Toy Story on Ice!

Mimi and Poppy planned a little outing for the kiddos to Toy Story on Ice! Wyatt talked about his night with Buzz Light Year for about a month leading up to the event. He was so excited to see his favorite characters in person. Since the show started at 7pm, Isaac's bedtime, Poppy insisted to stay back with Ike so Mommy and Daddy could share in the experience with Wy guy. It was such a fun night!

Mimi let the kids pick out a souvenier from the show...

Wyatt picked a sword...

and enjoyed some cotton candy! He ate it by the mouthful as fast as he possibly could.

I had to get a picture of Daddy's face as he was watching... KEN and BARBIE! :) Priceless!

Our little man was tuckered out on the way home but kept his sword in hand!

First RIDE...

Wyatt got a super cool birthday gift from his Papa and Grandma McCulley this year... His first BIG BOY BIKE!

Grandma and Papa took Wy guy to Wal-Mart after his birthday party on Saturday afternoon to pick out a bike. He picked out a Spider Man bike! It took a couple of days to be assembled so we went back to pick it up today. It ended up being a really chilly day outside but Wyatt kept the whole fam out for over an hour watching him ride!

He's getting pretty brave already and trying some tricks on the bike! Good thing he was wearing his Spider Man helmet because he took a few falls with his crazy antics! Isaac had to have a turn honking the horn! Do you know who Wyatt was showing off for? His new neighbor friend, Addi! Addi even gave Wyatt a turn driving her jeep.

A Week of Celebration!

I think each birthday is such a special opportunity to celebrate the life we've been given, so we made it a full week of fun in honor of WYATT...

Wy guy started off his birthday celebration with a cupcake party as school last Wednesday. We had fun baking and sprinkling his treats to take in to share with his friends. Then on Saturday, buddy Asher came in to town and we spent the day together and made a trip to Kaliedoscope! On Sunday, we visited the T-Rex Dino Restaurant for dinner! This is one of Wy's favorite places on earth. We stop in anytime we're at the Legends just to look around but this time he got the full experience of dining in!

Wyatt requested I take pictures of almost every dino in the restaurant. I figured 2 would be enough for you to get the idea...

Wy guy was a little perplexed by all of the unknown strangers singing Happy Birthday to him at the table.... But he sure loved the sweet treats they brought along with the birthday chorus! On Monday (3/14), Wy's actually birthday, we surprised him with one gift... an easel! It was almost impossible to get this little Van Gogh out the door once he began his masterpiece... I was finally able to convince Wyatt to take a ride to visit Mimi and Poppy at the Leaping Lizard where he enjoyed 3 hours of jumping fun! He then picked Panera for lunch. He loves their mac-n-cheese!

He received a couple of fun packages in the mail, including a coloring card from Grandma and Papa...

along with a Mickey Mouse T-shirt straight from Disney World (Thanks Ashtyn and Daxton)!

We finished the day by making and eating some ice cream cone cupcakes together!

Saturday was the BIG CARNIVAL CELEBRATION!!!! Here's our lil man putting on his circus attire waiting for all of his guests to arrive...

Is this not the cutest clown you've ever seen?

Time for candles and birthday cake!

Looking a little introspective...

Wyatt must have eaten too many hot dogs, nachos and popcorn because he didn't even touch his cake (til later, of course!)

But Isaac sure enjoyed his share!

And forced some into cousin Alexa's mouth as well! Hope she was hungry!

Wyatt had lots of helpers opening gifts with him and trying out all of the new toys!

It was a great day and I hope it etched a fun memory into Wyatt's mind! We love you little man and are so thankful for your life!!!!!!

Happy St. Patty's Day!

We got to have our annual GREEN meal with Papa and Grandma McCulley who were in town for Wyatt's birthday party this year! We ate pesto chicken with spinach tortellini, then had green milk shakes and green sprinkled cake balls for dessert! Wyatt and I read the story of who Patrick really was and broke out the paints and glitter for a fun art project. I love festivities and reasons to celebrate! : ) Here are my little Irish men...
