April- Easter, Wyatt's Baptism

At last... we got Frozen!  The girls had seen it of course, but were glad to get their own copy.  The girls were SO excited to have movie night.  I love Jenna and Wyatt wrestling in the background.

Cool like Elsa with a braid.  

Cruising in the pink jeep.

Jenna gets out of bed 4-10 times each night, reasons including:  potty, thirsty, potty, dirt under fingernails, potty, forgot to give a hug, potty, toe/arm/ knee/ tummy hurts, potty.  She will walk into the living room and announce that she is "never, ever, ever getting out of bed again.  Goodnight!".  We get annoyed by her antics but it's hard not to laugh when she does that three times in a row.  Here she is making her grand announcement.

Jenna loves seeing Wyatt at daycare, and they sent me this picture when he was on a buggy ride.

This boy loves tools!  Love those greasy little hands.

We were able to participate in a church wide community service event, with some options for young kids.  Wyatt was sick, so the boys stayed home.  Sydney and Jenna had a great time.  They put together bean soup bags and colored the tags.

At the beginning of January, BJ, Natalee, Chuck and Diana set a goal to run the Cap 10K in April.  We were all so proud of them for finishing the event!  

Wyatt seems to be less than impressed- more interested in his chips.

Wyatt was so fussy, and he is such a daddy's boy.  If BJ is around, he ONLY wants him.  BJ had to cook breakfast with one hand while holding W.

Still full on Frozen mania here... sleeping in the Anna costume with the Anna doll.  Like younger sisters across America, Jenna has to be Anna while Sydney is always Elsa.

Crazy day at daycare!  What's funny is that Sydney said she decided she didn't want to dress crazy, only do crazy hair.  She thinks it is totally normal to wear holiday outfits year round.

All the cool dads chill on the couch watching Barbie shows on Netflix.

Whoa, the biggest box of Peeps we have ever seen.  Sydney begged for it, but we didn't get it!

Remember these???

Jenna had a thing with the letter R.  She would randomly write Rs all over the place.  I had to take a picture of this paper from school- the letter O paper, with a couple of Rs.

And a map picture, with some Rs.

Sydney's picture of her with Mommy and Daddy.

Easter weekend, otherwise known as the time 3/5 of us had a brutal stomach virus out of town.  Wyatt had it Friday night and was not himself all weekend, then Sydney and I got it on Sunday.  The most fun was the Easter egg hunt at the Hoolihan on Saturday.

Hanging with Nannie and the blow up bunny.  That night when I put Jenna to bed, she said, "I wonder how that blow up bunny hid all those eggs."  Haha!!

Enjoying the ukulele concert by Neeme

Wyatt's baptism- what a special day!  He acted like he owned the place before the service and kept everyone entertained.

Sweet friends Josh and Dana are Wyatt's godparents.  He is a lucky boy!

I had pretty much given up hope of getting a picture of all three kids, because Wyatt is impossible to photograph.  The week before we had church directory pictures, which did not go well!  All of the great pictures we got this day were a surprise and a treat!

This boy is such a joy!

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.
