Wyatt's First Birthday!

Wow, I just realized it has been over a month since I posted anything. I've been so crazy busy with the boys and with work. So to make up for it, here are a ton of photos from Wyatt's first birthday -- two parties worth!

Wednesday was his first birthday so we had a quiet celebration at home with Grandma Christy. He looks so excited to be one, doesn't he?

Here are his cakes, one for him to smash and one for the rest of us. Of course, I wasn't about to give him the whole cake to smash and eat, so I cut it in half.

Little did he know what he was about to get. Sweet deliciousness!

I finally have a child that knows what to do with his birthday cake! Both Jack and Ethan had to have their cake fed to them, but Wyatt knew exactly what to do!

Wyatt really enjoyed his new toy car. You can roll it on the floor and make it zoom, but it's way more fun to pick it up and carry it instead!!

Nana and Granddad showed up on Thursday and with them came Nana's iPod with games! At first Ethan just enjoyed watching Jack play but then he wanted to play himself. Look at that smile!

Then on Saturday we had party #2, with Nana, Granddad and our good friends from up the street. Both Ethan and Wyatt loved the cake and Wyatt had so much fun he ended up in the bathtub again!

Present time!

Jack shows him how to do it!

Jason hated having to wait, but I made him stick it out for a year, as I did with all the boys. But today Jason finally got his wish to cut Wyatt's hair. And it looks so cute! He's now a little boy.

He didn't even cry! I think he fussed once but that was about it. What do you think? He looks just like his brothers.

Having a Great Visit with Aunt Delly

I know it's been a VERY long time since I've last posted, but it's hard when you have company in town. Plus, I've been especially exhausted this past week. Jack get's so excited when we have visitors that he gets even crazier than normal! September should be fun when we have Daddy, Granny and Grandma in town. I've been continuously changing up our great room bookshelves, so I thought I would post a photo for you to see. If anyone has more ideas on how to make it look better, let me know. These are some pictures of Jack at gymnastics. He has gotten so much better at this club. They do a lot more strengthening stuff than the old place. Plus they have an older boys class so they don't just teach girly stuff at this age. It's been fun to see him do so well. Of course, a lot of time he still goofs around, trying to fall off stuff, but for the most part he's pretty good at staying on task. Last week they did the monkey bars and he LOVED it and was...

The Olympics

Wow, I can't believe it's been so long since I've last posted a message. I guess it's been due to a combination of being really busy and not having much to say! Is that a contradiction? We've been letting Jack stay up late since Friday so that he could enjoy the Olympics. He really enjoyed the opening ceremony and has been in awe of the gymnastics. We went to a BBQ on Sunday night and just as we were getting ready to leave they put the ladies gymnastics on and all the kids say and watched. We had to drag Jack away. In other news, we're getting ready to do a really crazy thing. After only two months of having no debt and house payment, we're putting in an offer on a new home! We really had no plans to do this, but when we went to visit our friends on Sunday, we decided to drive around and look at the houses there. We had looked in there back before Ethan was born and fell in love with the place so we thought we'd just take a look and see how much i...

Busy week

It's been a busy week with little things here and there, which is getting me ready for the busy summer ahead of us with gymnastics, swimming and all Ethan's therapies. Whew, I need a break from just thinking about it. We did have a nice walk down to our community playground this afternoon. Ethan couldn't stop laughing on the swings and the slide (he couldn't get enough of the slide) and Jack made a little friend! Great afternoon. Speaking of therapies, Ethan starts his occupational therapy next week and I'm so excited. We got the therapy notes back from his evaluation and, while I'm not positive on how I'm reading it, the scores say from poor to very poor. We have been very lucky that Ethan hasn't had any medical issues and so far he seems to be doing well with responding to his therapies, so I really want to make sure he has the best of everything. Today has just made me a little blue thinking about Ethan not being 100% of what other kids are and ...
