Birthday party....part 2!

Of course there were presents....he got a lot of sports equipment and "work" tools: tee ball helmet, bat, tee stand and tee balls, football helmet, pliers, and his own size garden tools to name a few!  And then there were roller skates, coloring papers, farm equipment: grain truck, hay trailer and hay bales, fencing, and a big round bale feeder, and there was more that I am probably forgetting!

 

Got the helmet on....couldn't figure out how to get it off....

 

 

A picture of lil' sis in her party dress.  The dress that didn't survive until family pictures...

 

This was our present to Jace....he takes it for a spin either in the morning before we leave or after we get home at night....

 

The 3 big kids....didn't feel like we should tackle a picture of all the kiddos...

 

 



Some things I want to remember about our 4-year-old Jace:

 

*He wants everything to be purple and green

*He can write a "J" but not the rest of his name (yet)

*His favorite food is pancakes, sausage, and some days even scrambled eggs and cheese

*His favorite shows are Team Umizoomi, Peppa Pig, Wallykazam, and Paw Patrol

*At least once a week we eat supper in our living room and let Jace have a "picnic" on a big blanket....aka that's where his mess goes

*Our night time ritual sometimes includes laying in our bed watching TV...it might be basketball, football, hunting, or the news.

*Jace is very concerned with the weather.  Whenever it comes on the news he perks up and then tells us everything that they say--even if we were right there next to him.

*He likes to tell us when something is "Delicious!"  Even if it is frozen pizza. :)

*He has let me cut his hair twice, and I have determined that I have not been paying the usual girl that cuts his hair nearly enough money as much as he moves around. 

*He can say the prayer we say before we eat, the "bedtime prayer" (Now I lay me, down to sleep...), and also the Lord's prayer. 

*He loves to vacuum, and gets a lot of practice since we have to vacuum lady bugs out of Connor's window a couple times a week.



This kid holds a special place in our hearts...our family wouldn't be the same without him!

Happy Birthday Jace Wyatt!

Birthday Party....

Sneak peak....a little family photo!  Connor thought it was hilarious when we sang Happy Birthday.  And Jed thought it was a "J" on the cake, not a "4".  Jace had to correct him.....

Coloring on the giant coloring sheets he got from the Luedke's...I didn't think he liked to color, but he has been using this almost every night!

March Happenin's....

Connor is eating cereal now.  Looks like she is enjoying it...

We wore our K-State gear to cheer on the Cats...it didn't help.

It's that time of year again--poor Connor is having a bottle in a truck at the field.  Trying to hold it by herself!

Trying out a new headband...

This hasn't gotten old for Jace yet...and she wants to just watch him while she eats no matter who is feeding her so might as well let him feed her!

Looks like there is only one person enjoying this selfie...

This was on the way to Troy the morning after his birthday party.  Not a good sign when he falls asleep in a 10 minute ride...but he was perky the rest of the day!

Tried this the other night...good thing we have a big bathtub!

And then there was this a couple weeks ago:  Barb called me and Jace was throwing up.  He hung out on the couch all afternoon, and even got to sleep there at night.  And all weekend.  And now he thinks that is the coolest thing to do: sleep on the couch.

These two never cease to amaze me.  They both needed sunglasses and Jace had the Spiderman ones...I tried to give Kyler the other ones but she made Jace trade with her.  She always gets her way...

I can...

Sit up  Prop myself up!

I can sit up...even if I just fall over.

I can...put my binky in my mouth!  (This makes my Dad VERY happy)

We can take a picture outside....but it's a bad picture because the sun was shining in our eyes so we had to turn around....

This guy can do work.  And he is SO excited to be outside.  The first day it was nice and he got to go outside he was absolutely nuts.

Even Connor got to enjoy the weather!

Wait, that's not Connor!  That's Cassidy....with a bow.  :)

And that's Connor giving Cassidy the stare down...

Jace thinks this is fun...vacuuming up the never ending lady bugs in Connor's room...

Jace picked out Connor's outfit, I added the accessories.  And the box?  Well, it was just there.

More outside work...

A little walk down the road!

Jace's favorite stroller....and Connor is now big enough for it.  Oh the places we will go....

A Birthday party....and more...

Connor turned 5 months at the end of February...

Who me?

Yes, you!

We went to Kyler's 4th birthday party this weekend.

 

I love her expression in this next photo--she is looking over the makeup kit Grandma Boos got her.

 

She got a tee-ball helmet....

 

And a beautiful cake...

 

Put your hands in the air if you are excited that Melissa is giving you a bottle!

And of course, Kyler was Kyler.
