Wyatt's First day of Kindergarten!

Finally.... This day has been a dream for my little Wyatt since he knew what a school bus was. So probably since he was two years old. Every year when school would start he would ask me if he would be able to go that year. And sadly I had to break his tiny heart and tell him no not quite yet!

August 28, 2013 finally showed its face to my little sunshine boy! He got up like a champ, ate breakfast, put on a brand new outfit with his new shoes, and let me fix his hair real nice. Time was ticking slowly for this little guy that Morning. Every five minutes he would ask if it was time to go yet.

  Just waking up, still very early and  dark 

                  All ready to go

   Baby brother wanted to be by his side

        Had to get one of his back pack

As we walked into the school hand in hand his smile quickly melted, he realized just how many kids and unfamiliar faces there were walking around scrambling trying to find their classrooms and to meet their new teachers. I walked him to his classroom and helped him hang up his backpack and jacket. I felt a tear roll down my cheek, as I thought back to the day he was born and how perfect and beautiful he was. Nothing else mattered in the whole world but him. His little hand grabbed a little tighter to mine just as the first bell rang to start his very first day of school ever in his life. A day that he had been waiting for, for a very long time.

Before I walked away, I leaned over to give him a hug and I guess I didn't realize just how many tears were rolling down my cheek. His little arms fit so perfectly around my neck when he wispered in my ear these precious words that i will forever hold close to my heart for the rest of my life. "Mom I will be ok" "You don't have to cry when I am happy"  "I will always be your sunshine boy" he must have known that is what I needed to hear  in order to be able to let go and walk back to my car.

The day seemed like it was never going to end, all I wanted to know is how my baby boy was doing? Or if he even likes it? Was it what he was expecting, or more? Does he know anybody or is he feeling alone? Is he missing me as much as I miss him? Will he get on the right school bus that takes him to the daycare after school? And on and on it played over and over in my head.

At 3:30 sharp I called him at the daycare from work to see if he made it there ok. He immediately started telling me about his day and talking so fast I could barely hear a word he was saying. I was just so glad to hear his first day went very well. He loved it!

My little sunshine boy is growing up, wheather I want him to or not. He has his whole life ahead of him, still so much to learn. And this was only the first day. I think I had a worse time adjusting to this new adventure than he did. But this is a big day for little kids, and mothers only want their babies to feel safe and comforted at all times. He has already shown his momma just how tough he can be, it takes courage and strength to walk away from your momma at such a young age without even looking back. So proud of my handsome Mr.

I love u baby boy.... To the Moon and Back!!

Memorial Weekend

This weekend started out with getting the yard mowed and cleaned up just in case it rained. Every memorial weekend that i can ever remember has always been cold and rainy. I knew that if i didn't get it done Friday that i probably wouldn't have the chance for a while. With me scheduled to work all memorial weekend i rushed to get things done. Our little Talon wanted to ride with me so bad i couldn't resist his cute face. It didn't take long and he was asleep. Who does that??? Who can sleep that soundly on a riding lawn mower. Oh my goodness my kids always keep me wondering LOL

After working long hours all weekend i decided we should go put flowers up on my moms grave,  I am so happy that the weather has decided to be half decent the whole weekend. It was beautiful up there with all the pretty flowers on all the graves. There was even this nice gentlemen up there that offered to take our pic for us. This is how they turned out and i am pretty impressed.

Wyatt and Talon did such a good job helping put the flowers out nicely that i let them get a pic with their daddy up on the big rock right behind my moms grave. I love those boys to death and i don't know what i would ever do without them in my life, yes i know i am out numbered but that just means i am their princess!! And i wouldn't have it any other way, i love all the love that is in our home. It is always a nice feeling to come home to these faces.

Baby Kitten

As much as i felt like we didn't need another kitty after we lost our little Binx, it had to happen!!

I just felt like it was so wrong to just replace him like nothing even happened. But on the other hand i hated to see my little Wyatt cry so much because his kitty was never coming back.

Soo we went kitten hunting and found a couple families with litte kittys, we let Wyatt pick one out and name it. He named this little guy Ase. So far so good, Wyatt quit crying and is loving on this new little kitty.

Me on the other hand, i love the new kitty there is already a spot in my heart he is filling for his own love he is fitting in very well but, i love my little Binx and there will always be a hole in my heart that just can not be filled.

This little kitten never stops moving so all the pics i have of him are kinda blurry!!

Binx

Today was a very sad day in our home. Our kitty Binx went and joined all our loved ones in heaven. He will forever be missed  and be in our hearts forever! We love u kitter Binx

Let me tell you Bink's story....

One very cold December night I recieved a phone from my mom asking if we would like a kitten, one of her friends found it in her driveway freezing. My mom knew she couldn't take it so she offered it to us. We weren't sure if we wanted another pet but after talking with Mike for a bit we decided that Wyatt (1 at the time) would love a little kitty to play with so we said yes!! He was very loving from the very beginning and Wyatt packed this little kitty everywhere. Wrapped him in blankets and dressed him in clothes. Binx would just lay there through it all. After a while of keeping the kitty in the house we decided to let him outside to play. He instantly had a seizure and did every time he went out for the longest time or until he got used to the outdoors. We didnt think he would live long anyways and i couldnt afford seizure medication every month so we decided to just wait and see what would happen.This continued for a while and started happening more frequently whether he was inside or out. 

After we moved back to the valley he only had one which was amazing and we have been back a year and a half. It seemed to be healing itself on its own.

Today I got the kids ready to go on a walk, got shoes on and the stroller out headed down the drive way and noticed that Binx was following us he loved going on walks. Wyatt and Binx went ahead a little ways and I told Wyatt to stop before he got to close to the road it was close to 5 pm and cars were everywhere. Binx usually would stop when we did but he didn't this time and got hot by a fast traveling car. Wyatt instantly started crying and ran home for dad. 

Mike came and got him out of the road, brought him home wrapped him in his favorite blanket that he would find every night no matter where it was in the house and sleep all night. While mike was digging a hole me and the kids went and picked flowers for his little grave. 

Binx was just like another kid in the house, he was the only cat I knew that love love loved buffalo chicken wings and would beg for us to share if we were eating them for dinner. He will surely be missed and know that he will always hold a special place in our hearts and home. But Wyatt said his grandma needed him more than we did. Love u Binxy!!! 

Best decision I ever made was taking him into our home.

Wyatt is 5

Wyatt just had his 5th Birthday on April 29th. He thinks he is a little older than he is already with the attitude he gives us already it's kinda scary. Makes me wonder what life ahead will be like. He is an all around amazing kid. Life would not be the same without him in it. This year is the beginning of a whole new chapter in Wyatt's little life.... Well and for me!!
Kindergarten and all new friends staying up late when he had little sleep overs!!!

I remember the second I found out I was pregnant with this little guy. Everything changed from that moment on, I knew that he was going to be amazing! And when he was born I never knew I could love another person so much, but then he came and everything got a little bit sweeter! Being his mom is the best gift I have ever received, when his baby brother came I knew they would be the best of friends. Here are a few pics of him and how much he has grown in the last five years.

Talon's 2nd Birthday

On April 11, 2011 my sweet baby boy came into this world he was such a sweet baby from the very first day. He had his own little personality and never cried. I always wanted to have a baby that slept through the night and I sure got what I asked for. It has always made me wonder if my mom had anything to do with that, I remember telling her right before she passed away that I was pregnant and as long as this baby slept and ate really good without crying I could probably manage two kids. Well the time came and Talon was born, I just knew when I looked at him there was a little part of heaven sent down with him from my mom. I could see her in his eyes when he looked at me. From there on out I knew we would do just fine and we have. When he was first born I thought he looked a lot like my mom and she was the first thing I seen when I first looked at him. People would tell he he looked a lot like her to so it wasn't just me.

Now two years later he is soo amazing I could not imagine my life without that little dude. I love him more than words can say! Today is his 2nd birthday and he loved it! These last few weeks he has said so many more words and is starting to put words together. Here a a few pics of this little man that makes life for his momma worth every second.

Our Utah / Easter Vacation

Mike and I thought we would take a much needed vacation down to Utah to spend Easter with some family.

We packed up the car and never looked back. It was so nice there the waether was warm enough to wear shorts. It got to 75 one day we were in heaven. We went to the Jazz game twice and took the kids to the park. Here are a few pictures of what we did.
