Turning 7!

Well, I can't believe it, I am the mom of a 7-year old!  I honestly don't know where the time has gone.  J.T. was on fall break for his birthday, so he didn't have to go to school.  Daddy took the day off, so the family went bowling, out for supper and came home for some cake and presents.  Here are a few photos and videos of J.T.'s big day. I tired to load more, but this program isn't working tonight.

"No, no Wyatt"...seemed to be a popular phrase at the bowling alley.

Reading his card from Ross and Alicia...he got a kick out of that!

Happy Birthday J.T.

Can you handle that candle, J.T.?

Happy Birthday Buddy!

Fall Break

Well, Fall Break is upon us and we definitely needed to find something to do before mom went crazy.  We managed to find a couple of indoor activities, one of which was a stop at Oasis Gymnastics Center.  Here are a couple of videos of my little monkeys!!  I have to say...Zoe has a little more of a dangerous streak than her big brother, but I think we all knew that!

Zoe the dancer?

Monday was Zoe's last day of ballet dance class for this session. The parents got to watch their kids perform this time around.  I guess I can see why they don't want parents in the room during the other practices, as kids were running to and from their mommies and daddies the whole time!  Anyway, Zoe had a great time!

Thursday was Wyatt's 1st birthday and I can't believe it. Time goes by faster and faster every passing year and I am ready for it to slow down!  Anyway, here are some pics and video from Wyatt's big day.

It's my birthday and I am a little monkey!

 Yea...time for presents!

I love shoes.

Are you having fun opening MY presents?

 My little monkey cake because I am a little monkey!

I really don't want to wear this hat.

Singing Happy Birthday

Don't spit on my cake, please.

Hmm...not quite sure about this.

 Maybe not so bad...

Yep, this is pretty good!

Yea..big boy eating my big boy cake

How big of a mess can I make?

All done and I LOVED it!!!!!

He's starting to move!

Wyatt has started to test his nerves a bit and is taking a few steps by himself.  Here are some videos of his amazing attempts!!!

1st days of school and Wyatt

This week began a new chapter in Zoe's life...school!  It also reminded J.T. why he LOVES fire drills so much. Here are a few pics from J.T.'s first day of 1st grade and Zoe's first day of Preschool!

 Getting ready to take off...the annual sibling picture!

 Ready to start our first day!

Zoe's Turn!

 Found our room and our seat

Let's get this party started!

Not to be outdone...some video of Wyatt.  Can you tell he has been tapped on the mouth a few times after he bites someone?!?!?!?

Wyatt starts to walk...well sort of!

Wyatt has been pulling himself up to a stand for about a month now.  He is starting to walk around the table and couches supporting himself.  He is also pushing himself to a standing position and working on his balance.  Tonight, we gave him one of his walking toys and he took off.  Too cute!!!
