Enjoying the Pretty Weather

So on Sunday we totally took advantage of the beautiful weather. Couldn't on Saturday because I was scrapbooking all day with my friends. Thanks to the hubby for watching the kids all day! It was still a little chilly on Sunday but I knew we needed to take advantage of it. Supposed to get snow and ice tomorrow. Ugh! Wyatt wouldn't stand still long enough for any pics so I just got pics of "baby girl".

Oh those baby blues!!! And chubby cheeks!!!


She was digging being outside. She needs to get used to it because we'll be spending ALOT of time outside. Her brother and Daddy LOVE the outdoors!

About that bow.....

Today was Whitney's first day in the baby "eating" table at school. This table seats 4 babies. It was a very surreal moment. Because it seems like yesterday Wyatt was sitting in the same exact spot eating his first cupcake. Time is flying way too fast. Whitney sure loved the new table. She's such a social girl, she is going to love this table.
I haven't really talked much about the differences of Wyatt and Whitney but let me just tell you. Her name should be "Happy" cuz this girl smiles 24/7. She even smiled when she got her first booboo at school. Whitney will smile at ANYONE where Wyatt had to first size you up before he would smile. But when he did he would light up your world.
I cannot wait for Whitney to be able to talk. I think she will annoy the tar out of her brother with "Watcha doing Wyatt? Can I play Wyatt? Will you play dollies with me Wyatt? Wyatt will love every minute of it. He stayed home yesterday with Daddy because he was running a fever. When Whitney and I got home it was time for her to take a nap. Wyatt cried and said he didn't want "baby girl" to take a nap. I asked him why and he said he wanted to play with her. Awwwwww. It took everything in me not to put her to bed and let them play. I love how their relationship is developing into such a sweet sibling love.
Whitney is now 7 months old! What!?! When did that happen? She is sitting up on her own, trying to crawl (mainly goes backward) absolutely LOVES to dance. She doesn't even need music. You can say "Go Whitney, Go Whitney" and she'll start moving her upper body up and down. It's the funniest and cutest thing ever! We're introducing a sippy cup to her this weekend. She is loosing interest in her bottle. She would MUCH rather be playing, dancing or just smiling at people. She is very funny to watch in her jumper. She will make herself jump up and down and then all of a sudden she'll do one big jump and then make herself stop and stand. Then she looks around and has this look of "tada". So cute. Think we have a future gymnast.

Here she is sitting at the big girl table. About that bow......gotta love it. For some reason it doesn't look ridiculous until I see it on her in a picture. It's as big as her head!!! How can she even hold her head up?


Big girl standing up on the table. Had to get a pic of the entire outfit. She looks so stinking cute in her silver shoes and leggings.

Catching Up To Do

Wow. It's been awhile since I've blogged. We have been a busy little family and it took me staying home sick for 4 days to get me to update the blog. So here we go....

Wyatt wanted to get in Whitney's bed while I was taking pictures of the big girl sitting up by herself. Here's the pic I got before he jumped in the bed with her..


He thinks he's so funny.


Just want to warn you before you see the below picture. It will shock you might even scare you. My mom brought a wig over to see if she would like the haircut on her. So....we put it on Whitney.....She thought it was so funny.



My sister and her Fiance came for a late Christmas. Little did they know they would have a little Elf named Wyatt to help them open their presents. Thanks for being great sports guys.

Wade is an avid cyclist. He was testing out his new helmet cam and Wyatt wanted to put his bike helmet on too.

I wanted to take some more pics of Whitney sitting up but couldn't get her to smile. So I told Wyatt to make her smile. AND boy did she! She sure does love her brother.

Does that smile say "I love my brother" or what!?!

David and I took Wyatt to see BARNEY at the NOKIA Theater. This was his first concert like event to go to. We were excited to see how it was going to go and it was GREAT! In fact, we already have tickets to go see Toy Story 3 on Ice in April.

You can't really see his face in this pic because of our crazy new flash (ARgh). But he has a look of shock and awe. Looked like that the whole time. Love the girl standing up behind him. She's having a blast!

Barney and Friends put on a great active show!

Happy New Year!

Wonderful Christmas

Christmas was so relaxing and wonderful this year. Christmas Eve David went shopping with his dad. It's their annual thing that drives me crazy but whatever. The kids and I spent the day hanging out and playing and smelling the wonderful stew that was cooking all day. After dinner the kids opened their presents and had a blast.

Wyatt with his tool box/stool. Too bad it fell apart by the next day. I learned alot about toys this Christmas. Specifically what NOT to buy.

Wyatt took the unwrapping VERY seriously.

He was very excited about this big crate of musical instruments.

I finally got pictures of me with the kids.

Wish I would have thought ahead and put makeup on. Oh well, it's the memories that count and they were AMAZING!. Notice the tv in the background. We have AT&T UVerse and their Santa Tracker was soooo cool. In addition to tracking santa they also had, games to play, music, and movies, etc. Good Job AT&T we enjoyed it!

Whitney was cracking me up opening presents. She is a very "hands on" girl. She knew exactly what she was doing.

My baby girl!

Cheesy family shot. It's really hard to get both kids to smile at the same time. FYI -After this pic I took pictures of David with the kids but....You won't see them posted because his eyes are closed in just about all of them. Probably because the new flash is so powerful it practically blinds you.

The Tree.

Christmas PJ picture. This is Wyatt's idea of holding her up. At least she thinks its funny!

I couldn't help but feel young again getting everyone ready for bed on Christmas Eve. The spirit of the evening was so fun. Wyatt's getting the cookies ready for Santa. FYI- cuz I know you'll notice in the picture, Yes Santa LOVES store bought cookies with m&m's.

Cookies and Milk are ready for Santa. Wyatt was so excited!

Christmas Morning started at 5 am! Wyatt woke up wide awake. I picked him up and took him straight to our bed. I didn't say a word about the presents. Usually if we do this he goes back to sleep. However, this particular morning he did not. He kept sitting up and tossing around. An hour later I hear this sweet little whisper "Momma, presents?". I said do you want to see what Santa brought you? He said very enthusiastically YES! So we had our Santa party at 6 am!

One of his big presents was his Buzz Light Year Bike. This is his first bike and he absolutely loves it. Can't ride it yet but I have a feeling it's only a matter of time before he'll be a pro at it.

Wyatt with his bike.

Christmas Day Part 2

The fun continued Christmas afternoon. Before we went to David's brothers house his parents came over. Wyatt got to open MORE presents.

Wyatt and his Papa playing with the 2 tractors he got.


Whitney was such a good baby on Christmas. She even missed 2 naps that afternoon but you would have never known it. Santa put a Sophie the Giraffe teether in her stocking. She LOVES it! Anybody else notice the bow is as BIG as her head. LOVE IT!


She's sitting up now. We're still on standby next to her, but she's doing really good.

Nana Diana, Wyatt, Whitney, Papa

Diana, Katrina, Charles, Charley

Wyatt's cousins Erin and Emma.

Uncle Chuck teaching Wyatt how to play the guitar.

Santa Baby

I was playing around with the new flash on the camera. And these are the pics. Such cute Santa "babies"!

Big brother had to get in on the action. He's started this totally fake cheese smile. So silly.

Christmas Break

The presents are bought and wrapped. The cookies are baked. The cameras are charged. Let Christmas begin!!!
We made a gingerbread house today. Which was a ton of fun. Wyatt was very meticulous about where he put his pieces. He kept asking "Momma, where this go?" Here's the before shot....



Evidently gingerbread house icing has to set for 15 minutes before you decorate the house. So.....we went outside to rake a.k.a. play in the leaves.
Wyatt was cracking me up. I had my back to him bending down and next thing I know I hear this giggle and he's running up to me and.....throws handfuls of leaves on me and runs away. He was laughing so hard. It was so cute to see how proud he was of himself. So of course I had to go grab my camera and takes some pictures. This picture is so adorable. But a little concerning. He looks a little too excited to throw leaves all over Mommy.



I raked a big pile and he had the best time running and jumping in it.

Back to the gingerbread house.

Final Prouduct....

Wyatt is watching his very special email from Santa. I had no idea 2 year olds got the concept of Santa. But this boy totally gets it. Makes Christmas all the more exciting this year!

Whitney ate her dinner in Wyatt's old high chair for the first time tonight. Wyatt was a little reserved about it but once we put her in he was great. I love how much he loves his little sister and how she looks at him with such adoring eyes.

She looks like she's saying "Ok mom, enough with the pictures. Where's my dinner?"

I day till Christmas! So exciting!!!
