Fun Things We've Done

Here's Wyatt walking, FINALLY. He walks most of the time now. The only time he crawls is when he has fallen down and needs to get to something that he can pull up on. He can actually stand up in the middle of the floor, I watched him do it twice in less than five minutes. He just doesn't know it yet.

This is Lloyd's 50 birthday party. Clint gathered up most of the helium balloons and tied them together for Wyatt to play with. Wyatt would pull them down around him and then let them go. He had so much fun. That other little hand on the side is Courtney, she wanted to play too but Wyatt did not want to share.

Here's him letting them go and Courtney trying to catch them.

The balloons got wrapped around his middle so he crawled around with them. He thought that was pretty cool. Obviously this was before he decided he could walk everywhere.

Kale and Darcy love to snuggle up with Clint. They would sleep in our bed every night if we would let them.

We took the kids to the circus the other night. They didn't like it as much as I thought they would. They were bored before half time.... intermission.... whatever they call it at the circus.

Here is Kale the one time that I think he was actually entertained. I am not good at explaining things otherwise I would tell you what was going on. It was Clint and my favorite part of the whole thing. I asked Kale after what his favorite part was and he said the lions and tigers. But I don't think he really even paid attention to them. He was more interested in the whip he got.

Things are going really good for us. Kale just keeps getting bigger and bigger. He's such a sweet heart and I love him so much. He always has to give hugs and kisses before you leave. He generally cries when I leave him too. I love it, he makes me feel good about myself. He is counting down days until his birthday. For a few days he could remember how many were left without asking but the last few he has to ask.

Darcy still refuses to potty train. I thought that girls were supposed to be easier than boys. She has such mind of her own. It wouldn't be so bad if she totally didn't get it but she does she just won't do it! AH! She is also saying all sorts of cute things lately. I am always laughing at how so darn cute she is. This isn't the best example but the other day she asked me if we could go to Grandma Peggy's house I told her maybe later and she said, "Maybe tomorrow huh Mom?"


Like I said earlier Wyatt is finally walking. Hallelujah! He has master "bye-bye" and "more" and he can say mom and dad and uh-oh but just won't. I don't know how I got children that are so stubborn. He loves to give kisses too. He's such a doll.


I seriously think that I got the best kids in the world. We have our days but I really just love them and don't know what I would do without them.


The house is coming along. I am crossing my fingers that it will be done by the end of the month. But that is probably wishful thinking. There really isn't that much left to do...other than tile which is so time consuming but all Clint has left with that is grout and he has to do the showers. Speaking of the house I have one more picture.

Now that you see the picture I am sure you are wondering what this has to do with the house right? Well, we took Wyatt's play pen over to the house so he could nap while I painted. I forgot to bring it back and I can rarely get him to sleep if he's not in his bed or in the car. I had been fighting to get him to go to sleep all afternoon and then I saw the laundry basket and wondered if it would work. I put a pillow in the bottom and gave him his bottle to keep him occupied for a while. To my surprise, it actually worked!! His poor little legs were pretty cramped but hey it worked and he was so much happier when he woke up.

Sorry I know this is getting long but this is the last thing for today. As I am getting ready to finish this up Darcy comes to me "Mom, I have to go pee." And she goes in the potty! I swear! Oh well I guess I just need to be greatful any time she goes right?
