It's finally done! (well almost)

My office is finally done,almost. Brad has a few odds and ends to finish but I think it looks so much better!




Before




After



Wyatt LOVES to help. He would get his drill and work on his "tool bench" while Brad worked on the room. They were so cute but this is as good a picture as they would let me get! (Notice the tape on Wyatts pocket, he has to wear it there, just like Dad)

He's a WHITE boy!

Wyatt is so fair skinned. I put sunscreen on him at the pool the other day but apparently it didn't work...


He now has swim trunks with a shirt!

Emma's First friends sleep over

Emma wanted to have a friends sleepover so she made these invitations and ran them to her friends house and then planned it all. They played Thursday night and watched movies with popcorn and slept in the basement. Then Friday morning they had pancakes and eggs and picnic'd on the front lawn. Then they swam in the backyard for a good portion of the afternoon. Her and Maycee have some cute little girlfriends in the neighborhood. There are always a million kids running from house to house playing.

No pictures

So sorry but the camera was forgotten for our July 4th activities. But we did celebrate! The traditional breakfast at IHOP before the Centerville parade, sitting in the heat watching the parade, and getting more than enough candy to last a lifetime were all included. Seriously--it's as bad as halloween. Wyatt enjoyed the parade this year as it was his first(that he can remember anyway, he went when he was two weeks old but pretty much slept through it). He is not a fan of the big balooga horns on the old cars but thoroughly enjoyed waving back at everyone and now as he rides up and down the sidewalk he waves at everyone and everything he passes, it's very cute! The kids decorated their bikes and rode in the childrens parade for their popcycle and even Wyatt made it about 2 blocks before he was done on his wiggle car!

The girls are doing swim lessons again this summer with Heather (THANKS A TON!) She is such a good teacher and the girls absolutely love her! Emma should have been born a fish, she could spend all day, everyday in the pool. And she's getting to be pretty good at the actual swimming part too. I told her she needs to become real good and win lots of gold medals and make me lots of money! Maycee on the other hand--is too stubborn. She loves to play in the water but anything to do with actual learning to swim is another story!

I had Wyatt screened for his language delay and they said he qualifies for early intervention which is a program with the state health department where they come to your home and work with him in his areas of need. So I am glad that maybe we can get him talking. It starts the end of the month, so we'll see how that goes. They do it in the home until he's three and then if he still needs help he moves to the school district program.

I also got my very last semester schedule for the nursing program. I got it all written down in the planner and then sighed because that overwhelming feeling is returning once again...Just got to make it through Decemeber and I will be done! It has been a journey...one more leg to go!

That about does it for us...till next time!

Happy Birthday Wyatt!

My little man turned 2!! I can't believe that he is two years old already. We love him soo much and he is a fabulous addition to our family. We didn't really celebrate on his actual birthday cuz Brad had to work and so we planned a family dinner for the Sunday after which happened to also be father's day. It is always nice to get together with family and visit and catch up...





Wyatts fave things right now are tools. He loves to build things and "help" dad in the garage. He is a VERY curious two year old and is into EVERYTHING! And he's fast so you have to be on your toes with this boy. He still has the most infectious laugh and we love him! Happy Birthday Bubba!

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT

Drum Roll Please....

Announcing the caboose of the Hyde family!

Yep that's right, Hyde baby #4 is expected to arrive December 26, 2011!

We are so excited to meet this newest member of our family!!!

The sweet life...or NOT!

Ok so I am totally into the no school thing going on right now. Yesterday I was not so totally into the rain that NEVER LET UP THE ENTIRE DAY!!!!!!! But I did get some scrapbook pictures done and me and the Bubba hung out and played cars and watched(sort of-he's not really into the movie/tv thing) mickey mouse clubhouse. And by about noon we were both going stir crazy! My little incident with the lovely borrowed car left us without a car because of the STUPID rain! (The car incident is a story for another day-a VERY funny story now I might add!) So we were stuck - in the house - all day! So maybe I'm not diggin this life right now as much as I thought...

Both of the girls have fabulous colds, and sound like barking seals when they cough and they have nasty noses and then that makes them cough all that much more. Maycee coughs all the time anyway due to her asthma, which by the way, is doing fabulous. We haven't had an incident in quite a while with either of them(knock on wood!)

So anyway--it's still raining today so I gotta figure out what the heck me and wyatt are going to do! Make some cookies, more scrapbook pages(I'm about 5 years behind!), probably play with cars and "little peoples". And listen to Wyatt stand at the window and cry because he can't go outside...we're praying for sun extra hard around here!!!!
