Wordless Wednesday-My boys got skillz!

Our weekend

We didn't have any big plans made but had a great time winging it!

I had to work Saturday morning so Randy stayed home with the kiddos. We met up when I got off work and split up with the kids. Jillian came with me and JoJo while Wyatt went with his Daddy. JoJo and I went to Hobby Lobby to pick up a few supplies for Wyatt's birthday party and for teacher appreciation week at the kids school. I was so excited that I got everything I needed in one place! I would go into details BUT I don't wanna ruin the surprise of party decor and teacher presents!

Afterward we headed back to our little town and met up with Randy and Kimmi and Shelby and Patty and David. Dinner at Tumbleweed. Lots of fun and good conversation. The food was good too!

Jillian was dying to go to Shelby's house but I had a lot to do at home so we asked her if she wanted to sleep over at Shelby's. She was all for it until everyone was in their separate cars and Mommy and Daddy weren't with her, lol! So, change of plans. But then Miss Shelby was sad, so we took her with us, to our house for a sleep over! They were wonderful and had lots of fun together!!

Sunday we headed to Church and a had a bite to eat afterwards. Then we headed home to work on some crafts while the kids took a nap. Correction- while Wyatt napped! I accomplished 2 Derby shirts and completed 2 party decorations, with the help of JoJo!! Thanks again JoJo! We then had a family meal and called it a night!

Not all that exciting but still a good weekend for us!

Below, in no particular order 'cause that's the way my blogger app likes it, a few pics from our weekend!

What's been up-Instagram style

Here's what I've posted recently on Instagram.

Getting ready for Derby!!  Made a few shirts for the kiddos!

Riding MeMe's new horse, Zorro!  Isn't he beautiful?!

We went to a birthday party at the Discovery Gym.  The kids loved it!

The boys loved riding/sitting on Zorro as well!

A little swinging when it's nice outside!

Shirtless spaghetti night!!

I got an embroidery machine a month or so a go, and I'm addicted to making these shirts for the kids!!

Jillian on the rings, at the Discovery Gym.

I wore skinny jeans for the first time the other day!  I finally felt comfortable enough with my weight to do so!

I did some shirts for a friend's kiddos.  I love how they turned out!!

And that's about it for now!  Life is so busy, I'm trying to post when I can!  Derby's coming up in a few weeks.  Little man is going to be 2!  So, I'm a party planning fool!  

Wyatt @ 21 Months, 22 Months and 23 Months

I am a few months behind on little man's post/updates.  It's all going by way to fast for me.  Little man is going to be 2 in about a month.  Oh my word, I almost can't believe it!!

I wanted to do your traditional post where I write on a picture but, 22 things is a lot to put on one pic!!  And since I am so behind I'm just gonna write as many things as I can from the past 2 months and current month!

22 Months

 You can recognize most of your letters, thank you Ms. Debbie!

 Loves to mock your sister.
If I brush her hair and she says ouch then when I brush your hair you say ouch too!

 Plays basketball every night with Daddy.

 Still obsessed with sports, mainly Football and Basketball!

You point out every tractor you see.

 Daddy has even taught you the names of tractors and you'll repeat them. Minneapolis Moline, John Deere, and International!

You climb in to your highchair when it's time to eat.

Had a ball at your school Valentine's dance.

You shook your booty!

You tell me what hat you wanna wear.

Usually either Elmo or Monkey do!

Love french fries.

Not sure of your weight, but you wear size 4 diaper, size 2t shirts and pants and 6 shoe.

22 Months

You are getting very independent!

And a little temperamental!  

A little more hard headed.

But still just as lovable, and sweet.

You love getting to play outside, although we haven't had a lot of warm days yet.

Still love watching Elmo!

You ask for it everyday when we get home.

You still take a paci but only when you sleep.

You're still gonna be upset when it goes bye bye.

Your vobab is exploding!

There is nothing you won't try to say.

23 Months

You are a ball of energy!

You are so inquisitive!
Always asking what everything is!
Sometimes you even ask who people are.
And you usually pick the older people to point at and they think your cute.
You have started using a lot of sentences lately,
"I spilled the bubbles!"
"Where'd sissy go?"
"I want/like that!"
"I'm hungry too!"
"I want to ride da tractor!"
And of course you'll repeat anything and everything your sister says!
You are still obsessed with tractors and trucks!
You like to wear your baseball hats like Daddy.
You can climb in your Carseat all by your self.
You love to play with the iPad or our iPhones.
Daddy took you for a ride in a huge tractor the other day and you loved it!
You always ask to ride the tractor (lawn mower) when Daddy's mowing grass.
You are all boy, all the time.
You still like to be rocked at night and still have a PC, (paci).
But not for long.
When you turn two next week it's bye bye PC.
I'm not sure who will be more upset, you or me.
We depend on it a little to much sometimes!
You love to flush the toilet and have been caught flushing socks!
You would stay outside all the time if I let you!

In less than a week little man you will be a two year old! Ahhh! I can't believe we're already here. We live you more and more every single day! From learning to new words to playing sports, you amaze us! You are a lover and a hugger, when you wanna be! I'm so proud of the little guy you are becoming!

Love,
Mommy

Easter 2013

Yes, I know, I'm a little late.  Story of my life!!  So in like fashion, this was our Easter.

One of the first places we went was to Beckley Park.  We rode bikes, the whole family.  Wyatt rode in a cart hooked to the back of Kimmi and Jay's bike's.  It was fun.

We went three different places in all and the kids had 5 Easter egg hunts.  Can we say spoiled!!  It was all so fun and the kids and us had great times.

The End!!

Kindergarten registration

Wednesday we took Jillian for her kindergarten registration. She will attend Wright Elementary. She did very well! When we first got there we had to fill out paperwork, and one of the teachers took Jillian into the library and screened her. We could see her the whole time, I was so proud of her and how well she did. After about 10 minutes or so she came out and the teacher went over her results with us. She scored very well with only a few mistakes. She knew all of her uppercase letters but one, which I know she's knows. She knew most of her lowercase letters as well but again I know she knows them all. Her preschool teacher even said she did. They went over letter sounds and again she knew most of them but wouldn't tell the teacher all of them. She counted to 19 with no mistakes but skipped a few numbers after that. The teacher told us as long as she could count to 10 she was doing fine. They also had her rhyme words which she did excellent with. However she would not write her name for the teacher. She told me she didn't want too! Lol! I explained to her that she will have to for kindergarten! The teacher told us she was set for kindergarten and she would see us at orientation in the fall!

I'm so proud and excited but so sad at the same time! I know she's ready for this and she will do wonderful! I just can't believe how fast she's growing up!

She also had to get a booster shot at the doctors office. That didn't go as well! But she's fine now!

Here are a few pictures from our morning!

Wyatt Knows his ABC's

Well most of them!! I am so behind on Wyatt's monthly posts. So I thought I would share this video I took of Wyatt. A couple of months ago my grandmother, whom keeps Wyatt one day a week, pointed out that he would tell her the letter on his blocks. I had to witness this myself, so Randy and I sat at the table one night after supper and would hand Wyatt a block and ask him the letter. To my surprise he knew most of them. Of course I didn't think to video it until 3 or 4 times through and he was tired! I went to school that same week and ask Wyatt's teacher if she was teaching him his letters and she said of course! She said they have an alphabet rug and he runs to letters and asks her what they are and she tells him. She said then she asks him where each letter is! This folks is why I work and send my kids to daycare/preschool! Their school is awesome!
Without further ado here is the video I took this morning. It's not perfect and we don't do all the letters mainly because some of the magnets are under the fridge! You don't have to watch the whole video, it's about 5 minutes long! And keep in mind, this boy won't be 2 until May!!
