Kira (aka Keeeeea!!)

Had a great time with Kira on her birthday today, it was really fun!


Funny things that Wyatt has done today...

1-dropped his milk cup on the floor and said (Oh Maaaaaaaan u totally had to hear it!)
2-Blowing (maybe blowing kisses, but seriously just blowing puffs of air) at the Moon and saying "Keeeeaaaa ballll!!! (Kira, Ball)"
3-About 15 minutes after Kira left, walking out to the porch and waving to nothing saying "Bye bye Keeeeea"
4-Oh yeah and before Kira actually left, saying "Birrday Keeea" (Happy birthday Kira!_
Love you sis, I hope you had a good birthday. Thank you for your wonderful kindness, your amazing friendship and dependability, the way that you always hear me out even when my story is going absolutely nowhere, and for truely caring, when no one else does. I can't tell you how much you mean to me and how wonderful you truely are. You amaze me with your strength, and I am so happy to have you as my greatest girlfriend. Love you so much and thanks for being my sister!

Changes..

I haven't been feeling well lately. I decided about 3 days ago, that it would be a good idea if I change my diet. I am pretty active with the kids, but don't really have a work out regimen... And since I am getting a bit older, I noticed that my metabolism isn't as kind to me as it used to be! So, I am trying to change my eating habits and my exercise patterns and such. Anyhow, longer story short... I gave up Coke (Coca-cola). Oh geez. I am going to have one today, but haven't had one in 3, so that is really great! I don't think I have gone that long ever, even when I was in London, and didn't really want to afford the not so good version of Coke that they sell in the UK. Anyhow. That is what is up with me now. I got sick while quitting my caffeine habit, how lovely. I am probably sick because of no caffeine! I am suprised at how chilly it got outside lately, but we have relaxed this weekend, and taken the kids out to play in the yard for a couple hours yesterday and we are going to do the same today. Church is tonight, and we have a busy week, which includes my sister's 21st birthday! Wahooooo! My husband starting his new job, I start watching little Sophie... wow it is going to be lots of changes to get used to at the same time. All along with not drinking Coke... oh dear. I watch a thing on the Food Network called Heavyweights last night... Coke vs. Pepsi... really made me want to drink a coke.
Well I am going to get the baby up and take her outside to play w/ her big brother, and daddy!
Peace ya'll..

Two year check up for Wyatt

I took Wyatt in for his two year check up on Monday and that was quite a trip. It was nice because he was so cooperative, Praise God. He is such a good boy. He weighs 26 lbs now, and is kind of skinny for his age, which I thought was funny. He had to get a shot. I thought that it would get easier as they got older (for me to deal with I mean), but oh my goodness, it so doesn't. It was really hard. He kept saying "Mommy, booo booooo!!!" with huge crocodile tears. Anyhow, he is in great health, so I am thanking the Lord for that.

HaPpY bIrThDaY wYaTt!!!

This is Wyatt 2 years ago today. We had a hard day that day. Oh my goodness. He wasn't actually born until 3:24pm on September 8th. 6lbs 7.5oz, he had wrapped his cord around his neck three times (with a knot) so, I went in and they took him out! I was under general anesthesia, so unbeknownst to me, the little guy got a hole in his lung and had to be taken away to Waukesha (he was born in Oconomowoc) so, that is why his Daddy is only pictured here. Oh my gosh how dramatic of an entrance for this little man! We are having a party at Nixon park today, and I am excited about it! We aren't doing anything too special just cake and playing, but it is one of his favorite places to go, and he is going to see his favorite people there!

Thank you Emily!!

Oh my gosh we got free tickets to the Brewers game last night. Ben got them from his work, and actually didn't end up going because he needs to get up so early! So, I ended up going with my sister, and my inlaws, and we had a good time~ Kira and I actually left in inning 7 because the Brewers were just stompin the Astros. Em decided that she would watch the kids and actually took them overnight! OH MY GOSH I am missing them, but it was nice to not have to get out of bed right when Wyatt calls me in the morning, and to actually clean the house quick. Anyhow, so thank you to Emily, for watching the kids, and for helping me yesterday come up with great art activities to do with Wyatt. We had a blast! Today is laundry at Grams and then we are going to Amy's Lia Sophia party, so that will be fun~!
Peace and have a blessed day

Great 2nd B-day party for Wyatt!

We had a wonderful time at my mom's today... I am going to have her email some pics of the boy opening his gifts, and the little girl dressed like a ducky for swimming! Anyhow, he got a great start to the activity box that I am trying to pull together for the winter time. We got finger paints, glue, construction paper, markers, glue, and scissors, which is wonderful! Oh my gosh I am really excited. He got a Mrs. (yeah Mrs. Ooooopppps on my part...) and so much other fun stuff. Mom had Elmo theme (shocker) so that was a blast, he saw this HUGE gift bag with Elmo on it, and he YELLED "ELMO!!" oh man he is so funny. My Grams got him his own potty chair, and it makes noises and sings to him, Oh yeah and lights up! Wow... bells and whistles on a potty... never would have guessed it! Anyhow, great end to a wonderful weekend. My husband is convinced that the weather is going to change quick now... so we'll see, it was 93 degrees when we passed the bank today... I am really ready for fall...

Gods little blessings!

As I have blogged before and have prayed and thought about lately (Alot), Emily is leaving and I will no longer have a great resource for Wyatt to have a little playmate, Well that prayer got answered on Saturday. We came home from church (actually right after I got prayer for this at the beach) and an old friend came knocking on the door. I had heard that somewhere along the way, this old friend had a little girl, but he walked in and there he was with a little sweet 15 month old! We got to talking and turns out he needs someone to help watch little Sophia. I am not sure if this will all work out because our friend is divorced and his ex has a say in what happens with the little one, but it would work out perfectly since he needs help with her on Thursday and Fridays of each week! So, I am hoping that it works out because she can come and play and then Wy will have a playmate! I am pretty excited about it and hope that it works out, but the Lord knows! Well, Happy Labor day! We are going to my mom's house and celebrating Wyatt's 2nd birthday, so that is going to be SO fun! And if it turns out to be a really nice day, we are hoping to make one last splash in my mom's pool before the end of summer, so that is what we are up to!
Hope you all have a wonderful day!
Peace
