the little in the rock

Sorry for the delay in posting a report about our trip to Little Rock last week. Of all things, I forgot my camera so I had to borrow mom's for the week and then have her send me a disk of all the pictures. We had such a great time! Even though this was Presley's 3rd trip to Little Rock, this was the first time she was able to really explore the sights of the city. We ran non-stop the whole time. We visited lots of old friends, shopped at the Farmers' Market, played at Pinnacle Mountain, and were totally spoiled by family. Here is a photo review of our trip.

Having fun on Mimi and Poppie's screened-in porch.

Trying honeysuckle for the first time. Love my tongue hanging out.

What a face? Did Grammy teach you to do that?

Getting the royal treatment from Uncle Steve.

Rock, rock.

She looks so different with her hair on top of her head.

Whipped cream from a can!

Yummmm!

Looking guilty.

I have been itching for a change and finally decided to color my hair. I haven't had highlights since I was 16 so this was a major undertaking. A good friend of mine has her cosmetology license and agreed to help me out. After a 4 hour highlighting session, I wasn't really digging the results so she spent another 2 hours coloring and here it is...

Here are some pictures from the Lubbock Arts Festival a couple of weeks ago. As a big fan of legos, I really enjoyed the artist featured this year. Makes me want to drag out my old pickle bucket of legos and get creative.

This is a picture of our local Wal-Mart parking lot after about 6 inches of rain. Limited parking.

The newest member of the family...my BOB Stroller. LOVE IT!

Looks like one of those pictures with the kid touching that ball that makes their hair stand up. Gotta love the west Texas winds.

We had to lock Chloe in the laundry room to get a urine sample and Presley was on a mission to free her. Team Chloe!

We are headed to Little Rock this Friday for a visit. I can't wait to see everyone and have some help with our constantly-on-the-move kid!

hey dude

One of Jon's coworkers has some ranch property in Mason, TX southeast of Lubbock that is absolutely beautiful. Jon and I have been down there a few times but it was time for Presley to get a peek. We left Friday afternoon and spent the weekend 4-wheeling, eating great food, sitting around a campfire and getting extra dirty. Presley did great and it was such a treat watching her delve into her new surroundings.

Presley and Daddy ready for a fun-filled day.

The grass was almost as tall as Presley.

The Texas Bluebonnets were so pretty.

Wish I could have gotten her to look at the camera. She was way too interested in the flowers.

Out for an afternoon stroll.

Kisses for Maddie, the North's dog. Winston doesn't get the same kind of attention from P.

There were several cows on the property to greet us.

The Wyatt's.

Some love for Nalla, the other North dog. Winston is still waiting for his love.

a little something about a Wyatt other than Presley

A majority of my posts revolve around Presley but here's some news I had to share about another family member. Jon decided a while back he wanted to specialize in orthopedic sports medicine. This specialization would require an additional year of training and unfortunately there aren't any opportunities to receive that training in Lubbock or Little Rock so we knew we would have to move somewhere new. He spent most of the winter interviewing all over the country and we found out on Tuesday that we are headed to...Albuquerque, New Mexico. It was his first choice so we are both super excited he was chosen to join the program in August 2011. I will keep everyone updated on things as we spend the upcoming year preparing for our next adventure.
