Library

Since Reese just turned 5 I figured it was time for her to have her own library card. So yesterday we went to the Eagle Mountain Library and got her card and she got to check out some books and DVDs. She had so much fun and definitely think she will be asking to trade those in for more stuff very soon!

Happy birthday Mr. Wyatt

Wyatt's 3rd birthday was yesterday and he could not be cuter! We could not be more blessed to have such a wonderful little spirit in our home. He is so sweet, loving, and funny. I'm still trying to figure out how three years went by so quickly. We were going to take him sledding for his birthday but I think we will wait till we get more snow this week.

Vince has now made it a tradition to get the kids some balloons and their favorite treat on their birthday.

Wyatt could not be more excited about his present! He has been waiting a long time to get a "big boy bike".

We love you Mr. Wyatt!!

Learning and Growing

For the past year and a half Wyatt has been in the Kids on the Move program for speech delay. Well, at least it started out for that and we soon found out that he had a sensory and social delay as well.

Kids on the Move has been amazing for Wyatt.

He started out only saying "mama" and now he can say whatever he wants (and he really only started talking this past summer). We found out that he is a hypo-sensory kid, where he just can't get enough. So he likes to chew, bang, jump, run, and touch. Our whole family has learned so much from this experience with him. We have been able to help him along the way and see him learn new and exciting things everyday.

What I didn't expect from this experience is how much we would love the people working with our family and how it would help me become a better mother and parent. He is now completed his Kids on the Move experience and we couldn't be happier with where he is at today. We will sure miss our dear friends, April and Gary!

The Party

This was the first year I allowed Reese to have an official party! She was so excited and let me tell you this 5 year old had to everything "just so". It had to pink, Hello Kitty, we had to play "pin the bow on Hello Kitty", and of course musical chairs. She even made me have pink soda and pink cupcakes. She was so adorable with her friends and had a fabulous time.

Here are some photos of the highlights.
