Wyatt Update

Well everyone that follows me knows that Wyatt is 6 now. Here is a little update and photo shoot of what I missed while I was away from blogging. This update covers from summer 2013 - the end of 2013/early 2014. 

The boys had got a turtle from Papa Joes Farm and oh my word did they get attached but we had to let it go eventually.  Vince and I let the boys keep the turtle for a week and then we painted their names on  it and went in the back yarn to release him. Poor Wyatt hated letting the turtle go. He tried to hide it but Vince and I seen him tearing up. He gets so attached. 

Then we had 4th of July at the Schumer's in 2013.

 We do this every year and Dan and Kathy always gets about 200.00 or more of fireworks to shoot off. They do such an awesome show and they grill out for everyone. It is definitely a fun time with games, food, the firework show and good company. 

We had a movie evening at Waterloo Cinema. It was Isaac's first movie and Wyatt's second time going to the movies. Isaac did good for being two. We had a whole row to ourselves so that was nice. Isaac when he was feeling restless would just go up and down the row and then watch the movie again. Wyatt did great and sat and watched the whole movie. 

Wyatt had a big event happen in 2013. He started school full time!!! He was so nervous and excited at the same time. Mrs. Mudd was his Kindergarden teacher and he ended up loving her and making friends. By the end of the year though he was ready for a break. I think the hardest thing for Wyatt to deal with was the fact that Isaac got to go to Grandma and Grandpas all day and he just got to go after school. After awhile though he got used to it and we did not hear anymore about it and his grandparents made sure and let him spend time out there on the weekends and eat supper with them.  

We had some playing with friends and goofing off. 

Some playing at the local pumpkin patch picking pumpkins. We did not end up carving them in 2013 due to life being crazy and Isaac being at an age where it would not work. This year we are for sure going to carve pumpkins and I pray I am able to have time to do a post. They did have a blast picking out pumpkins though and playing at the pumpkins patches playground. I love our local pumpkin patch. They do such a good job at keeping everything up and always seem to have something new for the kids to enjoy each year. 

We had Halloween and went trick or treating. They both always love that. For the past two years we have been going out to the subdivision by the JC Ball Diamonds and they always get alot of candy and then after that we go to the Grandparents house as you can see. 

The boys with their ornaments I got off of etsy. I started a tradition for us. Every year I go online and have an ornament made for them and have a design put on it that is relevant to something they are big into in that year or a big event that they had happen. Wyatt s this year for Christmas was a school bus and Isaac a monster for his first movie and Wyatt's was for starting school. 

Then we had Christmas with the grandparents and god parents.  The boys always get alot of gifts and love this time of year. This year the big gift was linking logs and legos. Between the grandparents the boys have a large plastic tote of the logs.  Wyatt at that point loved to build and still does. Now if we could just get Isaac to stop destroying everything that Wyatt builds things  would be good. Oh little brothers. 

Lastly we all went with Jim and Pam to Wooster Ohio to visit Jim's brother Steve and his wife Debbie. Wyatt's favorite part of the whole trip was seeing Steve's trophy  collection from all of the car shows he has entered his Chevelle in and won. Literally the majority of his basement floor and wall is full of them. The best part was though is that Wyatt got to pick one out to keep and bring home. He loves that trophy and has took the best care of it. 

It was a Friday-Monday trip. Jim drove and we left Friday and came back Monday. Man that was a long car ride. We did visit an Amish community which was cool. Wyatt loved the horse and buggies and the Amish store they had there which was a bit pricey. It was cool seeing what all they make by hand though. Then we also went to a cheese factory and sampled a bunch of different cheeses and bought some to bring home with us. They didn't make it home though. Between Vince and I, the boys and his parents we all eat it all with crackers. Other then that we swam at the hotel pool, relaxed and when to Steve and Debbie's house to play games and visit with family. It was a good trip.
