Soon to be homeowners...

Here are some pictures of our house! Jacob loved it and cried when I told him we couldn't go back to "our brand new white house" that day because it wasn't ours yet.

He was all over the place: climbing in cupboards, turning on the spigot outside, and climbing in the dryer and closing its door (and we weren't even playing flashlight tag).

It took about five seconds in the house for him to be leaping on these things by the stairs. I have no idea how we are going to make that safe.

If anyone is interested in more gory details, I have like a billion pictures. It's 1435 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 bathrooms, 2 car garage, laundry room, and actually has grass! I know I'm going to be loving the enclosed backyard (although Jacob and Cindy already started throwing the rocks out of the flowerbed). So far we have really felt like this is the right place for us. Thanks everyone for your prayers. We are so excited to have everyone come visit us here! (Park, library, and community center are all only a few blocks away, and there are a bunch of nice jogging trails too.)

Pool time

Last week Becca and I decided to recreate a little event that took place three years ago.
Except now there are four times as many kids that want Becca's attention!
She really rolled out the red carpet for us. When we arrived she had M+Ms, a full pool and water balloons ready for us. Including "The Cucumber."
It was all fun and games until Micah kept trying to give Lily a blessing.
Luckily Kim arrived and we could split the babies up among their favorite aunts.
I promise he liked the pool more than it seems from this picture.

More of Jordy

Here are a few more pictures of Jordan, courtesy of Cindy T.

Father teaching son (Wii Sports is one of those critical talents to try and develop at a young age)


Construction worker, dutiful son (working on mom and dad's landscaping project)


Father teaching son to kayak ;)


Family man

Misfit

It may have been Kim that didn't hear the call to come for family pictures on the last day of the reunion, but it was obviously someone else that didn't hear the call to look at the camera. (Or put on makeup or fix their hair...well, obviously Rich didn't get the hair message either.)
Plus how is it that Kim looks taller than me in this picture?

Ultrasound

Tomorrow's the big day... Which side will win, Woodbury girls or boys? Cast your votes!

I wish Sarah lived in Las Vegas! I can't believe she got Jacob to smile such a real and sweet smile when he hardly knew her.

Happy Birthday, Jordy!

It's hard to believe Jordan's only been a part of our Wilson extended family for a few years. I'm sure that Sage and Eliza can't remember a time when he wasn't around to play, tease and wrestle with them. I'm grateful Jordan (and Becca too!) was around during the year that Mark commuted to Salt Lake, and during my pregnancy. Eliza, especially, loved and worshipped Jordan. It wasn't hard for me to dig out a bunch of pictures of Jordan (and Becca) doing all kinds of fun things with my girls. The hard part was narrowing them down. Happy Birthday, Jordan.

A big snow of 2007 when I was too cold to go outside. No matter; Becca and Jordan did all the work.

A (different) snowy day at the Funk cabin.

(PS Sage didn't want me to put this picture in. "I don't like my hair.")

Jordy and Becca sharing some cheese fries with the little moocher

Sometimes Jordy was the only one who could (or would take the time to) get Eliza to eat her food. In this case, it was no problem for Eliza to down my expensive drink.

Everyone wants to invite Jordan on their hiking trips now.

Jordan and Jacob

Scooter fun

Not pictured: Jordy rescuing a vomiting Eliza who had popped a paintball in her mouth during church

Not blogged about: Adam's birthday. That was his birthday present.

Models galore

Another model in our midst...and I don't mean the one with pigtails.

Sweet "do"

...and the best mohawk goes to Lily!

Model

We have a model in our midst. Can you guess who??? Perhaps we have 2 models.
