Halloween Fun

When we were pregnant with Wyatt, we called him WeeBe - Brendan coined the phrase "we be having a baby" and WeeBe just stuck. A lot of our friends from church still call him Weebs! Last year, we went to a local pumpkin patch and found the Wee Bee pumpkins - it will be a yearly tradition to pick out a Wee Bee pumpkin with our little WeeBe!

We spent Halloween with my dad, Quinn and Sheena. We watched a lot of football, ate some good soup, and even did a little trick-or-treating! Wyatt loved the wagon ride and even grabbed a few pieces of candy out of the bowls. He tried walking up to the doors, but the costume made him a little top heavy! Cutest little puppy ever!

Wyatt and Uncle Quinn. Q was the man in the yellow hat from Curious George.

Fall, Footsteps, and First Haircuts!

Here are a couple of pictures of Wyatt's first haircut. It took several distracting tactics to get him to cooperate - the mudge, a hairbrush, an entire box of tissues, and a whole slew of bathtub toys. Overall, a pretty good haircut from Wyatt's stylist - Daddy!!

Another trip to the zoo, this time with Grandpa Mark and Mama Lynn. He loves the seals, giraffes, hippos and elephants! He woofs when he sees all animals now!

Wyatt's new favorite toy (at least for the moment) - a Halloween slinky!
He likes to wear it as a necklace!

Wouldn't you know it . . . Wyatt took his first steps and I didn't have my camera with me! We were in Home Depot, in the tool section and Wyatt took a few wobbly steps to me - it made Brendan ecstatic! These are pictures from later that evening - it seemed necessary to document the day, and that he was wearing camo and overalls when he took his first steps! He is definitely Brendan's little boy!!

We got together with some friends for some pumpkin carving, wagon rides, and dirt cake and worms! Wyatt was the only kiddo who enjoyed digging through the pumpkin guts - and every now and then tried to sneak a bite of some pumpkin seeds.



Early in October, we went to a pumpkin festival and met up with 3 gals I went to Elementary school with (and haven't seen since jr. high) and their families. It was so much fun catching up with old friends, and enjoying all of the FREE fall activities!

Wyatt loved the petting zoo, especially the soft bunny!

Crested Butte

LOVE this!

We went on a family trip to Crested Butte a couple weekends ago, for our final camping trip of the season (Bren is struggling to believe the season is over) and Wyatt's first trip to our favorite mountain town! We love Crested Butte and while Bren likes to spend time fishing and taking in the incredible views, I spend a majority of the time longing to live there and making us drive/walk around looking at houses! If you have not been to Crested Butte, you must go! It is such a wonderful little town! If only we could afford a place over there and talk several people we love in to moving with us . . . we'd be over there in a heart beat! Here are a few pictures from our weekend. My parents were already over there with their trailer, so we shacked up with them and had a lot of fun. The trees were changing and absolutely gorgeous and the weather was perfect! Can't wait for next summer!

Wyatt loves to take my sunglasses off my head and he actually knows how to put them on. Usually they are upside down, but every now and then he gets them on the right way. Mr. Cool!

Wyatt kept taking kleenex out of the box and we would throw it over his head, he thought it was so funny and kept making this cute face!

Bren, Wyatt, and Grandpa Mark at the campsite

He is getting SO big!

The colors were beautiful! Can you blame me for wanting to move there?!

Wyatt, Bren, and Kota

Wyatt was cracking us up the other night. He was putting his shorts on his head and crawling around. He is so funny!

Guess Who's One?!!

Oh my!

Wyatt turned one a week ago today! Where does the time go?! He has blessed us with the most incredible year. He is such a sweet little boy and he is so funny! Wyatt has four teeth now. He can say dada, mama, uh-oh, oops, and Jesus, and he's got the best growl in town! He loves to walk around with his toys and pull himself up on everything, although he doesn't quite have the confidence or interest in walking on his own yet. He loves baths and going for walks in his stroller, hikes in his backpack, playing with his puppy, and reading. He loves food - especially fruit and cheese. He has the cutest little butt-shake when he dances and he loves to give kisses and snuggle. He is such a joy! Thank you to the many family members and friends who helped us celebrate. We have such an incredible support system and we can't thank you enough for loving our son!

So happy!

His first taste of cake . . . this stuff is pretty good!

A birthday lunch. Yum, taco bar! Wyatt gets so excited about food, he is definitely my son when it comes to his love of food!

Playing in his sandbox, a present from Grandpa and Grandma Huff, a few days before his birthday!

An attempt at a beach-themed birthday cake! Thank you Kelyn for the cookbook and Bren for being far more artistic than I could ever be!

Summer Extras

Wyatt is pulling himself up on everything now and trying really hard to walk! Exciting and scary!

We went on Wyatt's first hike at Elk Meadow (a Huff favorite)! He loved it!

I love this picture! Cutest little profile ever! Wyatt is taking full-on big boy baths now and loving it - even when he goes under!!

We went to Keystone for the Bluegrass and Beer festival with our good friends, the Johnsons in August. The babies did great! Here are Bren and Wyatt with Matt and Wyatt's girlfriend, Ella!
Wyatt and I went for a bike ride with Grandpa and Grandma Huff. Needless to say, it was not his favorite experience, but maybe with time he will enjoy it more! He did look awfully cute in his dinosaur helmet though!

Hanging out in his basketball chair - a fun gift from his Hornecker and Bryson aunts and uncles!

Worn out after a weekend of fun! He can fall asleep anywhere!

Wyatt and Russell hanging out on the boat.

We went boating and camping with Katie and Russell in July. Wyatt wasn't a fan of the life jacket at all, but he warmed up to boating after a little while!

Even though the calendar still says summer, it definitely doesn't feel that way in the Huff house anymore! I have been back to work for 4 weeks now, and Wyatt has since started daycare. Although he really seems to be enjoying his weekly adventures with friends, Boden and Ella at Bearly Tawl - Bren and I can hardly stand it!! Wyatt is so active as he approaches his first birthday (just a couple weeks away)! He loves to open and close all of our cabinets, pull out all of his toys, sing and dance, and of course . . . eat!! I know - it's shocking that my son loves to eat!! Here are a few pictures from the rest of our summer adventures - better late than never!
