO" this game. Anytime we cheered, he cheered. I love the look on Charley's face (Wyatt's pawpaw) watching Wyatt's excitement. I think we had more fun watching Wyatt's enthusiasm, than the game.

Love David's expression in this picture.

And this is my precious birthday 3 year old towards the end of the game. He did awesome. Was so patient, excited, well mannered, and so much fun. Never once did he ask to go home.

We had so much fun at the game. Thanks again Charley! Can't wait to take him again when the weather cools off.

No.....I haven't forgotten about blogging.

No.... I haven't forgotten about blogging. I think about it daily. Scratch that...the thought of it ANNOYS me daily. But I have recently added an entire mound of things onto my plate that are taking alot of my time. Before I get into that - let me fill you in on our adventures.....

The day after Wyatt and Whitney had their birthday pictures taken I buzzed Wyatt's hair off. I was a little nervous, but thought how hard can this be.....

Don't think he's feeling good about this.

I think I did pretty good. Only bad thing is I have to do it evey 2 weeks because his hair grows so fast!

My good friend Lizz (a.k.a. tutu birthday girl in the middle of the pic) forced, I mean convinced me to do a firefly 5K "run" on her birthday. I thought sure this is what I need to make me get back into working out. Yea....that idea worked for the first week and then my kids took turns being sick, then I got sick, and then BAM it was time for the race. This was my first 5 K and my last 5K I will ever do in the summertime. In fact, I'm very thrilled with the fact that I'm still alive and posting this today (all be it's 2 month's late). Because I thought I was going to D.I.E. I couldn't breath, walk, talk nothing. All I could think about the entire time was "I'm going to kill Lizz!" So, with all that I will say, I will be doing this race again (because they moved it to the month of October). The concept of the run was great. Everyone was decked out in head to toe in very creative "light up" ways. The best part of the race was going to Mi Cocinas afterwards! I think we should make that a tradition for sure! So we'll be doing this race again in the near future and if you want to RUN a.k.a. walk really, really fast with me, let me know. I'd love for you to join me!

Here we are ready to run. Boy do we look stoked or what. Little did I know how much I would hate this run!

This is after the run. Thank goodness you can't smell the picture. This was the most humid night ever and there was a stink everywhere!

This was really cool. After the race these dancers put on a little show.

Birthday party pool time. Our first pool adventure of the summer was a birthday party for one of Wyatt's classmates. We had a blast!

Whitney loved "swimming" around in Allie's ladybug floaty. Thanks Allie!

Karley's birthday party was on Wyatt's actual birthday. Little did we know they had a little surprise for him. After she opened all of her presents they had 2 presents for Wyatt. I almost cried. No kidding, I really did. How sweet of them to think of my precious baby on their special day.

They couldn't have picked better presents to give him. The boy LOVES trucks!

So this is part 1, maybe in another 2 months I'll get you part 2.

Talking to my Dad

Sometimes you just gotta call your daddy....

 

The video below cracks me up. Wyatt is having a pretend conversation with his daddy. But he doesn't want me to film him, so he keeps directing me to "baby girl". So cute.

 

Our Birthday Blessings

June is a very special month in our household. We have 2 beatiful bundles of joy celebrating their birthdays. Whitney will be turning an unbelivable age of 1 and Wyatt is turning the big boy age of 3. NO, IT JUST CAN'T BE!!!!
For all of you who constantly tell other parents "They grow up so fast, enjoy them while their young". THANK YOU!!! I have listened to every bit of advice given to me about becoming a parent and that is TRULY the BEST advice I have heard. I enjoy absolutely EVERYTHING about my children.

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.
