Wyatt's Birthday Video

I have to put things on my blog so I don't forget about them.

Wyatt's Godmother Caitlin, and video extraordinaire made this for Wyatt on his first birthday. We love it!

Naughty and Nice

We have had a busy few weeks, with lots of fun.

Disney on Ice: I took Evan with his friend Drake and his mom Megan to Disney on Ice the day before Thanksgiving. Honestly I didn't know how it would go, but Evan sat on the edge of his chair the whole 90 minutes. He didn't want to leave!

Thanksgiving: We went to Iowa City and Cedar Rapids for Thanksgiving. Evan scored 3 touchdowns in his first football game. He will tell you all about it:)

Science Center: I took the boys to the Science Center and they loved every minute of it. I was busy building rockets or I would have taken more pictures.

They spent a lot of time at the ball wall.

Wyatt in the water building dams.

Christmas Spirit: We have had so much fun getting ready for Christmas this year. Boots the Elf came back to our house and is the highlight of each morning. We saw the tree lighting at Jordan Creek - everyone loved it until the fireworks, then we had a crying child (not Wyatt).

Having fun

We are busy and having fun as we head into the holidays. I can't believe my last post was about Halloween and now it is almost Thanksgiving.

Our new favorite dance is Gangnam Style, but this is an oldie but goodie. The Iowa Hawkeye burrito lift in matching jammies!
 Wyatt loves to dance, he loves music and is using his left hand a lot. Nick is happy:)

How did they do?!

Wyatt is adjusting to his new room with his teacher Demitu pretty well. We are on week 3 and it seems like he is settling in. He has a cute little friend named Emma who is a spit fire and cute as can be. She is actually the daughter of the doctor that did his newborn check on him in the hospital. So cute!

Love,
Nick, Amy, Evan and Wyatt

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! This year Evan started out wanting to be Chick Hicks from Cars. Well needless to say they don't make the mean car that crashes into everyone. I started saving boxes to make a Chick Hicks costume, but finally, we convinced him that Lightning McQueen was so much cooler. That lead us to Wyatt being Mater. We had been calling him Mater ever since his teeth started coming in one at a time and all different lengths. It just seemd appropriate they would be "Best friends in the whole wide world" just like Mater and McQueen.

So happy to see mom.

I also recruited his school friends to be TV stars for a segment we were doing on Halloween safety.

Enjoy the video! It is a hoot and the kids and parents had a great time.

Happy Halloween!
