Spring has been good! Lots of rain, I love the rain but even better if it's mixed in with some sunshine.

We are in the process of getting our front yard in. We've gotten threatening letters from the city that if we don't have our yard in by a certain time we'll be fined- nice! It's probably a good thing though for people who leave their yards in weeds for some reason. We should have the sod in this week, and next week the fence will be started. Looking forward to that. Gus will love it. Maybe even get another dog too? Now would be a good time if we do.

Briana is, of course, really enjoying summer and time off from high school. I can't believe she will be a senior this fall! I thought I was so old when I graduated from high school, ha! She has adopted a pet bearded dragon and seems to really like it. She named him Jack. She also has a part-time retail job.

Wyatt loves playing in the yard while his Dad works. He likes to lay flat on the rock next to the little pond and swish his arms in it. (If he's fallen in before Jason hasn't told me). Even though I'm excited for the yard to be done, it's provided so many hours of entertainment I will kind of miss it! But there's still the backyard. I think that's why Jason liked this place. So many projects. It's kind of nice to have a blank slate to work with.

My favorite thing lately too is consignment stores. I've found some really good ones.

Summer officially begins in a couple days. We'll be hitting a family reunion and Lagoon for a little getaway.

Update

Looking out the window today.

Post haircut- I forgot to take my camera into the salon.

Before haircut, climbing on the magazine rack and grinning for the camera.

Well, haven't blogged for a while. Wyatt has been sick for over a week. I thought he was getting better over the weekend and then he got sick again so we've been to the Dr. twice! Just a few random pics. I think I liked hair better before it was cut though!

Goodbye Old Home

We have lived in this home for just over 7 years. It was our first home and we have done a lot with it. We are moving this weekend. I find it is a bittersweet experience as we have had many good memories here. Goodbye old home, and thanks for the memories.

Nine Months Plus

Wyatt just had his nine month check up this week. He weighed 19 lbs 9 oz and measured 30 inches long. He's in the 90th percentile for height and 35th for weight, so he's kind of long and skinny right now. He loves eating all kinds of food, basically anything that we give him he will chow down on. He is super active and cannot be left to his own devices for more than a couple seconds, which makes it a bit difficult to get anything done. He's been crawling on his knees for several weeks and pulling up and climbing around furniture. He loves to open drawers and cabinets and pull out whatever he can find, and splashing in dog water and eating dog food if Mom's not fast enough or forgot and left the food on the floor. For some reason he doesn't like getting his diaper changed and will do all kinds of acrobatics in order to avoid this process. I'm telling you, baby changing should be an Olympic sport! At least with babies like him.

First Day of Blog

I thought I'd start a blog to try it out. It seems like a fun way to share photos and happenings with friends and family. It's also my Mom's birthday. Happy Birthday Mom!
