Two Years

Dear Webb,

       Two years ago today at 8:47 p.m., daddy and I welcomed you into the world. You were the most beautiful baby boy we had ever laid eyes on. You have grown from a helpless baby into a big two year old who is so full of life. You have a contagious energy about you, beaming from the inside out in all you do. Your laughter and squeals now fill our home. There are trucks, trains, and tractors littered throughout the rooms. There are goldfish in the couch cushions and in our car floor boards. You talk so well and listen well most of the time. You love Elmo, The Wiggles, trucks, drawing clocks, drinking milk, and climbing on everything in sight. You want daddy to put you to bed but mommy to get you up in the morning. You love playing Crazy Baby with Nancy and rough housing with daddy. You love reading with Mimi and getting fed icecream by Pawpaw. You love Harry Hat and helping her feed the doggies. You often say to mommy "Let me hold ya" which means you want me to carry you. You can count to ten but then continue with fourteen and sixteen. You can say your ABC's with help. You can say the blessing with a big "Amen" at the end. You help around the house by throwing things away and putting your dishes in the sink. You love playing outside with your lawnmower, digging in the dirt, going to the park, and riding in the buggy on daddy's bike. You enjoy being read to if it's about trucks or diggers. You tell us when you need a diaper change and when you're ready for bed or naptime. You are a picky eater. You love the Ingram's, Larche, Mary Berkley, and Lucas. You love Daisy and Madden and going to Donna's house. You hate getting dressed or not getting milk when you really want it.
      You are without a doubt the love of our lives. I can't really explain how much joy you bring to us. We both love you to the moon and back and look forward to watching what you learn between now and your next birthday. If it's anything like what you've learned this past year, we are seriously in for a crazy ride. :)

      So here's to our Sweet Wilson Webster. Our beautiful boy on his 2nd Birthday. We love you.
                                                           
                                                             Mommy and Daddy


Here are pictures from Webb's "Birthday Fire Truck Party." It was a special day for us to celebrate and loved having our closest friends and family here to help us!

 

 

 

Webb's Mimi made this cake! Not only was it precious, it tasted yummmmmy!

 

 

And she made these cupcakes. THANK YOU, Mimi!

 

Waiting for the party to start!

 

 

These two were seriously into "Goodnight Goodnight Construction Site." Ford is a reader folks. :)

 

 

 

Webb and Daisy. The other "love of his life" aside from Carrie Carrie.

 

 

 

 

I'm still wondering how these firemen knew a special boy was having a birthday firetruck party at his house?!? :) This was the best part by far!

 

 

Beautiful RuRu.

Thankfulness

There is so much to be thankful for this year. I couldn't possibly fit it all into one post but here's a short list of things that are so near and dear to me and that I thank God for each night.

My new (old) house.
The laughter that fills our home from a rambunctious two year old.
Celebrating Webb's second birthday.
Chris- the meals he cooks, the bathrooms he cleans, the laundry he folds. The sweet smile on his face and his ability to put up with all of my shenanigans. I am truly blessed.
My sister. My best friend. The smartest and most beautiful person I know.
My mom. Her crazy ways, her love for her grandson, her love for telling me what to do and how to decorate my home. Love you, Muther.
My in-laws. The meals, the babysitting, the patience, the "always there for us" attitude. Love them.
Girlfriends. Who check in, who look after your baby, who really listen. Love them all dearly.
My job. The 18 first graders who fill my heart every day. I am in love with my job.
God. He knows my flaws and knows I'm working on them.


Ever since Webb was born on Thanksgiving two years ago, this time of year always brings back memories of the night of November 25th. A time etched in my mind forever. A night my life was made so much brighter and richer. I am definitely thanking God for this blessing and the many others He has blessed me with!

Webb's Weekend

Our long weekend was low-key and I loved every minute of it! On Saturday, I went to breakfast with a friend and then we headed to Greensboro for a family reunion. Webb of course found the playground the most fun so we spent some time outside enjoying the beautiful weather!

 

 

Saturday night, Harry Hat came over for dessert and some Webb time.

 

 

And, the hit of the weekend was daddy taking Webb for a ride in his "buggie." We didn't think he'd even entertain the idea of wearing a helmet, but he loves it! He was so big riding in the back of the buggie. They rode all over the neighborhood and saw lots of friends.

 

 He sat so still. It amazed me because that never happens!

 

 

 

 

 

 

We've been talking a lot about Webb's birthday party. He says he's having a "birthday firetruck party" and that he's going to be "three months."

 

Next weekend is our town's uptown Christmas Open House. I'm excited about beginning the holiday season especially now that Webb is old enough to be excited about so much. Today when we went to Lanier's and he saw the Christmas trees he said "There's Christmas!" I can't wait to hang our stockings, put our tree up, wrap presents, turn the Christmas music on, and deliver gifts around the neighborhood. I know it's a ways away but it'll be here before we know it!

 

 

 

Bedtime

My favorite time of day is bedtime. Not my bedtime, but Webb's bedtime . . . and not because the house will be quiet and mommy can have a moment, but because there's nothing more precious than snuggling up with a clean, pajama clad Little and talking about the day's events. Every night, Webb talks about his day . . . what he did or saw or what we did at home. We turn his stars on and rock together. It's the perfect ending to the day.


And I only get to experience this IF daddy isn't around to put Webb to bed. Because if he's here, all I hear is "Daddy put ya a bed." Mama is chopped liver sometimes. But seeing your handsome hubby snuggle a clean pajama clad Little totally warms your heart too.

Fire trucks!

Someone's invitations have been ordered!

I'm so excited about planning for my sweet boy's second birthday!

Halloween and All Things In Between!

Well, I'm a little late with a Halloween post but better late than never, right! First, I just want to say that I'll be glad when this election is over. Although a huge Obama supporter, I must say that who ever wins the White House will have my full support. Let's just work together to get this country back on track!

Ok, back to Halloween. We went to a friend's house and had a ton of crazy little ones running around everywhere! It was fun and crazy and just as it should be!

Not the best quality since I forgot my camera, but it sure does capture the sweetness of seven children under the age of 4!

 

The best I could do. Getting a picture of this kid is near impossible. :)

 

Reading is tough work. I love

a sleeping Little.

 

 

We also had a lady come take some family photos this weekend at the park. Here's a sneak peak. I think they turned out beautifully!

 

 

 

Happy HUMP day (almost) and stay warm!
