My Baby Is 4!

It seems like yesterday, that we brought little Wyatt home from the hospital, and now he is 4 years old. I can't believe that my baby is 4. Wyatt is such a blessing to have in our home. He is a very kind and sweet boy. Just to show how sweet he is, last night we went to the mall playground, where they have all sorts of things to climb and play on. We noticed Wyatt pulling on this little boys arms, and thought that they were arguing over the toy. When Jimmy went over, he realized that the little boy couldn't get up on the block, and Wyatt was trying to help him up. I was very proud.
I asked him a few months ago, what he wanted to do for his birthday party. Last year we had it at Mcdonalds, and I thought he would say that or Chucky Cheese, but he said "I want to have it at our house, and I want a dinosaur party". I had so much fun putting it together. We played Pin The Tail On the Dinosaur, Musical Dinosaurs, had a dinosaur pinata, and the hit of the party were these fossils that we made. I found a recipie online for fossils, and I got these dinosaur skeletons. I put the dough on the outside and let them dry. We gave each kid a tool and paintbrush, and told them that they were paleontologists, and they got to break the fossil away and take home the little skeletons. Then Wyatt helped me make paper mache ballons that we painted like eggs, and put little dinosaur toys in for their goodie bags. I even attempted to make a dinosaur cake. It turned out better than I thought it would. Overall the day was a success. Happy birthday little buddy!!!

Halloween

Halloween was so much fun. Wyatt told me that this year he wanted to be a shark or a whale. I looked and looked and finally found this shark costume. He was so excited and told everybody he was a great white shark. I was a little worried that McKartnee would not wear the princess costume. My friend gave me this cute little dress, so I just got the fairy wings, and the tiarra, but every time that I tried the dress on her, she would say "NO, off off, no pretty princess" I had Wyatt's old tiger costume for back up, but when she saw Wyatt and Walker dressed up, she was ok with wearing it. I thought Walker's little lion costume was too cute. The kids had alot of fun, and got TONS of candy. I will probably end up throwing half of it away. With a church party, Wyatt's school party, and then trick or treating we got more than our share.

Wyatt's First Father and Son's

Wyatt had a busy weekend, not only did he get to go the the Wizzards game, he also went to his first father and son's outing. There is a great scout camp about an hour away. They have tents and cots already set up, so you don't have to bring your own. They had a pirate ship Wyatt loved playing on, underground tunnels that were set up to look like they were going down into the sewer, a shooting range, and he even went snipe hunting for the first time. He is still talking about how much fun he had.
While the boys were out playing McKartnee, Walker and I had a fun weekend in. We went shopping, ran errands, watched a movie and ate popcorn.

Wizzards Game

Jimmy got front row tickets to a preseason wizzards game. They had a great time. Jimmy loves Gilbert Arenas, so before the game, he thought of a way to catch his attention. He took his Halo 3 game to see if Gilbert would sign it (I guess gilbert stayed up all night playing it when it first came out), and then we had a HUGE pair of granny underwear we held onto for a gag gift. Jimmy took the underwear and wrote "My grandma loves Gilbert" He got his attention during the game,and asked him if he would sign the game. Since it was a preseason game gilbert wasn't too serious. He sent his towel boy over to get the game, and Jimmy slipped the underwear into the towel with it. When he opened the towel and pulled out the underwear, he had a good laugh. Our friend is a reporter for the wizzards, and when Jimmy told him the story, he posted it to his blog. Check it out, it is a pretty funny story.

UPDATE:
Gilbert mentioned the story in his own blog on NBA.com! Look under his Oct. 20 Preseason Basketball Blog under Funny Story.

Sweet Little Walker

 
 
 

Walker is doing great. He is getting so big. I took him in for his two month appointment and he is already eleven pounds. I remember with Wyatt being anxios for him to grow and to have all of the firsts, and now that I realize how fast it goes, I just want Walker to stay little. He is a very happy baby. He is always smiling and jabbering. He has brought such a sweet spirit into our home. I am glad that Heavenly Father knew we ready for him, before we did.

We have hit the two's

 

 

 

How can something so cute be so sassy? McKartnee has always been so good natured. She was almost always happy. WAS is the key word. She is still happy most of the time, but when she doesnn't get her way, WATCH OUT!! We have hit the tantrums. When I tell her no, she will lay down kicking and screaming, and start hitting her head on the floor. Her favorite words are NO and MINE. I am glad to know this is a phase she will grow out of. It's a good thing she is so darn cute. On a happier note, she is constantly making us laugh. She has the funniest little personality. It makes up for the two's.
