Wyatt is 2!!!!

Wyatt's 2nd birthday was this past Saturday and we had a full day! Ma and Papa Edwards came up to the farm as well as Aunt Stacey and her boyfriend Justin. Once the Holt side got to our house, Wyatt didn't know who to play with next!

Wyatt's Aunt Stacey made his cake, complete with Elmo and Cookie Monster.

A Thomas train set from the Goodall's. Thanks, he loves "choo-choos"!

"Please read me this book Ma"

A cool trike from Grandma and Papa Holt.

Wyatt had a hard time opening all the gifts, he wanted to immediately play with the ones he opened. We started hiding them so he could open the next gift. Thank you to our family for the great gifts and the good time we had at Wyatt's party!

Independance Day 09

Per tradition, we went to Derek's Grandma Vesta's house for the Fourth of July. We have Black Angus hamburgers, homemade ice cream, and watch all the fireworks being shot-off in town. Vesta's house is on a high hill north of Savannah. I bought $6.25 worth of fireworks this year to introduce Wyatt to them; the poppers spooked him, fountains were boring but sparklers were the bomb! Enjoy the video of Wyatt with his first sparkler!

After 4 sparklers, it was a little smokey. But it drove a lot of the flies away!

Wyatt and Grandma Terri raided the toy box at Vesta's. This old mailbox was Aunt LouAnn's and still entertains a youngster. While looking at these pictures later, Derek and I discovered Wyatt and Joe Lyle were dressed alike! If only we had remembered Wyatt's cowboy hat, darn!

Yummm, Pa-pa Bill loves to feed his grandchildren ice cream! Watch out Janae!

Earlier in the day on the 4th, Wyatt and I drove up to Mound City to watch their parade. The Ryan's invited us to sit at their house on the parade route and many other school friends were there! The Quinlin's sat with us and their 2 kids (Andrew and Lauren) were very good with Wyatt! Which is good because they have a little sibling due very soon, but not soon enough for Landi! She was so sympathetic when I was pregnant with Wyatt and I try to return the favor now.

Here are Wyatt and Lauren patiently waiting for the tractor portion of the parade. The Quinlin kids were right on top of the candy being thrown out and would share it with Wyatt (who had no clue what was going on, he would go nuts if they were throwing out bananas!) We came home with a nice little stash of suckers and gum, thanks guys!

Tractors and a Wedding

Okay, I am a little behind on updating my blog, bear with me. The last weekend in June was a busy one. I headed to Columbia (alone!) to attend the wedding of my childhood friend Laura Uptergrove and Jonathan Jones. We say we are each others' oldest friends because we, plus her sister Sarah and cousin Alaina, went to the same babysitters house (Nana's!) I had a great time and loved hanging out with Kristin and her guys, Sarah, Leslie, Holly, Emma and Hannah at the reception and hotel.

Bride and Groom with the cake. I was having so much fun I forgot to take many pictures.

Before I let NWMO, Wyatt and I got up early so we were ready to watch the Show-Me tractor cruise go through Savannah. We went to the Schweiser's house to play with Cole and Cooper. Their neighbors were nice enough to invite us to sit in their driveway to wait for the tractors. Over 270 tractors drove from Savannah to Helena to St. Joe and back that day to raise money for charity.

"Tractor, Tractor, Tractor!"

Cole and Wyatt kept Allison and I VERY BUSY!

Wyatt's 2 year pictures

I took Wyatt to JCPenney's this week to get his 2 year old pictures taken. He did VERY good for the photos, but was a handful afterwards when I was trying to order the pictures. Penney's portrait studio takes good and inexpensive picture (with a coupon!) but I hate having to decide what I want right then. And then they push these multi-pics on you for big bucks. I picked out what I think I wanted and paid for the option to have digital copies to share with all of you! Enjoy!
