Happy Birthday Wyatt!

Wyatt's real birthday.. He got to pick out the restaurant (Micheal's of course!) , then go to Toys R Us and pick out one toy ( I thought it was a great idea until he picked out legos.. when did they get so expensive?! One airplane was more expensive than a trip on Southwest!) Then home for cake and ice cream.... " I did not have any blue icing!"
Papa's birthday the day after Wyatts..... Love this - look close.. Zach is holding Wyatt's mouth so he will not blow out the candles and out of no where sissy does the job!
I am 5! Let the party begin!
Papa enjoyed himself.. their birthdays are one day apart so it is always a fun filled week full of cake and icecream! (and an extra 5 lbs)Pam was sweet enough to take all the pictures and it was cute going though all 200 of them seeing papa about every 10th shot! They are in love.. she kept saying " I think I have a good shot of him in a better light!" Too cute.
Even Zach enjoyed himself :)
Camo princess. She was not exactly thrilled about wearing this outfit.. she said "Princesses do not wear camo!" This one did.
My future son in law...

My sweet neighbor Leah.. 2 of her 3 boys.. all 3 and under!

Wyatt's very first best buddy.. they were inseparable as babies and so cute!
Best buddy Jay
Nothing like fried chicken, mash potatoes, okra, rolls and gravy on a Friday night!
The dig. It was not as successful as I hoped for.. I ended up throwing all the toys out and the kids had buckets to dig for the "treasures" but Zach got tired of buring the treasures in the hard sand so it was more like a free for all!
This picture just makes me smile. Anna is so happy, running around waving the flag.. how much more American can a Friday night get?!
Again, just full of Joy..and Sammy in his Camo.
Wow, spoiled little boy!
My handsome boy


Yes, would you expect anything different?! Matching outfits. I am wondering how long I can do this for!
Amber, Casey and Mommy...oh and baby Joseph

The cake.. it was a hit. Leslie R made it then I went to Academy and bought the deer hunting kit to stick on top.. all about camo this year.
Make a wish!
Airplanes and boys.


So hard to believe my baby is 5. He is such a blessing. I have really learned so much from him in his short 5 years and he has made me a better person and better mom. I love his morning cuddles, I love his beautiful smile, and excitement for life. I pray everyday he will grow up and love like Jesus, I know if he does he will be just fine.

At 5 he still loves cars, old cars especially.. he loves airplanes (Papa has this whole room covered in airplanes hanging from the ceiling), he loves Loony toons, Tom and Jerry and video games on my phone. Anything outdoors, loves riding his bike, and playing with friends. Favorite color is Blue.. favorite food Chicken and steak and anything with sugar. He has a real sweet tooth that comes naturally :). This year he played soccer the team was the Blue Devils (the moms did not come up with that one!) and did pretty good (at least he looked cute in his uniform) . He is doing gymnastics and is really making improvements in his coordination. He joined the church choir and says he hates it, but still goes and smiles doing it! (Zach said the same thing! ) Oh, and loves to hunt squirrels and birds in the back yard and go to the lease with Papa...

Every day is a new adventure and I love it. (Even though I am exhausted by 8pm)
We had a great birthday party.. Just and old fashioned park party and the kids had a ball. I ordered Bushes Chicken, we had adult drinks and kid drinks and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. We have great support, great family and friends.
