Fall

So I'm way behind on trying to keep up with this! But I have a good excuse...well two of them really :) One is 21 months and the other is almost 2 months (how did that happen so fast???) That and we've just been going going going lately, so when the choice is go to bed early or update the blog....I'm usually already asleep.

The rides have been crazy lately at the barn. We keep saying "Next week it'll slow down" and then the next week is crazier than the week before. So glad everyone is getting out and enjoying the fall! It has been a very pretty one, so I think that is partly the reason for the craziness this year. We're not complaining though! :)

The boys are doing great! Both seem to be growing like weeds lately! I can't keep up with clothes...I feel like I'm constantly having to go through and pull the non-fitting clothes and putting in the next size up in their closets. No more newborn clothes, and Wyatt is almost in toddler clothing. How are they getting so big already??! I still can't wrap my head around the fact that Wyatt is about to turn two in a few months...that just seems crazy to me.

Cole is doing well, a little fussy, but he's eating great and sleeping pretty well at night (knock on wood) so that's a saving grace. He's starting to make some sounds and smile at us which just makes us laugh. He's got that smile that just makes his whole face light up...amazing!! :) 

Wyatt is wanting to help more and more, so we're trying to find ways to let him help with things. Robb has even started working on potty training some with him as he's gotten more and more interested in it. My favorite was the other day, Robb was going to the bathroom and Wyatt went in and stood beside him and started clapping and saying "Yay!!" for Daddy going to the potty. HaHa!! at least he understands it :)

Robb and I are doing well, just tired (wonder why....). We're both ready for another trip to Jamaica :)  Or somewhere else warm and tropical would do just fine as well...we're not picky!! haha working on finishing up moving all the rooms around and putting the house together when we've got the energy left at the end of the day to work on it. We got our room moved into the new room now and are loving the space. Next up, moving the guest room and the nursery. We're almost there!

Other than that, just getting geared up for the holiday season and all that it brings!

Happy Wednesday everyone!!

Someone wants to be the baby again...

Pumpkin Patch

This morning the boys and I went to a local pumpkin patch to check it out.  The weather was too nice to stay inside and I wanted to try to find some fun things to do around here on the weekends to get us all out of the house some. One of my friends, Crystal, came along with us. I was a little disappointed, but luckily, Wyatt is young enough he didn't care, so it was ok. It wasn't really a pumpkin patch like it was advertised, and their petting zoo left a little to be desired, but Wyatt enjoyed it, so no complaints there!

Rides are still going strong, so Robb is staying busy.  The leaves are really starting to get into full color, especially on some of the higher elevations. I really love this time of year! :)

Wyatt has really seemed to enjoy the daycare he's going to. He started this week for a couple of mornings just half day. He's still upset to see us go when we leave him in the mornings, but the teachers said he's doing great after the initial upset. So that's good!

Cole is doing great! I think we may have figured out what was upsetting his tummy so much and hopefully will have that all cleared up now. He's been a different baby this afternoon, so I'm hoping this continues and he won't be in so much pain after he eats every time anymore. He's really starting to spend more time awake just taking everything in. He's rolled over a couple of times, once I rolled him back over and he just went and rolled right back over, so it appears to be intentional. The kid has crazy head/neck control. I think he's just showing off :)

Other than that, just getting in a groove this week with me back to work and everyone trying to get on board with how we'll make this work. It wasn't as bad as I was prepared for, so I think we'll make it ;)

Happy Saturday!!

Hanging out

Hey there!

Hanging out with my friends

New!

In an effort to get myself more motivated, I've decided to step up this blog a little more. It will be evolving into something different in the coming weeks...of what it's final look and purpose will be, is still to be determined. I'm going to let it evolve as it goes and see what we get. Today I added a new pages feature to the right of the posts that'll offer additional pages, such as recipes and lists of things I am working on to start with. Hopefully this will help motivate me more to start doing the things I say I'm going to and hopefully make for entertaining reading for you! :)

Happy Reading!

1 Month!

I can't believe it's been a month already since Cole got here! He is doing so amazing! He's eating well and growing like crazy. Such a sweet baby! Wyatt is really enjoying helping out with his little brother as well. He brings his bottles and shakes them up, puts his paci in his mouth when he yells, tells me when he's yelling (haha) never a dull moment, that is for sure!

I start back to work tomorrow and Wyatt starts daycare a couple of days a week this week. All the fall colors are starting to show, so I'm sure all of the fall visitors are on their way up soon and our fall season will be in full swing!

Here are a few pictures from the hospital when Cole was born...all done by my fabulous personal photographer, Wendy :)

Happy October!!

Oh sweet epidural!
