The Letter B

We worked a lot last week and did a lot of playing.  I am just now getting around to updating about it.  We focused on the letter B.  We did a lot of activities with the letter B.  We also focused on potty training the week before that so Lilly is now potty trained! Whew! Here are some pictures from our week.

We went swimming alot in our blow up pool in the back yard.  It was Hot!  By the way, that is our puppy Layla by the pool.  I don't know if I mentioned her in our last post.  We adopted her in May.She is a very sweet puppy and I will say she has a ton of puppy in her.

We played with bubbles.

 Wyatt is really into playing on the computer right now.  I am considering getting a membership to ABC mouse if anyone knows if its any good let me know.

 In Bible, we learned about the word covenant.  We made rainbows with fruit loops.  Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of the finished product.

 We also went to the Children's Museum where we are members.  They have traveling exhibit right now of Bob the Builder.  Needless to say Wyatt loves it.

 Wyatt and Bob.  I couldnt' get a picture with Lilly in it because she was screaming and climbing me.  Bob kind of freaked her out.

 Wyatt also learned to ride his bike without training wheels this week.  He loves doing it!  Such a big boy!

 This is some art they did at the Children's Museum.  They called it yo-yo painting.  It was basically beans inside pantyhose and they bounced it on the paper.

 Wyatt is really into painting lately, especially rainbows.  He even gets the colors in the right order! (ROY G BIV)

 And of course Lilly couldn't be left out!

 My pretty girl!

He looks so big!

 This is whipped cream painting at the Children's Museum.  I think Lilly ate more that painted.

 We also made bird feeders to put in the yard.

 And of course our "Bees".

We made brownies as a treat for the week.

 I had extra fruit loops so we strung them on strings to make necklaces.

We had a ton of fun this week!  And we did a lot more that I didn't get pictures of!

The Next Chapter

Wow!  I can't believe it has been so long since I have posted on this!  Thanks for busting me out this summer Blakeley!  Well this first post back I guess will be a short update to what has been going on here.  And hopefully I will be updating it alot more from now on.

Well, first off the kids are doing great Wyatt will be 5 years old on September 3rd.  (I can't believe that!) and Lilly is 2 1/2 years old.  Wyatt is all boy!  He loves to go camping, hunting, fishing, swimming, anything outdoors, and anything rough!  Little Miss Lillian is my priss pot.  She loves anything girly!  She has to carry her purse around everywhere she goes (with at least 2 cell phones in it), loves to play dress up, princesses, painting her nails, and changing at least 4 times a day.

I have had a lot going on in the last couple of months.  I decided not to go back to work, so I am at home full time now.  We put down new floors, so our house has been under construction the last couple of months.  On June 1st, I fell at the river after kayaking with the family and broke my left arm.  And now I am adjusting to staying home with the kids full time.  I have to say though, through all of this my faith has deepened and I have had to learn I cannot do everything and I will need to ask for help at sometimes.  I really feel that I am where I need to be, doing what God wants me to do.

Thomas is doing well.  He is working very hard at work.  He is working a lot of overtime to make up for me not bringing home a paycheck.  Thomas is being very supportive of me doing what I want to do, which is staying home with the kids.  so between working on the house and work at Nissan he is a very busy man.

I hope to document our time at home on this blog and be able to look back and see the fun things we did.  I have a lot planned for this year.  Wyatt will be starting soccer in the next couple of weeks and Lilly will be starting dance classes.  I have joined a Bible study for moms at our church that will start soon as well.  I am also still teaching a older 3year old Sunday School class at church.  Stay tuned for the next chapter in the Adventures of the Motts.
