Sports!

Wyatt has been playing soccer at school since January. He really enjoys it. It is a great introduction to sports. There are no games or anything. They teach him the fundamentals of soccer and sportsmanship. He has so much fun, so we decided it was time to try out tball. He has had a couple of practices. We weren't really sure how it would go. He is on a 3 year old team. He had his first game on Saturday. He did great and he was so excited. This is him before the game! Notice the colors;) We are on the bulldogs and our colors are maroon and white. I don't know how that happened.

My big, handsome boy!

Going to bat for the first time!

Running the bases!

Score!

I am one proud mama! He did great for his first game.

Sickness

Well, yet again I have gotten behind on blogging. It has just been so busy lately! First of all, right after Lilly got over RSV and ear infections she got pink eye. No big deal right? Wrong! She had an allergic reaction to the eye drops and her eye was swollen shut! We ended up being out an entire week of daycare/work! Then she got another ear infection and a boil. We have finally gotten over all of that and now she has allergy problems. I swear, she is just constantly sick. But she is getting germs from daycare and Wyatt and us. I can only hope it will slack off sometime soon.

I got pink eye from Lilly a couple of weeks ago. I am now having other eye trouble. Other than that I have been pretty healthy but busy! School has been really busy especially now that we are in testing mode! Thomas went out of town to a training in Decatur, Alabama last week. So I had both kids by myself. I was only by myself for a week. My hats off to you Christine Bothel, I don't know how you do it! We all missed him terribly and we are glad he's back!

Wyatt has been pretty healthy. He is learning so much at school! I am constantly amazed at how much he's learning. He now knows his colors, alphabet, numbers to about 15, months of the year, days of the week, the pledge of allegiance, and numerous songs. He is just such a smart and curious boy! More about Wyatt in the next post though.

Lilly turns 1!

I can't believe my little girl has turned one! She is such a joy to be around and she is learning new things everyday! She turned one on the 5th. She was at school that day and they had a little birthday cake there for her and her class. On the weekend we had her birthday party at my parents' house in Centreville. The theme was "Whooo's turning One?" (aka: owls). It was a really great party! The kids had so much fun! And Lilly got some great presents ans lots of clothes!

This was her in her special party outfit. She loved the tutu!

My pretty girl!

This is Wyatt eating lunch! Such a great big brother.
Enjoying her chicken.
This is all of the kids eating. There was 1 five year old, 3 three year olds, 3 one year olds, and a 2 month old. Wow! It's funny because these are all from my mom's side of the family and at least 2 people are usually pregnant at the same time.

A picture of all 8 of my grandparents great grand kids. Quite the lively crew we have! From left to right: Lilly, Wyatt, Evie, Cecelia, Anders, Valerie, Hailey, and Gabby.
Sweet babies.
Lilly's cake. This was made by a sorority sister of mine that lives in Jackson. She does this one the side and she is fabulous! She definitely needs to do this full time!

Needless to say she loved the cake!
We had Lilly's check up this week. It was not so good. She started to get sick the day of her party (Sunday). When we went for her check up the doctor looked at her and could tell she didn't feel well so he did a test and sure enough she has RSV and ear infections in both ears. We are on medicine and she seems to be feeling much better now. However, she did not get her shots, we will have to go back for those. She is growing great! She is 22 pounds 1 ounce and 29 inches long. She did not gain but a pound since her last check up but gained about 2 inches. She is really stretching out! Anyway until next time.

Christmas 2011

So, I have a little catching up to do. This is my Christmas post and its January 13th. I'm a little behind. We had a really great Christmas. Christmas Eve we went to church and took it easy. Lilly was a little under the weather but she was much better on Christmas Day. Christmas morning we woke up and discovered we had a visitor in the middle of the night. He left us some goodies. Wyatt was so excited! He really got into it this year. My parents and sister came over that morning also to open presents with us.

This was one of Wyatt's presents. It was a tool workbench with lots of tools. (Note to self: Don't get toys that have 85 pieces! Ha Ha!)

This was Lilly's Santa present. A kitchen. It is really great because as she gets bigger we can expand it and it will get taller.
This was Nani and Papa's gift to Lilly. Her very own pink car with a trailer.

Wyatt playing with his Toy Story Lego set from Izzie. (More pieces!)

Later in the afternoon Thomas's sister, Angie and her daughter, Danielle and her family came over. This is Danielle's daughter Hallie.

It rained most of the day but during a break Thomas took Wyatt and Danielle's son Losson outside and popped some firecrackers. The boys loved it!

Overall, it was a great Christmas and a memorable one since it was Lilly's first one.
