New Niece!!

This is my newest niece Kaylie Mar Palma.  So cute.  She has a full head of black hair just like her dad Jake.  She is a very sweet baby.

Wyatt holding his new cousin Kaylie!!  He does so well with the little babies.  He really enjoys it.  He held her at least 3 or 4 times.  It was really cute.  He wanted to keep holding her.  He was really excited to see her.  Wyatt didn't get to see her in the hospital when she was born because he got strep the same day as she was born.  We just went to go see her earlier this week.  She was born on October 25th.

Wyatt's Sleeping Spots!!

This is where I found Wyatt one night fast asleep.  He had brushed his teeth and originally had fallen asleep with the toothbrush in his hand touching his nose.  I couldn't believe that he had fallen asleep on the top cushins of the couch.  It must be pretty comfy.

Halloween!!

Halloween this year was so fun.  Wyatt woke up this morning saying he wished that it could be another Halloween day.  On Halloween, Wyatt was in a costume parade at his school (I don't have a decent picture from the parade, they were moving too quick), he had a Halloween party in his classroom which I was able to help plan out and help out in the classroom (they were divided into groups and rotated through 4 stations.  They had a story, played a game, made a craft which was a spider made out of their hand prints, and they had a treat which was ghost sugar cookies that they decorated themselves and rootbeer that I made.)  We carved pumpkins.  2 of them were from Grammy and Papa's garden and one was from our own garden that we carved.  We painted some of the smallerones.  Grammy and Papa came by to see Wyatt in his costume and brought him a fun treat bag.  Wyatt and Doug went out trick or treating for a bit with Wyatt's best friend Justin Clark and his brothers and one other friend, and I stayed home and handed out candy.  Then after a bit we traded so Doug stayed home and I took Wyatt trick or treating.  He went to so many houses that his treat bucket was full.  He was having a hard time carrying it because it was getting heavy.  Doug said that Wyatt and Justin were trick or treating so fast that they were running from door to door and were at least 2 doors ahead at times.  So it was a really fun Halloween!!

Karate Halloween Party!!

Trick or treating.

Wyatt went to his very first Costume Halloween Party at the place he takes karate from.  He got to invite a friend to come along so he brought his best friend Justin Clark.  They had such a fun time.  They had a costume contest.  Wyatt came in third so he won 35 ninja dollars that he gets to use towards prizes through karate.  He earns them every time he goes to class and collects them over time then turns them in.  At the party they also played games, then went trick or treating to his Sensei.  They kept going around in a circle until all of the candy ran out.  It took at least 30 minutes or more to go through all of the treats.  Wyatt and Justin had a great time.  When I asked them what their favorite part was they both said it was getting treats.  We are glad that Justin came along with him.

Wyatt's Hampster Dexter

Wyatt's pet hampster known as "Dexter" passed away either late last night or early this morning.  It was a sad afternoon in our house.  Wyatt has had a rough day.  This is a picture of where we buried him in our back yard.  I hadn't even thought of taking a photo but a good friend of mine suggested it.  Sorry it is a dark photo.  I took it tonight around 9:00pm.  Wyatt's best friend Justin came over and brought him some cookies to help cheer him up.  It was very thoughtful of him.  Wyatt has been missing Dexter a lot over the last few days.

Winter Weather!!

As soon as Wyatt woke up this morning and realize that it had snowed, he got himself dressed in his winter gear to go outside and play in the snow.  He was wearing pj's that were shorts and shortsleeve's.  So he was wearing his boots, gloves, coat, etc. with shorts on.  Funny kid.  He wanted to make a snowman but he didn't have time becuase he had to get to school.  He had fun in the snow for a few minutes this morning before it was gone.

Wyatt's Orange Belt!!

Here is a picture of Wyatt with his Sensei.

Wyatt tested out in karate this last Saturday.  He is now an orange belt in karate.  He is still having fun in karate.  Sometimes he will figt me a bit to do his karate homework but he has fun in the end.  We will try to do some of the things he has learned with him.  He has learned everything so quickly.  He has only been in karate for 4 months now and has ranked up 2 belts.
