The BIG 3-0 for Joe!!!!

This has been a BIG year for Joe... He became a daddy in March and finished a decade of being in his twenties in July. Joe turned 30 on July 19th and we've been partying : ) it up ever since... We celebrated twice while we were with our families in KS, Wyatt and I planned a get-together for him with friends this past weekend, and we have a little weekend getaway to Chicago planned for next weekend!!!! I think it's been a very fun and memorable birthday for Joe... And I've reminded him that he's got 2 years to start working on my 30th birthday bash!!! : ) Wyatt loves to party... He thought the balloons were the best part of it all... And he sure had an eye on the cake!!!

He's discovered his tongue... Now it's always sticking out!!!

We often ask Wyatt, "Where's your tongue?" and he proudly shows us that he knows exactly where it is! Maybe it's not the best habit to have gotten started, but it sure is cute for now!!!

Another trip to KS!

We made another long road trip to KS! Wyatt was a very impressive little traveler... He slept the whole way there and most of the way home. Joe had some training in KC so we were able to stay at the Westin, Crown Center and have a mini-vacation together. My sister and her kids came to swim with us most days...Wyatt sure loves his cousins! We spent most of our time at the pool and did a little shopping : ) during the day before we met up with the guys and my parents each evening for dinner!!! We ended the week with an early Christmas gift from my parents... they treated us all to a little get-a-way to Coco Key--a brand new indoor water park in KC. It was a very fun way to all spend time together and make memories as a family!
