Updated Pictures

Here are some updated pictures since we've only been posting movies lately.

The Many Faces of Wyatt

Wyatt's done this for quite a while now, but we finally decided we should have them on video. Dad did his hair this morning. Wyatt won't let anyone touch it now!

Easter Photos

Here are some pictures from this weekend. Is it an issue that Wyatt's diet today consisted of candy and, well, more candy?

Happy Easter!

Here is a video clip from this morning. Finally, the Easter Bunny has arrived. I think Wyatt may be a little confused, since he wished us not only a happy Easter, but also a Merry Christmas and Happy Valentines Day...all on the way to Church. One more quick funny - Jason was explaining Easter to Wyatt as when Jesus was reborn. Wyatt's response...Jesus born in Kazakhstan?

Wyatt's Prayers

We've been saying our prayers every night and finally remembered to video him. Sometimes they're short and sweet and sometimes he uses his stalling talents and prays for everything he can think of...anything not to sleep! This one was a fairly quick one. Enjoy!

Finally, Some Good Snow!

We woke up this morning to about 4 inches of snow. This was no suprise, as there was a Winter Storm Warning posted for the past 2 days, leading up to today. For all of those in WI, IN, IL and IA, you can quit laughing now....4 inches is a lot here! So, we headed out to go sledding. At 8:00 am, we were the first to hit the hills. We never got around to the snowman, but we hope to do that tomorrow. So, here are some pictures from today as well as one photo we took in prep for our trip to the indoor water park.

Ho, Ho, Ho...Merry Christmas

Wyatt offically LOVES Christmas! The Christmas festivities began with Kim's house on the 22nd with Kim, Kevin and Sawyer where we exchanged gifts and decorated (and ate) coookies. Christmas Eve we had Dasha, Andrea and Lily over for some pot roast, playing and ornament painting. Then, Christmas morning we opened presents from Santa and headed to Grandma and Grandpa's house in South Bend. Then, more presents. It is now the 28th and Wyatt is still asking about presents. I think his favorite was a Bob the Builder tool set. Here are some pictures from the past few days. We've gotten a couple of inches of snow at Grandma and Grandpa's, so hopefully we'll have some playing in the snow pictures to add tomorrow...assuming our ear ache that surfaced in the middle of the night is feeling better!

Letter To Santa

Dear Santa,

I've been hearing so much about you. And from what I hear, you've got this nice/naughty list. Before you finalize that list and head out tonight, I thought I'd explain some things to you.

1. I've believed in you from the beginning...I watched the Polar Express and never once did I doubt you like that little boy! I Believe, I Believe!
2. I've been trying hard to poop in the potty. When I go in the corner and poop in my diaper and tell my parents that I didn't, I'm not lying...I'm just pulling their chains!
3. I'll admit, I do lose my temper. But that's not my fault. If my parents would let me do what I want and when I want to, there wouldn't be a problem! (By the way, which list are they on?)
4. My parents will tell you that I occasionally spit and them when I get mad. They are the one's that started the Raspberries a long time ago...I'm not spitting, just trying to lighten the mood.

I think that's it for now Santa. I've made some cookies for you and your reindeer. Have a safe trip!

Love
Wyatt

Yes, We're Still Here...

So, it's been a while. I don't know where to begin summarizing our last 2 months. Very busy with lots of laughs and two year old moments. To aviod a post that is forever long, I'll update with these pics and promise to do more after Christmas.

Believe in....Photo Ops!

This week ESPN's College Football GameDay and CBS Sports are in town to cover the #8 Kentucky Wildcat football team. Wyatt made it to the set of ESPN's College Football GameDay. Wish the Cats luck!

Fall Fun

Fall is offically Wyatt's favorite season. Between football and now Boyd's Orchards, we live for the beautiful fall weekends. The past 2 Saturdays have been spent at Boyd's. One with Grandma and one with Cissie, Andrea, Kelly, Lillie, Allie, Jenny and Avaih. Thank you so much to Cissie and Jenny for all of the wonderful pictures they took. Let's see, ride a horse, play in the sand, go down a huge slide, ride a train and come home and watch UK work their way to #8 in the polls. I think we may have gotten a little slice of heaven. Here are just a few pics to some up the day.

First Day of School

On the Tip of My Tongue...

Wow. What a day. It started normally...breakfast, play, kiss Papa goodbye, run to the door and oops...this is where it got ugly this morning. Wyatt tripped, fell and hit face first on the window sill by the door. Talk about blood. Blood from the nose, blood from the lip, and blood from the gums. We got him calmed down, he even began to play again (nothing stops this kid!) when we noticed he still had a little blood in his spit. Hmmm, where is that coming from. Here's the dialogue that followed:

Mom: "Wyatt, stick out your tongue"
(Wyatt sticks out his tongue)
Mom: (some words I won't type), Jason, come here!
Jason: We're going to the doctor...NOW!

Off we go. We got to meet lots of new doctors. Starting with a nurse, then a doctor, then another doctor, then an oral surgeon. The oral surgeon the bearer of the bad news that we all kind of knew was coming...Stitches in the tongue. Not the best time of anyone's life. Since Wyatt had eaten breakfast, sedation was not a choice until late afternoon. After a little discussion, we decided that it was best to get it done. So, some local anasthetic and 15 minutes of mom holding (that's a nice way to put it) Wyatt still and 3 stitches in the tongue later, here we are.

Wyatt was exhausted after the screaming and fighting during the stitches and all of the events that took place, so he fell asleep on the way home. About 3 hours later, I hear something in his room. No, that couldn't be...yes, it is...Wyatt jumping in his crib. Are you serious, kid? I whine for a day when I bite my cheek, and you have stitches in your tongue and you're having a party in your crib?? Wow!

The rest of the night, he's been normal. He ate plenty of yummy soft foods and is on a regular Children's Tylenol schedule. Now, after a long day, he's snoozing once again. I have to wonder what he'll be like throughout the night and tomorrow. I'm hopeful that tonight was an indication that all will be well. Keep your fingers crossed!

It's Football Time in the Bluegrass!!

We're ready for some football action! C-A-T-S CATS, CATS, CATS! Here's a picture from a little pregame at home. After nap, we're off to tailgate and to see how long we can manage sitting in one seat in a crowd of 70,000...we'll update tonight...

Playing Outside

We had a blast just playing outside yesterday. Here are some pics.
