Pumpkins

What a fun and busy fall we have had!  Here are some pics from our trip to the pumpkin patch and our pumpkin decorating party with the Abbott's and the Kluemper's...

Wyatt with his little pumpkin

Silly boy

Playing in the straw.  It was a windy day!

He loved climbing on the straw bales!

Jumping to Nanny

Wyatt was not excited about the family picture!

Beach (and a birthday)

Here is a long overdue post from our beach vacation in August.  We rented a beach house in Panama City Beach, Florida and enjoyed a few days of sun and sand with my family.  Wyatt became quite the fish in the house pool once he got comfortable with his puddle jumper!  He still did not care for the sand or the waves at the beach though :(  He absolutely refused to walk in the sand!

Mommy and Wyatt on the beach

I tried every evening to see the sunset and the clouds kept rolling in and covering up my sunset :(

Most of the crew in front of our beach house :)

For my birthday, I finally got my perfect sunset :)

Family

Handsome boy on the beach :)

He loves his Uncle Casey!  (he really does, he was a little tired and over pictures at this point, haha)

My 30th birthday couldn't have been any better ;)

To top off our vacation and my birthday fun, Derek and I headed off for a few days of fun in Vegas!  Complete with  gambling, Cirque du soleil Love show, lots of food, and way too much walking!!

   

Bedtime...what!??

Sometimes, Wyatt gets a little wild and crazy as bedtime approaches (and passes).  Not exactly in a cranky way, just a won't-stop-moving-for-fear-of-falling-asleep way :)

Climbing on the [glass] coffee table

Rolling around on the floor

Summer

So, I have been a total blog slacker this summer.  I won't make excuses (birthday parties, camping, Indians games, splash park), but I will try to do better in the next few months....maybe :)  For now, I am doing a catch up post of our summer fun before we head out to the beach this weekend!!

Momma's Boy

 my two favorite guys being goofy

Happy Father's Day!!

Wyatt loves to slide!

No matter how many times he gets in trouble for going the wrong way, he still tries it every.single.time :)

He loves to play baseball

Watch out!!

He loves popsicles.  He will ask for one for breakfast, lunch, and dinner :)

Don't worry, he likes football too!

Cheese!

This is the face you get when the camera comes out and you say "Wyatt, say CHEESE!".  Makes me laugh every time :)

Easter

Finally...I found a little time to get our Easter pics uploaded and edited.  With the nicer weather moving in, Wyatt constantly wants to play outside and has decided he does not want to go to bed until the sun does.  This has been seriously cutting into my computer time :)  Anyways, here is the Easter recap....

All ready for his first Easter egg hunt  (Don't mind the vintage bucket...Mommy was a little forgetful that morning so we had to improvise with one we found at Pop's house.  It belonged to Mommy when she was little :)

Posing with his loot.  And by loot, I mean one egg and a sucker.  Luckily, he would have been happy with just the sucker :)

Coloring Easter eggs

Getting some help from Cousin Adam

The finished products.  Wyatt would say "wow" everytime we pulled an egg out of the coloring :)

Emily and Adam's eggs

Wyatt's Easter basket

Checking out his Easter basket goodies with Daddy

We spent Easter morning at my Grandparent's church with the whole Frye family, followed by a delicious meal cooked by Grandma.  Feeling very blessed this Easter!!

Baseball

Wyatt finally made it through an entire Indians game!  I don't think he sat down loinger than 5 minutes the whole game, but no major meltdowns still = success!  He got a baseball bat and learned a new word "swing".  It was only slightly embarrassing that he kept swinging the bat like it was a golf club :)  Guess we have some work to do this summer... 

Letters

The same child who has worried his mother for months over his lack of words, can suddenly identify and say (most of) his letters!  And I had no idea he could do this.  I have been so focused on getting him to say words, I have never worked on letters with him.  Which leads us to believe he learned this from an iphone app.  Not sure if that would be considered a parenting WIN or FAIL, but either way I will take it.  At least he is saying something :)
Disclaimer:  this video is not great.  he does not perform well when the camera is out, and is easily distracted.  but you get the idea...
 

HeartBreaker

Watch out girls!! ;-)

Little Monster

Before reading/looking at these pics, let me say a few things.  First, I realize Wyatt is wearing pajamas in alot of our recent pics.  Don't judge, it is winter and we haven't gotten out alot :)  Second, my house looks like a disaster in most all of these pics.  I think once you see them, there will not be a need for an explanation :)  Third, these pics were all taken within about a 1-hour period, maybe even less.  This kid can get into alot of trouble in no time at all!!  I think that about covers it.  Here is the little Wy monster...

He loves messing with the lazy susan in the kitchen.  Note the "child lock" that is working really well ;-)

And this is the kind of thing that happens shortly after...sprinkles (or whatever else he can get a hold of) all over the floor!

Climbing on the stove

Getting into the tv cabinet where the PS3 and Wii live

Pulling out the dvd's.  Note another child lock that is not exactly doing it's job ;-)

Playing with the computer.  Don't mind the missing keys...
