Who likes ice cream?

Wyatt likes ice cream....he was literally licking it out of the bowl!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

We had a great St. Patrick's Day today. We started our day with our usual breakfast out at the local donut shop. Owen and Wyatt had green frosted donuts....yummy!

After breakfast Owen and I ran all kinds of crazy errands and picked out Easter outfits...so fun! He is also going to his first "friend" birthday party next weekend so we picked up a gift for that too while we were out.

When we got home Wyatt was up from his nap and playing outside. We planted these mini blue spruces last fall....he has never been interested with them until tonight.
My boy decked out in green.
Cheese!

I took this picture before we went grocery shopping tonight. Wyatt discovered the well tonight too, a night of discoveries for this kid, and he kept sitting on it....it was too cute! Of course as soon as I ran to get my camera he was "all done"! What a stinker!

I hope you all enjoyed your day today.....we sure did!

Walks with Wyatt

This is what Wyatt does while we are on walks in our neighborhood....he just sits in the middle of the street and won't move. Thankfully our sub is very quiet in regards to motor vehicle traffic. I don't know if his shoes are bothering him or what but he just sits down and starts to whimper a bit.....we learned to take the stroller with us so Kris and I don't have to carry him for the majority of our outing...

Wyatt

It's hard for me to believe that this kid is almost two years old. It is truly amazing how fast time goes by and I know it sounds so cliche but I keep on telling myself to slow down and soak it all in. He was hating that I was trying to take pictures of him. As soon as I would have the perfect opportunity he would say "no" or "all done" and get up in a hurry and run away from me.

Playing on the swing set.

He doesn't require any assistance on the swing set....he has it mastered!Pushing around his big truck.

What a tough guy!

We were outside almost all night long. It was super! I can't wait for the weather to stay like this. I'm sure it will get cold again, but for now we are taking advantage of every minute we can.

Owen

I had some one on one quality time with Owen this afternoon while Wyatt was napping. We played outside and it was GORGEOUS! Owen pulled his chair to a shady area of our yard to rest a bit from swinging on his swing and playing in the dirt. Hanging out.Loading up his truck with some dirt. Playing with his bulldozer.

Ready to go down the hill in the bucket of his dumptruck.

And he's off........

Pushing the truck back up the hill and ready to do it all over again, and again, and again....I can't say how much I love this weather. It makes me feel alive again! I'm hoping to be able to start 'jogging' soon if my body allows it. For now though, I'm thankful for the walks I've been able to enjoy with my boys. I can't wait until I'm done working today so we can head outside again and enjoy the day with Wyatt too.

Outdoor fun

What a gorgeous day we had today! We headed outside after I got done working and enjoyed some fresh air and sunshine.

The boys are fascinated with the lines in the sky that jets make. I learned tonight that they are called contrails. I had to take a picture of this one, it was perfect! And I explained to Owen that it made an upside "A" or a "V". Owen thought that was pretty cool. It was awesome! I tried out some new settings on my phone and took this picture of Wy while we were out for a walk. I love this setting...it's called vintage! (I didn't even know I had settings to choose from, so it was a cool find for me)

This setting is called beautiful....

The boys running "free" on the path behind our house. I had to carry Wyatt half of the way, but it was a good sweet little cuddle.

Another choke hold from Owen.

I found a house in our sub that has their mailbox surrounded by brick. I was hoping for a cool picture and I think it turned out pretty neat.

I know they were kind of dirty. We had finished dinner and they had been playing outside for a while and their hair wasn't done, and they didn't have on cute outfits, but I love them anyway....they are my boys....my boys how they are every day, plain and simple without all the extras that I put them through. Love. Them. So. Much.

Lazy night

We had a pretty good day today. After I worked we headed outside and enjoyed some decent weather. We played on the play structure, went for a walk and attempted a bike ride, but Owen wasn't up for trying to ride his bike alone so we ended up just playing in the yard.

We came inside a while ago and got ready for beddie time. Here is our sweet baby boy who is almost 2 years old!! Check out how long he is!

Watching tv and Owen being goofy.

and still being goofy.Cuddly boys. Check out O's lip, it is now a huge blister.......gross!I think when Wy can handle himself, he is going to sock Owen in the face one of these days for all of these bear hugs around the neck.

My loves!

I think they had enough by now.....but I think I got some cute ones.

So now we are all comfy and cozy and waiting for the storms to arrive. Apparently we are supposed to have severe thunderstorms tonight. Should be a nice night to cuddle with my boys.
