Wyatt got this new ‘Backyardigans’ couch!! When we were in the store I was trying to show him the ‘Cars’ couch because the colors are more normal, however my son loved the Backyardigans couch!! So this very ugly couch sits in the middle of my family room on a daily basis so he can watch his favorite show!! It really is cute to see him sitting and watching his show!!! The picture doesn’t show how obnoxious this couch really is!!

Wow…I am shocked at how fast this year has gone! We just celebrated Wyatt’s first birthday yesterday! We sure had a blast! He is our little dodger boy! Ryan & I were talking about this past year! God is really teaching us new things everyday. He has worked in our lives so much this past year. He has blessed us with the best gift ever…parenthood! We have had a few hurdles along the way, but nothing has broken our relationship or trust with Him…He is watching over us each day, and guides us down these uncertian paths! We are so excited to see what he has planned for us during the next year!
We love love you all so much for taking the time to share in Wyatt’s life! Much love for all your support during the last year!

This was SOOO funny!! The Gorilla walked up to the glass & turned around & put his butt in their faces!! We were laughing so hard!!

After showing the kids his butt…he turned around & mad eye contact with Wyatt. I love this picture. Both Ava & Wyatt just stayed glued to the glass!!

Wyatt with his Memaw & Papa. Wyatt had a wonderful 1st Christmas day hanging out at their house. We were able to relax as a family and enjoy the kids playing. We opened gifts and watch a few Christmas specials on TV. Wyatt will be the best dressed kid around thanks to his Memaw & Papa…they got him some pretty cool clothes & PJ’s!

Jeremiah 29 (New International Version)
11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
These words mean so much to me these days! God is using the Bible to teach our family a great deal. Ryan and I are in a Bible Study and we are studying the series ‘Experiencing God’…WOW!! I am enjoying it very much. Being the word every day has been such a blessing. God is challenging us on so many levels!! I encourage you to pick up your Bible and read a few scriptures right now…Be Motivated!!!
May God Bless you!!

Ryan & I have challenged each other to read our Bible everyday. We realized how busy we were getting and how often our Bibles were collecting dust!! God has brought so much joy into my life after making this new commitment. Reading the Bible is something I look forward to each and everyday!! I am excited about what I will learn. I have a personal study I am currently doing, however, I thought I would share something that Ryan and I started doing back before we were married!! Reading a ‘Proverb-A-Day’.
The book of Proverbs has 31 chapters…one chapter each day of the month. If there are only 30 days in the month I read chapter 30 & 31. I wanted to share a few verses from my readings today!! ENJOY!
Proverbs 15: 29-33
29The LORD is far from the wicked
but he hears the prayer of the righteous.
30 A cheerful look brings joy to the heart,
and good news gives health to the bones.
31 He who listens to a life-giving rebuke
will be at home among the wise.
32 He who ignores discipline despises himself,
but whoever heeds correction gains understanding.
33 The fear of the LORD teaches a man wisdom,
and humility comes before honor.

Wyatt loves to eat…!! Introducing food to our son was no problem!! He knows when it’s time to eat. He recognizes the bottle and understands the sound of the microwave heating up his yummy veggies!! His favorite fruit is currently pears and his favorite vegetable is currently sweet potatoes…Just like his mommy.

We love to make the biggest mess possible!!!!

OUR LITTLE COWBOY!!!
Posted in Cowboy, Wyatt | 3 Comments »
Wyatt is such a good little traveler!! We took him on his first little adventure to Palm Springs during the month of July. We did lots of swimming, laying around the condo, and hanging out with the family. Marriott in Palm Desert has a small little lake on the property where they have boat rides each day. Wyatt enjoyed his first boat ride with Ryan & I. Our driver had a special life jacket for him to wear. It was a little on the big side!!

We are looking forward to many more family vacations as a family!!

Ryan and I took Wyatt to Mamaw & Papaw’s pool to swim with his cousins Sarah, Tom, Eli, & Sam. Wyatt’s 1st adventure in the pool was exciting!! He is growing so much each day and is developing such a cute personality. Wyatt truly is a blessing to our lives, and we are excited to document all the fun adventures.

Our little fish (Wyatt) will be swimming on his own before we now it!! I love this picture of my dad…he was sitting by the pool enjoying the grand-kids splashing around in the pool. We look forward to many more days like these with the family!!
I would have to say that I am a very blessed young lady. God has truly blessed my life in many ways. I have a loving husband and beautiful son. Amazing parents, who love God and who have raised me to love God…what more can a girl ask for. I have a great brother who married a great girl who have 4 great kids!! And to top it off…I have cool in-laws…it’s the truth people…I have cool in-laws!!! God is good! God has truly blessed me!
