First Day of School: Wyatt- 1st Grade and Livvy Kindergarten

Gingerbread love

We sure had a blast on our annual Gingerbread house FHE. Ike was even serious about it this year. He loved it as much as the big kids.

Ikers is 2

Ike turned 2 and went overnight from being my sweet baby to a holy terror. He likes to watch Baby Einstein sprawled out on the floor and wants everyone to do what he says NOW! But we sure have so much fun with him. We took him to Hop 2 it for his birthday and then had a family party as well. This kid is so fun!

Livvy is so cool

She learned how to tie her shoes today and is so excited that she can't stand it. AND she has her first loose tooth. She is growing up so fast.

Halloween

We had a super fun Halloween this year with a black Spiderman, a witch, and a giraffe ( but don't tell Ike that he was a giraffe. I only got him in the costume by telling him that he was a horse. What a stubborn stinker!)

First sentence

It was opening weekend of Bow Hunting here so I was a hunting widow this weekend. I bought some Shasta on sale for the kids while Shelby was gone. Friday night- Ike said his first complete sentence:

'More Pop Please'

yep- You can award me the 'Mom of the Year' Award at any time.

Note: His second sentence was 'Love U Mommy'

Livvy Hearts Donuts

Livvy loves to make cards. She made a beautiful one the other day with a large chocolate donut colored on the front. She asked me how to spell donut and then kept working on her card for several minutes. Finally she brought it to show to me and said 'Mom! Look what I wrote! I sounded it out all by myself!'

It read:

DONUTS R DELSHUS

OR:

Donuts are delicious

Love it.

Wyatt's Fashion Sense

I came home from Afton's Bachelorette Party tonight (total blast!) to tuck my kiddos into bed. I was wearing a thick 'fashion' belt. Wyatt gave me a hug and said 'Night Mom' and started to walk away- then turned and said 'Wow Mom- nice Power Morpher you have on!' Apparently, my belt is all the rage amongst the Power Rangers. Who knew I was so cool?

My own personal anthem-

The girl I'm going to marry

I swear the best conversations in this house all happen while I'm flipping pancakes :). Shelby's little brother Shane is getting married this August- so there has been lots of wedding talk going on around here lately. Wyatt was telling me all about the girl that he is going to marry someday- She is going to be oh so nice. She is going to have blonde hair and blue eyes.....and I will really like her because she is going to be fun and beautiful.

Out of living room---Shelby says-'Wyatt! You don't want to marry those blonde girls with blue eyes.....they're crazy!'

Thanks a lot honey. :0)
