Snow, Snow, Snow!!!

Wyatt had his first true experience of playing in the snow yesterday....he is definitely a little boy who has the same passions as his daddy! We got him all bundled up with lots of layers...


He loved it all so much, even eating it!


By the time we came inside he threw a little fit because he couldn't go back out!!! What a difference a year can make:) His first experience wasn't quite so fun:)

A Little Family Christmas:)

Since we are going to be away from home for Christmas we decided to celebrate early with just our little family this year:) Wyatt and I had fun baking and cooking all day making yummy crusted chicken and broccoli mashed potatoes. We also made chocolate graham crackers and lemon bars for dessert. Too bad he slept through dinner and then decided he wanted nothing to do with potatoes and chicken!!

Jonny built a fire in the fireplace and we read the Christmas story out of Wyatt's bible

Of all the toys that he got...this crayon was his favorite! He likes to walk around and act like he is vacuuming! He even makes a humming noise to go along with it!

Since dinner was a failure for him his second choice of the night was a banana...He opens nice and wide for one of his favorite foods:)

Our little piggy!!:)

After Wyatt went to bed we enjoyed a quiet night in front of the fire and playing Phase 10...one of Jonny's gifts:) I am so looking forward to all our travels this holiday season and seeing family from both sides. I especially can't wait to see Wyatt with his cousins and aunts and uncles. He is gonna love it! So are we!!!:)

Free at Last!

We went from this....

To this....

To this....

To this....

And finally to this!!!!!

Wyatt is finally healed and ready to just be a little boy without the silly encumbrance of a cast or boot!! I think Mommy and Daddy are happier than him because that just means that changing diapers and clothes are a lot easier now:) And it is off just in time for the holidays! He wants to be able to keep up with all his cousins:)

Birthdays and Christmas Trees....

Jonny's birthday was the 3rd so we decided what better way to celebrate then homemade hot wings and red velvet cake! Then a little trip in the not so nice snowy weather and super slippery roads to get our Christmas tree!
Wy was such a little trooper all marshmellowed up and frozen nosed cold:)

Our trip was unsuccessful that night...but the cake was good:)

We decided to go out the next day and finish our tree shopping and get it all set up! Wy really enjoyed taking out all the decorations then pushing the box around:)

He was such a good helper with Daddy..."Not quite straight enough Daddy, a little more to the right."

Yay for the finished product and making sweet memories with our little family!

That big black boot will be gone soon!! We go in on the 15th for his finally x-ray and hopefully that will be the end of that thing for good!

Thanksgiving!

We spent Thanksgiving in St. Louis this year and had such a great time with family!! It was so nice to not have a schedule to work around and just be able to do whatever whenever:) I even had my first opportunity to make a turkey and it turned out!! Wyatt also got to enjoy some super fun cousin time:)


Koby finding Wy's belly button:)

Lots of babies under one roof!

We even took some time to try and get a family photo

Next year our family photo will have one more member!! We are so excited to meet this little boy! I'm in my nesting mode now and just want to hold him and use all the things we have for him already:)
