Wyatt's 3rd Birthday

Our little Godson, Wyatt, turned three this April. We were so excited to attend his third birthday party, red themed - his favorite color!

He received lots of fun presents and clothing. His favorite was a Marvel bowling set! He was very excited to try it out and even got a strike within a couple minutes of playing.

Carly and her family put together a lovely spread for us to enjoy of an Easter ham, fruit and potato salads and yummy cupcakes and cookies.

He was pretty pooped when we were leaving, which means it must have been an excited party :) And probably the 30 or so laps he run around the dining room table ;)

Last Saturday I got to watch my favorite God son Wyatt for a bit. We had a blast. He is at such a fun age right now where he loves to draw, play with blocks, dance, bounce and read. And we did all of the above many times over on Saturday.

I learned that:
- he loves Disney, especially Toy Story, Monsters Inc and Cars
- his favorite color is orange followed by purple
- he can draw lines and dots very well
- he loves to repeat what you say (good thing I watched my mouth!)
- towers are only good if you can knock them down (obviously)
- he is an excellent snuggler

Oh to be a kid again!

Danny is off to the Navy

Our nephew Danny has joined the US Navy. We are so proud of him - he will do well and is very determined. We said our goodbyes and good lucks in February before he left for training. Hard to believe that two months have passed and he has graduated from training!

Both Christopher and I were off last week Friday and were able to watch the ceremony live through the internet. Danny has joined the choir and we were able to see him very well when the choir sang at the graduation. It was very special.

Chet, Pam and the girls all went to Chicago for it and it sounds like they had a great time. Danny is now off to San Antonio!  Good luck in your next adventure Dan!
