Halloween 2011

2011-10-30T18:40:00.000-07:00

So fast forward 2 years and one more child!! I'm finally updating the blog!! We are very excited about Halloween this year being here in VA, we actually get to wear warm costumes~so Wyatt is going as The Dragon and we (the parents) are going as The Vikings and our little Grace is our little Dragon Fruit. We are enjoying the fall weather by playing in the leaves and making s'mores on the back deck. We took the kids to the local Pumpkin Patch for a fun filled day of "jumping, watching a pig race, zip line rides, cannon blasting, rocket making and super fast slides" lets just say Wyatt was finally wiped out. That's about all we've been up to for the past 2 years, HA! Just kidding, I am going to try to keep this updated from now and I will be posting some pics to try to fill in the last year or so.

Halloween 2009

2009-11-01T12:06:00.000-08:00

Just wanted to share a couple pictures from our Halloween. We were able to take Wyatt to the pumpkin patch this year and actually carve some pumpkins too! We learned the hard way here in Hawaii not to carve too early, we carved ours on Wednesday night and by Friday they were already rotted out and full of bugs, YUCK! All that hard work and rotten by Halloween night, oh well. So this year Wyatt went as "Max" from the book "Where the Wild Things Are" It's his favorite book right now so he was very excited to be MAX and have a wolf tail. He had a blast wearing his costume. We took him to a few friends to trick or treat and then we came back here to hand out candy, which he helped of course. And then he got to go to our neighbor's and play on their real life Thomas train which made his night complete!! Hope everyone else had a fun and safe Halloween night!!

Daddy's Home!

2009-08-22T22:23:00.000-07:00

After a long 7 month deployment Kelly is finally back home in Hawaii with us. Wyatt was so excited to see his daddy, didn't take but two seconds for him to be attached to his hip. Seeing the two of them together is just amazing. We've been hanging out at home mostly spending some quality family time together. We did get a chance to go fly Wyatt's kite the other day, he just loved it. Mostly when it was on the ground because then he could grab it, he's so funny! So here are some pics from the homecoming and kite flying the other day. Enjoy!!

No Doubt!

2009-08-12T13:51:00.000-07:00

So last night my friend Katie and I went to see No Doubt and they rocked the house, as always! We got a sitter and hit the town, just two "young moms" out on the town for a night, it was awesome!! And I must say Gwen's energy is amazing, can I have some?? I'll take her abs too but that would require me to work out, hmmm. Anyways here are some pictures from the nose-bleeds, not bad huh?

Playtime!

2009-05-03T19:45:00.000-07:00

So Wyatt and I are finally starting to feel better! He finally got to go outside and play yesterday and boy did he need to. The poor kid has been cooped up in the house for a week straight. We had a pretty nasty cold/flu (no not the swine, I had him tested) and are now finally feeling back to normal. So thanks to everyone for checking in on us and running errands for me (aka commissary run) we really appreciate it! We talked to Kel this morning and he is doing well, here's a little pic of Wyatt talking to daddy, he gets so excited!! Not to sure why the pic is blurry, guess I'll have to check the setting on the camera. The pic above is Wyatt a couple weeks ago with a fat lip. The poor guy fell not once but twice in two days landing each fall on that poor little lip of his. He didn't seem to mind though.

Splash Time!

2009-04-13T17:46:00.000-07:00

Here are a few cute pics from today, we have a little Elmo splash mat for outside and we finally set it up for the first time. Wyatt wasn't too sure at first but he got into it after awhile. Then we let the dogs out to enjoy a little splash time too, i think Chance (our friend's dog) really enjoyed himself.......he loves the water. Wyatt got a kick out of Chance, it was pretty cute. There's a video of it that I'll put on here too. I'm also putting on a little clip of Wyatt sliding into the water, he is such a little dare devil, YIKES!! Enjoy!

My projects!

2009-04-12T16:59:00.000-07:00

Just wanted to show off some of the hard work I have been doing around here lately. A friend of mine came over one afternoon and we completely gutted my backyard, we removed all the shrubs and plants and we also trimmed the tree ourselves. This is a pic of all the rubbish! Amazing huh? And secondly I have been hunting around this island for a TV media stand for almost 2 years now, I basically had given up and then I found an old dresser on someones curb one night while out walking. I saw potential immediately but did not see the hard work!!! But I am happy to say and show you all that after hours of hard work and my friend Katie's help we completed it and I absolutely love it!! I was nervous half way through that it would not turn out the way I planned but thanks to Katie's encouragement I kept working on it and I couldn't be happier, this is exactly what I had wanted all along. So here is a before pic and an after. Pretty neat huh? And the best part is I did it!!!

HAPPY EASTER!

2009-04-12T16:45:00.000-07:00

So I know, it's been a long time since I've updated our blog! Sorry guys, we have been really busy lately. So far today, Wyatt and I got to hunt around the house for Wyatt's Easter Basket, which was pretty easy for him to find since the "Bunny" left it on the coffee table, HA! And then we went off to church and enjoyed some Easter brunch before the service. We are now home for the day, Wyatt is napping, and I am getting ready for all the neighbors to come over later for a potluck dinner. Hope everyone has a wonderful Easter Sunday.

Enjoying Winter Wonderland

2008-12-31T10:30:00.000-08:00

So we're up here in WA enjoying the snow! We took Wyatt out sledding the first chance we got. He really seemed to like it, this boy is not afraid of anything! He wasn't too sure about walking in the snow but he sure liked being pulled around on the sled. He is also a big fan of grandpa's tractor, he loves saying the word and pointing at tractors and trucks, hasn't figured out the difference yet!

Kelly and Wyatt

2008-12-31T10:22:00.000-08:00

I got a cute picture of Wyatt and Kel waiting to board the airplane. It was super cute how Wyatt was up on the ledge looking out at all the planes. The plane ride went pretty good, Wyatt was a trooper and yet again only slept for about 40 minutes. But it was much easier this time with Kelly's help.

Christmas Morning

2008-12-31T10:09:00.000-08:00

So Santa came and brought Wyatt some fun new toys! Wyatt got a new workbench so he can build us things, and his stocking was full of fun new books and color crayons! Yippee.... Santa also brought Daddy a new workbench too, what a surprise that was. Now they can build things together.

Christmas Eve in Hawaii

2008-12-31T09:35:00.000-08:00

Wyatt got a fly with me elmo from his Aunt Mandy and Uncle Justin and a toy lawn mower for Christmas from his Auntie Heather and Uncle Matt. As you can see he absolutely just loves them both, the lawn mower is pretty noisy so we may just have to make it an outside toy only!! Our Christmas Eve was a great night spent with friends, we ate delicious prime rib (Kelly made it), enjoyed Wyatt opening his gifts from Matt and Heather, had some amazing desserts and even remembered to leave Santa his cookies. And we even had time for a bedtime Christmas story with Daddy!

Christmas Card Photo's 2008

2008-12-31T09:13:00.000-08:00

Here's a few of the pictures we took this year on the beach for our Christmas Cards! It was a little sunny out that day so we're squinting a little, well I was a lot, my eyes watered so much that all my makeup ran down my face! It was pretty funny.

Thanksgiving 08

2008-11-28T23:32:00.000-08:00

We went over to our friend's house for Thanksgiving this year. We all had a really good time and the meal was fabulous. We all ate way too much food, but it was worth it. Wyatt got to hang out with his little lady Addi and boy was he planting the kisses on her. Too cute! We all slept pretty good last night too, gotta love Turkey Day!

Wyatt's first official Halloween

2008-11-28T23:21:00.000-08:00

For Halloween this year Wyatt went as the incredible Hulk. I must say he made a very cute Hulk. Kel and I took him trick or treating for a little while around the neighborhood, and look I even got into the Halloween spirit.

Wyatt's day at the beach.

2008-10-16T01:48:00.000-07:00

So I took Wyatt to the beach on Sunday and he actually liked it!! I cant believe it, YEAH! This means that I can actually go to the beach again. At first he was a little unsure but he finally relaxed a bit and enjoyed the waves hitting his feet. He even let me shower him off before we left.....he was a little upset but got over it fast. And I was happy since we didn't get sand in the car seat.

Wyatt gets to swing

2008-10-07T17:40:00.000-07:00

One day while my mom and I were out and about we decided to give Wyatt a little break from the car seat. We saw a park with an actual baby swing sooooooooooooo Wy got to enjoy the swing for a little while. And oh my was he mad when it was time to go.........oh well. It sure made for some cute pictures!!

More of Wyatt's one year photo's

Wyatt's one year photo's

2008-10-07T17:11:00.000-07:00

Here are a few pics from Wyatt's one year photo session. He wasn't so sure of our photographer but we sure did get a few good ones.

Wyatt walks!!!

2008-10-06T12:25:00.000-07:00

So Wyatt decided to start walking while we were back in Oregon! He just started with a few steps at a time and 3 days later he was off!!!!!!!!! And he is loving his new freedom. Not sure if I am loving it, just kidding, I am very proud..........he is doing very well. My life had definitely changed though, I can not take my eyes off of him for a second, oh well maybe I'll finally loose those stubborn last 10 lbs by chasing him all day long, HAHA!

Hiking Smith Rock

2008-09-18T16:03:00.000-07:00

Last Sunday we all went hiking at Smith Rock. It was a little tricky with the stroller and all but Wyatt got the chariot service. We actually saw a snake too, not too many of those in Hawaii. It's been nice to be here in the dry climate. It was a pretty fun hike, I recommend it if your ever in the central Oregon area.

Wyatt's First Birthday Party!

2008-09-04T15:09:00.000-07:00

So we celebrated Wyatt's First Birthday Party on Sunday!! We had a fabulous turn out, all his friends came! We had burgers, hot dogs, potato salad, macaroni salad and of course cake and ice cream. Wyatt did not go full force into the cake like some do, he just enjoyed his piece little by little. It was pretty cute. We also had a pinata for the big kids which was a little crazy, we kinda had to break it open ourselves, oh well. All and all it was a good day, and Wyatt got to enjoy every minute!

Wyatt says "DOG"

2008-08-29T14:15:00.000-07:00

Hey, check out my new word!! I just now learned to say DOG!!

Wyatt helping out!

2008-08-10T14:16:00.000-07:00

So last Sunday Kel and I were doing yard work, YUCK! And Wyatt was outside helping as well. Here's a few cute pics of him in his gardening hat!!! He was really good, he just played in his little entertainer and let us do our work, YAH!

Zoo Day

2008-08-10T14:10:00.001-07:00

A few more pics from the Zoo!

Wyatt's first trip to the Zoo!!!!!

2008-08-10T13:57:00.000-07:00

We decided to take Wyatt to the Zoo last Monday. We had a great time and got to see all the animals, too bad Wyatt wasn't that interested. I guess he's still a little to young for the zoo. He did enjoy watching all the other people, just didn't really get into the animals, oh well. Kel and I enjoyed it, the zoo here is pretty good for being right smack in the middle of the city.

Eating Banana's!!!

2008-07-29T19:26:00.000-07:00

So today I fed Wyatt a cold banana. I was keeping it in the fridge since he only ate 1/2 the day before. He really likes bananas and today his face was priceless, he wasn't so sure about the temperature change. Pretty darn cute I must say.

And the last picture is Wyatt sucking on a frozen pedialyte ice cube that I've been giving him. The poor child is getting so many teeth that he does not want to drink a bottle for mommy! So this is me getting creative so he'll stay hydrated, HA! I must say it's working, thank goodness because I was getting pretty frustrated last week.

Sunsets

2008-07-29T15:04:00.000-07:00

Just wanted to share some pics I took last week. We have been having some amazing sunsets here on our side of the island. Last week during our daily walks, I kept saying I've got to bring the camera tomorrow night, so I finally did! Of course I got the nice telephone wire in the shot, oh well there was no way around that. And I must say it was so much better in real life but hopefully you can still see the beauty in it. Enjoy!

Wyatt's buddies

2008-07-29T14:44:00.000-07:00

Here's a few pics from our last playgroup! Wyatt is so silly with that binkie of his. All the babes are so cute and really like to play together, they are getting so good at it now!! Our next play group is here at our house, so we will have some more fun pics to put up, I just wish I had a camera like Kim's. :)

Poor Annie

2008-07-14T00:27:00.000-07:00

Wyatt loves Annie soooooooooo much! He really likes to crawl on her bed and grab her dog tags. She was trying to lay down and rest but Wyatt was interrupting................oh well. Annie is very good with him, she just lays there and lets him do whatever.

Silly Boy!

2008-07-14T00:11:00.001-07:00

So this is Wyatt's favorite thing to do lately. He loves running around the lanai in his walker, and he likes to walk his way to the edge and get sprayed by the sprinkler. It's pretty cute! I think he likes the punching bag.......do I see a boxer in the future????

Wyatt's First Fourth of July

2008-07-06T02:25:00.000-07:00

So we decided to take Wyatt to Kailua's Annual Fourth of July Parade on Friday. Wyatt did extremely well considering how hot the weather was and how long the parade was. When we finally got back to the car and pulled him out of his stroller we found a big sweat ring on the back of the stroller, poor little guy. I think he liked watching all the people and the horses, he even squeezed in a little nap. I was surprised by that!! We had a pretty fun day, hope you all did too...........

Wyatt's First Tonka!

2008-07-06T02:17:00.000-07:00

Wyatt got a little surprise in the mail last week from his godparents Rich and Lois, it was his very first Tonka truck. As you can see he absolutely loves it. What a great toy.........Thanks to Lois and Rich!!

Our new blog!!

2008-07-06T02:09:00.000-07:00

So I finally created a blog for us to share some pics with everyone another way. I am learning so hopefully all goes well. I am going to try to updated this weekly so everyone can log on and see the updates on Wyatt. As you all can see he is very healthy and happy!!
