Good Times

Life is good at the Chandler house. We have the green light to move forward on the home remodel. This means all four of us will be moving in to the back house this week. It will be full of fun and challenges as we squeeze in to the small space. Brooke and Wyatt have enjoyed the adventure of packing up the house. They spent most of the morning playing with the empty boxes. Brooke rediscovered her tutu and wore it all day with her red squeaky shoes and pajama shirt.

We video taped W eating peaches today. He loves them! He is ready to walk soon. He is active and can't wait to walk and run. I think he wants to talk too. Ahma already taught him the family catch phrase "I did it!".

Father of the Year

Scott has certainly earned the Father of the Year award for 2009. I am thankful to be with him every day and can not think of a better father. He is a great role model to Brooke and Wyatt and cares for them deeply. Anyone who has been around him knows that being a good father is his number one priority. I captured this picture one early morning before work. Whether it is 2AM, 6AM or 5PM after a long day of work Scott will stop what he is doing to direct 100% of his attention to his family.

We made Scott a hot breakfast on Father's Day and gave him two musical cards with a gift certificate. They were small items to show our appreciation but the true gift was the love Wyatt and Brooke showed. All day long Brooke said "Happy Fathers Day Daddy"!

I made breakfast a week or so later on a Saturday and we all sat down together...Brooke looked around and said "Happy Father's Day Daddy, Happy Father's Day Mommy". I think Brooke believes we only cook a hot breakfast on Father's Day. :)

Brooke's 2nd Birthday

Brooke's 2nd Birthday was a blast! She was very excited to see her good friends Luke, Harrison, Charlie, Cooper, Trip, Ella, Ava and Ross. All of her cousins came to share the day too. We had her dressed in her "fancy" dress and pig tails. She was also wearing a big girl necklace that her good friend Phoebe gave her.

The theme was perfect and everyone loved the lady bug and bumble bee bags that Ahma made.

Wyatt was a good sport all day long. We had worked hard to prepare for the party and made sure to pack everything we needed. We had a detailed list so we wouldn't forget anything. At the end of the party we realized the one thing we forgot....a bottle for Wyatt. He was a trooper though. Elizabeth walked him all around until he stopped crying and fell asleep.

Once we got home we opened the gifts and Brooke loved all of them. The gift bag from Momaw had a picture of Brooke on it. We've kept the bag in Brooke's room and she reminds us daily that that is her bag not Wyatt's. :)
