3 Never Looked so GOOD

 This guy is finally 3!!!!  Yeah!!! Wyatt was so excited for his special day!  We celebrated with our little family on his birthday and then with the whole mass of family last night.  He was spoiled with Ninja Turtles, superheroes, and legos.  Seriously, Wyatt brings our family so much joy!  Whether he is doing the slumpty when he doesn't get his way, or whether he is showing off his chub-chubs, he is always making us laugh.  Wyatt loves trucks, ninja turtles, swimming and food.  He can out-eat any grown man (serious!)  He is so sweet and loving, gets shy with those he doesn't know, and is our rough and tumble boy.  In fact, just the other day, a little girl ran into him and went flying backwards, and then Wyatt started crying because he was embarrassed.  He is a great sleeper, loves his siblings, and tells me every day that I am the best.  My heart is 2 sizes bigger because of this guy.  Happy birthday Wyatt.  Love you buddy.

Photo Booth

What is the stool leaning on a truck you may ask???  It's a photo booth!!! Duh!  Paige set up this little masterpiece for us a few nights ago.  We sat and looked at the camera (aka stool) while she scrambled behind us drawing our photos.  Pretty cute if you ask me.  Then of course, ice-cream followed.  I'm sure you can tell by Wyatt's giant thumb-up that he approves (he has the belly to prove it!)  I love the ice-cream on his forehead where he has put the bowl up to his face and tried to lick the bottom of his bowl.  Keepin' it classy baby.

My baby is not a baby

So my baby is not a baby anymore.  This big man headed to his first day of pre-school last week.  He was so excited that he got to be big just like Brock and Paige.  Of course, upon arrival, he was super-shy and would not look at Mrs. Julie or Grandma Smith at all.  Once he saw the trucks though, he was good to go!!!  We love you Wy-guy!  You are so big-- we love you.

Panorama Here we Come!!

Look out!!  I am the proud mama of a 1st grader and a 3rd grader!!  Look at those cutie-pie kids on their first day of school.  Both kids were SOOOO excited to be back at school with their teachers and friends.  Brock is big now, you know, so he said he would show Paige the ropes.  Paige is just excited to each lunch at school!!  How cool!!  Both kids wanted to dress "sporty" for the first day, so here are their picks on outfits.  I am a lucky mom to have such great kids!!

No "BUTTS" about it

Ok, here is the story of the year.  So, we get back from camping and the boys hit the bath.  I come in to find the water a bit on the pinkish/redish side.  So I ask Brock why?  He says that Wyatt has a cut on his bum.  I turn Wyatt around and his butt is seriously bleeding.  I am dumbfounded???  What did he sit on that cut him???  Then Brock gets out and his butt looks the same.  What the?????? 

So then I gently ask Brock what happened.  Well, apparently, I left my razor in the bathtub, and the boys thought it would be a good idea to SHAVE EACH OTHER'S BUTTS.  I am laughing just writing this.  Apparently, they didn't know that razor's are super sharp and CUT YOU.  Needless to say, add this story to the rest of the Felder's memory book.  No hairy butts around here!!!!

Hello Heaven

So what does a family do on the last weekend before fall two-adays and crazy madness????  WE RAN AWAY!!  We headed to a new location, Yankee Meadow.  By the way, it is our new FAVORITE location.  It was gorgeous in every way!  Tucked away high in the mountain top and REAL fires just made it the best!!  And the best part, NO SERVICE!! No calls period!!!

We got there, set up, and headed down the mountain to eat at the Daily Freeze.  After fries and milkshakes, back up the mountain for a REAL fire!!!  And SWEATSHIRTS!!  We were in heaven enjoying the scenery and the kids had a blast building forts and making "tools".  Wyatt chose to make it his personal "porta-potty" but oh well, gotta be at one with nature.

Grandma and Papa came up for some fishing and dutch oven dinners and we so enjoyed sitting around the campsite visiting with them.  It was the best preparation for a busy volleyball season ahead!!
