Taking time to catch up............

Well, life has been a little crazy around our house lately. A stomach bug has now officially made its way through our entire house. It started with Wyatt a week ago this past Sunday. I was the lucky second person to obtain this wonderful illness on Saturday. Then on Sunday Warren christened Todd's new truck after leaving Wal-Mart. Then without fail Todd came down with it last night. Well, I am glad to say that 9 days later we are all doing much better. At least it was a short lived bug.

In the mean time we have had to have our carpets steam cleaned thanks to this bug. Which meant last Tuesday night after work we had to move all of our furniture out of our living room and then of course rearrange it on Wed. evening. The good part is that our carpet looks almost like new. I never thought a little steam could work miracles (if you had seen our carpet that had been tortured by two little boys you would understand what I mean by a MIRACLE).

Wyatt is doing good in school. He is very excited that he has been able to keep his clothes pin on the "smiley face" about 50% of the time. The other 50% his little jabber jaws cause him to have to move it or he has way more fun turnng his pencil into a space ship instead of writing tool. We're getting there after many threats and bribes (which tactic we use,just depends on the day).















His football team the mighty "Wildcats" has now won their second football game. He is very excited about this. He however told his Nana today that he liked football much more when they were just tackling the red tackling dummies (he's too funny). He is really enjoying this cooler weather, he told me he can run faster since the wind is blowing cool air.

Beware if you see him anytime soon. He got his school fundraiser and is on a mission to get the top prize. Well, at least he is a boy with a goal and on a serious mission. I told him maybe he should set his goal a little lower, but oh no he MUST sell 100 items, or so he thinks. He told me today he would just take his book, order sheet, a pen and visit every neighbor in our entire neighborhood. Now can't you see him strolling down the street as "Wyatt the door to door salesman."

As for Warren, he's doing just great now that his "tummy bug" is gone. He is just loving life and waiting for somebody to ask him to go "bye-bye in the car." There is no doubt he is his mother's son, he loves to "Go." He loves to watch the school bus come by our house in the morning or as he calls it the "B." Hey, I think it is pretty intelligent that at age 19 mos he knows what letter words start with. If he tells you "P" yes that is his term for "please." He is just too cute and growing up way to fast. He follows Wyatt every where like a lost puppy dog---it is so cute.

Well, Todd's 33rd birthday is tomorrow. I asked him how it felt to be "old," his response not that great. We are planning to cook out hot dogs this weekend. We'll try to call everyone in the next day or so, but probably will be Saturday evening around 6:00pm. Hope to see you then. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABE

Here are some of the most peaceful moments of my day!

We have BIG News!!!!!!

Well, we have some really big news as of tonight. Warren went pee on the potty for the first time---yeah. We are so excited. I know it may not happen again for a while, but I am thrilled. As many of you know we battled potty training with Wyatt for what seemed like years (ok--it was years). I just hope and pray it will be much easier this time.
We have had the potty out in the boys bathroom for about two months and occasionally Warren will sit on it, most of the time with his diaper on. Tonight he was in desperate need of a diaper change. He had walked into the bathroom and I said come here and lets take off that droopy diaper. I told him lets try sitting on the potty, so he did. He suddenly got this very serious look on his face. When he stood up there was pee in there. I was so excited I started shouting. Todd and I made a really bid deal out of it and Warren run around the house laughing and clapping he was so excited. He got a candy reward and thought he was king of the castle for about 10 minutes.
