Early Christmas with Grandparents and Great Grandparents

We celebrated Wesley's 3rd birthday on December 10th with friends and family. Wesley's grandparents and great grandparents came in from Texas for the weekend. On Friday night we gathered for dinner and then opened Christmas presents with them.

His uncle Chad and Aunt Christy got him Woody from Toy Story and it has been his best friend since. He sleeps with him and he even goes on car rides with us.

Wesley's new saw from his Lolli and Pops. He got many more gifts that night that he loves as well.

On Saturday we got up and started preparing for Wesley's third birthday party after breakfast. He was expecting 12 of his friends to come to the party. Mark and Papaw headed to Chick-fil-a to pick up the chicken nuggets and balloons, while Mema helped us set up the table and snacks.

As soon as the gifts arrived Wesley was ready to open them and didn't want to go play.

His face was precious when everyone started singing Happy Birthday to him.

Halloween

Wesley had been anticipating Halloween for a few weeks. He would ask if it was Halloween yet? He was so excited to go trick or treating and to wear his Buzz costume. He practiced trying on his costume, shooting his "laser" and flying fast from house to house daily.
When Mark got home we opened up his Halloween bucket: new cars for his track, stickers, new cup and Cars Pez. He also got gifts from his Lolli and Grammy.

Wesley and Erin after a few stops. They did a great job walking up to the houses and saying Trick or Treat then walking off.

We decided to head home after trick or treating for about 45 minutes. Wesley had a great time trick or treating and got a lot of candy. Can't wait to see what he will be next Halloween.

Storybook Forest

On Sunday evening we head to Lake Arcadia and visited the Storybook Forest. We were told that sometimes there is a very long line to get in and you have to wait a while. So we got there about 30 minutes before it opened and sure enough there was a long line to pay. Once we parked Katie stood in line to get in while Wesley and Mark walked around and looked at the campfires and listened to a story.

Once we got in we walked around and trick or treated with different story book characters, such as: Hansel and Gretel, Pinocchio, Repunzel, Three Little Pigs, Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater, and many many more. Wesley's first piece of candy.

Once you finished the trick or treating you got to go on a hay ride. While on the hay ride we saw several deer and enjoyed looking at the tree leaves changing.
Mark roasted a marshmallow for Wesley and he didn't care for it. He did like watching Mark roast marshmallow's for himself. We had a great time and can't wait to go back again.

Big boy bed

We have been talking to Wesley for a few months about getting a big boy bed but every time he says no that he doesn't want one. One morning he woke up and told us he was ready for a new bed. We looked around town at a few stores and didn't find anything we like. So this past weekend we went to Pottery Barn Kids and found one we liked.

He did a great job going right into bed that night and every day since.

October Fun

Wow October was a very busy month for us. Here are somethings that took place.

Wesley loves the show Jake and the Neverland Pirates, so we go on treasure hunts in the sand box ofter.

We had a few friends over for a breakfast and movie play date.
Wesley wants Max to do everything with him. Max is a very good sport the majority of the time. Luckily Max's doctor visit had a good outcome.

Katie's parents came in for the weekend and we headed out to the pumpkin patch. They have a petting area, maze, hay ride and campfire. We were only there for about 30 minutes before it started pouring on us.

Wesley and Katie went to her parents the weekend before Halloween and Madison was there the whole weekend! On Saturday we loaded up and went to Fiddlesticks Farm. The kids had a great time looking at all the animals and the hayride.

We enjoyed watching the pig races.

Oklahoma State Fair

In September we took Wesley to the Oklahoma State Fair. He liked looking at the cows, sheep and chicks. We bought tickets to see Toy Story on Ice, not knowing what he would think about it. He loved watching it and surprisingly sat still through the majority of it.

1st day of Wesley's Mothers Day out

Wesley started Mother's Day out at our church last week. He enjoys going so much and loves the music class. He goes every Tuesday and Thursday from 9:30 to 2:30. His favorite phrase is " Momma say with me", apparently his teachers say this a lot. He will learn a different shape and color every month.

Wes wanted a picture with Max before he headed off to school.
We can't wait to see what Wesley learns in school this year.
