7 years old

And isn't he such a handsome little man?!

You can't see the cowboy boots, but they're there with his pinstriped vest and pants. Daddy and John had cowboy clothes all picked out, but John saw this and flipped. "I've never had a tie before," he said. Now he does. Happy Birthday Buddy!

Wii

We got the Wii a few months ago, and everybody loves it. We like it especially for our family because even John and Billy can play it. We recently got MarioKart and are going to hook up with Auntie in Texas and Grampa in California to play together online. This particular score is from Bill when he got 8 strikes in a row on Wii Sports Bowling. Best game he ever had! Grampa countered 2 days later with a score of 258. Guess we'll have to keep trying!

Tonsils, Tonsils and More Tonsils

Heather had her turn in September, and on the day after Christmas it was Billy's turn. He was pretty whiny for about a week, but up and around playing as much as ever after that. It didn't take him quite as long to recover as it did Heather. Here he is chillin and watchin tv after his surgery was done, wearing a special surgery cap mommy made just for the occasion.

Worn Out

Boy, Wheeler kids can sure wear out grandparents. . .

Christmas 2008

Merry Christmas to all!

Wheeler kids had a great time over Christmas with mom and dad, and grandma and grandpa Beadle visiting from California. Santa Claus was good this year, and we even got a picture of him inside our house!
