Nick's 30th B-day party

Nick turned 30 on May 1st. We had a really fun party at our house to celebrate. Lots of family and friends turned out and we had a perfect evening of food, fun and lots of laughs. Happy Birthday to my old man....only one more month till I join the 30 club!

Four and a half!

Maddie turned four and a half this week. I feel like her whole little 4 and half years of life have just flown right by us. Maddie is becoming such a sweet, independent, thoughtful, sensitive and feisty little girl. She amazes us every day at the things she says and the thoughts that she has. Maddie is a wonderful little ballerina and expresses herself a lot through dance and music. I know her Father in heaven takes great delight in watching her grow and learn.
We love you Maddie, we are blessed beyond measure to be your parents. We can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for you.

Two and a Half!!!

Our sweet wyatt turned 2 1/2 on Saturday...it is so hard to believe that 6 months ago he was turning two. Wyatt is so full of energy and a joy to be around every day. He has the sweetest, most humorous and playful personality. He adores his big sister and wants to do whatever she is doing. Wyatt is still very much into cars...but also loves dinosaurs, tools, firetrucks,playing outside, and books. He LOVES to sing and dance...he sang his first song "Row Row Row your Boat" when he was 15 months old and has probally learned a new song every month since then. His favorites right now are "This little light of mine" and "Sweet Dreams" by the Dixie Chicks. He is talking like crazy...his vocabulary has really blossomed over the past 6 months.
Here are some Wyatt-isms:
Mommy, that a buzozers.(bulldozer)
That is so nummy, it my favorite.
I gotta go pee pee(yes...we are potty training and he is doing awesome!)
Mommy, there a yake, a really big yake. (lake)
I want to go to mommy school. (soon little guy)
Roni, Roni, watch me Roni. (his sweet name for Maddie)
That a big truck, a big red truck.
Mommy, I want to see an abulance. (ambulance)


We love you Wyatt and are blessed to be your parents. You make every day an adventure and so much fun!

Maddie had her first ballet recital this week with the church. She has been practicing for 8 weeks and was just so adorable Wednesday night. They danced to a version of "This little light of mine". I will try to post the video later today.

She's on the end

The only one looking at me

Cookie Bouquet from Nana and Papaw that she got on the day of the recital. She begged to eat some before and after the show.

Flowers she got from Daddy, Mommy and Wyatt, Grandma and Grandad and her best buddy Noah.

Admiring flowers from Noah.

Getting ready...

We are getting ready for Uncle Jame to come home in a few weeks so we had wyatt try on his matching uniform. He looks pretty cute..Maddie of course had to dress up too in her "army stuff".

Another Zoo Trip...

The whole family went to the zoo this past saturday. It was the perfect day to let the kids play outside and they never grow tired of seeing all the animals. Can't wait to make more trips this summer!
