birthday video

This is Wyatts birthday video, Sorry we didn't put it up sooner. He has been wanting to put it up. Also in the back round, you see the beautiful bookshelf and cabient that Josh built for me. He is so crafty! We will have to post some of josh's work. He is building a new picture frame for a picture we have.

All smiles despite the circumstance.

Pretty GROSS!!

Today we spent the morning getting Wyatts split off and a cast on. We took some pictures, you normally don't see stuff like this. Wyatt has three pins in his arm. They will remove the pins when he gets his cast off in four weeks. I think taking pictures helped relieve the stress off of Wyatt. And he got to pick out his favorite ice cream when we were done. Wyatt being silly!

Taking the splint off.

SNOWMAN

Here are pictures of the snowman josh's brothers and brother inlaws made in their back yard. Wyatt and Hailey helped out a bit. It is 15 feet tall. Which i think is about 4 or 5 feet bigger than last years snowman. Its awesome!

Wyatts Party!

I realized that i should have put the pictures in the opposite order..oh well there here. This is Clayton in his jumper. He is five months old, eating cereal and he has his first tooth.
Here is my little bat girl, she had a hard time with wyatts birthday, she is already planning her party for june.

Everyone enjoying cake.

Happy Birthday Wyatt, he is now the big 4 years old!

The cute cake Jackson's mom made. She put a bean in the cake and who ever found it won the bat juice(ibc root beer) The boy that found it didn't even eat his cake we had to dig through it because no one had found it and the cake was gone. Wyatt and Jackson opening presents!

Flying the bat planes. The bat cave was a hit!

The kids flying their bat planes.

Here is our bat cave. They had fun flying their bat planes in the cave Here we are playing stomp the bad guy. There were bad guys on the balloons. It was fun. The balloons were really hard to pop and there was candy in them.

They found all the puzzel pieces and we were figuring out what bad guys they found.

We played a lot of games. Here are the boys all suited up for there "mission".

Everyone is dressed up for the party. We gave out mask and bat capes. It was so fun!
Everyone is working hard on decorating their bat planes.

The Birthday Boy! Isn't he so handsome.

My craftyness

Here are some of my newest projects that i just finished in the last month. This quilt is for Wyatts bed! It turned out really cute! I made new pillow cases for my pillows and i think they turned out really nice. They are a lovely contrast with each other and our couch.

Surgery today

Here is Wyatt after surgery, he looks pretty drugged up. But tonight he is doing pretty good. Actually a LOT better. The surgery went well. He has 3 pins in his arm. In two weeks he will get a hard cast. I hope everything goes well these next two weeks. We are celebrating his birthday on Monday with his best friend. They share the same birthday.

So these are pictures this morning before Wyatt left for his second surgery. He seems pretty happy! Not so much now. He really liked his green cast. Which is his favorite color. He is such a trooper!

Well Wyatt was in surgery, Hailey was enjoying her new favorite movie "Ellie enchanted" It was the funniest thing. She is so dang cute!

The Bad News

Yesterday, Wyatt got his cast on finially, we could here the choir singing. We will post some pictures of his cool green cast later. We thought there was an end in site of the sleepless nights. But we got the call today, the doctor was looking at the xrays, and the bone wasn't perfect. And he wants to do the surgery again, and get it perfect. So we are going to start from scratch again. Tomorrow he goes in for the surgery for the second time. Poor kid, he is so scared. We talked to the doctor about letting Josh be in the room till he is asleep, and he said that is fine. I hope this makes a difference when he wakes up from it all. He had a really hard time. He just kept saying, "I want to go home!" He just said that over and over again. Please just keep him in your prayers for a fast recovery. Thanks to thoughs that were praying for him before. We will keep everyone updated.

Gordon B. Hinckley

I just want to express my feeling about Pres. Hinckleys passing. I'm deeply sadden and yet joyful of Pres. Hinckleys passing. How wonderful it is to know that he is being greeted by thousands with open arms. What a marvlous site that would be to see. He has touched so many and he will never be forgot. He was the first Prophet i remember having an impact on my life and my family. He never was ashamed of his faith or afraid to share it with the world. He just had a way with people and was able to reach them on a personal level. I'm truely greatful for him and the example he was to the world. I'm greatful for my family for the love and support they have for me. I know this church is true, i feel it in my heart and I'm greatful to be able to share it with my family and others. I'm greatful for my parents making the right choices so that i can enjoy the blessing of being an eternal family. I love my friends and family. I hope we will embrace life just like Gordon B. Hinckley did. That we don't let time pass us by and embrace all that is good in this world and share our love for one another. Because we never tell each other enough how much we appriecate one another. Pres. Hinckley was a perfect example of what our Savior Jesus Christ wants us to be. I love all of you and i'm greatful all of you.

Here is a picture of Wyatt in his first split. He has a new one one since the surgery. Next week he will get his cast.

Busted!

So, I just want to update everyone on the recent events, I will definitely post some pictures in a little bit.
On Sunday morning i was preparing to put Clayton done for a nap, I was filling the humidafier and the kids were making their beds. All of a sudden i heard Wyatt fall and heard him scream like a little girl. He had fallen off the latter from his bunk bed. It was obvious that he broke his arm. Yes, my little boy, broke his arm. And he broke it good. He broke it on the growth plate. I woke up josh and he took Wyatt to the emergancy room. They took xrays and put a split on it. Well, after getting the run around from doctors. We got everything figured out. Wyatt went into surgery today to get everything put back together. It has been a ruff day for him today. We will see the doctor in two weeks to get a real cast on. So its been a long week with Wyatt in a split, and it will be another long two weeks with this new split. But the out come is suppose to be fine. I will post some pictures later. Just thought I would let everyone know what happened. Oh and Clayton is rolling over now...yeahhh Clayton!
