Happy 2nd birthday, Wyatt!

My sweet little (big) boy is 2 years old today!!

I know I will likely say this every year, but it blows my mind that I have been a mom for 2 years. Not to mention to such a sweet, loving, silly little boy like Wyatt. I know the Lord knew what he was doing we he gifted us with Wyatt. He keeps us on on our toes, makes us laugh, and even makes us want to pull our hair out at times.

Being a parent has without a doubt been the most challenging thing I have ever experienced. It's filled with lots and lots of highs and the occasional lows (read: teething, sickies, and tantrums). There are times that I think that I am completely screwing up his life and time that I am completely rocking it and preparing him for nothing but success.

I love having a two year old. He does things that are absolutely hilarious and it just seems that every day is more fun than the last.

I look forward to spending the day with Wyatt once he gets out of school today and celebrating him tomorrow with family and friends!

Oh, and eating on this that I made you!

Happy birthday, Wyatt!! You are so very special to us and we love you so much!

Keeping up with Claire: Week 10

10 weeks old!! Crazy! You can't have a lot of play time without nearly being crushed by your big brother. You've also began to get slightly irritable whenever you are eating and Wyatt's hovering over you. Poor thing.

I realized I didn't post about your 2 month appointment. You were 11.2lbs and 22.5in long. You didn't like the shots and slept most of the day. Poor little guy. I felt bad for you, but it's all for the good.

SOLD! ... under contract

Well, kinda. Ryan always corrects me when I say, "I still can't believe we sold our house so quick!" with a "It's not sold yet." True story, I suppose.

However, despite the fact that it hasn't technically sold yet I still get so excited that it was only for sale for 2 weeks before we received (and accepted) an offer! Their financing was approved so now we just want for the process to move along. Luckily, this is my line of work so I know what to expect and how long it normally takes. We are looking forward to the middle of May with nothing but good news. I hope we get to stick to our closing date we've set! Fingers crossed and lots of prayers!

And!

We've also found us a house!! So exciting and I look forward to sharing more about it!

April iPhone Picture Dump #1

We took Sissy on a walk. He had to be in control.

Sidewalk chalk!

Pawpaw's girl!

Uncle Jay wore him smooth out.

Just chillin' in Sissy's chair.

Keeping up with Claire: Week 9

She prefers to be held up on your shoulder looking out.  She gladly shares her disdain if you opt not to hold her this way.

It hurts my back. Ha!

iPhone Picture Dump from March

There is nothing I love more than sleeping babies. For real. Mothers understand.

I took a picture of Wyatt because the way he had "Momo" cracked me up. The first picture he was super ticked looking. I took a second and this is what I got...

And then a third:

I loved that Wyatt went and grabbed a book for him and Claire to read.

Just a little outdoor time!

My little loves:

Told you I love pictures of sleeping babies...

Easter 2013

We had a nice Easter this year, our first with Claire!

 

The Easter bunny came to see the babies and Wyatt was most interested in his Peeps.

 

We got ready for church and my babies looks soooo precious! I about died over Claire's cuteness in her bonnet! And Wyatt...my little boy is looking less and less like a toddler and so much more like a boy.

 

Church was good! We actually got there on time and Wyatt went to children's church for the first time! I am so excited that he's (almost) 2 now and can go. I may get to pay attention during the sermon now! Ryan stayed with him for his first time, but he said we should be able to drop him off and him not be missing us. I hope! They made this and I'll probably keep it forever!

After church we went to eat at SKK a new restuarant in town. I won't be returning. Ryan likely will. Ew.

 

After naps we hunted Easter eggs!

 

Wyatt wasn't really interested in putting the eggs in his basket. He was much more interested in picking them up by way of his truck.

 

He is so goofy.

 

 

It was a great day with beautiful weather!
