Crazy Wyoming

This year for the 4th we went up to Evanston with my mom, brother, his wife, and some of their friends. Peter's mom was nice enough to let ALL three boys sleep over, as we were going to be late returning home. Evanston for the 4th is beyond crazy. Tons of people go to this one park so they can see the Evanston city firework show but also to light off all of their big fireworks. And these are not just little fountains, their fireworks are the big, loud, bright and dangerous ones. It was so much fun. All around you there are fireworks going off, we were hit by some fireworks, some guys trunk with his fireworks caught on fire and the field across the street caught on fire. It was pure madness, but pure fun! I couldn't stop smiling!! We are definitely going again next year.

Wyatt's Blessing

On Sunday July 4th we blessed Wyatt. Peter did a great job and Wyatt was perfectly behaved. Wyatt was blessed in the same outfit that Peter, Aydan, and Sam was blessed in. It was so special to have all the boys share that special outfit. We had a fun lunchon after the blessing and I was too busy eating all the yummy food to take any pictures. But it was a great day, and it was fun to have the whole family together. Thanks to everyone that came and to those that brought food! And thanks to my boys and husband for being so cute!!

New Pics

Did a quick photo shoot at Target with the boys. It really was for Sam's 2 year old pictures but decided to get some of all the cute boys together too. I think it worked out pretty well, love my boys!!

Little Wyatt

Today was Wyatt's two month doctors appointment. We weighs 11 lbs, 13 oz (53%) and is 23 1/2 inches long (72%). And he took his three shots like a champ! He is doing great and sleeping even better. He on average will sleep 8 hours at night! Thank goodness. Sam didn't sleep through the night until he was almost 2. We are super excited that we have a good sleeper and a good baby. He is a very calm baby, not much of a crier, enjoys just being held or lying on the couch watching his brothers play. Wyatt has been a great blessing in our lives and great addition to our family. We love you Wyatt!

Dead to the world.

His favorite thing, being held.

Look at that smile.

Favorite outfit, Pearl Jam shirt.

Cutest baby ever!!

Parents Trip

On June 4th me and Peter, just me and Peter, headed to California for a wedding. It was a short 4 day trip with lots of driving, but we had so much fun. Me and Peter have not had that sort of time together in a long while, so it was nice to hang out, have fun and laugh. The first night we drove to Vegas and spent a short 8 hours there, including sleep. Before we arrived in Vegas we came upon a horrible motorcycle accident. 5 motorcycles and a car were involved, and we happen to be the first ones there. Pretty bad and icky. Thankfully they were all wearing helmets but they were still really hurt. Going 80 mph and hitting a car causes lots of damage to the human body! We were stuck there for almost 4 hours so didn't get to Vegas until 2am, then had to wake up early to get to the wedding in California. The wedding was really nice and Peter was especially happy we were able to see one of his best friends get married. Then the next day we drove again to Vegas, this time we had plenty of time to hang out and relax. We didn't even make it to the strip. We stayed by the pool and went to a movie. People watching in Vegas is the best! Then on Monday we headed home. We loved our little vacation together but we both were excited to get home and see the boys.

Baseball Stuff

Aydan just finished his first season of baseball. He of course loved it, me and Peter not so much. It is a little boring to watch ten kids all try to hit the ball. But it is worth going and seeing Aydan having fun and being goofy.

Cute Aydan.

Look at that hit.

Graduation

Aydan has graduated from preschool! I can't believe that he is going to be in kindergarten. Life goes by to fast. My baby is getting so big and independent. Aydan has has a great time this year, learned so much and even had his first girlfriend. We were lucky to find his preschool teacher, she exceeded our expectations. She was so kind and patient with the kids, Aydan just loved her and loved going to school. He is going to do awesome in kindergarten, we are so proud of how much Aydan has grown and all that he has learned. Thanks Miss Mindy!

Aydan does not like crowds, so no singing for him.
