Jolly Big Brothers delayed video - Christmas 2011

It took us a little while to figure out how best to get some of the videos from the new camera that we bought in December so this is a gem that is a little delayed.  Wyatt and Caden enjoy entertaining each other, and others, and this is a good example of that.  They are going to be great big brothers, with maybe a little teasing for their younger siblings.  (Click on the YouTube link at the bottom of the video to be able to watch it in full screen.)

Mimi Comes To Visit and More...

Mimi decided to come visit us for a week in February.  Kevin and Wyatt took her on a hike up Cowels Mountain.  They made it about 3/4 of the way up and had a great time.

I love Wyatt's hat, he insisted having a flower on it like Mimi had on hers!

Dinner at Nicolosi's in the neighborhood.

Visiting Coronado and getting a little to confident in the water.  Shortly after this video Wyatt fell in all the way, poor guy was freezing.  Mimi had to run out and get him and got wet up to her waist!  Maybe next time we'll bring the life jacket.

Kevin and I went out on a little date night to a concert with Pam Tillis and Lori Morgan.  It was so much fun, lots of old country.  I think we were the only ones under 50.

Wyatt hiking Mission Trails in our neighborhood with Daddy.  I think he's looking for frogs here.

Play date with his best buddy Benjamin, they were running through the sprinklers, it was like 80 degrees, come back warm weather, please, it was such a tease.

Here I am in Luke's room, I just finished decorating about a week ago.  38 weeks pregnant, can't wait for the little guy to arrive!

Baby News

We received some good news about baby Luke today, after hearing on Monday that I was only measuring 30cm when I should have been measuring 35cm.  I hadn't grown at all in a month!  The doctor was concerned when I measured small at my 35 week check-up and sent us to get amniotic fluid and body measurements for the baby.  From Monday until today I have been a ball of emotions worrying about if he was healthy and thriving.  The good news is, everything checks out, he is just so far down in my pelvic bones that my belly hasn't expanded outwards, just down.  So good news, he's measuring on target 36 weeks for body size, bad news, over 37 weeks for head, ouch!  But we are so happy he seems to be growing just fine.  Hopefully for my sake though he doesn't have an enormous melon and comes to see us by the end of this month!

Cooper And Kim Visit

Cooper and Kim came to visit us for a few days, we had so much fun.  Can you tell I love the bathtub shots with the cousins?

 One day we took the ferry over to Coronado, the boys enjoyed the boat ride and the beach once we got there.

Wyatt Gets A New Bed And Sandpit

We decided to transition Wyatt to a twin bed, one because of the little guy coming who will need the crib, and two, he is so darn tall he has practically outgrown the crib.  He loves it, everything about it.  At first I thought it would be difficult for Kevin and I because we thought he wouldn't sleep as well and would just get up and down in the middle of the night.  Knock on wood but he has been out of the crib for awhile and it hasn't happened yet.  The first night about five in the morning I did hear a loud thud and a deep moan, but then it stopped and he went back to bed.  I think he fell out of bed but got back in because when I went in that morning he was in bed just not under his covers.  Once in awhile I'll find him with his head toward the foot of the bed, but other than that, he seems good.  I guess we don't need that bumper after all!  Poor Bella, she can't wait to be able to sleep with him, we'll work up to that one.

Kevin built an awesome sandpit for Wyatt in the yard, he loves it, and so do all his friends.  It's a great way to burn an hour while I take a breather on the new chaise lounge or do some yard work.

The LV Kelvingtons Come To Town

Andy and Jamie made the trek to San Diego with the kids, I'm glad they did, we had a lot of fun.

Wyatt ALWAYS wants to hold Reese, he loves babies.

Here he is giving some love to his cousin Sammy at Lake Murray.

I'm not sure if they saw something funny or something incredibly scary on the TV, looks like they're on a roller coaster ride together...and conveniently Wyatt has lost his pants.

Oh bath time with all the kids.  Wyatt is so happy that Reese decided to join them, he is even offering her a bath toy.

Funny face little Reese.

Fun Times At Our New House

Wyatt loves the new house, he's got his little TV tray set up and loves his after dinner treats, especially Jello.

Wyatt and I took a trip to Cabrillo National Monument, he really enjoyed the tide pools.  We sat and watched the waves for a long time.

Kevin decided to make the hike up Cowels Mountain a couple of weeks ago, which has been taunting him since we moved in.  He had a great time and saw some wildlife.

View of our neighborhood from the mountain.

He made it, top of the mountain!  I can't wait to join him, once I lose about 50 lbs and can breathe again.

Wyatt's first day of school!  Look how proud he is of his little lunch box.  He goes Tuesday and Thursday mornings and it has been great for the both of us.  I won't lie, the first day I did shed a tear, I can't believe how he's growing up so fast.

I have been loving homemade bread and Wyatt has been loving helping me in the kitchen.  It's great now that we have a big enough counter for him to sit on.  He is quite the little kneeder.
