Happy Birthday!

There is only one requirement for my birthday and that's an angel food confetti cake with fluffy white frosting, thanks, Mom!  I enjoyed a relaxing day with family and friends- I need nothing more.
Oh, to be 11 again...

Thanks, Scott!  It's such a beautiful Gerbera plant!
Thanks, Van Gorps!

Thanks, Pat & Larry!

Wyatt's Preschool Program

I can't believe we are one year away from Kindergarten- where did the time go?  Yesterday was Wyatt's last day of school and his end of the year program.  They sang songs and Ms. Ingrid said a little something special about each child.

Yep, that would be Wyatt in the front row on the left with his shirt lifted up.  


Time for a Bigger Bike!

Spring Soccer

We're trying soccer for the third time and again, I think the third time is a charm!  Wyatt has been participating and he really seems to enjoy it.  Yay!

Weekend w/Carly

My Aunt Julie and Cousin Stacy with her daughter, Carly, were at my mom and dad's for the weekend so Wyatt and I went to stay one night with them.  Carly and Wyatt are 7 months apart and played really well together.  We covered a lot in a day:  Quality Bakery, Costco, PF Changs, Edinborough and George's Vineyard!

Wyatt's first time on the monkey bars- he was terrified at first but got the hang of it pretty quickly.  I love his face in this photo.

Nothing better than a warm chocolate chip cookie.

Tough being a kid!

Wyatt's new front loader from Costco- thanks, Grandma Diane!

Julie multitasking.

Week 5!

We are so proud of our little guy- he's graduated through all types of floatation devices and is swimming on his own with some assistance.  We love what you have done with Wyatt, Miss Jenni!

Our Neighborhood's First Annual Egg Hunt

Our neighborhood had its inaugural easter egg hunt this past weekend.  Approximately 9 houses participated hiding eggs in their front yard ready for the kiddos to come find them.  It was a bit chilly but didn't stop anyone from having a good time.  We then met back at Mike and Stacy's house for brunch- thanks for hosting!

"I found one, Mom!"

The Armatage Neighbors!

Letting the little ones get their chance before these four go back to the hunt.

Wyatt was so excited opening his eggs down by the fire.

Happy 5th Birthday, Zach!

Wyatt was invited to Zach Nelson's 5th birthday party at Rainbow Play Systems last Saturday.  The kids had a great time tearing up the place and they exerted a ton of energy.   We have told Wyatt that when he turns 5 he gets to have his first birthday party with friends wherever he wants- I think after this he has already decided :)

Happy Birthday, Zach!

Marshall, MN Road Trip

Dan's grandma was hospitalized last week after suffering a heart attack.  After Wyatt's dentist appt we headed out of town for a quick visit to see Great Grandma Kay.  Good news is that she's home now (as I type this) and is doing great.  We were planning to drive back to Minneapolis that evening but it got too late and Dan's Uncle (Rod) and Aunt (Jane) invited us to stay the night.  Thank you for the hospitality!

Rod and Jane moved into a new house last fall so Rodney recreated his Coca Cola room and Wyatt fell in love with the pin ball machine.  He got a hang of it pretty quickly.

The Dentist!

It all started a year ago attempting to bring Wyatt to the dentist.  I tried twice and finally I told Dan that it was his turn and he could deal with it.  Low and behold he was a complete gem and didn't put up a fuss at all.  When Dan sent me the below photo I was afraid to open it for fear that it was a picture of Wyatt crouched down in the corner screaming his head off fearing for his life.  Much to my surprise he was this perfect little angel sitting in the dental chair with his mouth wide open.  Who would have thought!
