Longview vs North Little Rock and 3 weekends of some family fun

I have been trying to think of what to blog about..because all of this just seems normal. Then again, the entire blog is about our normal! So this post is not super exciting...but it is what we have been doing the past three weeks.  A whole lot of runs, wagon rides, short hikes, grilling, fort making, and playing. Kind of like a permanent camping vacation in the "country." I know what you are thinking..but you live your life on a permanent camping vacation... well the past few weeks have felt even more this way!

We went to the football game I mentioned in my last post. Let me just say it was HOT! The cool front had not made its way here yet. I think wrestling a 13 month old adds a whole new level to the sweating aspect of sitting in the stands watching a sporting event. It really raises the level of sweat! HA! No really, thank goodness we were able to move over a seat  because the person beside me was out of control.... Wyatt did really well during the game after we stripped him down to a onesie. He will actually pay attention to the commotion on the field and flirt with anyone around us. We decided after half time to move up to the top so he could sleep in the stroller. He never went to sleep, but it was nice to have a little airflow. We had a lot of fun at the game and had plans to go to a different towns homecoming football game next week. 

Sunday we spent some time at the park..even went down the slide for the first time! Daniel is all about letting his boy go for it!

The next Friday, the football game didn't happen. The sky opened up and we decided while on our way to duck out of the game. Wyatt also had (to this day) his best meltdown ever! HA! He will love me for that someday! Part of the meltdown could have been because we discovered that night that his feet had grown in a week and none of his shoes fit. So on Saturday we set out to find him a few pairs of shoes. This was the first time we had actually been shoe shopping for him. Um.. yeah that wasn't easy at all. Boy shoes are soooo hard to get on! In the past I had just picked up a pair here and there,  roughly knew what size he wore, and we always got lucky! Lesson learned on not letting him run out of shoes! HA!

This was also Daniel's birthday weekend. I had tentatively planned a camping trip but, with all the rain we decided against it. We grilled a nice dinner at home, hiked on Sunday, made and played with homemade play-dough for the first time, and camped in the living room. FYI**I will stick to buying the Play-Dough unless the kind you cook is easier than I think. I made the no cook kind and it was a little sticky. Wyatt had fun regardless. Daniel liked his birthday presents and was a happy camper with a few new Houndstooth shirts and a Hogs and Horns canvas! Happy Birthday Daniel! I love you!

The kiddo has also developed a love for playing with his cars. He loves to sit on the floor, push them around, and make a va-room noise. We think it is adorable! We celebrated another month passed on the 21st.  14 months! Can't believe it! He loves to feed himself and is talking all the time. He is also copying us in almost everything we do and tries to on what we say. We better be careful now! HA!

14 months!

 Last weekend, Wyatt wasn't feeling well.  We ended up at the doctors office on Monday. (After the fun task of finding a new doctor from the move.) We waited entirely to long (as in hours) and ultimately left with a virus and possible ear infection. He is feeling much better...but this week was a little tough on mama! I have said it before and I will say it again...I am not sure how all you other mama's do it with more than one sick kiddo. Bless you and your hard work!

Daniel has been hard at work trying to finish this class ahead of schedule. So far so good and I think he will be done this weekend. I am so proud of him in regards to his last class. Ahead of the game and great feedback from his mentor!!! Go Daniel Go! I truly admire him for going back after all these years..married, kiddo, working. He has inspired several of his friends to seriously think about going back to school regardless of the degree.  A few have even made the jump! I know this makes him proud and determined!   

We have a busy weekend! Can't wait to blog all about it!
