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.

Happy 1st Birthday Wyatt!

Guess who just had his first birthday?

Birthday Photo Shoot

Wyatt did! Wyatt's first birthday was yesterday and we all had a really fun day. Rob and I discussed going out of town for a long weekend but we decided that it might be more trouble than fun with a 1 and 2 year old. We ended up going to Des Moines to do a little birthday shopping at Toys R Us and the Jordan Creek mall in the morning and have lunch there too.

Birthday Lunch

Yes, we ate lunch at the mall food court. A little lame but a lot easier with the boys than a restaurant is.

We wore him out- time to load up and go home.
All Worn Out

We all got some toys and/or clothes so it was a good day for everyone, not just the birthday boy. Apparently we wore both of them out with the excursion- besides sleeping in the car on the way home, they both took giant naps once we got them home. I went out during naptime to pick up Wyatt's cake and take care of dinner. Here are some dinner and cake pictures.

Blow out the candle!

Finally, we ended the night with opening presents and then playing with all the toys he got.

Best Picture Ever

It was a wonderful day and let me tell you, we all slept a ton last night after such a busy day! Wyatt seemed like he had a good day and I know the rest of us did. Today was the crappy flipside to yesterday though- four shots at the doctor's visit. Yuck. He did okay though. Although we've finally got him eating good, he's still a skinny guy. He's not quite 19 pounds yet. He's kind of a shorty too but I think the weight and length will start to pick up now that he is eating good. He is finally a pretty good sleeper too so we've come a long way in this first year. Wyatt is such an amazing little guy and I love every second with him. We are so lucky to be his parents. Here's to another 99 fantastic birthdays!
