Moms club egg hunt

On Monday Wesley and Katie meet up with the Moms club to have our Easter egg hunt. We meet at one of Wesley's favorite parks, Duck park. While the eggs were being hid the kids ran around waiting.


Waiting patiently .....

Connor and Wesley found a huge stick to play with
Ready set go!!!!!


Man it is hard to get a picture of a rowdy 2 year old. You take what you can get.

After the egg hunt was over we walked over to the park and of course Wesley wanted to swing for 30 minutes, then got down and playing on a few of the toys before we had to go.

Big boy bed

When Wesley and Katie got back from visiting Lolli and Pops in March, Mark had converted Wesley's crib into his toddler bed. Wesley did great sleeping at Lolli and Pops so we hoped it carried over to our house. So far he has done a great job with staying in his bed and sleeping during his naps. He will wake up in the morning and wait a few minutes before he climbs out of bed and runs into our room to wake us up.

When Wesley's friend come over to play he takes them back to his room and they always end up playing his bed.

Visiting Pops and Lolli

Wesley and Katie flew to Midland to visit family and celebrate Wesley's cousin, Madison's 2nd birthday. A week before they left Katie told Wesley that they were going to Pops' house and all he said the rest of the week was Pops, tractor, on. As soon as they got to their house Wesley wanted to go outside and play on the tractor. Of course his Pops put him right on it and drove him around.

On Friday we went to the duck pond and feed the ducks then came home and played until Madison came over for the weekend. On Saturday we woke up and made pancakes then headed to the park. Wesley had a great time seeing his cousins and family during the party. We had a great time while at Lolli and Pops and had a lot of great food.

Katie's parents bought Wesley a "big boy bed" for him to sleep in . This was the first time he had slept in a big boy bed and he did wonderful.
Wesley loved to help Pops feed all the animals every night.

Madison loves to swing with her boots on . Too cute.

Orr Family Farm

We visited the Orr Family Farm one morning with our friends Eli and Sami. The last time we were there Wesley fell and busted his chin open on the carousel and we had to go to the hospital and get him fixed up. I told Mark that I would not allow Wesley to climb on the toy carousel, and the first thing Wesley wanted to get on was the toy carousel. We feed the farm animals and Wesley had a great time feeding the pigs. When we finished feeding the animals we rode the Choo Choo train and Wesley loved it. Wesley also enjoyed playing in the dirt with Eli. I think they could have played there for hours if we let them. Before we left we rode the carousel, I didn't know if Wesley would enjoy this or not and he had a great time.

February Happenings

The month of February has been busy for us. We have painted a few rooms in our house, played at the park when the weather was nice, and played a lot inside due to our weather.

Wesley got a pirate dress up costume for Christmas and has really enjoyed running through the house with his sword and hat.

We hosted a movie day with our Mom's friends. Connor was a very sweet friend and shared his blanket with Wesley. Everyone brought a yummy breakfast dish and then we watched Thomas.

We hosted a Valentine's Party at our neighborhood clubhouse with our Mom's club. We had several fun crafts to make and lots of goodies to eat. I only was able to get one picture.

We decided to start cutting Wesley's hair at home. He hates to get his haircut, so we thought this might help. Katie cut Mark's hair first then it was Wesley's turn. At first he fought us while, but then got a sucker like his Daddy and did a wonderful job.
He also watched Mickey Mouse while getting his hair cut.

We visited the Fire Fighter Museum in Oklahoma City with our Mom's club. I thought the kids could maybe sit on the fire trucks to get a few pictures but they were not allowed to sit or stand on them. Wesley was very disappointed that he couldn't sit on them, he talked about sitting on them the whole drive there.

A few days this month we had a few days where the temperatures were in the 60's and 70's so we took advantage of it and went to the duck pond to feed the ducks and to the zoo. Wesley loves visiting the zoo to see the seals. He loves to stand on the window ledge and watch the seals swim right in front of him.

February snow storm's

In the month of February we had two winter snow storms within two weeks. We were not sure what to think, the news told us that this storm would be very similar to last years Christmas Eve storm; blizzard!! The winds blowing very hard and then temps got below zero. It took the snow a very long time to melt due to the temperatures. Mark's work closed a few days for both snow storm so he stayed home with us and had fun.

Wesley loved to eat the snow.
Looking out the front door. We had snow drifts on our front porch about 1 1/2 feet deep.
Mark standing in the snow, about 9 - 10 inches.
Wesley wanted to go out and play in the snow so when the winds finally died down we bundled him up and let him play. He would get so frustrated when he would sink in the snow and get stuck.
He wasn't happy when he fell in the snow, but we had to get a picture before we could get him up.
After the first snow storm Wesley and Mark got out in the back yard and started to build a snowman. Wesley wasn't very interested in helping Mark build the snowman so he walked around and crunched the snow.

I guess we should probably buy a sled for next winter so we have one and are ready for the next snow storm.

January Randomness

The month of January flew by quickly. We had pretty cold temperatures and a few small snow storms. Wesley and Katie stayed inside a lot because Wesley was sick a lot during the month.

Wesley found these ear protectors in our closet one day and loves to put them on and wear them everywhere.
On January 24th Katie celebrated her 28th birthday. We meet Mark for lunch then had a yummy cupcake after dinner.
Wesley LOVED eating the icing.
Wesley wants to have his picture taken while laying on the floor with the "bie" big camera.
