William's 2 year pictures.

Last weekend I took William to have his pictures taken. We chose to have them taken outside rather than in a studio setting. Tammy Young, who is a photographer with Celebrity Kids snapped all the wonderful pictures. We met at PaPa John's corporate office, it's a great place to take photos. The scenery is absolutely beautiful. Here are a few of the 200 photos that were taken.

William's two year check up

William had his two year well check this past Thursday, and of course he looks good! His weight is in the 50th percentile, his height between 50th and 75th and his head circumference is just above 75th percentile. He had to get blood drawn, (standard procedure) to check his iron level and to check for lead. They checked for lead as a precaution because of all the toys that contained lead that were made in China. Oh, I almost forgot, he had to get one shot.
Now that Will is two he can enjoy peanut butter. He had his first PB&J sandwich on Friday, umm, soo good!!

Casey, don't fall off your chair, two posting's in less than a week! I know it's a little over the top!!

William is 2!!

Our sweet little boy has turned two, it's amazing how fast time flies. William celebrated his 2nd birthday with friends and family, he had such a great time. We planned for his party to mainly be outside so we were hoping for good weather. It was good in the sense that it was dry and sunny, but it sure was a scorcher! We rented an inflatable bouncer with an attached slide for the kidos to play on in the backyard. After cake and ice cream and after William opened his presents most of us played outside with water guns, water balloons and the hose. The water balloons were compliments of Cristy and Caden, (Cristy brought lots of balloons full of water and ready to throw). I had no idea she was bringing them, what a great way to cool off on such a hot day! William had never held a water balloon before he loved the fact that when he squeezed it the balloon burst and he got wet!
Thanks to everyone for joining us for William's special day. Of course, an extra thanks to Emmy and Gracie for always helping out with their favorite cousin. You two are wonderful with William, especially with keeping him happy!! Abby Kate we missed you at the party, hope to see you in Florida.

It seems like we stay soo busy and things rarely slow down. Here are a few pictures of what we've been up to. Now that the weather is getting warmer I can't hardly keep William inside, he absolutely loves the outdoors even as a baby he enjoyed being outside.

William loves to watch Daddy's plane touch down and loves to be the first one to greet him, he can't wait to climb into the cockpit and press every button he can get his little fingers on. He think's every airplane belongs to Daddy and that the airport is his too. He points to every plane and says, "plane, Daddy's"! We visited with Aunt Casey and Abby Kate, while they we're home. William and Abby played together at the park.

What's kept us the busiest is the dreadful chore....yard work!! My thumb is turning a little greener, but I don't think I will EVER get all the weeds pulled! It is nearly impossible there are just to many. Emmy and Gracie helping out in the yard in the rain, we had a good time. Thanks you two for all your help.

Apache Helicopter

Brian and William sitting in the cockpit of an Apache Helicopter at Bowman Field. Mike, one of Brian's flying buddies flies this helicopter for the Army Reserves. William had a great time sitting in the helicopter and was upset when it was time to get out. He also loves to point at the other planes, especially when they take off and land. William enjoy's being at the airport!

ANOTHER SNOW DAY!!!

Fun in the snow! We made a trip to the hardware store to buy William a little toddler sized sled. It's perfect, it has a rope and a handle to pull him. He looks so cute sitting in it! We had a great time yesterday and can't wait to get outside today. We probably have about a foot of snow already and it's still snowing, it looks like a blizzard out there . William says, "snoow" when he looks out the window.
