What cup?

June is here! And the heat is driving me CRAZY. And to top it all off, Cougartown is done for the season.

Wyatt and I have been left to fend for ourselves, and will have to do so for the next 4 weeks! The hail storm in the Waco area called Jon's name and he will be there until July.

Wy and I went to watch Abby's soccer tournament in Spring last weekend and her team won the whole stinkin' thing. Wyatt's story begins here. We were on our way to grab a bite to eat, and having already been in the car for a long time that day, Wy was trying to find things to keep him...occupied. He has officially learned how to roll his window down. Having JUST exited 249 Wyatt decided that he no longer was in need of his sippy cup. I knew instantly what his little mind was thinking. Yup. I was right. He chunked his cup right out the window. Of course, it was the only cup that I brought for us that day, so I had to turn around to get it. This is another thing he will be paying for as a teenager.

Cara and I are going to a bachelorette party for our friend this weekend. But not before we stay the night in China Spring, so that Jon can show Cara around "the best place on Earth". I have never heard Jon plan so much EVER. I guess it's always exciting when they rope in another fan of the town!

Pray.

Sweet Tooth!

I don't know if it's just the fact that I have been trying to eat better and work out everyday or what; but what I once knew as a sweet tooth has now become a sweet...mandible? Ridiculous, I realize.

First of all, I've become obsessed with York Bites. Think of them as peppermint patties trapped in wonderful M&M-esque candies. Uh, yum. What is lovely about them is you can literally just grab a handful and be satisfied. I mean, you may want some like 30 minutes later, but it's better than the capability of eating an entire bag of virtually anything else in one sitting.

I'll "amen" that myself.

Mollie and I made margarita cupcakes the other day, and I have found the first dessert that I love. Oh, I meant that doesn't contain chocolate. We changed up the recipe quite a bit (added more tequila, etc.) and it is some zesty goodness. They are the perfect summer treat. Let's just put it this way: any event that I'm invited to requiring food, will receive these suckers.

Amy Beth sent me yet another link to some new hip trend that's caught on. It's called Hello Frosting and they specialize in edible decals. I believe they are at www.hellofrosting.com

It's really just fun to look at the photo gallery. I think these are grand because let's face it - it's summer - and we all have a list of wedding/bridal/baby/engagement showers to attend. Hello gift!

Wyatt gave himself a black eye the other day while at TaDa's house.

Poor kid. Mollie just says that he doesn't have his "sea legs" when he wakes up.

He was just frolicking around the living room when OUT OF NOWHERE...nothing came out and he tripped. Luckily, his face caught his fall. Unluckily, it was on the corner of the couch. I will try to get a pic of it, so later on in his life I can show him how tough he was as a kid.

I figured I'd let it ripen a little more, so it can look gnarlier and I could amp up the pity party from you guys.

Clearly, I'm a first-time mom.

Just Take 6 North. Then 6 South.

This is the first Monday in a long time, that I haven't had to think about ANYTHING. God bless summers.

To recap what we have been up to, we are going to have to go all the way back to Wednesday. So I hope you're prepared.

We drove to Waco on Wednesday afternoon, once I was done with my classes (praise the Lord!). That night, we went to an acoustic concert that showcased Cody Canada, Chris Knight, and Charlie Robison. It was good, but I'm pretty sure Chris Knight was falling asleep between songs. Whatever works.

Thursday, we went to Uncle Z's state semi-final playoff game. By the 5th inning, it became an intense baseball game. They were down 8-1 in the fourth. Came back 8-7 in the fifth, and ended up winning the game 10-13. We came back to the house to swim, which ended in Wyatt pooping IN and AROUND the pool. Uncle Eenie was totally grossed out.

On Friday morning we headed to Belton to catch the state baseball game at UMHB. Z's school, Reicher, beat Brook Hill 12-2 to win the state championship. Again, we were excited! Then, we get a call. A friend in Waco told us to check the local news channel. You can do the same by looking, here!

Did you see that baby? Oh you did?

That was Wyatt. Eating popcorn. On the news.

This kid is destined for stardom.

After the game, we quickly drove to Kingwood to attend Abby Noel's Pop Show that night. We even got into a little fender bender in the process, when some re-re ran into the back of us. From that point on it was basically just a relaxing weekend in the Wood of King, but a welcomed one of course.

By now, y'all should realize that we basically only travel back and forth from Waco to Kingwood.

I actually summed that up much shorter than I had anticipated, so consider yourselves lucky.

It's Tuesday. Do You Know Where Your Child Is?

Took Wy to the doctor this morning, because his fever came back again last night.

And of course, he awoke this morning with no fever. Why is it that once you take action, what you wanted in the first place finally happens?

Anywho, the doc said that his ears were very red, as was his throat. He was put on some antibiotics and should be wreaking havoc again in the next 48 hours.

For the first time, he didn't have to use the dadgum baby scale. They put him on the monstrous scale that the rest of us stand on, making him look like the tiniest person in the world. He weighed in at a whopping 25.7 ell-bees.

Funny; when I pick him up, I could swear he's at least 50 lbs.

We are at a point that we are virtually unable to take Wyatt anywhere because he just screams his head off when he doesn't get his way.

Yes.

I am that mother that ditches her husband and "random screaming child in the middle of Sam's" due to sheer embarrassment.

So, if you ask us to go to dinner - we probably ain't comin'. Unless YOU want to tell Wyatt to quit throwing his spaghetti from his high chair?

Amy Beth sent me an email the other day for some cool kid stuff they have for the summer, and one of the links led to the cutest helmets I've ever seen.

You can find more at nutcasehelmets.com

I wish I had a rockin' helmet like that growing up.

Okay! I know y'all were waiting for one. My funny Wyatt story.

It's quick, I swear.

I was sitting on the couch, procrastinating leaving for my final and all the sudden I hear Wy's girly scream. I jump up to find him sandwiched between the wall and the fridge. And I don't mean just like an arm/leg - I'm talking entire body, head and all. Completely.

Honestly, I have NO idea why he is so enamored with that white box.

I would have taken a picture to prove this to him later, but he was VERY upset and freaked out.

My last final is tomorrow - praise Jesus! So if I normally call you on a regular basis, but you don't hear from me for awhile - I'm sleeping. Don't bug me. I will eventually call you.

Happy Tuesday! Don't forget to watch Cougartown tomorrow.

Thank God For Mothers. And Tylenol.

Happy belated Mother's Day to all you wonderful women out there! I hope the day was perfect, and that things got done before you even had to ask. That was how Mollie taught us Mother's Day should be. Jon worked in Waco this weekend, so it was just me and Wy again. Wyatt had a fever since Friday, so it made for lots of meds and naps. We did have a great time just laying around, and watching Shrek. Jon got home around 5, and kicked me out of the living room "to get my surprise ready". When I was allowed back in, this is what I saw:

From my favorite flower, to my favorite candies! And yes, those are white chocolate covered strawberries. I am so blessed to have such a loving husband who is thoughtful at just the right times!!

If you are confused by the Red Bull, I was too. He informed me those were to study with. That will definitely come in handy.

Mom came to College Station on Friday to celebrate motherhood with us. We had the best time. Even though Wyatt was a little under the weather, we got to just relax and chat. We ordered in Fuzzy's for dinner (of course), since we weren't sure if Wy should be out amongst people. We also watched The Blind Side, which I LOVED. No wonder Sandra won an award because she kicked major tush in that movie.

Last Sunday we went to the Country Fair at one of the churches we have visited. We ate hot dogs, sno cones, corn dogs, and popcorn, danced to some music, and went to a petting zoo in which Wyatt was a little rough with some of the smaller animals

This picture must have been after I said his name 30 times.

But the BEST part was the bounce house. It was hilarious to see Wy in there.

I thought, maybe he is too young, but I was SO WRONG. He belly flopped, face planted, and danced around for 20 minutes. There was no getting him out of there.

Don't be fooled by the first pics - the apprehension is totally fake.

Is There a Sign For Go To Bed?

It is now officially May! I can't believe 2010 is going so quickly! I can still vividly remember what I was doing this time last year. Although, that's because the only thing I was doing was changing size 1 diapers. Those were the days.

Speaking of the little imp - Wyatt gets smarter each day. I am so proud! He now knows sign language for: more, all done, bread, and outside. But the cutest thing is, when he wants to go outside, he brings you his shoes and goes to the door to smack the door knob. Also, when he wants to go for a walk, he just climbs into his stroller and screams at you until you get up. That one is not quite as cute.

Wyatt has also become a fan of the show Handy Manny. Every morning he is in a terrible mood before we take him to school, so we give him some breakfast and turn on Manny, and he shuts right up. I say that lovingly, of course. I have tried to get him interested in Sesame Street (since it's a classic) but he just won't have it. But if you really want to see Wy in his best mood, turn on a music channel. That boy shakes his butt like he just don't care. I have tried to video tape it, but he is self-conscious about being on camera. I'll hide one or something.

Friday night, the Geigers, Cara, Diana, and Hunter went to Fuzzy's. They have the BEST tacos. Fish tacos to be exact.

But their other stuff is wonderful too.

FUZZY'S Taco Shop

See if there's one near you because it's totally worth it. Amen.

Then on Saturday, Cara and Uncle Ethan came over to play dominos. Wy went to bed at 9, but someone (ahem, JON) woke him up. When Wyatt realized how much fun we were having without him, he was ticked. Jon stooped low enough to use Wyatt to cheat. The aiding and abetting has already begun. He hung with the big dogs until about 1 when he passed out on the couch. I told Jon that he probably thinks we do that once he falls asleep every night, so he may not want to go to bed EVER.

Now that I've talked about it, I'm craving Fuzzy's. GO EAT IT.

Quack. Quack. Quack.

After picking Wyatt up from school yesterday, we went to the park to feed the ducks and enjoy this not-so-hot Springtime weather!

I have realized that I in fact have a small fear of ducks. They are unpredictable! One would follow us and seemed to be on crack. I don't really know what I was expecting since they are College Station ducks, and their main source of food is most likely beer. The last pic is of our favorite one, whom we dubbed Afroman.

Wyatt loves them, and it is so fun to see him interact with animals at this age. He is too fearless, and we had to continually make sure

that he didn't just dive right into the pond. Or, get attacked by a duck.

My favorite part was when Wy got tired of feeding them bread, and just ate it himself. As much as we tried, when we would give him more pieces to throw he just reared back...and dropped it in his mouth.

I have a short video of it, but try as I may, I cannot get blogspot to work with me here! I am going to keep trying so be looking for it, because you HAVE to see how close these stinkin' things get to you! I am getting freaked out right now just thinking about it.
