Wyatt & April's day-of-fun!

Note: This is a waaaay overdue post. And you have to say the title like Janice from Friends :)

On Monday March 8th I was "sick" from school. The best way to get better from being "sick" from school is to spend a day with adorable little Wyatt! I really wasn't sick at all (I wouldn't be around Wy if I was sick for fear I'd get him sick) but Emily needed some extra help that week because Jacob was in College Station all week for training and a class for work. It actually worked out perfectly because she and I had run a 1/2 marathon the day before and so it was nice to have a relaxing Monday (sorry Emily)! It was so relaxing, in fact, that by the time Emily got home from school I still hadn't gotten a chance to change Wyatt out of his pjs! Oops! We just hung around the Hoffart's house and here are a few pics of what we did:

Here's the happy wake-up boy from his morning nap! He did a good job of taking naps on this particular day. I napped while he took his morning nap and then during his afternoon nap I showered and got dressed for the day...so what it if was in the afternoon!


Checking on things out his bedroom windows. He knocked and knocked...there wasn't anyone outside, but he still did some knocking and posed for a picture!



Time to work on Max's hair. Max isn't really supposed to be on the furniture, but he was at the perfect height for Wy to work on him. I love the concentration on Wy's face as he's working on his hair. Max and Wy sure do love each other.



A boy and his dog!


Up next - breakfast. Wyatt ate some apple sauce and cereal and then I scrambled an egg for him. He loved it. As you can see it started off nice and neat...


...and then soon turned into quite a mess! Luckily Max was on standby for clean-up duty.


Did I mention he liked his egg? I turned around and saw him doing this and about cracked up laughing! Seriously, Wyatt?!


Too cute. And egg was everywhere.


We then played in the living room and watched one of Wyatt's "movies." He sure loves his "movies." For some reason when I took this the screen was full of flowers and Wyatt is intently watching...not very masculine...oops.


We were still playing in the living room when all of a sudden Emily pulled into the driveway! I couldn't believe she was home so early and thought about running Wyatt into his room to change him into some clothes but thought what the heck. He was happy as could be and Emily didn't seem to mind!


I absolutely love spending time with Wyatt. He's so funny and is getting funnier and smarter every day. Some of my favorites are his waving (he waves and waves and waves at people) and his sign language - more and please. His sign for please is absolutely the most adorable thing ever. I'll try to work on taking a video of it and either posting it here or on Emily's blog.

Little league baseball and cousin love

On Sunday April 11th we (Emily, Wyatt, April, James) drove down to Pearland to watch Hayden's machine pitch baseball game. I must say I was quite impressed. I was impressed with how well Hayden (and other players, of course) played and moved on the field, how well they hit, ran on the bases, slid, threw, caught, etc. Huge difference between t-ball and MP. And I couldn't believe how much bigger Hayden looks on the field! He's taller and has filled out more - what happened to my little boy Hayden?!?! As always he was super sweaty afterwards and smelled something terrible after eating his post-game snack and trying to rub his dirty fingers all over me!

Here are a couple pics of the H-man:






If you're noticing that the images appear to be a little "smokey," it may have something to do with the fact that this crazy girl:



had my camera and was taking all sorts of pictures. Unfortunately they didn't exactly come out. Most of them were of her hand. She also tried to take some of Hayden but those were a little too blurry. She also took some of the fence and dugout. She was working really hard, but during her photo shoot she managed to rub her Frito fingers all over my camera. My old camera (I needed a new one before, but now I really need a new one!) wasn't quite prepared to be worked over by Riley. That girl is hilarious. She makes me laugh so much. She was decked out in Red Sox gear - including her 3 necklaces, baseball hair bow and had some super shoes and socks. She was sooooo excited that "her brother" Wyatt came to the game. Holy cow that girl LOVES Wyatt. Here is Ri loving on Wy - lots of hugs and kisses for her COUSIN!!!

For shame

I'm that blog that has dropped to the bottom of peoples' lists because it hasn't been updated in for-e-ver. Time to get back in the swing of things. If you follow Emily's blog then you've already seen this picture. This is my family from Wyatt's birthday party. Sammy is finally not out-numbered by women! I love this picture (obviously because of the people in it, duh) because it reminds me of how much fun we had on the day we celebrated Wyatt turning a year old. It was a great day - lots of great food, fun, friends and family. Good times had by all. As my mom says - God is good. God is good every day.
