Oh the things they say!!

I was on my way home from school today, I had picked Wyatt up from the daycare and was driving the 15 minutes home. Last summer I got a chip in my windshield and when we took it through the car wash the hot water on the outside and the A/C on the inside put a huge crack on my window. I know nice right. Well we where on our way home and this was the conversation between Wyatt and I.



Wyatt: Mom your truck is broken you need to get it fixed.

Me: What's wrong with my truck?

Wyatt: right there on the window mom there is a crack you need to get it fixed.

Me: Okay I will get it fixed.

Wyatt: don't worry Mom I will fix your window i have screwdrivers in my packpack.

Me: oh really what are you going to do with screwdrivers??

Wyatt: I am going to fix the crack in the window.

Me: oh thank you buddy that would be nice.

Wyatt: Ya mom i will fix it cause I am very super strong.

Me: LAUGHED!! I was laughing so hard that I couldn't say anything, but what did you say Wyatt??

Wyatt: I said I am very super strong, and I am very super fast to.





I love my little boy and it makes me so happy that he is old enough that he wants to help me fix everything. I really can't wait for the day that he can actually do it, but I do pray that he never tries to fix my windshield with a screwdriver. Life is so wonderful and I am so grateful for my son.

Thanksgiving at Grma Jean's

Since Ben is still gone Wyatt and I decided to spend Thanksgiving at Ben's mom's house in Iowa. We really like haning out with Grma Jean she lives in the country and there is always something to do. Well Wyatt and I showed up at Grma's before she got off work on Wednesday and when she arrived home she all the good stuff for some really yummy desert.

We had eaten two Thanksgiving dinners on Thursday so Friday night we sat down and made this.

Wyatt loved the ice cream more than the 7-up.

Yummy!!

Sunday afternoon Family fun!!

Last Sunday Wyatt and I decided to make cookies and while I was doing this I thought of how much I enjoy Teresa's blogs with all of her cute pictures and stories. I thought how easy is it to just take a couple pictures of the items and fun we had so here goes. Ben is still working in Texas and so Wyatt and I have fun trying to find things to keep us busy!

When I said that Wyatt and I made cookies I of course did not mean from scratch. Sams club has this great and handy little bucket of cookie dough. We usually always have a bucket in the fridge and whenever we want cookies we simply pull it out and make a batch and then back in the fridge it goes till our next cookie craving hits.

We love these treats and this is the first time that Wyatt has waned to help make them. We had a lot of fun.

Enjoy!!

Happy Halloween!

I know that this is a little late, but I reallly wanted to put pictures up of Wyatt in his Halloween Costume. I asked him about two weeks before Halloween what he wanted to be and all he would say was a Dinosaur.

We had so much fun just going around the block here in our little town. All of the people we really nice and it was great weather. It was almost to warm for him to were his costume which growing up in the west was a real change.
We stopped by one of my friends house and took some pictures also. This is her little boy Gavin and Wyatt loves playing with him.

Houston

WOW!! I have started this same blog three times maybe this time I can actually finish and post it. Well Ben has been working in Houston, Texas since about mid-September cleaning up and rebuilding the power lines after Hurricane Ike. Wyatt and I have just been tyring to get by day-by-day without our Daddy. Finally it just got to be to much and so we decided to head south for a visit. We book our flight and was able to go down there with him for a week. One of the days that we were there we took Ben lunch down on the job. It just so happen that he was working right on the Gulf so we got to play in the water and sand. It was so much fun and warm.

We were also able to drive into Houston and spend some time with our friends that we had down there. Most of them had not seen Wyatt since he was first born and others had never seen him at all. We went to a Resturant called Casa Ol, it's one of my favorite and I so missed there green sauce. It's kind of mix of Guacamole and sour cream so good.

All in all it was a great trip and I really hope that it's not another three years before I get to spend time with my friends again. I also hope that it's not to much longer till Ben comes home. He was supposed to be home on the 15th and the closer it gets to that day the further back they keep pushing it. We are now to the point where they are saying he won't be home till 2 weeks after Thanksgiving. Well i am hoping that it is soon and for now this is what's going on in the midwest.

Update!!

Wow! i was just thinking that I get on this thing everyday and check to see what's going on with everyone and here is me nothing. I am like Kelly I didn't think I could post anything if I didn't have pictures. Well crazy guess what I am doing it tonight just words no pictures. I know boring, but my computer is in the shop and all I have is my laptop and I have fake nails on which makes it that much harder. Well i am working hard at school. It is really getting tough, but I love it and today we got to work on frog muscles and watch them contact and found out why streched muscles work better than non stretched. It was really a great lab and I loved finding out all the information. Ben is in Texas working still trying to get everything put back together from Hurricane Ike. I guess he made a bigger mess than they told you about on the TV. Wyatt is growing like a weed and is funny to be around. I love being a mom and he makes me smile and happy to be alive no matter what my mood is. Well I really hope that this finds everyone well.

My big Boy!!

Wyatt and I took a trip to the zoo and it was so much
fun just taking pictures of my little man doing different things.












He looks so serious and like such a big boy.
It makes me cry!












It wasn't until after I got home that I realized
it looked like these two are sitting the same way.













Little boys!

More Family Pictures

WOW!! What fun family can be

WOW!! Well we just got home from a family reunion and man oh man was it fun. I know that I have the coolest family in the world, but this weekend just made me know it all over again. We all got to meet at in Powell at Bret and Heidi's house and the fun began. Friday morning we all headed up the canyon above Lovell to Bear Lodge. It took three vehicles and one non working walkey talkey to get up the canyon, but we made it in good time and hurried to get the trailer unloaded so that we could go fishing and site seeing. We went to a little pond that just our luck had been closed the days leading up to our trip and was freshly stocked for a derby the following day. The pond was only open to the public one day and we just happen to get there just in time. My dad caught the biggest fish I had ever seen out of the pond and was so proud. After that we headed back to camp for dinner and bonding time. Bret, Bart, Tara, Michelle, Kelly, and Heidi helped get dinner on while Ben heated rocks up over the fire to put ontop of the Dutchovens. It was really fun snapping pictures while everyone made dinner. The next morning was breakfast and clean up so that we could hit one more lake on our way home to fish some more. Which was very funny to me for a family where the majority of us didn't even like fish to spend that much time catching them!! One the way back down the mountain we also stopped at Burgess Junction and had a couple Kodak moments. We all laughed and had so much fun. When we got back to Bret and Heidi's we swam in a wagon and played cards. I love my family and wouldn't trade any of them. Thank you all so much for making this a great vacation it wouldn't have been the same without you!!!

How time flies!!

Well I do get on this thing from time to time and obviously I don't write when I get on. I was looking and noticed that I haven't updated in like three months. I am so sorry to those of you that do get on here only to find that I have not wrote. Well life is good. We are in our new home and could not be happier. I love having my own space that is mine that I don't have to pay rent to someone else. Wyatt is getting to big and I wish he would go back to be my little boy who naps when I tell him to and doesn't look and me and say" MOM I POOPED". He is the funniest thing though and I wouldn't give up my time with him for anything. Ben is doing great he is working out of town right now and has been for some time now. He doesn't like being gone, but it's really good money and we like spending it, so you have to make it some how!! LOL

Well I am really getting on here to talk about our Fourth of July trip. We got to go up to Ben's moms and spend the weekend. The little small town that she lives in puts on quite a show. We went and had a potluck dinner the night before which was really good. The fourth we got up and headed over to watch all the events. They had truck pulls, and tractor pulls and a parade and fireworks. We all had so much fun and was really glad that we made that trip. Here are a few pictures of our families adventure up north!! LOL

Our 1st House!!

We are finally in our first home!! YIPPEE!! Life is great and I couldn't be happier. We bought our home about a month ago and moved in. My mortgage is due the first on June and that is the greatest check I will ever have to write!!! We are loving having our own place and space. Apartments are so loud and un-private. Wyatt is also loving the space he gets to run and play there is more than enought room. He is in hog heaven. I will post more pictures later of the inside!!

A Day at the Park!!

About once a week my friend and I like to get together and let the kids play and make dinner. We have a lot of fun and it makes us forget about school at least for one night. On this particular night we deceided to take the kids to the park right next door to our house. While walking over there Wyatt is used to Daycare where everywhere they go your hold hands so he automatically grabbed Neala's hand. It was the cutest thing so I got a picture of it. Later we tried to get a picture of all the kids and the sunset. We got the kids but the sunset left a lot to be desired.

Grma and Grpa!

Wyatt and his Daddy's hat!!

Last weekend we got to go up North to Ben's moms house. We had fun, we got to BBQ and move cows. Wyatt loved watching the cows run up into the horse trailer. I look in his face and I can tell that he can't wait till he is old enought to run through the field with Grpa and Daddy. We got them all loaded and while Grpa and Daddy went and unloaded them we got to watch Grma's horse get shoed. Wyatt really loves going to Iowa and running in the wide open space.

Kites!!!

On saturday we decided to go out and fly our brand new kite. I love flying kites, the feel of the wind under the kite and watching it fly over your head. It wasn't until Saturday though that I realized just how weird you look trying to get those things in the air. We ran and ran and ran some more just trying to get the wind to catch it just right, my word what a workout. It was so nice though being out there in the field with my family feeling the wind and not having to worry about anything. I can't wait to be able to go out there again and maybe this time we can actually get the kite in the air!! LOL

26 years!!

WOW!! i can't believe how fast time fly's. I got to celebrate my 26th Birthday. It's just so hard to think that time goes by that fast. I feel like it was just yesterday that I was waiting to turn 21 and now I have five years on that. I has a wonderful day though. We got up and went easter egg hunting with Wyatt and one of my friends and her kids. Then we went to lunch just Ben and I, it was great to have time just us. Friday afternoon one of my really good friends came up, and I got to spend time with her for the first time since Thanksgiving. Friday evening we went out to a dance club with some friends. All and all it was a lot of fun and I had a great Birthday.

St Patty's Day

Charlie Bit My Finger!!

I had called over to my sister Tara's house one night to speak with Jaycee. Her and I where talking about her report in class on the state of Kansas. While we where talking she asked me if I had watched a video online called " Charlie bit my Finger"? I replied that no I had not and she proceed to tell me how I get to the video and how much she felt like I needed to watch it. I tried to remember what she has said when I got of the phone and I couldn't come up with the name enough to find it online. I had completely forgot about it til this evening while talking to my little sister Kelly. I made sure that I ran to my computer and looked it up while I still had her on the phone. I thought that is was a very cute video and thought that I would share it with you. Enjoy and I hope it puts a smile on your face!!!

My Wyatt's Hair!!

Ben and I have been discussing for days on getting Wyatt a haircut. We really don't like to because his soft long hair is so cute. It's what makes Wyatt look like Wyatt to me. Well on Saturday Ben and I looked up the forecast and noticed that it was going to be gettin up in the 70's this week and we wanted to get Wyatt's hair done before the heat. It was getting late on Sunday night and so I just asked Ben why don't we just cut it like I do yours with the clippers. Ben said why not it will save us that 20 bucks. So off to the bathroom we went for my first lesson of cutting a two year olds hair. I figured it wouldn't be hard and it would be over very quickly. I started at the back and with Ben's help holding Wyatt we managed to get it done. I almost cried and it is really going to take some getting used to, but it's short for the summer and I hope he likes it!!!!

All the Places we will go!!!

WOW!! it's is only Saturday and we have had the most fun fill weekend that we have had in a long time. We where tired of being pent up all winter so this weekend we got out and explored Kansas. First thing we did was go to the Great Wolf Lodge. It was so much fun, it's an indoor waterpark, but it's not just that there is so much to do. There is an arcade in the basement and at 8:00p.m. every night they have a huge tree that comes to life and tells you bedtime stories, there is also a gift shop and so much more. Ben's mom came and met us and spent sometime with Wyatt. Friday we came home and rested for the evening. Saturday morning the fun started all over again. We got up and went to this pond they have in one of the local cemetry's. I know that sounds weird now that I say it. Anyways there is a pond and it has lots of ducks that come and land. We like to take our bread and feed them. Wyatt loves it and he usually ends up chasing the ducks all over. After the ducks were full, we drove up to the bowling alley that my friend works at and Wyatt got to bowl for the very first time. He didn't like the ball appearing out of no where when it popped out of the hole, but he did like watching the ball roll down and hit the pins. It was funny cause when he would push the ball it would go so slow that Wyatt would get board before the ball was even close to the pins. The next adventure that we got to go on was my other friends little boy was have a birthday party at a pool. So we got to go and eat an ice cream cake and swim some more. Wyatt loved the water and had so much fun going down the frog slide. He would go and play with the water that kept the slide wet until he had a line of kids behind him and then he would go down. All of the kids tried to hurry so that they weren't the on to get stuck behind Wyatt cause he took so long. We are now home and have a whole day left in our weekend. I can't wait to see what's instore!!!

Wonderscope!!

This weekend we wanted to get out and see something new. We also needed to go to a Muesum for a paper that I had do in Art. I looked up different Muesums online and found one for kids. I figured we could get Wyatt out and let him play and so my homework at the same time. We had so much fun, they had so many different rooms with all sorts of different things to do in each room. I think the room that we had the most fun in was the Speedway. It was a room that had a lot of golf balls and they had different things that you could do like try to make them in a tube. Wyatt had so much fun watching the balls go around and letting them go down the ramps. There was also a health room and Wyatt took really good care of the people in the sick house. He also did a very good job with helping a little boy check out at the grocery counter. Wyatt got to run the cash register as the little boy put his groceries on the counter. Well I just thought that I would share that with all my blogger friends!!!
