The love of my oldest son :)

Dakota likes to take shower's in mommy and daddy's bathroom. Today after he was done and as I was getting the other 2 ready for bed I walked into the bathroom and this is what I found written on the mirror.



David has been gone on an elk hunting trip out west since last Tuesday night so this sweet little message just made my night. Dakota told me he ran out of room to write "you" and he asked me "mommy is that how you spell love?" He is so sweet and thoughtful. I'm blessed to have such a loving son! :)

Yesterday he was sick and stayed home from school (I'm thankful it was just a 24 hour bug as I hate to see my children in pain and that's what he was in yesterday) but last night he lost another tooth. :) He wiggled that tooth until it finally came out (we had tried the tie a string around it and slam the door the night before but we couldn't get that trick to work). The tooth fairy visited last night and left him $1.00. :) His top middle tooth is loose right now too so by Christmas he may be able to sing "All I want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth!" :) I love his changing toothless grin! :)

My sweet little guy

Wyatt and I were having fun just the other day taking self pictures of him and I together (he loves when I hold the camera back and take a shot of the two of us and I love it too because he puts his little arm around me giving me a big squeeze). I got this shot of him (I only got half of my face so I cropped that out) and I just love how his eyes are just so bright plus that cute little smile. Just a simple picture of my littlest guy... my 3 year old. :)

The Pumpkin Patch :)

One of my favorite family traditions is going to the pumpkin patch. This year was a blast! The weather was just the right amount of chilly and the pumpkins were plentiful for the choosing! :) The kids were into me taking there pictures which made me so happy (even Dakota who is not usually a fan of many photos... he get's that from his daddy). We had a lot of fun walking all the way down the pumpkin patch and finding our perfect pumpkins. I love making fall memories with my family and seeing the smiles on my kids faces at the pumpkin patch was priceless! :)

HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY WYATT!! :)

Today is my silly little man Wyatt's 3rd birthday! :) We started out the day by making some yummy cinnamon oatmeal muffins. He helped me by cracking the egg and stirring the yummy mixture together. He enjoyed his big muffin and even got to blow out 3 candles before he devoured the muffin (as you can see he devoured it in his normal silly ways).

David has to work at the firehouse today but I have some fun plans for Wyatt. He wants to play at the park, go get a balloon, and we are going to dinner at Bob Evans (which he keeps calling just Evans). I'm looking forward to a fun day with my little guy. He's going to have a Diego party this weekend. He'll get to enjoy a fun birthday week!! :) Oh and we started the morning off talking in his bed while I held him and rubbed his back (can I tell you how much I still LOVE that he'll cuddle with me, lay on my chest, and let me rub his back). Dakota and Emma came into his room and we admired the dark clouds in the sky (it was still dark out). We enjoyed just chatting together before he was ready to get started on his birthday day.

One of the most special parts of his birthday is he also shares the day with my beloved Grandma Fite... he calls her GG. A major plus to having an induction is we were able to plan it out so he was born on her special day! Happy birthday Grandma!! Love you bunches! :)

3 things that I love about this little guy..
1. His silly personality and his ability to keep us all laughing (he makes some of the funniest faces)
2. He's so affectionate and loving (I love when he rubs my back, gives me a shoulder massage, but my favorite is when he holds my face in-between his little hands and gives me a kiss)
3. His creativity and love of learning... he loves to cook with me, color, play with Play-Doh (his favorite), make creations out of dirt, read books, and do his lessons. He's a joy and I love to see the things he creates and how proud he is to show those things to David and I. He loves to learn and I enjoy watching him learn new things everyday.

I have to mention his other favorite thing is Diego!! More of Diego in the next post..... :) Happy 3rd birthday Wyatt!! :) I love you so much and you bring such joy into my life!!
