Wyatt is 3 months

   Already three months has passed since this little guy joined our family.  He's getting to be a happier baby but some days are still pretty rough.  He's by far our hardest, fussiest baby.  He is so cute, though, and we love it when he smiles.  He's found his hands and he likes to suck on his fingers.  He's wearing 6 month clothes and growing quickly. 

Fun at the park

Wyatt slept through our park adventure that day

Sami, Grace, Kayleigh, Landon and Phoebe

Kayleigh waving from her "house" as she called it

Michael stopped by to say "hi" because he was in the area for work

Poor Landon was sooo worn out after 3 hours at the park.

 

 Kay really liked the toys at the playground by the baseball diamonds.

 

   With all the nice spring weather we've had in April we've enjoyed some time at the park.  I've taken the kids to 3 different parks around the area.  Our first visit was with my sister and her kids when we went to the "Castle Park" as it is known around here.  It's a pretty neat playground that is built out of wood and like a castle.  It also has swings which is hard to come by any more.  So many parks just don't have them any more.  We played for quite a while here and it was fun to let the kids burn some energy.  I wish I could have some of that energy!

   A couple weeks later I took the kids and met Michael's cousin, Maria, and her kids at Heritage Park.  On the day we went it was super hot!  It was in the 80's and I didn't really come prepared.  We needed more cold water but thankfully Maria was willing to share.  Max (Maria's son) taught Kay that it feels really nice to dump cold water on your head to cool off.  It was cute!  

  We took our lunches to eat at the park that day.  By the time we ate and the kids played 3 hours had gone by.  I was completely soaked in sweat and so were the kids.  Wyatt did pretty good but got fussy as we were getting packed up to go home. 

   Once home I had turned Curious George on and within a few minutes Landon was out on the couch.  He slept for awhile and wasn't very happy to have to wake up.  (Picture above.)  Gotta love how he was so worn out.  

   The following week we headed to Barnes Park with Maria and her kids again.  Kayleigh really liked one of the toys there.  You stand on it and it swirls around and she had so much fun on it.  Landon had fun going down the slides and trying to copy everything Kayleigh did.  

   He's kind of in that stage where he says and does everything that Kayleigh does.  It bugs her a little I think but I love it, it's so cute!   I've tried to explain to her that he loves her so much he just copies everything she says.  Problem is he's catching on to some of her bad habits as well as her good.  

   On our last park visit that I mentioned the weather was perfect.  it wasnt' even really hot and Kayleigh even wanted a jacket.  I love these days and to me they are the perfect time to enjoy the park!  We even had the playground to ourselves for just a minute.

Running

   We got a running stroller/bike trailer today. The kids are super excited to ride in it! It will be nice to have Michael be able to take them when he goes running. I hope we like it and that it works well.  We've used it twice already and it's a total hit with the kids!!

Helping at Nana and Grandpa's

   We had fun on Monday playing in the dirt! My parents needed some help getting their dirt ready to lay sod. Let's face it, Michael was really the only one that helped but the kids sure had fun and everyone got nice and dirty.
   Since it was family night we took the opportunity to have a super short lesson with Kayleigh about working together and how it's fun to do that. She also found a rock that she had to bring home and put in her collection. Silly girl!

Blessings

   Ignore me in this picture, what you need to focus on is Landon.  Lately he has started this where he pretends to give you a blessing.  It is so cute and so funny!  We really try to not encourage it because ya know, it's not something you want him doing all the time, but hey, we had to get a picture to document.
   One day he just did it to Kayleigh while she was sitting down and I about died!  What's kind of cool to me is that it's not like he's seen a ton of blessings given in his life time.  So for him to do this is kind of cute I think.  What else is funny is what he says when he does it.  It's usually along the lines of "Happy birthday to you."  What a stud you are Landon!

Cute curls

   Thanks to my sis-in-law, Staci, I found that Kayleigh's hair will actually hold a curl without using an entie bottle of hairspray and spending a ton of time.  The trick??  A curling rod.  Yeah, it's pretty cool.  I like it for my own hair as well.  It still takes some time, but hey, it's so cute and lasts through out the day.  Kayleigh asks almost every day for me to do her hair curly.

Wyatt Wyatt and more Wyatt

 Love this one!  Unfortunately, this is what he spends half his days doing, poor kid.  Yesterday Kay told me she feels bad for him.  I do too!

 All ready for church

 LOVE this onesie!  Thanks to our awesome friends and neighbors, the Hawkes, that gave it to him.

  

   So I have lots of pictures of Wyatt that I've taken lately and thought I should get some on here. Mostly so when I actually print this thing they'll be in a book and also for my sis-in-law to see who lives far away.
