Birthday Boy

This wasn't quite a month ago. So I'm doing okay, right? I hate that all my posts seem to be catch up, but what do ya do? Ross turned 29 this year. He was gone all day to do training at work. When he got home, we had lasagna and bread sticks ready. That is the reason Misty isn't wearing a shirt. We sang happy birthday and had cake and ice cream. The kids even made him a card. I traced all of their hands on it. Then Wyatt drew train tracks and Misty colored some pretty back and forth scribbles. Ross could even tell whose was whose.

We all love this man so much. The perfect father and husband in our eyes.
Happy Birthday Hon!

Update

A few weeks ago was my birthday. Ross and I went on a shopping/lunch date. I got some new shoes, and we ate at the Pizza Factory. I felt really spoiled this year. I had lunch with my friends Amy and Justine a few days before my birthday. On my birthday, my sister, Erika received her endowments, so I got to go to the Manti temple for a session with my family. Erika married her sweetheart the next morning, which I was lame about and didn't take any pictures. The reception was so beautiful and she looked like a princess. We're so happy to have Travis join our family. Then the next next week, I got together with my sisters-in-law for lunch to celebrate my and Bonnie's birthdays. It was fun to get together, and I felt so lucky to spend time with the ones I love for my birthday.

The next weekend we traveled down to Nevada for the reception down there. I brought my camera with the intention to get some pics. I took it out at the park and realized that the battery was dying and all I got was a few pictures before it died :( The weather was BEAUTIFUL!!! Notice the green grass. It was so fun to get out and play with the kids at the park. That is unheard of this time of year up here.

Misty saw that I got the camera out to take pictures of this....

Ross was playing basketball the other night and landed on someone turning his ankle pretty bad. When he told me he heard a POP I automatically thought he broke it. We're still not sure what the description of the injury is because he refuses to have someone look at it. He says it feels better, but the bruising is getting worse. I must say for being a little laid up, he's still been pretty helpful around the house. There have been moments where I felt like I was waiting on another kid, but Ross is pretty tough and doesn't seem to be milking it like he could be. He's even gone to work when he could easily be taking some sick days. What a great example he is!

Our baby boy is two months old now. We took him to the doc for his well-child visit, and he weighs 10 lbs. 1 oz and is 22 inches long. He's in the 25th percentile for his weight and 35th for his height. We were surprised it wasn't higher. I guess he just looks so chubby to us compared to our previous baby, Misty. But look at those cheeks!! It's a workout for him to smile. Which he does quite often, but not when I get the camera out. He just makes this face...

I seriously took five pictures and they all look EXACTLY like this. He's such a good baby and loves it when his brother and sister give him kisses. His eyes are blue for now.

Hi Ho! Hi Ho!

The latest movie in our family has been "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs." Wyatt and Misty's favorite part is when the dwarfs leave for work singing the famous "Hi Ho!"They clap and jump and dance around. My favorite part is later on in the day when Wyatt runs the loop in our house chanting, "Hi ho, hi ho. It's off a work e go! Er reeber reeber reeber ree! Hi ho, hi ho! Guess we know what whistling sounds like in a child's words.

Sleepy Smiles

I have a new smile in my life to melt my heart. What a cutie!

It's a Boy!

Our little sweetheart, Morgan Roscoe, was born on December 30, 2009 at 10:14 AM. He weighed in at 6lbs 14 oz and was 19 inches long. He rolled from one side to another the moment they put him on the warming bed to clean him up. The nurses were so surprised, but I guess I should have warned them. He's been a VERY active baby since the first time I felt him move.

So in love!

Brothers--Wyatt an Morgan. Is Virgil next???

Misty LOVES the "bebe". She likes to put her face down by him and say "Hi. Hi. Hi."

P.S. There are two new posts below this. Please keep scrolling down to get our whole month of December. I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We sure did.

Christmas EVE!

Christmas in our home was practically effortless for me this year. I did most of my shopping online, and come December 1st, Ross had our tree cut and setup. So I got the fun and easy part of decorating. I guess I needed the energy to plan the May Family Christmas Party. Ross and I were in charge and were fortunate enough to be able to use the Cox Family Cabin. We got to snowmobile into the cabin and spend three or four days together. It was so fun. All the children had a blast playing outside in the snow, and all the adults were so grateful for such a place to stay together for a weekend. That took place the weekend before Christmas.

Ross had to work the 23rd-26th on the week of Christmas so we had to make some adjustments. We thought about waking up Wyatt and Misty at 5am to open presents before dad had to leave, but Ross wanted to be able to spend some time with them after they opened their presents. So on Christmas Eve, I took the kids to Wal-Mart just before Ross would get home. Santa got everything ready by the time we got back from the store. Even though we didn't get to wake them up and tell them Santa came, they were just as excited to find that he had come while we were gone to the store.

Sorry for the picture overload. I was just as excited as they were. Christmas is even more fun now, since my kids are older, than when I was little.

Excited to get started.

What did Santa bring?

Before we went to bed, we had a little basketball game in Wyatt's room with his gift from Santa.

Misty was the cheerleader...

Yeah right! Look at those skills!!

Christmas day we headed over to spend Christmas evening with the Baileys. Traditional pizza party with games and presents. It was so fun to be able to see almost everyone in mine and Ross' family for the holidays.

Turning 3!

My little man turned three last month. He's getting so big. I kept asking him what kind of cake he wanted for his birthday. If you know my son, when he's asked a question, he'll just repeat the question. He's getting better at responding, but I gave up and decided to go simple with a candy cane cake. You can tell he loved the "W for Wyatt". That is what he is saying in this picture, and I proudly predicted this response. So I felt better about not wanting to go all out on a Thomas the Train cake. He was excited, and that made me happy.

The dinner guests: Kaylee, Aunt Felicia, Dusty...

Grandma May, Papa and Grandma Bailey, and Aunt Corinne

PRESENTS!

Misty has to be in front of the camera saying, "CHEEEEESE!"
She still has potatoes on her face :)

I had to throw this picture in. This is a usual sight for us in the morning. He makes his way across the hall to the bathroom during the night. Maybe he secretly wants to be potty-trained?? Or maybe he's a little sleep-walker like his dad was as a child. Too funny.

Wyatt has ALWAYS been a great helper. He loves to play with his little sister and dad. He'll come up and give me the nicest hug and kiss and say, "Nice Loves". He just melts my heart with his giggles and smiles. He's learning his letters and colors and counts to ten. He also loves to work puzzles, and that has become on of his favorite things to do! He's always been an observant learner, so he had to watch the puzzle be put together before he would try, and he is doing so well. We love you so much Wyatt! You bring us so much joy.
