Randomness

We have had some great weather this past month. I have been trying to enjoy it outside with the boys, but do not take the big camera during our adventures most the time. Here are a few pics over the past month.



Wy and his new Woody doll MJ bought him.




We have a climber!! The boy has to be watched every second.
Additude!
We went to this cute little park during one of Kevin vacation days a few weeks ago.

The boys love the park. Ryder is pretty good at roaming and playing on his own, but Wyatt will be eating sand the minute you turn your back. He also follows random strangers and begins talking or cooing at them.


Love how happy the boys are when they go to the park. Its great exercise for them and free! Hope we have some great fall days ahead at the park.

Wyatt's 1st Birthday

Our sweet Wy turned 1 September 17th. I can't believe a year has flown by. Maybe it is because I spent the first year in zombie mode. This boy began sleeping through the night more often than not right before he turned 1. However he is teething his molars now and lets me know it.

So BIG!!

Big bro trying out Wy's new toys.
My sweet cup. He had a matching hat, but refused to wear it.
The cute little ride Uncle Brian bought for Wy.



Grandma Thurston and Wy.
His very first Winnie the Pooh.
My babies
Lots of great gifts!!
His first birthday balloon.
Cute cake
The personal smash cake. And smash he did. I tried to upload the videos of him eating his cake, but could not for some reason. He was hilarious eating the cake. He shoved the entire thing in his mouth.
A huge thanks to Kevins mom and brother for making Wyatts first birthday extra special. I was 6 hours away in northern WI for a close friends wedding. I was very sad to miss this day, but saw him before I left that day and got to see the videos Kevin took. I will try to never miss another birthday as long as Wyatt lives under my roof.

We went to his 12 month appointment 2 days after his b-day and he is measuring above average in height 75% and a little below in weight 22lb's. Not sure on all the exacts. I place them in his baby book for his future wife or reading pleasure.

As hard as this past year has been getting adjusted to 2 kids and the sleepless nights I would never ever go back. I could not imagine life without Wyatt now. He is one assertive and silly little boy. I know that he will make us proud throughout his entire life.

The Gardens

We go to the Botanic Gardens at least once a year. We went the day before Wyatt's first B-day this year. It was overcast, but we had a great day with friends.














The boys love the little train garden. It is amazing how many trains they have set-up.




The boys with MJ and Tara.
I keep trying to get a nice pic of the 2 together. It seems like an impossible mission with Wyatt.



Deep in thought as he looked onto the trains. He loved walking around.

Ryder & Tara
The ducks were very friendly.
So this is the best I got for a single pic. He just won't sit still.
