Wyatt's 1

Today is Wyatt's 1st Birthday (03.05)

To get our new readers up to speed on what was going on a year ago, read this and this.

We had a Construction Equipment Theme party for Wyatt today at Bethany's playground.  Wyatt had a bunch of family and friends come to celebrate this special day with him, play with Tonka toys, slide down the slides and just have fun like only kids can do.  He couldn't tell everyone how much it meant to him to have them there and to be honest, he didn't know most of the people there but I do know that years from know when he see the pictures and videos he will understand and know how many people love him and care about him (He will even get to see a video of how much Michael cared about him as he was leaving before the party was over).  Since he couldn't tell you, LA and I will tell you "Thank You" and it means the world to us to have a loving and supportive group of family and friends and it is something that LA and I appreciate more than I can express on this blog.

The best part of the party was that we didn't have to call 911 and as far was I know Greg and Jenn or any other family as of 11:08pm didn't ended up at any local area hospital from injuries while playing on the playground (which is a miracle for Greg and Jenn, I was on pins and needles the whole time they were there because we didn't get the insurance rider when we reserved the playground).  We didn't even need an ice pack or band aids (which is pretty amazing since it seems everyday Aubrey tells us or shows us a place where she got an ice pack from something that happened on the playground...Paige was the closest to needing an ice pack after a fall but some mommy loving took care of it.).  My mother whose age will be withheld (you know my age do the math and then add 7 and remember I am the second child - my sister is 5 years older than me) actually got in the swings and as John Anderson said "she was swinging".  I haven't seen her in a swing in a long, long, long time.  It was good to see her having some fun.  In addition to the party, I volunteered our attendees to check out the safety of the big swings and it passed the safety check - Corey, Scott and Wesley all on the swing at the same time and nothing broke - if you looking for a swing set, call Bethany CDC to find out the kind of swing because I am telling you it is the strongest and safest on the market if it could hold all that weight.  The kids in CDC can swing safely now knowing that the swing set is safe.

What's up with March 5th other than it being Wyatt's birthday?

*March 5th is the 64 day of the year / 294 shopping days until Christmas
*Wyatt is happy to share his birthday with Niki Taylor and Eva Mendes (he and his daddy are hoping for a group party one year)
*Boston Massacre in 1770
*John Belushi was found dead at 33
*Martha Stewart was found guilty of lying to the government

Pretty slow day but it is now extra special to us because of Wyatt

A big shout out to everyone who attended....Thanks for giving up part of your day to spend it with Wyatt and us. 

PS - Wyatt did have a tooth break through on Thursday before his birthday.  It's a start.

PSS - Just in case you were wondering if we keep a list of those that didn't attend, we would never do that or would we....nah, never

PSSS - Sorry, you couldn't make it Aunt Julie and Uncle Chris

PSSSS - Pictures and videos from the birthday are forthcoming but I have to leave for Vegas tomorrow (Sunday), so it is going to be a few days.
