Dear American Eagle Outfitters

Dear American Eagle Outfitters,

Do you need any more male models?

PS--You should see him in a chef's hat and checkered pants.

PPS--He's great with kids. 

Raise your hand

 Raise your hand if you love Kim.

Not pictured: me raising my hand.  

Because I actually get to have a free hand or two when Kim is around.  Christian gets spoiled then, and so am I.

Who lets Christian bob for apples to his heart's content?

And lets him swing as long as he wants?

And babysits him on the canoe ride?

 

Kim, that's who.

Stiff competition

Once Danielle told me "I just want to be the favorite aunt.  That's all I ask."
Well, Heather has been giving all other aunts a run for their money.

Take a look at this tombstone, complete with marshmallow skeleton.

I love Eliza's adoring look at Hez prior to our little race across the living room.

Snuggle time with Auntie Hez

 Quit filling out those mission papers, Hez.  Life will be too boring around here.  From, your selfish sister.

The apple falls not far from the tree

Micah is shaping up to be as hilarious as his mama.

Yep, that is a gigantic pile of sprinkles

And Brookie is shaping up to be as beautiful and sweet as her mama.

 

A year ago...

I raided Spencer's website today and found all his shots of last year's picnic:

Remember this little guy?  Mr. Tarantula?  Found on the road that leads to Hope Campground.

 

Could Spencer be any better of a photographer?  This looks like the desktop of a new computer.

Anyone up for a repeat?

Just Like Jacob

Eliza was thrilled to lose her first front tooth, because now she looks "just like Jacob."

(She was less thrilled when the tooth fairy failed to make a drop that night.)

Wilson Reunion 2012, Part 1

 I didn't take many pictures at the reunion, since I was busy keeping up with my own optimistic schedule.  But I did have my camera for the girls' afternoon out and canoeing.  So here you go, Hez.

It wouldn't be a Wilson Outing without the 11 passenger van packed with 13+ occupants, headed for some fun.

Girls' Afternoon Out:

We couldn't decide what to get--bread, smoothies, cupcakes?  So we got a sampling of each.

Gourmet cupcakes (grasshopper, I think)

Kim guided us towards the delicious white chocolate raspberry

I tag anyone that has more pictures to do the next Reunion post (balloon fest, mission-food night, talent show, hairbow making, 4th of July parade, etc).  Spencer?  Mom?
