Wresting with Loki

For several months Will has found it super fun to try and body slam Loki. Usually Loki gets away or we let him past the gate, but today he just kept "playing" with Will. I had to take some pictures!

We are so lucky that Loki puts up with him. :) After this I did let Loki go back "beyond the gate" so that he could have some peace and quiet. 

Christmas Lights and a haircut!

Monday night we were finally able to attempt to give Will his first real haircut. :) I wanted to try and do it with scissors because I didn't want his hair to have the buzz cut look. So Matt held Will and let him do what ever would keep him occupied and happy while I tried to cut. By the end of it Will had a pretty good haircut, considering he would not hold still, and most of the contents in the bathroom cabinet were in the bathroom sink. LOL
Here are some pictures of his hair, sorry they are not very good...

It is so weird but he looks older now. :(

Tonight we went down to the Riverwalk with some friends. They did a small Christmas light set up so we wanted to check it out. We went with Kim Rabalais (son Kyle) and Orelio and Johanna (son Orelio). Kyle is 4 and Orelio is about a month older than Will. It was pretty cold so we put Will's corduroy coat and hat on and wrapped him up in a fleece blanket. I could only find one of his mittens tho. :( Luckily Will didn't move at all so his hands stayed warm under the blanket. 

 Walking through the lighted tunnel.

 Orelio :) He is such a cutie!

 I think Will is over it. LOL

 "I am Batman!"

It wasn't as cool as walking through Temple Square but it was a fun little outing. They also had an area where the kids could sit on Santas lap, but it was way too cold to wait in the line. 

Christmas is in a couple of days and I am excited to see what Will does. Hopefully fun pictures to come!

Here is a random picture that I found on the camera. It was taken about 2 months ago. But it is super cute!

 

December fun!

Things around our house have been pretty slow the past couple of weeks. I have tried to do some fun stuff with Will for the Holidays. We went to a local play place and made a Christmas tree ornament using an imprint of Will's hand. :) It was really hard getting him to cooperate for me to get a good enough imprint. After getting the imprint i painted it and added eyes and some cotton so that it looks like Santa!

It is now proudly hanging on our tree! :)
















This morning was kind of fun too. Will was being grumpy about eating breakfast so I decided to see if he wanted to do it himself. Turns out he did! :) Unfortunately, none got in his mouth. He played for a bit until he started flinging it everywhere. :)

This morning Will was playing in the kitchen and I heard him start to fuss. So I went in to see what was wrong and found him stuck in the bottom drawer. LOL I couldn't help myself I had to take a picture before I got him out. 

We also gave Will his first haircut. Well his first real haircut. He has had it trimmed before but this time we tried to give him a real cut. Matt held him and let him play in the cabinet while I tried to cut. I have to say I didn't do too bad. There are a couple of spots that could be better or where I accidentally took a bit too much off. But For the most part the back is straight and you can see his ears again! . :) The real test will be when I get him from his morning nap. Usually his hair is all kinds of crazy because it was soo long.

Baby Boy is no longer a baby :(

I know I am a lot late, but I blame my camera. :) Nevertheless it has happened, my baby boy is now a toddler! 
We had a lot of fun celebrating his birthday while we were in the great north! LOL Although it didn't feel like it, no snow! 
Sandy and Bill invited some of their friends, The Johnson's, over to celebrate with us. We had Will's favorite food for dinner, spaghetti, and had cake and ice cream for dessert. Will was spoiled, but he loved all the toys, attention, and especially the balloons! 

 Will's airplane cake and helicopter smash cake. I think I did pretty good. :)

 First present, here we go!

 "Oooh, what's in there!"

 "OK I will take it!"

 He wouldn't be our son if he didn't have at least five helicopters. :)

 The rest of the trip to ND was really good. Will did wonderfully on the plane and even better for both car rides from Billings, MT to Beulah, ND. We were so worried that he would hate being in the car for that long so it was a lovely surprise. We spent the week just hanging out with Matt's parents. Enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner with family and friends. It is nice to spend time with family for a little while. 
After we got back we wanted to celebrate with some of our friends. We decided to have homemade pizza and because I couldn't be bothered to do another cake, we got this yummy ice cream cake from our friends at Cold Stone Creamery. :) Annette did a wonderful job decorating it. 

 Will is growing up so fast. It is exciting to see the new stuff he learns and how smart he is. We are so excited to share Christmas with him. Maybe we will get lucky and TN will see some snow. Or maybe at least some fall weather! :)
