A Sweet and simple Birthday Party!!

Tonight we had the McBrooms over for dinner and to celebrate Wades 1st Birthday. We gave him his presents as well tonight and the McBrooms

Brought him two awesome gifts. The old school fisher price vacuums and some awesome work site trucks. We gave Wade those car mates, a big dump truck and some hot wheels. He is all set to be a boy now. I tried to make a checkerboard birthday cake and with the help of Tiffany Low it turned out better then I thought. All in all it was a great night and fun times with the kids and some good friends. 

Searching for Ladybugs

This little lady loves going outside and searching for Ladybugs and I tried to get some pictures of it today.

WADSTER!!!!!

What to say about this little man. So so much. 

He hasn't had the easiest first year from spitting up 24/7, ultrasounds, X-rays, having to be on the yuckiest formula ever, and a Dog Bite two weeks before his first birthday. Yet he still finds the time to smile and smile and smile some more.  He definitely threw are life into a whirlwind and I never thought having a second child was going to be so hard, but he has been worth every sleepless night, puked on clothes, pulled at hair, and the 20 lbs that won't go away. 

All the wonderful things about Wade

- His smile his smile and oh man that smile. 

- His Laugh 

- He loves to play with toys more then anything else from Macies to his even Mommys and Daddy's. 

- he is obsessed with holding my comb when I get ready and loves it when I blow dry my hair. If he is on the main level and heard the blow dryer come on he comes rushing upstairs to see it and me. 

- He has been walking know for 2 months, while more so running.

- Wade doesn't let anything hold him back, he somehow finds a way to do what his big sister is doing. 

- He loves to be held and is a little bit obsessed with Mom and Dad and not letting us leave him or put him down. 

- He is not a picky eater as will eat almost anything but he is not that big into cut up food he still likes it processed in the baby bullet.

- Has his seven tooth coming in right now

- is almost down to only one nap a day.

- is on the go all day long. He would be most happiest if I sat in his room with him while he played all day long. 

- says Mama, Dada, hi and ball a couple of times.

- loves clapping his hands and giving high fives. 

- he has some sweet dance moves and loves showing them off. 

I love this little man of mine so much and am so blessed to have him in my life and to get to be his mom. He has such a sweet spirit and kindness to him but is such a boy. Tough and loud and wants to play with anything and anyone. His voice is awesome and I can't wait to hear him talk more. I can't believe he is already one. I love you Wade so much!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

A scary moment!!

Today around 4:00 I got a phone call from my day home that she was at the hospital with Wade and he had been bitten buy a dog. My heart sunk and fear came over my whole body. I ran out of my work faster then ever and rushed to the hospital as fast as possible, gave Mark a call on the way to go pick up Macie and meet me at the hospital. When I got there I was prepared for the worst, it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be but I still teared up seeing my sons face covered in blood and the sad look in his eyes. Lisa was devestated and I can't even imagine how she felt my heart almost aches for her as much as it does for Wade. There was a bit of a waiting game as the room they needed to take Wade into to clean up the wounds were all full. When we finally got in the Doctor confirmed the need for stitches as long as the anisthesiologist would OK it as he was so little. Finally at 9:00 PM I held my son in my arms as they administered the gas and he fell asleep. I kissed his cheeks and then waited a good 20 minutes for the Doctor to come out and tell me all went well and he got 4 stitches. The nurses and Doctors were so good to us. And everyone there, even the other patients fell in love with Wade and his sweet smile. Wade was so good too and in such good spirits for what he went through. I have definitely never been so scared as a mom before, rushing to the hospital. Waiting in the OR for him. I know that we are so lucky as I have heard some horror stories about Dog bites before and to walk out with 4 stitches and some scratches, I can't thank Heavenly Father enough for watching over him and protecting him.
