Sorry so long!!

We have been so busy lately it seems! So I have neglected this blog a bit...but I'm back! :)

Let's see...we found out we are having another boy!! So excited that Wyatt will have a brother! And now we can finally stop with the what if planning method and start getting organized and ready for baby number 2. Although I'm finding it horribly hard to not want to go buy a whole new wardrobe for the new baby...haha Baby number 2 looks healthy and great so far, so we're just excited to get a good report!

Wyatt is doing great! He's getting much faster with his walking and I'm waiting for the day he just breaks out in a run...that'll be the end haha He's starting to try to talk more now that he's realized his signs that he uses mean words, now he'll sign and say More (which sounds like momma, but we know what he's meaning). And he's trying to mimic more sounds and words that we say. He loves being outside, so thankfully with so much nice weather lately (and a new laptop battery) that is where we spend most of our days now. He's content to just play around the house and in the yard, so I'm still able to get some work done while he's happily playing around outside, which is an amazing compromise :) He's become so in love with riding the horses lately, it's unreal. He can't be around them without wanting to be on them and he has amazing balance when he's up there. I think we're going to have a natural horseman just like his daddy!

We got a new barn up this past week to help with hay storage this year. It looks great! Wyatt loved watching them put it up and seeing all the tools they were using. I'll post pictures of that soon.

We've been getting the summer flowers and bushes planted over the past couple of weeks. We even got a couple of blackberry bushes planted, to bring our fruit total to grapes, blackberries and peaches! We're still considering adding some blueberry bushes or some apple trees eventually. We love our fruit!!

Happy Friday!!!

Sticks and Kitty Cats

There has been a dramatic shift in our family this week...Daisy went from running quickly away from Wyatt, to actually playing with him!! And he loves it! haha it's been fun to watch these two evolve into friends. Sometimes she'll even let him pet her! My favorite is today we were picking up all the limbs out of the yard from the recent wind storm and Wyatt would drag a limb behind him and Daisy would run up and pounce on it from behind. This of course upset Wyatt as he thought she was trying to steal his toy limb. And so this happened several times and became funnier each time :)

Wyatt loves to run around and pick up all the sticks for us...if only he'd put them in the wheelbarrow like we want and not just insist on carrying them everywhere with us. But it's still cute!

Last night we were up at the big barn feeding the new horse we just got in for boarding and cleaning out his stall. We decided instead of insisting on Wyatt in his stroller like we've always done while doing chores, that we'd try letting him run around some now that he's walking everywhere consistently. Best Idea Ever. He Loved his new found freedom and the fact that if he wanted to walk up and down that long barn aisle 20 times, he could. He eventually decided he was done and walked out to the truck and pointed at the door to get in. Slept like a log and woke up laughing. Maybe we should do that every night!

Two more weeks and we should find out if we're having a boy or a girl for baby number 2!! Can't wait!

Happy Monday everyone!!

Playing with Daisy

Whole new meaning to pick up sticks.

Lots of sticks!

We even put some sticks in our truck for safe keeping.

Yay for sticks!

You can have this one, I'm done with it.

hmmm actually, I want that one back.
