First Hiking Trip

Today was such a perfect day to be outside and Robb was done early with the barn...so we decided to go on a little hiking adventure (first one with Wyatt). So we headed up to one of our favorite spots, Standing Indian (also where we got engaged almost 2 years ago). Robb had seen something recently about a few waterfall trails up there that we hadn't been to so we decided to scope it out. Wyatt loved being outside with us! He laughed and talked and giggled the whole way! It was such a fun afternoon!

Getting ready to go!

We started out with the stroller...

And quickly changed to the carrier instead!

Our family! (Wyatt not so sure about the closeup...)

Jenna's Birthday

Last weekend we went to Brevard and spent some time visiting with everyone there. We also went to a birthday party for Jenna (she turned 2 years old!) and had a blast watching everyone on the water slides and playing! So much fun! Needless to say, we forgot to bring the present over to the party, so Jenna came over the next day to open her present while we were still in town. Wyatt decided he needed to help her open it...here's the scene:

Happy Birthday Jenna!

Notice Jenna's face...haha (she was smiling)

Can I help?

What? I was helping!

Yummy paper....

While in Brevard Wyatt also learned about the piano with GG...

Pianos are fun!

And then there were three...

We now officially have 3 teeth and a happy baby (for now)! And he's figured out how to go from laying down to sitting up all by his self. It's a busy time around here!

We took Wyatt outside this afternoon for a little breather and to enjoy the pretty weather after the crazy rainy weekend we had and he discovered Roscoe and wanted to play, but Roscoe wasn't so sure and kept his distance...

Hope everyone's week is off to a good start!

Crawling!

So I wanted to stay home with Wyatt because I couldn't stand the idea of missing a single "first" and today is proof that I did the right thing. I was working in the office when the sitter yelled "He's crawling momma!" and I looked out and sure enough, Wyatt was crawling across the floor! :)
Look out world, here he comes!

Playing with photo editor...

Just playing around with a photo editor...what do you think?

I have two teeth!

My blanket goes everywhere with me!

Hey! Did you know I'm 7 months old today?

I like the tractor!

On the tractor with my Daddy!

I can't believe our little guy is 7 months old already!! Time flies!

Food!

Food has become a new obsession of our son...everything we eat or drink he watches and shrieks for a taste. So we've begun letting him explore more foods and tastes. We're giving him bites and sips of what we're eating, and so far he's loving being able to try new things. His favorite thing is when he can actually bite something off with his two little teeth (like a piece of cracker). He bites it off and then laughs. It's so cute! So needless to say, we're off to the store this week to get more baby friendly finger foods for him to experiment with.

I survived my first weekend on call with my new job. Very little going on, so it was a good first weekend on call. I stuck around the house because of this and got caught up on a few things. Finished painting all of the trim in the office (besides the ceiling trim) now that the new windows are in. Got caught up on cleaning and laundry and spent some good fun quality time with Wyatt and Robb, so that was fun! :) I think we've decided for my sanity that it's finally time to break down and get a Blackberry so the weekends I am on call, I can still get out and about some without having to stay attached to my computer. I so didn't want to be one of those people, but I think it's appropriate now...oh well...

Some new pictures to leave everyone with for now...

Playing in his crib after a nap

Attack baby!!! (and yes...there is leftover dinner on his face...)

"It's about time you realized I was awake"

I know there's food in there...

No Sir!

We are learning what No Sir means in our house right now. Currently, Robb or I say, "No Sir" when Wyatt is doing something he's not supposed to, and Wyatt does this:

New Windows!

Our new windows are being put in as I speak! I can't wait to show you the difference it has made already in the few rooms they've done! It's crazy!!! I'm so excited!!

Ready for Fall

So I've decided that I'm ready for fall! This summer has been so hot and so busy...I want a break!! :) (and I'm sure this winter I'll be complaining that I'm ready for hot weather...)

We had a good weekend...with the busiest Saturday of the year for some reason...I think Robb was at the barn 13 hours? Such a long day, but good to get the busiest part of the summer behind us (we think anyways...) We're looking a little less crazy this week so far. And I think we've decided it's time to buy some more horses and get them ready for next year. We couldn't be more happy with the year we're having so far though! So glad everyone has been so supportive and excited about us moving the business to a new location. We've really been pleased with the response.

Here are some pictures from our weekend:

Everyone was tuckered out after Saturday.

Levi on his "bed' that he's made when we're outside and he's tired.

Story time with Daddy!

Watching Levi play fetch...he wanted to play so bad with him!

Reading with Daddy

I wish the lighting was better...but you get the idea! :)

I Really Love to Eat!

Peek-a-Boo

Tooth #2!

Tooth #2 has finally made it's appearance! We're so excited! I was so shocked to have such a happy baby yesterday after a couple of weeks of hurting, and then today I finally saw it breaking through. Yay!

We are starting to get our act together and figure this whole me working from home thing out. I think we've finally found a sitter that will be great to keep Wyatt here with us and help out some with the barn, so that'll be great! Wyatt seems to really like her too, so that's a big plus.

Our beach trip is booked (thanks Mom and Dad!) so we're excited to have that to look forward to in a little over a month! It'll be good to get away and spend some time together with some of our family as well. I'm a little nervous that Wyatt will be crawling by that point, though, and into everything...his little knees are working their way up under him now...it's only a matter of time...we were so enjoying the non-mobile, stay where I put you, stage! hehe Time to start baby proofing the house!

Wyatt has loved being able to help his momma at work...
