About 2054 Miles

In February 2007, my husband and I packed up all our belongings, drove 2054 miles and moved from California to Iowa. This blog is about my and my husband's adventures, which mainly now feature our two boys- 5 year old Rex and 3 year old Wyatt.

The Great Outdoors

It has been so warm and wonderful for the last week or so- it was 82 here today and in the 80s last weekend as well. We all have been having a great time outside but nobody more so than Rex. He loves to go to the park a few blocks away and go on the slide and jungle gym.





When we can't make it to the park, he likes to play around in the backyard too. He has a little golf set, tee ball set, soccer ball and various toys for the backyard. His favorite? Taking the golf "bag" for his clubs and pretending to vacuum with it. I'm trying to get him to butch it up a little but what woman wouldn't want a man who does the vacuuming? I guess it is good to be well-rounded.



He has this cool big wheels trike to ride on but he is having trouble getting the hang of it so Rob decided to show him how it is done.



Even though Wyatt can't do as much as his big brother just yet, he still likes to be outside and feel the wind blowing through his hair (what little of it there is!).



After a long cold winter, it is so nice to be outside again! I love playing with the boys outside and seeing all my flowers come out of the ground. Right now I have daffodils and hyacinth in bloom and the tulips aren't far behind. Rob will probably even have to mow the grass sometime this week. He got a new mower that he is pretty fired up to use- I'm surprised he hasn't been out there mowing yet just so he can use his new toy. Maybe he is just pacing himself because there will be plenty of time to use it in the next few months. It was a pretty low-key weekend for us. Rob worked on some stuff around the house and I took care of the boys. We're still working on the potty training and man is that a drag. I think I'd almost prefer to change diapers until he is old enough where I can just explain it to him, he gets it and we're done. And it's weird to tell someone how to pee when it is all very different from how you do it. There's a bit of a learning curve there for both of us. Anyhow, still plugging away at that. I realized today that if I can get Wyatt potty trained around the time he is 2, I only have like 1 more year of diapers to go. Woohoo for that!!
