Wesley is a burst of sunshine.

He is so full of joy and light. This little boy is inspiring.

He makes me want to never wipe a smile off my face. To never have a bad day. 

...And to never want to put him to bed. :) 

Wesley loves boots. 

I could just end there.

But you know I'll keep going :)

Wes has a pair of Buzz snow boots that he adores (that he got from his cousin). But now that we're well into Spring I figured it was time to put the snow boots away. But that just wasn't going to do for Wes. So I bought...(yes, I actually bought something new for my kids. Found a killer SALE!) rain boots for Preston and Wesley. Preston requested plain red because red is his favorite color. And Wesley (might have been persuaded by his mother) picked crocodile boots. There kind of the most adorable things on him. And I LOVE that he LOVES them so much. He gets lots of comments on them when we are out and it makes him so happy!

We love rainy days and the boys look forward to them more than ever now. Always wanting to go puddle jumping in their boots. 

(This picture was actually at my Dr. appointment) 

The last time Wes went in for a check up he had to get his finger poked for a lead check. The nurse was trying to be all discrete about it. She said she was going to put on her silly gloves and Preston blurts out, "your just putting those on so you don't get Wesley's blood all over you." :) Then she pulled out the vile and said something silly about it too. Preston again made sure Wes knew that it was the tube she was going to put all his blood into. What a nice brother, right? The nurse then poked Wesley's finger and Wes sat there and watched the tube fill up the whole time. When she got done Wes said, "Thank you!" He's a tough one.

Wes likes to grab my face and squish his little noise against mine. It's pretty adorable. In this picture he actually grabbed my face and said, "I'm going to eat you like a sandwich" then proceeded to say num num num num.

Wes loves his Daddy so much. The second he hears the key in the door he runs to greet Skyler with a big hug. And usually proceeds with, "You have a good day Dad?" 

We call Wes our little Bulldog, and have since he was a baby. He is always so tough about everything. When he means business he grumbles his little voice and makes sure you know he's serious. But we all know how soft and lovable he really is, so we just laugh it off and he'll start laughing right along with us. 

He can't fool us. He's our little bulldog. But he's most definitely our little sunshine.  

This little man brings so much joy and sunshine into our home. The moment he walks into the room you can't help but smile at him. We are so thankful for every single day we get to watch our little boys grow. 

We just plain love um'

In my family(The Steels) the order of kids is...

Boy, Girl, Boy, Girl, Boy, Boy, Boy

All of us are very close and love being around each other. But I think we would all agree that there are two kids that seem to be inseparable. 

Ryan and Tayler.

They're the two youngest brothers that are closest in age. And when I say inseparable I mean it. They are the ultimate best friends and have been for 17years.

So when I See Preston and Wesley hang all over each other and laugh their little guts out playing, I get so happy. I hope they are just like Ryan and Tayler. Inseparable, best buds. 

I look at these pictures I get so excited for our next little boy to join the party. 

The boys and I were driving around looking for good photo shoot locations when we stumbled upon this gorgeous site. Doesn't it just scream fall. I came up over a hill and all of the sudden was engulfed in GOLD. It was literally all you could see. 

Thankfully I had my camera in the car. 

And along with fall come Halloween. Grandma & Grandpa Steel sent a Halloween package in the mail full of lots of goodies. But our favorite item...the face paint. We got down to business and came up with a Zebra and Spiderman. We were entertained for hours.  

Happy Fall Friends. 

I was cooking dinner in the kitchen one night when I heard Wes scream. I ran to him, where I found him laying on the floor next to the coffee table bleeding from his mouth. He had jumped off the couch and smashed his face/teeth into the table. He happened to be wearing his cape at the time...the little man isn't as super and he would have hoped. I could immediately tell he had smashed two front teeth back, but that seemed to be the extent of his injury. I got him cleaned up and taken care of and he shortly there after was acting like nothing ever happened.

At this point Wes was happy as ever and pretty darn excited to show his shamed teeth to anyone who needed to take a look. We attempted an X-Ray. He sat very patiently while they got him all set up and ready to go. But the moment we stepped out of the room to get the X-Ray and jumped down. 

When it was all said and done we didn't get an X-Ray, so none was really sure what Wes actually did. The Oral Surgeon said he may or may not have fractured something but it didn't look severe enough he needed surgery... So we were good to go. Just like nothing ever happened.   

He was nice and bruised for the next few weeks but totally back to normal by the time we went in for another check up 2 weeks later. His teeth a still really wiggly and may fall out :( So sad. Here's to hoping they don't...for 5 more years. 

And what a perfect week for a mouth injury. 2 Days later Skyler took manikin boards. 

You can kind of see that his teeth have come forward quite a bit, thank goodness. Hope they keep making progress.
