Wyatt Turns 2!

On February our little Wild-Guy turned two. You can only imagine how he got that nickname...but boy do we love our little man!

The many faces of Wyatt!!!

He loves his bottle, especially when there is 'coke' in it!

When I ask him where his mouth is, he opens it nice and wide!

He loves to take a bath, and every time he hears the water turn on, he goes running to the bath tub!

He is always covered in dirt, so I have to pour cups of water over him to get him clean!

We went up to Pappa and Grandma's along with the Hull family to have a bbq for his birthday! He had fun opening his presents, and out of everything he got, his toy car was his favorite. Glad he is easy to please! He is obsessed with anything that has wheels and rolls!

His new car.

We got him this little ride on, so he doesn't have to fight with Averi over the tricycle to ride anymore!

He didn't quite understand blowing out the candles and he proceeded to touch the flame with his fingers...'hot!'...., but he enjoyed the cake!

Such a cute little boy!

In asking the family about our Wild-Guy, here is what they had to say:

Steve: monster

Mom: he keeps me on my toes. I love his kisses and listening to him say new words. Of course my favorite is "love you!" He has the best facial expressions, and I laugh at him all the time cause he makes the same expressions as his dad. He is a little mini-me to Steve!

Gavin: he makes me get up all night to refill his bottle. He always tried to get into bed with me. He loves it when I give him piggyback rides.

Ethan: He likes trucks. He likes to make a mess!

Averi: I like to play with him. He's a stinker!

Valentines Day 2010

Valentines Day was Steve and my 12th anniversary. You would think that I would be able to post a picture of us together, but I don't have any recent ones of just us! Go figure.... He did get these amazingly beautiful flowers for me, even though I told him that we weren't getting each other anything this year! We are going away for the night to Kernville this weekend, and we are both really looking forward to it! Almost two weeks later and the flowers still look beautiful! They are the same kind that was in my wedding bouquet at our reception in Utah!
I love Valentines Day and I always get some little gift for the kids!

Wyatt got a toy motorcycle that he carried around all day long!

I tie-dyed a shirt for Averi and Steve got her a heart necklace with matching earrings!

I also tie-dyed a onesie for Reagen and got a new little dress for her!

For the life of me I could not figure out what to get for Ethan and Gavin. However, these last two weeks they have fought (literally physically) over the one body pillow that they have to sleep with. They used to sleep in the same bed so it wasn't a problem, but we have separated them recently, so it is tears every night over this one pillow!....So, I found a really good sale on body pillow, and they were so happy, and me too because now there is no more nightly arguments!

I did get Steve a present even though I said I wasn't going too. I figured after being married to me for the last twelve years....he deserved it:)!

To Clean Or Not To Clean?

Why is it when mom says she needs help cleaning the house........Everyone runs the opposite way except my two helpers????

And they actually do a pretty good job!

Got Milk?

Got Milk???

4 Months Old!

Hard to believe that Reagen is now four months old! What a sweet little girl she is! I had to show off the matching dresses that I made for the girls. It is so much fun having two to sew for!

Wyatt

Averi goes to preschool on Tues/Thurs mornings, so I am home with just Wy and Reagen. Wyatt has taken an interest in his little sister lately, and he wants to be like his big brothers and hold her all the time. I have to let him do it, or he tries to pick her up all by himself!

Then, after about ten seconds of 'holding' her...he's done and realizes that she just isn't as interesting as his trucks!

Christmas 2009

Steve and I always get the kids pajamas that they get to open on Christmas Eve. So after, I wanted to get a picture of all 5 before they headed to bed. (not as easy as I thought it would be!)

Take 1......oops, forgot Reagen!

Take 2....

Take 3......

Take 4.....anyone wondering why we call him "Wild-Guy?"

Take 5.....

Take 6....ok, I give up!

The children we nestled, all snug in Mom's bed........The kids have made it a tradition to sleep with me on Christmas Eve, which is actually kind of fun because we sing carols and then wait to try and hear the reindeer hoofs on the roof! Low and behold, I don't get much rest that night!

Oh the surprise on their faces in the morning when they see that Santa has come!

Wyatt got a new toy garage that goes along perfect with his love of anything that rolls!

There were boardgames......

And watches.....

And luckily there is a Santa to bring the boys their Nintendo DS's that they wanted so badly, cause they know that mom is highly against gaming systems and would never buy them one! (when they wanted a PlayStation, I made them buy it with their own money!)

Averi loved her new ponies and petshops!

And Reagen was just cute and slept through most of the opening of presents!

We played it easy for the day, since it was Steve's first day off in awhile, and enjoyed our Smith Family traditional breakfast that Steve stayed up very late cooking on Christmas Eve after he got home from work. It was a wonderful time, and I found myself disappointed a couple of days later when Steve took down the tree to make space in the living room!
