A Horsey Good Time!

At a company picnic hosted by Ryan's office last weekend Meredith and Wyatt had the opportunity to ride ponies.  Meredith rode all six - Mr. Goodbar, Rafael, Maggie, Buckshot, and two others that I can't remember.  Wyatt rode on two Maggie and Rafael.

Meredith also had the chance to feed a stampede of cows and goats.  The baby goats being the coolest.

Easter- Egging!

Easter-Egging is Meredith's new word. She wants to do it all the time - Easter, Halloween, Christmas, her Birthday, next Tuesday, etc.

I got it! I got it!

These teething tablets work great!

I Can Do It . . . I Can Flip Her!

Just hanging out . . . being pretty.

Science Experiment Afternoon!

On a recent Saturday afternoon,  it was raining and gross outside - we were trying to come up with a way to keep Meredith interested in a different way - we came up with science experiments. 

Did you know that if you sprinkle black pepper on top of a bowl of water and then dip your finger covered with dish soap into the middle of the pepper the pepper runs away?    It makes a very cool visual experiment - and you can do it over and over again.  Meredith loved it.  Only problem - I have no idea why what happens. 

Then we experimented with a baking soda and vinegar volcano.  Meredith had been interested in volcanoes at the time.  We had been reading books and looking at pictures and this experiment was perfect.  (Now she is interested in germs and she wants to be a shmientist (scientist) that studies germs when she grows up.)

Then we made slime.  Pink slime.  We followed the recipe from the grossology website.  It was great. Very slimy.

I think I will plan another science experiment afternoon soon.

Fighting off the crankies.

Here we are fighting off the crankies.  Every once in a while Wyatt gets a little cranky.  When this happens he gets stuck in a sulky mood - kind of like a broken record - however, we have found that if we can change his environment or situation drastically we can help him snap out of it.  Water works great.

Family Picnic

Our first family picnic as a family of four.  We had sandwiches, strawberries and fun in 300 mile per hour winds.

Lots of Fun!

6 Month Old Cutie

Here is the cutest boy that ever lived. We took this picture on 3/28/10 - Wyatt's 6 month birthday. Here he is sitting on a blanket in the kitchen playing with his busy box - keeping his Mama company while she cooks.
