Living planet aquarium

Baileys preschool class went on a Field trip to the living planet aquarium and we tagged along, it was a lot fun, the kids really enjoyed it.

I love my Sophie! She was having so much fun.

a cool frog they could climb on.

they have an open sting ray pool. I was they only one brave enough to touch one. Bailey would start to reach and then pull her arm back at the last second. I had Sophie sitting on the edge and one of the sting rays flipped up at her and she started screaming, it was great.

Dax was totally fascinated by all the the fish he loved it.

these are two random girls that decided Sophie should be in their picture.

fun pics !

I have really been slacking when it has come to our blog, sorry. These are just some fun random pics of the kids. Above is Bailey with baby Cache.
Oh Sophie, you've gotta love that hair!

one smoothie later...

my girls

Such a cute little boy!

Our new house!

So Kyle and I bought our first house!! Here she is... we love it and it has an unfinished basement, so we have room to grow as needed. Right now its kind of a mess, with boxes everywhere, I've decided that we have waaayyy too much stuff. This is our back yard, one of the reasons we chose this house was because the yard is huge! almost a 1/2 acre, we will see if we still like it after we have to mow it a few times... Another picture of our backyard. the first one was straight out our door, this is to the right and the next is to the left. This is my garden... hopefully something grows. I do not have the best track record for keeping plants alive. Kyle keeps teasing me about "growing a garden" but I am determined. Right now I have peas planted... wish me luck! Notice the netting, a neighborhood cat was trying to use it as his litter box, so I covered it but it also works well for keeping my kids out of too, although they still managed to get some rocks in and they are constantly trying to put sticks in it...

We have been doing lots of projects around the house just trying to make it feel like ours. We replaced an old gold fan with this chandelier, that I love and we have been painting, painting, painting. Did I mention we've been painting!

So when we decided to paint the ENTIRE house we thought "no big deal just paint," well its a little more involved then I realized and while I love the new colors, if I ever see a paint brush again it will be too soon! Once I get more organized I will post more pics of all of our projects!

Richards Baby Blessing

For those of you who know my little brother, him and his wife just had their first baby, they named him Cache. All the little kids call him Cache Baby. He is the cutest thing, and he loves me the most (no matter what "others" may say). They had his blessing this past week and most of the family was able to make it. We were just missing part of the Walker crew, so add about four more people to the top picture and you would have the whole Wilson family! Did I mention that their Sacrament meeting started at 8:30!
I think Cache makes grand baby #25 for my Mom and Dad.

Such a cute little family!

Kyle + my brothers and brother in law =

well... this!

They just fuel each others fire and they are always up to some kind of mischief. We went to dinner the night before with all the family and they had the waiter send a fake bill to my dad for about $900, you should have seen my dads reaction... those boys!

Such cute kids!

Bailey's preschool pic!

When we moved up to Utah I had a hard time finding a preschool class for Bailey, I had missed most of the deadlines. Luckily I happened upon this cute little class just in time. They took their class pictures the day she enrolled. She picked out what she wanted to ware, that is her favorite shirt these days. I thought they turned out pretty cute.

A Birthday Marathon !

So in our family we have one birthday a month, except September, from July until December. Kyles is in July, then Bailey's in August, then mine is in October, Sophie's is November and Daxton's is December. So we are officially all birthday ed out.


Bailey turned four years old this year!! She is getting to be all grown up. Can you believe she is going to be in Kindergarten next year!? I cant, I am way too young for that...:) We had a little party at home with the family and then that weekend we took her to chuck-e-cheeses. Oh ya, for those of you who have not yet experienced the joy that is chuck e cheese, its a party! Our cousin Cassidys birthday is just a few days apart from Baileys so we met my sister there and had a double party. Uncle Chris and Aunt Kimber also came, Bailey loves them so much! Apon leaving Chris declared he would "never" take his kids to "that" place! I just have to smile, you'd be suprised what you will do for your children. It was all she wanted to do, and she still talks about when we went to Chuck E Cheeses.

Oh ya... I went all out on her cake this year.... Hey at least it was pink, which is all she really cared about. What you cant see is that the inside was like a heath cake... with the carmel and sweetened condenses milk melted into it. So at least it tasted good!


Blowing out her candles!

Such a cutie!

One fun thing about living up here is that we live about five minutes from IKEA. Which., if you have never been there, is such a fun store! Bailey loves to draw and paint so we got her an esle and art supplies so she could draw to her hearts content. I glad we got it, its been a really fun thing to have.

Then I had my birthday, no pictures necessary... yea, I got older...

Then Sophie had her birthday!

Ok so it is obvious that I am not a cake decorator... That was susposed to be purple lettering, but it came out more greyish....

Oh my Sophie.. she is so much fun! She loves to tackle daddy, paly hide and seek (you put a blanket over her and then you have to find her) and she loves to do what ever her big sister does! We had a fun party for her at the house and Uncle Chris, Aunt Kimber, Uncle Richard and Aunt Jessica all came! It was fun.

Later we took her to feed the fish at Cabellas, which is one of her favorite things to do.

So the cake wasnt that pretty on the outside, but the inside was pretty pimp, if I do say so myself! I found this recipe on line and Kyle helped me make it. It was pretty tastey too.

Sophie is quite the dadys girl! Whenever she gets upset at me she will start crying, "I want daddy!" To which I can only reply me too!

So at least I thought the cake was yummy!

Last but not least...

Look who just turn ONE!

Thats right, this handsome little devil is now one years old, and he is running around like crazy!

Here he is with the traditional "ice cream cone cupcake"

Considering I just handed it to him and let him go to town he really didnt get that messy...

Actully now that I think about it....

My cute little Sophie!

He got to have two little partys. His Aunt Kimber and Uncle Chis came to this one... they must really love my kids!

His sisters helped him open his present.

We got him this cute little rocking horse! I thought it would be a little bigger then it was. It turned out to be a good thing though, cause he tends to get "bucked off" quiet often.

I love my boy!

How did I get so lucky!?
