A fun week

I sure do hate that two weeks have gone by since I last updated the blog… maybe someday I can get back into my routine of updating it every week.  Everyone has been doing great lately and I’m so thankful! I sure am loving this cooler fall weather and I’m so glad football season is here!



My little Wyatt turned 10 months old last Saturday and it’s so hard to belive he’ll be ONE in two months. This has been the fastest year of my life without a doubt. He went to his 9 month appt last Friday and weighed in at 18 lbs 14 oz and was 28 ½ inches long. At every appointment, he seems to be one pound less than what Waylon was. OH!!! Big news, I almost forgot to share… he also started crawling last week. It happened at Nana and Grandaddy’s so they were able to get it on video. YAY!!! He’s so cute crawling too :) He hasn’t got the speed Waylon had yet, but just moves his little fanny back and forth.


Waylon has been doing things out of the blue that really make us laugh. The weekend before last, he (all of the sudden) started cleaning his room and throwing his toys into his toy bin. I left the room and then heard the door close, which he does sometimes, and when I went back in, his room was spotless. He had even lined the big toys up against the window. I might be asking him to vaccum and mop since he does such a good job cleaning :) Of course, I had to take some pictues…

I think he ran out of room in his toy bin, so he put some things in his basketball goal- HA HA

Friday after Wyatt’s appointment, we met Aunt Krinny and Olivia at the zoo.  We were going to have lunch with Lynn-z and Peedee aftewards, but they decided to meet us at the zoo.  We had a good time.  They really liked the train.  The boys were in their stroller most of the time, but shortly before we left, I let Waylon out of his stroller because it was hard for him to see certain things.  First thing he did was start running and sure enough, he fell and scraped his knees.  He didn’t even cry.  I told him not to run, but walk (as I overexaggerated my walking steps) and he listened to me and walked the rest of the time.  Olivia was so sweet with both of them while we were there.  She even held Waylon’s hand so he wouldn’t run, which leads me to post the picture of the week.  It may be the cutest picture I’ve ever taken J

Some more pictures from the zoo.

Saturday we went to Grady’s 2^nd Birthday party.  He is so cute and I hate that I didn’t get a picture of him.  The two I took came out extremely dark.  It was a fire truck themed party and the boys got hats, a little stuffed dalmation and a goodie box.  Waylon kept running off to the playground every chance he could get (when he wasn’t eating a cup full of M & M’s- which explains the chocolate face).  They had such a good time!

Nana has taken some cute pictues of them the past couple of weeks.  They are always so hard to choose from to put on the blog. Here is just a small sample of some of the

So that’s what we’ve been up to lately.  Here are a few more pics from around the house. 

I'm a slacker :)

And I was doing so good keeping up the blog. Well, it has been a busy two weeks. We had someone that was intrested in our house, so we spent a lot of time cleaning and getting our house ready to show. Our realtor hasn’t heard from him, so I guess he’s not interested anymore. We had really gotten our hopes up because he came to look twice. Oh well, HIS loss! The right person will come along.




I have also been getting things ready to sell at Kids Market. Wasn’t really aware of how much time that takes, until I got started. Took everything yesterday after work, and let me tell ya, I’m soooo glad that is over with (until next season ) Hopefully I will make a decent amount.


We have had fun the past two weeks, though. Labor Day weekend, we went to Guntersville State Park for a day. We took them to the playground and the beach, so they really enjoyed it. It felt so good outside that day. I can’t wait until Fall! Here are a couple of pictures I took of Wyatt lying on his blanket. I just love black and white photos!

I took so many pictures while we were there, you can check out all of them by clicking on this link:

The most exciting thing that’s happened since I last posted, is that Eric finished putting the swing set together. Still needs to be pressure washed and stained, but not too shabby! Waylon loves going down the slide…

Both Waylon and Wyatt are doing great at the moment. Yesterday I noticed that one of Wyatt’s top teeth is finally coming in. I know it hurts because he didn’t want to let me open his mouth to look at it. Waylon is getting his k-9’s, but doesn’t seem to be in any pain. They have been very good and have been so much fun!




Oh, almost forgot, the picture of the week goes to Wyatt! My little buddy was so sleepy after eating and being at daycare all day, that he fell asleep in his highchair :)

The rest of the pics are just randoms from the past two weeks.  Enjoy!



Laid back week

This has really been a pretty uneventful week.  But that is GOOD!  No illnesses, no doctors visits, etc.  We didn't do much of anything over the weekend.  Just stayed at home most of the time.  We went outside for a little while, but then aunts started crawling on the blanket Wyatt was sitting on, so we went back inside.  He actually got bit on his foot and on his back!

Either Waylon has grown a little, or he is just getting really good at getting on his tippy toes.  But I learned this week that he is able to get things out of the top drawers in our kitchen.  I was playing with Wyatt in Waylon's room when I noticed that Waylon was not in there and he was being quiet where ever he was.  This usually means that he is in front of the TV sucking his thumb. Before I got up to go see, he came back in the room and laid these on carpet. I had to get on to him and tried to tell him that they could hurt him, but nevertheless, I made this the picture of the week.  Really goes to show that our week was kind of blah, doesn't it?  :)

                                                Some snapshots from the weekend...

Nana took some really cute pictures of them on Thursday.  Waylon thought it was funny when Wyatt had on the coon hat.  They also went to the zoo and rode the train.  They had a fun day!
