Potty Trained

Well, we finally made it! Wyatt is potty trained. And this was his incentive and it worked. He got to go up and ride on the Big Thomas. We told him we would take him if he kept going in the potty. It was off and on for a while. He'd wanna wear a diaper, then he'd wanna wear underwear. Once I told him he could ride on Thomas, he decided that's what he wanted to do. It was pretty easy once he got the hang of it, and I'm so proud of him. It was about three weeks ago when I made this promise. Since he doesn't quite grasp the concept of time, he began to think he was never going to ride on it. As we got closer to the event, I'd ask him if he wanted to ride on Thomas, and he would reply, "Wyatt's too big." Once we pulled up to the Heber Creeper and Thomas the Tank was at the head, he realized that he would get to ride Thomas. Felicia and I took our kids up(minus Misty), and had a fun time.

The picture above is at the Dairy Keen where we ate before we headed over to the fairgrounds. They had Thomas chugging through the whole restaurant, and every kids' meal came with a wooden whistle.

They got to meet Sir Topham Hat, who is apparently scary. Felicia had to step in to make them feel more comfortable by him.

They had play centers, movies, and a gift shop. We played in all these places while we waited to ride the train.

We finally got on the train. The kids enjoyed themselves, and the weather was nice.

Me and my boys.

Felicia, Kaylee, and Dusty. They all got a little viewfinder. Dusty is treating it like a camera.

It was hard to keep them still in their picture with Thomas. They just wanted to look at him.

Skipping Dinner

Do you think he was hungry this morning?

See this guy? He LOVES to jump. We swear he'll be a ball player and have mad hops with how much he jumps everyday! Off couches, beds, stools....oh and when music plays, hopping around is his dancing. Well, thanks to Aunt Charity, he got to be in heaven and jump in a padded, netted, child-sized place for an hour and a half straight. It was her daughter's birthday, and she invited us up. It was pretty fun. So if your child is like mine, you may enjoy a family outing to Jump On It. Did I mention kids 3 and under are FREE?

Easter

Easter is pretty low-key with young ones when you basically do the egg-coloring for them. But it was fun. Cousins Dusty and Kaylee came over, and the kids had a blast.

Wyatt's egg with W's all around it. He's obsessed with the letter "W for Wyatt."

We hid the eggs in our basement, because the weather was no good.

They all had a good time and got lots of candy!

I just wanted to play around with these fun collages, and do a fun post about my kids. They are all growing like weeds, and I know I'll be sorry if I don't write down some of these fun things.

Morgan, as you can see, is such a happy guy. His cheeks are SO irresistable to everyone that holds him. That includes kissing, pinching, touching, gnawing, zerberting, you name it. And MOM is the worst! He LOVES attention. He wants people to talk to him so he can tell them his stories. He has the best stories in the world. He loves to be swaddled--TIGHT, in order to go to sleep.(Just like Wyatt and Misty did) I love his chubbiness and his big blue eyes.

Misty is my little poser/entertainer. The other day, I caught her talking to Morgan while he was propped up on the couch. His hand was in a fist, so she says, "Knuckles," then proceeds to give him knuckles. Then she holds her open hand open and says,"fives" then pulls it away and says, "too slow!" Then she tops it off with her fake sounding laugh and says, "Funny!" I was so glad I got to see that. It made my day! She's such a cute little talker, and loves to play and wrestle with her dad and brother. She also loves to rock and cuddle her dollies and wrap them in blankets.

Wyatt is my little sweetheart. He just randomly comes up and grabs my face and kisses me. Whenever we leave from visiting family, he goes up to EVERYONE and says, "I need a kiss." Then he puts his hands on their cheeks and gently pulls them in for a kiss. He loves to be tickled. When I get him dressed daily, he always says,"Tickle me Mom!" And he has the cutest laugh! If you say to him, "Guess what?" he sweetly answers, "I Love YOU!!" He says his own prayers at night, and he loves to sing. He memorizes songs really well, just like his daddy.

Morgan's Blessing Day

On March 7, Morgan Roscoe received a beautiful blessing for his life on this earth. We just love this little guy so much. He is so special, and has brought even more joy into our lives. He was a little older than our others were when they were blessed. We were lucky to fit him into this cute little tux his Grandma May gave him. She also crocheted the afghan. Thanks mom!

Proud parents.

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!
