I've been horrible at blogging and decided to do a quick little update...

Wyatt turned 2 in July and we had a fun weekend in Glenwood with our family. Lots of four wheeling, games, a pool party, water fight, gifts and of course some cake.





I thought that I would make it out of the so called "terrible two's" and that W would be a perfect little angel. And boy was I wrong, this kid has some attitude. After three time outs and being slapped across the face and having my hair pulled in the check out line at Walmart, I have come to accept these next few months and I will do it with a smile on my face and a scratch on my cheek. He's too adorable and I just love everything about him, temper tantrum and all.

Wy with his head in the "bargage" can.

I have a new man friend and he bought me flowers. I think that any man that brings you flowers to your first date is a keeper. He is super sweet and nice and a total cutie. Our first date was this last weekend and it was a lot of fun and probably the best date I've had in years. I could go on forever, but won't. So far I haven't found anything that I don't like about him. We got together for the second time tonight and had dinner and watched a movie with our kiddos. We are going to get together again this weekend, and I'm definitely excited about that. Oh! I also baked him cookies and they were a hit. I now have permission to bake him cookies whenever I want to. I will keep you all posted (whoever the 5 of you might be!) and promise to blog more. But for now, I'm tired and it's late.

Special shout out to Kristen for making these dates possible, I never thought I'd let anyone set me up. And to Kylie for having the idea to take dessert. Thanks ladies!

What was I thinking?

Well not really sure I was! The Ragnar Relay Del Sol....

Every time I think about it, I want to throw up. There is a part of me that is excited and the rest of me is just terrified. I know in the end (hopefully) that I'll be glad I did it. And at least I'll get back in shape, right? So, here's to my training and the end of February!

I'm having a hard time thinking of anything to blog about. When your life is as boring as mine is, it lacks blogging topics. We had family pictures taken on Thursday and I'm pretty excited to see how they turned out. We haven't had them done in YEARS! Work is good and we're busy, which in the Real Estate market you have to be grateful for. Wyatt is great as usual and so happy. Sometimes I want to run away screaming but isn't that every mom? I hope so! And me.. well I'm just trying to hold everything together and hope it all works out in the end. Not really sure how that will happen, but hope it does.

how do they know?

how is it that a two year old that has never experienced the goodness of teddy grahams, can run down the isle at the store and come to a screeching halt at the teddy grahams and just know how great they are?

awkward

picture yourself in Petersons (or any grocery store) sitting in the deli, enjoying lunch and a small conversation when your 2 year old walks over to you with his diaper in his hand. got a good picture? now you know how my lunch went :) and i will NEVER buy luvs again. they are the worst diapers ever. EVER! oh and no poop was involved in this story, thank heavens.

miracle

wyatt went to bed at 8. some might think this is no big deal, but it is. a huge one at that. and i am grateful. bless you wyatt.

he's no longer a baby

Well, I figured that it may be time to get a post out there. It has been a little over a month and it has seemed to fly right by.

Wyatt will be 2 on Sunday, and it doesn't quite seem real. He is getting so big and is quite the handsome little boy. I love just watching him, he amazes me and I am so grateful for him.

What's going on in Wyatt's little life:

• He no longer listens to mom. I'm not sure I can blame him either, sometimes I get sick of my own voice. This picture is a great example of that.
  
• 

• *3 words... Trains, Trains, Trains. K I know that's only 1 word, but he is THAT obsessed.
• He knows his alphabet and some of the sounds the letters make. I am the only one to witness it so far, but it's no lie.
  
• Bedtime no longer seems to be an option with him and it about pushes me over the edge.
• This boy has rhythm. I love watching him dance.
• He loves his cousins.
• He licks me because he thinks it's funny, and I have NO idea where he learned this. Probably from Kristen.
• He has major attitude, don't ask me where that came from :)
  
• He can sign quite a few signs but now that he talks more they have taken a back seat. Except please and thank you, he still uses those over saying them.
  
• He loves when we get company, which doesn't happen often, but he gets really excited.
• He apparently knows how to say sucker. I just found that out this second when he brought me one for him to open.
  

There is so much that I love about wy, but it would take forever to list everything. He is a great kid! I'm really blessed.
We get to go on a little vacay this weekend. The Warners are kind enough to let us go down to their house in Glenwood and just relax and play. I'm really excited and we are going to have a little birthday party for Wyatt while we are down there.

Work is going really well. I have the best job and boss ever. She takes good care of me and especially Wyatt. And we're busy, so that is also nice! We started taking pilates together and it is my most favorite thing ever. I think that EVERYONE should take pilates and I will probably bug you about it until you do. It's that great.

And this is our life, not much but somehow we stay busy. Gotta love it.
