Trip to the Wildlife Ranch

Trey and I took William to the Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch yesterday. The weather was nice and William enjoyed seeing all of the different animals. If they had antlers or horns, they were called bucks. Most of everything else was a moo cow. Everyone needs a little hug.

He has a stuffed giraffe that he calls Raffi and so the giraffes were obviously named Raffi too.

Checking out the zebras.

I think this picture is funny. He looks like he is having a serious conversation with this goat.

Easter 2009

William's Uncle Tom gave him a tractor magazine and William enjoyed every page of it. In this picture he is showing his cousin Jarett all of the newest models.

Here is proof that William did pick-up one egg on his own. Unfortunately, the egg was shaped like a football so William threw it as far as he could.

William was admiring all of the Easter treasures that Great Grandmother Wojtasczyk, Aunt Joyce and Uncle Terry gave him. They are always so thoughtful!

Easter 2009

William wasn't very interested in hunting his own eggs. He found it more fun to take his cousin Alyssa's eggs. He definitely needs to work on his hunting skills.

On Easter Sunday Trey and I took William out to his family's ranch. This group of trees behind William and I were below Trey's knees when we started dating. It is so amazing to see how fast they have grown.

The perfect day - William is having his first taste of regular chocolate milk while riding in his daddy's "truck"!

William, Kate and Caroline are checking out their treats from the Easter Bunny.

If I could sum up William's favorite word and toy with one word at 18months it would be- "truck"! He talks about trucks every single day...."big truck, Daddy's truck, bye-bye truck".....on and on and on!!! Needless to say the Easter Bunny gave him the perfect gift...a truck!

Spaghetti Anyone?

William managed to get his spaghetti everywhere except his mouth. :)

Live Oak County Fair

Papa Tom took William to see all the animals. This lamb was just the right size for William.

Aunt Shay treated William and Kate to a pony ride. Doesn't he look like a natural?

Kate is showing William her beautiful bunnies that we got to watch her show. We were so proud of the work that both Caroline and Kate did with their animals.

Aunt Shay and William are checking out Caroline's goat before she went in to the show.
First bite of funnel cake with MiMi! He actually only took one bite and didn't really care for it. That was probably because he wasn't feeling well. When William and I got back to New Braunfels that evening he had 104 degree temperature. Turns out he has strep and a small ear infection. With some antibiotics he is on his way to recovery.

Feeding the Ducks

William had a great time today playing with his friend Landon at the park. Everything was going well until William fell on the stone stairs and got a very bad bruise between his eyes. These toddler years sure are tough.

William is admiring the beautiful ducks at Landa Park.

Reid Powell's B-day Party

William and I went to our friend Reid's 1st b-day party. When we first got there William stayed right by me and then he took-off as he became interested in all of the wonderful toys. (Pictured: William, Reid, Gena Powell)

William is carrying on a very serious conversation during his lunch date with his new friend. He insisted that he use the utensils.

William had a great time celebrating Reid's b-day. Thanks for having us Gena and Jay!
