RAIN RAIN

The minute the boys hear rain, they strip down to their skivvies and run outside.

DIIRRTY

Our backyard is under construction right now and the boys are loving it.

Water + dirt = MUD.

I walked outside and found Luke and Levi sitting in a hole filled with water and mud, laughing. Who knew a hole full of water could be so much fun?

A TOUCH OF FALL

...All homemade.

I am so proud of myself.

I really don't consider myself to be very crafty, but I might change my mind. I have enjoyed getting together with my sis, Connie, looking for new ideas and attempting to get our craft on with 6 little ones running around wild. I am about to finish up a couple more Fall/Halloween crafts...By the time I have my house all decorated it will be Christmas.

I Love the holidays.

August 30, 2005

I remember everything about that day....My life changed completely and has been different ever since. Wyatt was a long and skinny little man. He had these huge blue eyes, large mouth, and large nostrils. He was one-of-a-kind. Almost immediately I thought he looked like a "Webb." He was never "still", always kicking and moving his legs and arms. He couldn't stand to be swaddled. He slept really well in the hospital, and then didn't sleep at all once we got home. Poor little man was uncomfortable for many months. He spit up ALL THE TIME, layed on a "billy" blanket for the first months or so of his life (he had jaundice pretty bad) which also meant he had to get his heel pricked many times! He suffered from gas, ear infections, thrush multiple times, and didn't sleep through the night until he was at least 6 months. I am not complaining..this is just how it was. It was hard, but it was A LOT of fun too. It felt really good to have a family. I looked forward to the times when we were all together. It was fun taking Wyatt around with me. He was my little buddy. When I was pregnant with Luke I remember how much I worried about losing my little buddy, Wyatt, to another little buddy.

Wyatt has been a joy.

He is the perfect big brother.

He is smart, funny, compassionate (he takes care of me), and of course silly.

He is a good example and wants to do good things.

He is a pleaser.

He is affectionate and sensitive.

He is courageous and brave.

I love my Wy-guy.

For Wyatt's 5th birthday we invited 10 of his friends over for an iron man/pizza party. Instead of an elaborate cake this year we opted for some cupcakes.

Games were played.

Songs sung.

Pizza and cupcakes devoured.

Presents opened.

It was a fun day.

THE SHARKS

In the hospital after I had Wyatt, several nurses commented that he would grow up to play soccer. You see, even as a tiny newborn Wyatt wouldn't stop kicking his legs!

This year we signed Wyatt up for soccer...

3 goals (we actually only saw 2, but he swears he made 3) later and he's hooked.

Before the game we told him if he made a goal we would get him a dilly bar at Dairy Queen. Looks like we're going to be making a lot of trips to DQ this season.

Wyatt did great. No nerves, no fear. He was a natural.

Those nurses were right...

DISNEYLAND 2010

Oh how I love you, Disneyland! Wyatt, Luke, me and Jared decided to take a weekend trip to Newport beach. We spent a day at Disneyland and then the next day relaxed at the beach. Levi got to spend the weekend with Jessica and cousins...no doubt, as the center of attention and loving it. So, we didn't feel bad not inviting him.

We had a blast.

Turkey legs, cotton candy, churros, suckers, dinner at the Blue Bayou...

The favorite ride?...It's a small world...hands down the boys favorite. They were totally mesmerized and smiling throughout. They both said, "I love this place" over and over again. It made my heart swell knowing that it was one of my mom's favorite rides as a child...and it also made me a little sad wishing she could see their faces.

Wyatt was very brave and even rode some of the scary rides with mom or dad.

I enjoyed being able to spend more one on one time with the boys.

We were exhausted by the end of the night!
