Bandins, Pappa's B-day, & Taylor

This is becoming the new way I post! I get so far behind that I have to do some major catching up! Anyway, life has been busy, but a lot of fun too.


Wyatt hits his head almost everyday. I guess he's pretty clumsy, like most 2 yr olds are, but I think the biggest problem is that his head is so big (like most 2 yr olds)! Poor kid. Well, he's been really lucky to never have any blood, but a couple weeks ago that all changed. He was being such a big helper and trying to help me get Luke all ready for a bath when he tripped and hit his eye right on the edge of the tub! Ouch! The skin popped right open and it started bleeding pretty bad. I did get a little nervous just because I couldn't find anything to hold on his eye, but I made the mistake of sitting him up on the counter where he was able to look in the mirror and see his face bleeding, which really freaked him out! Once he saw that he had an "owie" he wouldn't let me hold anything on it. That's the most he's cried...ever! He's usually pretty tough. Anyway, after a lot of coaxing and a Slurpee and candy, we finally got him to let us put a "bandin", as he calls it, on. He's doing fine now!



Grandpa Webb's B-day was July 18Th and it was fun going to dinner with him! Wyatt really loves him and always has a fun time when Grandpa "Vebb" comes over. I made a cake earlier that day and told Wyatt it was Grandpa's birthday, so all day Wyatt was saying, "Happy Birthday to Papa!" Everyone came over to our house later that night to eat the cake and once the candles were blown out Wyatt reached for a candle and put the hot end right in his mouth! Luckily that didn't call for another bandin! Wyatt has not forgotten Grandpa's birthday, and although it's been a week, he still sings Happy Birthday! Last Sunday I made some dinner rolls and Wyatt thought they were cupcakes, so he started singing happy birthday to Papa again!


Friday July 20th we drove up to Snowflake/Taylor where Jared's sister lives to watch the 24Th of July parade and to eat some BBQ. It's always fun to get out of the heat and to see Jenny and the kids. Wyatt always has a blast since there's lots of kids, horses, bugs, a pig, chicks, and a baby lamb! He enjoyed playing with the chicks this time! We had a great trip and enjoyed the BBQ and spending time with some family.

Luke's 1st road tripLuke is now almost 2 months! Wow, time has really flown! We're really enjoying our "2 boys " as Wyatt says.
