Making Homemade Snow Cream

2010-01-30T20:00:00.001-08:00

After nap today Wyatt and I decided to make some homemade snow cream. I think we should live this snow event up, who knows how long it'll be till the next "big" snow event.

Ingredients for snowcream minus the celery of course.

Ready mom.

Ummm....It's so good.

Trying to share with Izzy because she really likes it, says Wyatt. (this was our last bite the spoon went into the sink afterwards I promise).

Snow Play Fun

2010-01-30T12:35:00.001-08:00

Well this the first good snow that we've had that we've really been able to go play in. It's been so much fun. Wyatt loved sledding down the hill in the back of the neighborhood. We made a snowman, attempted a snow angel and ate plenty of "white balls".
Here' a couple of pics of our snowy house.

Wyatt eating a banana peanut butter smoothie. He definitely liked it alot.

All our wet clothes that came off after sledding and playing.

He really liked the taste of the snow that made up the snowman's head. Silly man.

Is this how you make a snow angel? Mom said yes but I'm not so sure.

Sledding with friends.

Update

2010-01-15T18:55:00.000-08:00

Okay so it's been forever since I've updated this but I'm going to try and be better about it again. So here it goes, here are a couple of pictures to get started again. I started with Wyatt's 2nd Birthday then his cool new birthday bike. Next is just some silly pictures of us and finally there's some pictures from our trip to Destin, FL, right after Christmas 2009. Hope you enjoy.

Wyatt 1st Time To Ride His Bike

2009-09-25T08:49:00.000-07:00

Check it out Wyatt was able to ride his bike for the first time. Yes it was only 4-5 feet, but how cool is that. Yes, I'm sure daddy is grinning from ear to ear. Enjoy

We're Back

2009-08-28T19:29:00.000-07:00

Okay so as in the past we have again taken a long break, but we're now back for a brief update.

1. Popsicle break on the porch and a little peek-a-boo.

2. Choo-choo trains and figuring out how to put them together again.

3. Fun with shaving cream.

4. Lip gloss surprise. No it's not a cat scratch mom.

5. What is that poop in the bath tub? Yuck hurry get out. But, first I have to take a picture and video to make sure we remember this. Okay now get out fast and DON'T TOUCH IT!!!!

We've Found Bugs

2009-06-25T19:56:00.001-07:00

Catapillar, Cocoon, Butterfly

2009-06-25T19:43:00.000-07:00

I found a cocoon in the handle of the sandbox and decided to put it in our bug box and see what happened. Surprise, when we got home on Tuesday we decided to check our box and look at what we found.

Peony

2009-06-25T19:37:00.000-07:00

Just Some Pics.

2009-06-25T19:32:00.000-07:00

Library Day At World's Fair

2009-06-25T19:18:00.000-07:00

Wyatt really did enjoy this day. He slept all the way to the car in his stroller and then until nearly 4:00 that afternoon. But, then he was up and at 'em and ready for more.

Sandbox!

2009-05-24T18:05:00.000-07:00

My brother came in town this weekend and he helped "Little Man" and I build the most awesome-est sand box ever. Check out some pictures. And BIG thanks to Matthew and Mom and Dad and yes cousin Jennifer, as well, for all the help.

Sprinkler!

2009-05-24T17:44:00.000-07:00

Wyatt had his first meeting with the yard sprinkler today. He wasn't so sure at first, but he came around quickly. I think he might be one of those kids that are a fish in the water.

Mud, Mud, Mud

2009-05-03T19:07:00.000-07:00

I accidentally turned my head a little to long the other day and when I regained sight of Wyatt I saw him sitting smack dab in the middle of a nasty, dirty, icky mud puddle. And so this is what happened next. Enjoy laughing.

Wyatt's First Bike

2009-04-27T18:47:00.000-07:00

I know that it has been quite a long while since my last post, but if anyone out there still checks up on us here are some new pictures to check out. We got our first bike though it is slightly to big we really love it.
The last video is our first attempt at our "tricks!"

Ride'M Cowboy

2009-02-03T17:54:00.000-08:00

We decided we wanted to ride our rocking horse by ourselves today. We did really good and even tried to rock ourself pretty good.

New Toy Box

2009-02-03T17:48:00.000-08:00

This past Monday we received another Birthday present and we soooo needed it. It was a toy box. We quickly put it together and put to good use, filling it full of all of our toys.

Playing Outside

2009-02-03T17:41:00.000-08:00

When we got home from Fontana on Sunday, the weather was so nice we decided to stay outside to play and forgo our morning nap. Wyatt is at that age that he is beginning to mimic everything and he tries to do everything his daddy does even if it's impossible.

Icycle Bicycle At Fontana Village

2009-02-03T17:29:00.000-08:00

This past weekend we went to the annual Icycle Bicycle in Fontana. Last year we went with Wyatt when he was just 2 weeks old. He did awesome then and did just as good this year, though a little more busier this year. The weather was in the mid 50's and thus warm enough to allow us to go out and visit and partake in some of the fun in between meals and naps. I think we all had a pretty good time. Here are some pictures of the weekend. If you can't tell from the pictures I think Wyatt had the most fun exploring every inch of the cabin.

My Daddy and I Made My First Fort

2009-01-30T18:36:00.000-08:00

Today dad came in and was really excited to make me my first fort. So... He used my new birthday present, mommies black blanket, and some super strong clamps that he borrowed from his garage to create my first fort. It was pretty interesting, but I went into it with daddy. See our cool fortress and my daddy and I inside it.

Sleepy

2009-01-30T14:03:00.000-08:00

I went to check on Wyatt this afternoon just really to see if he had actually gone to sleep. He had been talking and wallering in his bed for quite awhile before he evidently finally gave in to the sleepies. As you can see from the picture I think this is one of the reasons why it took us so long to fall asleep. We needed to gather all of our possessions in order to settle completely. Goofy guy, but we love him.

Snow Bunny? Not So Much

2009-01-30T13:47:00.000-08:00

Tuesday brought the first snow day in a very long time. I thought that Wyatt might enjoy going outside and seeing the fluffy white stuff, so we got up and got dressed and went outside. But, we weren't so excited about it as you can see. So, I quickly shot these two pictures and then we quickly ran back inside where we were much more happy and content.

Sick

2009-01-30T13:34:00.000-08:00

Well, so it finally happened to us. We've been so very fortunate and lucky to not have any major illness es thus far in our first year. But, I think that luck finally ended about 2 weeks ago. It all started when Doug came home from a weekend hunting adventure and had diarrhea for about 24 hours straight. FUN! Then we had a down day and nobody was ill and then Tuesday night it was poor little Wyatt's turn. He began vomiting at midnight or so early Wed. morning and continue until late Wed. morning. Then we looked to be on the mend until the diarrhea started Thursday night. Also about that same time I got sick throwing up all night long until 5:00 AM Friday morning. Then Wyatt persisted with diarrhea until Sat. when we started to throw up round two. Sunday and Monday were so, so days and again we thought we were on the mend until we threw up for the third time and had another three diarrhea diapers. But, then Tuesday came and the forgiving sun must have rose with us that day because that was finally the day that it all seemed to finally get better.

Anyway long story short here is a somewhat pitiful picture of Wyatt and daddy sitting on the couch just hanging out on Tuesday night. The apparent day of final recovery. Thank goodness. Also a pic. of daddy and Wyatt mending the scratchy throat with a moisturizing Popsicle.

My 1st haircut

2009-01-17T13:07:00.000-08:00

I can't believe it's been one year since my last haircut. I'm just kidding. It was finally time for our first hair cut. His bangs were starting to get so long they were getting in his eyes and he's not quite got the coordination to be able to sweep them out of of the way. So, we went to the "salon" this morning and snipped our baby hairs right off. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a lot of pictures because, as everyone who knows Wyatt knows, he was kind of wiggly. Surprise, surprise. He did so well though Cindi, the hairdresser, was so impressed with him. So, I guess he got an A+ on his first hair cut.

My First Birthday!

2009-01-13T18:40:00.000-08:00

Well for everyone who doesn't know I'm turning ONE this Wednesday (Jan. 14, 2009 @11:10 AM to be exact). It's hard to believe that we're already here. Here are some pictures of what my Grandma and Grandpa gave me. I really like the slide and am working really hard at trying to climb back up it as well. But before we could have all this fun we had to put it all together. Wyatt tried very hard to help daddy screw the big plastic pieces together 'with the flashlight.' Take a look at our hard work and the resulting FUN that came thereafter.

Wow! It's Been A Long Time..

2008-12-21T21:00:00.000-08:00

Well I apologize for the long lapse in updates. I have just been really busy chasing the little guy around. Now that we are so much more mobile I don't get many chances to sit down and update the blog. Plus are naps are becoming anything but regular anymore, you never know if your going to get a 1/2 hour or 2 hours to do something for your self.

But, now that I am re-emerging, at least for the time being, enjoy the pictures and movies.

First of all how do you like my rooster comb? I mashed my head nice and firmly against the side of my crib during nap time and this is how I awoke. Of course, minus the food on my face that's my dinner if you didn't already figure that one out.

Duck, Duck, Where's A Duck?

2008-12-21T17:50:00.000-08:00

We learned this week to blow duck calls. This a feat that I really think that daddy enjoys alot, but mommy really thinks that it is pretty humorous as well. See what you guys think from my video.

BBRRRRUMMMM......

2008-12-21T17:34:00.000-08:00

Wyatt and I were getting a little stir crazy with the cold weather, so we decided to go outside. We bundled up so we'd be nice and warm and then we found our toys. The rest I believe you can understand from the pictures and movie. Needless to say I think we really enjoyed ourselves and being outdoors for a change.

Bath Time Fun

2008-12-21T17:22:00.000-08:00

We got a new bath time toy today. We're kind of a bit bewildered by it. The propeller on the back is really fascinating to Wyatt.

Toilet Paper!

2008-12-21T17:09:00.000-08:00

We have found the toilet paper. This is not the worst that we have done, but it'll give you a good idea as to our abilities when were really into it.

Pictrue Update

2008-11-23T09:02:00.001-08:00

Sorry for the lapse in pictures but its been busy around here. Here are a couple of new ones. Hope you enjoy.

Dumpster Diver

2008-10-27T18:53:00.000-07:00

This is a funny little blurp. I wish I kept it recording longer cause it was even funnier watching him get out of this predicament.

I promise I really don't encourage him to play in the trash, he just loves the crinkle of the trash bag and then the lid just happens to find its way on/around him. Promise!

Wyatt's 1st Trip To The Beach

2008-10-27T18:14:00.000-07:00

This past week was my fall break and Doug decided to take the week off from work as well and we made a trip to the SC coast. Unfortunately the weather wasn't warm enough to allow for real beach play. But, we were able to get a couple of photos of us camping and on the beach.

Wyatt really had a fascination with the sand and big clam shells that he found (with a little help from his daddy) on the beach.

Enjoy the pics.

Toothes # 3 &4

2008-10-11T17:45:00.000-07:00

Daddy found my two front teeth this past weekend. Only the right front one has actually broken through the gum, however the left front tooth is hovering just below the gum. I guess it's just waiting for it's turn to make it's entrance. However as fast as the other one's have come in I don't think it will take anytime.
Hopefully we'll be able to get a picture up soon. No more baby gummy smiles. :o(

Water Bowl Shuffle

2008-10-11T13:17:00.000-07:00

Wyatt is so talented! He created his own dance step. He even incorporated some props to add some pizazz.

I Think I Can

2008-10-04T13:09:00.000-07:00

Wyatt has been climbing through and over chair legs at his Grandma's house for a couple of weeks, but he just decided to do it at home tonight. We still have a little more practice in store for us. He tends to get hung on his belly, but lots of grunts and wiggles back and for he can usually clear the rung on the chair.

Soccer Anyone?

2008-10-02T13:02:00.000-07:00

I think we might have a pro on hands, but we gotta figure out how to keep our hands of the ball first. Maybe we'll hit the Pee Wee circuit first. We'll be sure to get you the schedule as soon as we know it. Promise.

Burglar In The House!

2008-09-30T12:35:00.000-07:00

Well Wyatt has now become fascinating with opening and closing doors, of all kinds and sizes. But, we just found out today just how good he is at clearing out what's behind those doors once he's opened the cabinet door.
As you can guess we are so much better at getting things out than we are at putting them back.

Tooth #2

2008-09-28T12:56:00.000-07:00

I have two teeth. Can you see them?

Motorcycles!!

2008-09-23T18:05:00.000-07:00

Wyatt and daddy are really trying to get in the practice of riding the motorcycle, so that they'll be ready to go when he gets a little bigger. Take a peek and see how much fun they had. Think he's ready for his own? Maybe a couple more months, right?.

2008-09-12T06:24:00.000-07:00

WARNING! This video's volume might be sort of loud, so if your in a public place I would definitely turn the volume down or off before you play it.

I hope that you enjoy this, we had a good laugh while creating it. This was our dry bath for the day.

Hope we can make you smile again real soon.

First Tooth

2008-09-07T17:52:00.001-07:00

My first tooth has appeared. Just a couple more till I can munch on some real chow. Can't wait.

Trouble?

2008-08-28T06:36:00.001-07:00

What do you think? Am I going to get in to something "bad"?

Peek-A-Boo

2008-08-28T05:53:00.000-07:00

We've started to play in our play pen here and there so that mommy can do some things around the house while I'm able to play and entertain myself. Last night mommy caught some snap shots of the fun that I sometimes have while in my play pen and a short video of my peek-a-boo silliness.

Crawling, Pull/Push, and Standing

2008-08-21T17:56:00.000-07:00

Well its been a little while since I've posted pictures. There are actually a couple of reasons for this. One is that I have gone back to work and thus am not just lounging around anymore (hahaha). Two is that we have become more and more mobile now and it is getting harder and harder to leave him long enough to take a picture of him, without him getting into something unexpected before I can get back to him. But, recently I forced myself to make some pictures. Hope you enjoy them.

These next pictures are a sequence. The first couple are kind of funny.

Here is a short video to show you how I crawl. It's really more like the combat crawl.

Buggin Out

2008-08-02T08:00:00.000-07:00

Tonight after I put Wyatt to bed and Doug and his pals got home we were hanging out outside when we saw this little guy. None of us had ever seen one of these in moulting action. We usually just see the left over skeleton on tree bark. Check it out, it is pretty cool looking.

New Bike Trailer

2008-08-01T08:16:00.000-07:00

Here is our new bike trailer. I hope I put it together right. Guess we'll find out soon.

Swim Lessons Cont.

2008-08-01T06:52:00.000-07:00

Okay, so there was a little delay, but as promised here are some pictures from our swim lessons. Sadly though yesterday was our last day. We will have to take some trips to the gym pool to keep in practice of what we've learned. At the end of it all we were able to go under water, float on our back, kick our legs and pat our arms in the water, lean/jump to mom in the pool, spit water ( instead of swallowing it), and have lots of fun in the water. Of course all of this was done with a little help from my mommy and our wonderful swim instructor.

Hopefully we will get to catch up with the lessons next spring or summer. Until then enjoy these pictures.

Parent and Tot Swim Time

2008-07-23T17:42:00.000-07:00

After seeing how much fun Wyatt had at the lake, a couple of weeks ago, we decided to enroll him in swimming lessons. So, this week was our first week. We are the only people in our class this session at the Oak Ridge Civic Center. The instructor has 24 and an 18 year old daughters and is a retired early childhood educator. She is great to learn from and Wyatt has a blast. Today he went under water for the first time, without any tears, crying, or fussing. Actually both of us went under water together. He's so awesome! Even if I may be a little bit biased.

I will try to get some pictures to post up.

How's My Hair Do?

2008-07-23T17:36:00.000-07:00

How do you like my new "Do"? My mommy says I look really cool. I think she said something about being a chick magnet, too. I wonder what that means?

Sippy Cup Action Time

2008-07-23T17:29:00.000-07:00

Wyatt has just realized how to suck from a sippy cup. Wow he's getting so big. Yikes!

What? Messy Food?

2008-07-12T19:12:00.000-07:00

Today while eating our evening bit of cereal I thought it would be fun to let Wyatt entertain himself with his cereal bowl. He has been really trying hard to grab at and hold on to the bowl when I've been feeding him. So, here are some pictures of the fun he had. He's so silly.

Splish Splash

2008-07-11T19:30:00.000-07:00

This past weekend we had intended to go to the beach for a short get away. However, because it became difficult to find a sitter for our puppies we decided to forgo the trip. Instead Doug, Wyatt, and I took a short trip to the beach at a nearby lake. It was very fun. Wyatt is definitely quite the little fish. I think we might have to research little baby swimming classes. He really does enjoy it. And he really loves it when his daddy entertains him like he did in this last video. As you also see this really wore us out, he slept all night long last night. Yeah!
Enjoy the pics.

Beginning to Rock

2008-06-30T11:59:00.000-07:00

We are starting to rock on our knees more and more. We are probably within weeks of starting to crawl. But, only time will truly tell. Stay posted to see when it actually happens.

Snowshoe Trip

2008-06-29T11:37:00.000-07:00

This past weekend we went to Snowshoe, WV, to a bike race that Doug was racing in. We took our new trailer and actually used almost all the conveniences that it provides. I must admit we don't have a ton of pictures because being the first big trip with the trailer and Wyatt it was sort of a fly by the seat of your pants trip. But, we did get a couple of pictures. Hope you enjoy them.

I think Wyatt really likes driving the big trucks like daddy does. What do you think?

FOOD Food food...

2008-06-25T11:54:00.000-07:00

Now that we have started eating real food (i.e. rice cereal) we have began to think that everything is or at least should be food and we try to put everything in our mouth even daddy's head and hair.

Isabella Loves Me

2008-06-16T13:24:00.000-07:00

Today while playing outside Isabella decided to give me couple of kisses. She one of my favorite puppies. Watch and see!

My First Non Liquid Meal

2008-06-11T13:08:00.000-07:00

This Wednesday we decided to start eating our rice cereal. The doctor had okayed us to start whenever we wanted, but also said we could hold off as long as we wanted, because we were gaining weight so well. So, originally we had decided we would hold off for a while because real food tends to lead to stinky diapers but since our toots have been getting stinkier and stinkier mommy decided we had nothing else to loose. So we started. Here are just a couple of pictures. As you can see were first timers we forgot to put our bib on, so we got really really messy.

Summer Vacation Continuation

2008-06-11T09:16:00.000-07:00

We are definitely enjoying our time out doors as much as we can. However with the heat wave it has been somewhat hard to get outside lately. But, as you can see from our pictures we are managing it every once in a while.

We have also been trying out our backpack carrier as to get ready for our trip to Snowshoe, WV in a couple of weeks.

And finally I do believe we might have a thumb sucker on our hands.

I Can Roll From My Back to My Front

2008-06-10T12:52:00.000-07:00

I have been on the verge of rolling from my back to my front for quite some time. However, today I finally put all the parts of it together and showed what I can do. Take a look and see what I can do now.

Summer Vacation Has Begun

2008-06-04T10:53:00.000-07:00

I am now off for the summer officially. We have been having lots of fun and getting lots of things done around the house, since I'm at home during the day and Mr. Wyatt has now discovered the "Regular Nap". We are also about to start on the construction of a second bathroom in our basement. That will be awesome, especially when we have company in town and such.

We have a couple of small trips planned this summer, so we will soon get to enjoy our trailer that we bought last fall. I'm sure that there will be many posts and pictures to come regarding these.

Lastly here are a couple of pictures of us just hanging out during the day and the evening. Enjoy!

Memorial Day Weekend

2008-05-26T12:09:00.000-07:00

This past weekend, Memorial Day weekend, was a quiet and relatively uneventful one. Doug had gone to NJ to the US Open downhill race with three other friends. Maybe will be able to post some of those pictures when he returns. I took Wyatt to work with me Fri. because he had gotten his 4 mo. shots the day before and he still wasn't quite himself. Not that I got a lot of work done, but being the last day of school, I don't think I got much less than anyone else that was there that day.

Sat. and Sun. we went here and there running errands and then enjoyed a walk down by the river and laying in the yard under one of our many shade trees.

Wyatt is really beginning to enjoy his "Johnny Jump Up." I'm going to try to post up a short movie of it. Cross your fingers that'll work.

Shuttling in Hartford and More Pictures

2008-05-19T18:00:00.000-07:00

This past weekend Wyatt and I went to Hartford NC(?) to shuttle Doug and two of his friends and enjoy the scenery. While I was shuttling I took a couple of pictures.
I also took a few more pictures of Wyatt and thought I would throw in a picture of our youngest dog Isabella.

First Pictures Added!

2008-05-11T14:59:00.000-07:00

Here are the first pictures that I have posted I hope the come up. Here is daddy and Wyatt chilling out watching a movie on the couch and Wyatt crashed out on the couch after a very long day. Hope you enjoy.

2008-05-11T14:31:00.000-07:00

Hello from the Ferguson household. This is the first time I have really tried anything like this, so this will be a little experiment to see if I am as technologically savvy as I think I might be. Today is Mother's day and my very cool mother's day present was a new digital camera. I thought that it might be neat to try out something like this to post the new photos that I take. I hope that it works out and that I keep up with it, but time will tell. Keep your fingers crossed and stay tuned for more posts to come.
