Wyatts First Christmas

Well Christmas has come to an end. I must say I think December 26th is a bummer of a day. I love the Christmas season and the fun that comes with it. This season was especially great with Wyatt now apart of our little family. With Matt working at Target we didn't get to do as much as we would have liked but we got a few Christmas movies in and that's our favorite Christmas activity, if you wanna call it that. Matt has now quit Target in case you were wondering. On a spiritual note (I try not to be cheesy on here but hey its Christmas), I thought a lot about Mary this year and was able to relate with her on the love she must of had for her son. In a weird way I feel connected to her now and she'll forever hold a special place in my heart and hopefully not just around the holidays. Here's a few pictures we took of our little Christmas Angel... okay that was pushin it, our little Wy guy.

Isn't he handsome?

This is what we dealt with the last few days til Christmas. The presents were calling his name.

Wyatt has learned to roll everywhere.
If there was a class on how to get from point A to point B rolling, Wyatt could teach it. He is very professional.

This is Wyatt Christmas morning with his toys. He is enjoying the taste of a dump truck driver.

This is what he did with all his presents.

This was taken this morning. Dad suggested mom sleep in (that should have been my first clue) and gave Wyatt a pile of Christmas toys while he played Playstation 2 Lego Batman.
Did I marry a 13 year old? Ahh who cares I got to sleep in.

Matt Graduated!

Wyatt enjoyed the program very much... literally.

Hi Matt!

I am so proud of Matt. He graduated from Weber State University on Friday. He graduated Magna Cum Laude which is a 3.8 grade point average. What a smarty pants.
Bring on the big bucks baby!

This Chicken Is Not Allowed To Cross The Road

Halloween 2009

We spent about 20 bucks on this costume. I figure we paid a dollar for every minute he wore it. What a cute little chicken! Money well spent.

HELP!

There's a bear hibernating in my living room!

What a pumpkin

We took Wyatt to Gardner Village to take a few photos.
He was too curious about the dirt and leaves to look up at the camera.

Look, 3 pumpkins!

By this time he was just giving us dirty looks.

Little did we know one of the cutest pictures we'd get was in the car. On our way to Gardner Village the back seat was quieter than usual. When we parked and got out this is what we discovered. Poor baby has a couple of idiots for parents. He decided to make the best of his situation and take a nap. What a sweetheart.

Solids are for grown ups!

This is Wyatts first time eating rice cereal. As you can see he was excited to give it a try.

Hmmm?

Needless to say he didn't love it.

But he ate it anyways.

Seasonal Bliss

Every fall I look forward to Cranberry Splash Sierra Mist and Taco Times pumpkin empanadas.
I highly recommend you give them a try while they last.

The Apple of My Eye

To keep his trim figure he exersauces 15 minutes a day

His toes are his favorite snack

Swimming anyone?

And he is always learning new tricks

I just love him

Mmmmmm...

Today I thought I saw a girl buy a giant Twix. Unfortunately it was my wonderful imagination. Wouldn't that be the greatest thing on the planet?... a single giant Twix. I'm seriously considering writing the Mars company.

Happy Fathers Day

In honor of Fathers Day this Sunday I wanted to post about Matt. I knew Matt was going to be a great dad when I married him but seeing him as a father has been really fun. Here are some of my favorite Matt moments, a top 10 if you will but in no particular order.

Matts Top 10 Dad Moments, by Kim

1. To Wyatt waking up multiple times in the middle of the night his response to me "Just be patient" as he rolls over and begins sawing logs... I could have smothered him with his pillow.

2. To Wyatt waking up from a nap after not seeing him all day... "Yes!" as he runs up the stairs to get him.

3. Hogging bath time... I've bathed him once.

4. Blessing Wyatt in church. Thanks Matty.

5. Deciding it would be fun to take Wyatt for a walk and he screamed the whole way home.

6. Making Wyatt hug him until he grunts and actually pushes him away... its really funny.

7. Fighting with me over who gets to push the stroller... I'm not joking.

8. Sitting down to dinner at my moms completely forgetting we have a child as my hungry sister-in-law is stuck holding Wyatt.

9. Nicknames Matt made up for Wyatt, "Stinks" and "Kicks and Wiggles", so fitting.

10. Bravely sitting at Wyatts side when he was circumcized and immunized. Moms aren't that brave.

We sure do love our daddy. Happy Fathers Day babalicious!

Long Time Mormon, First Time Mom

Well here I am blogging... I'm a blogger... I blog. Matt decided I needed a hobby so he insisted I become a blogger. What TV, eating and sleeping are not hobbies? I beg to differ. Anywho I decided to take his challenge, I mean after all I am a mom now. I have always thought blogging was for LDS stay at home moms who wanted to boast about their children and their latest crafts or new recipes. To be honest reading blogs has been a great past time for me at work. I would look forward to a good LDS mom entry as I snickered to myself. So to all those Mormon mom bloggers out there that I secretly made fun of I must apologize. I have to admit I can now relate to them (except for the crafts and new recipes... ugh) and their "bragging" if you will. As I've said everyday since Wyatt arrived... its a total cliche but the love you have for your child is undescribeable. He is a total dream... my world will never be the same as I knew it and I don't want it to be. Although he is the greatest blessing I confess its been challenging as well... waking up in the middle of the night, breast feeding every three hours, cabin fever from not leaving the house, crying and not knowing what in the H is wrong, just to name a few. I have also become a "worry wart", as my Grandma would say. I worry he's not eating enough or he's eating too much or that he's too cold or too warm, that he poops too much or not enough... its a vicious cycle. I am really trying my darndest not to worry though... I mean he's still alive and that should say something about our parenting right? In closing I'd just like to say I wouldn't change it for a million trillion dollars and quit frankly I could really use a few bucks. As the Mastercard commercials would say "he's priceless".
Well there you have it, my first blog entry. Hopefully I will keep it up... who knows maybe I will become crafty or cook something one day.
