Well, well, well...

Getting behind is never planned, but somehow it happens so easily.  So here we go...May and June have come and gone and we are certainly digging deep into July. How does that happen? Well regardless we have been busy busy busy.

The first weekend in June we played a lot outside and ended up at the River Walk in town one Sunday afternoon. We were walking along the new area and saw an alligator swimming through town. I admit this did freak me out more than just a little! LOL!

I already blogged about our super fun trip to the zoo with MOPS friends and water hose fun.

Someone also showed their strength by doing this all by himself one afternoon.  We were impressed and worried at the same time. When the boy wants something in the sink, he will get it! We now have a counter climber!

We made a trip over to Delta Downs to keep with our annual tradition of celebrating the Kentucky Derby. This year was successful! Little guy enjoyed the races and all the excitement of looking at the horses and people watching. He really loved it!

 

 

 

We made a day trip with Stefanie on what started out as a trip to Port A and ended up in Beaumont playing at Toys R US. Someone thought that was pretty cool and he even got popcorn in Target..something mama never does!

We had fun at the last MOPS meeting of the school year. I helped put together a cute thank you note for all the Moppet workers and the group catered in a nice lunch. Wyatt and I also made fun treat bags for the Moppets in the baby room. I know we are going to miss our friends this summer hopefully, we will see them at play-dates!

Lets go..last day!

We took advantage of the wind and space letting Wyatt experience the fun of Kite flying. He thought it was so "neat" and even held the string. We were pretty amazed he was actually flying the kite!

Mother's Day weekend we decided to spend the day in Houston.  We started out eating at the always yummy and a favorite Chuy's . Then had a little fun around town followed by some time at the park. 

My guys made it a special day for me by painting a frog a few weeks before.

Thank you Daniel and Wyatt for making Mother's Day extra special. I love you guys! 

The next week became Operation One Nap Week because Wyatt had been waking up once a night at a random time and was staying awake for several hours. My sweet friend Stefanie suggested that he might need to go to one nap. In my mind of not ever having kids, I didn't realize how this would make a difference if he slept 1 nap at 3 hrs or 2 1.5 hr naps. Clearly it does! LOL! It took a little over a week of staying out of the house in the mornings for him to push it back a little and only need one nap. He is sleeping though the night and on average taking a 2 hr nap. So in order to make the operation successful, we went to the splash park, bounce house, out to lunch, ran errands, had a play-date, and kept busy. H, Meredith, Stefanie, and Wyatt and I were all on one big mission! Mission Complete!

This boy loved the bounce house and didn't stop the entire 2 hrs. He loved the slide! It was a little hard for him to climb up himself but that didn't stop him. The big kids didn't really phase him either..he just wanted to jump!

22  Months...

 

 

Up next our trip to Crystal Beach, a weekend of sickness,  Memorial Weekend,  OH and of course all of June! :)

The beach with Cousins...

Our nieces and nephews (Wyatt's first cousins and Aunt M) were in the area from Pennsylvania so Wyatt and I made a trip over to the beach to play yesterday afternoon. They have been busy visiting family and friends in Austin and Houston so we were super excited to see them!

Wyatt and I started out the day at the gym, grabbed some quick snacks at the store, and then headed toward the beach. Luckily he took a nice long nap in the car.  We arrived a few minutes early with just enough time to grab a few seashells for our Christmas tree of ornaments from our travels/places we have lived and I of course could not resist the urge to get him an adorable Crystal Beach shirt. When M and the kids arrived we ordered a pizza and had a quick lunch before heading to the beach. We found a great spot and set up to let the kids play and a nice spot for us to visit. We parked so we had shade if needed and Michelle and I were actually able to relax a little. It was fantastic! 

 The kids had so much fun playing together! They spent several hours digging in the sand, watching the birds, watching each other, chasing waves, eating snacks, having us carry them out into the waves, jumping the waves, and sitting at the edge of the beach!

 My guy loved running in circles all over the beach, telling me that was WaWa, look birds, and laughing out loud!

 
 I looked over after we had been playing and visiting for several hours to see this. I think this was a sign it was getting close to time to pack up! LOL! #takingabreak!! HA HA!

 

He was out  within minutes! Signs of a successful day! 

 

 It was a great day spent with family and a much needed way to end the last day of my 33rd year! :)

Promise I am trying to caught up on the other posts. Our MiFi sometimes (as in often) doesn't like uploading a large number of pictures to Blogger if they are large files (which they always are). I think I am getting close so don't give up on me! :)

Children's Museum

I know am behind again on blogging...whateves I will catch up someday! :)

For now enjoy this fun video of Wyatt at the Children's Museum in Lake Charles today. To say he loved it, is an understatement!





Promise to blog again very soon..
