March

Getting closer- here is March!  BJ finished his latest fixer upper, which was the Jeep.  Wyatt takes after his daddy and loves cars.  He says "cars" about one million times per day.


Oh, just out for an afternoon walk, complete with Halloween shirt and Christmas socks.  These are some of Sydney's favorite clothing pieces, and she is totally ok with wearing them all at once in March.


Just when we thought winter was over, another very brief ice storm.  Last one, thank goodness!


Kindergarten registration time!  Sydney was SO excited, but quite nervous once we got inside.  Now she can't wait for kindergarten to start.  


Wyatt loves to grab his jacket and go


The girls went to Cousin Camp for the weekend, and I had Wyatt to myself all weekend.  It is very different to only have one kid when you're used to three!  He got to take a bath by himself- lots of room to play.


Maybe a little less excited about shopping at Target


And just as soon as BJ sold the green Jeep, here comes another project!!!  This is an old Bronco.  


Sydney's class went on a field trip to HEB, and I was able to go with her.  She had so much fun!  Actually the kids were mostly interested in the cookie they got in the bakery section.


Followed by lunch at the park



Daytime date!!!  We went to an afternoon movie, which is a treat since we don't have to pay a sitter!  


Patio furniture shopping- quite the helper testing them out



We went bowling for the first time!  Sydney was taking pics in the car to keep everyone entertained. 


Wyatt was great and just sat in his stroller the entire time.  It was really loud with plenty to watch, which works for him!



The girls really enjoyed it.  Using the ramp makes it so much easier for them!  Jenna is not competitive at all- BJ and I are not sure if she is really our daughter.  Jenna got upset if she got a strike because she didn't get a second turn!


Sydney even bowled the last couple of frames without the ramp.


Clearly the guy who set up our lane did not hear our names correctly...   Much to Sydney's disappointment, Jenna won!!!


Jenna is our eternal optimist.  There was a lot of bird poop on her car window for a week or two.  While driving one day, the girls were talking about what if we were in a car accident.  Jenna said, "Well, if we had a crash and the car fell on this side, at least the bird poop would be gone!"  


Wyatt went to the Little Gym for a few weeks, and he had a lot of fun once he got over his initial hesitation.  He's a climber so this was perfect for him.





Wyatt is changing from a baby into a little boy.  He loves to draw on the chalkboard... but still eats the chalk.


BJ got the world's smallest scooter for Wyatt, which is for 18 mos old.  He caught on right away, and he loves scooting around the house!




Wyatt loves loud noises, and when I got out the dust buster, he came running over!  He had to try it out himself.

January and February

We're going all the way back to New Year's Eve!  I have big plans of turning the blog into photo books (someday, right??) so wanted to get up to date.

Sydney was ready to celebrate!


BJ made stuffed hamburgers- a look of contentment.


A fun evening with friends



Happy New Year!  Actually made it to midnight for the first time in several years.


Sweet sisters love playing with their dolls


So quick to escape the shopping cart buckle


Sweet sleeping baby- I knew it wouldn't be much longer until I wouldn't be rocking him to sleep anymore.


He's a climber!  


He loves to ride in the buggy at daycare and wave to his people.



Poor Jenna had an ear infection.


Fun at a friend's party!  The look on Sydney's face- hurry and take the picture, Mom!


Wyatt's first car show!



Photo booth fun at a friend's birthday party




He loves to climb anything



BJ got a new toolbox- SO EXCITED!


The girls are always on the lookout for pink cars.  In the post Mary Kay days, unfortunately there are not very many pink cars.  BJ was out with the girls, and they saw this truck.  He had to stop and get a picture because it was such an exciting event.




Wyatt is always excited to supervise BJ in the garage



Selfie practice... Sydney still needs to work on her angles.  Photobomb courtesy of Jenna.




I got some sponge rollers for Sydney to sleep in, and she was very excited.  


I guess I should not have bought the extra small ones.  Her hair was so, so curly, it was like a bad perm.  She was very upset, and I ended up washing her hair before school.  Notice the tear on her face here- poor thing!


Happy Valentine's Day!  We were all set with a V Day breakfast.


Oh, doesn't everyone hang out with a red mustache and play games?



Fun girls day!!!  We started off at Starbucks



and went to the new children's museum.




Just another Friday night at Jason's Deli
