Peekaboo

Jack is FINALLY feeling better, sleeping through the night, and having GREAT days at daycare. He has been a lot of fun at night. This is one of three videos- the 2nd is a bathtub video (which we won't post), and the 3rd will be up soon!

What a great day

We were lucky enough to be home together for Jack's 11 month birthday. We haven't really done anything too exciting for his month birthdays, but for some reason I was very excited about this one! We had a FABULOUS DAY!
He is really into my electric toothbrush- so while I brush my teeth, I give him his toothbrush. (No, we don't really brush his teeth, but he likes to put it in his mouth.)

We went shopping at Costco with friends, and then came home for lunch. I love that we could leave him and his friend in the other room together and they just played together. She helped him press the buttons on his learning tadpole. :)

Just playing around, climbing on his box of diapers. :)
Playing with Daddy's hair... And to finish off a great day, his other friend came over to play. Maybe the playdate was really for Mom & Dad to play Mario Brothers (on the Wii), but it was fun for everyone! (Yes Jack looks a little weird, but that's the only picture I took.)And of course, Jack getting good use out of his toy he got for Christmas. We've placed bets on when Jack might decide to walk... we'll see who is right!

A Wilson Family Christmas

Anyone who knows me would probably agree that I am constantly on the go. Now, multiply that by 18 people and you have a fun-filled, action packed Holiday week! It was spectacular! (and exhausting)

Christmas Eve we were in Naperville seeing Michelle & Scott. We did our sister Secret Santa gifts and gifts for the kids. It was great! We got from (Manda & Ben) our keypad for our garage door and Jack got is BYU hat! Jack also got a sneak peak at his walking/riding toy that "santa" brought for him Christmas Morning, because Michelle and Scott had one for their kids. It was an instant win! (We have been playing with it at our house and Jack is starting to walk behind it, all on his own. It is very exciting!)

Our Christmas Eve celebration also included a Wilson Family talent show with music, Dancing, cartwheels, juggling, balancing acts, etc. It was fabulous!
Christmas Day night Michelle & Scott made it up to Grandma & Papa's house and we opened more presents and played a game that Dan wrote/executed for us girls! It was based on Jay Leno's JayWalking, so it was quite entertaining.

And of course, another tradition- reading the Nativity story. We have Joseph (Micah), Mary (Lauren) and the three other Grandkids with Grandma and Papa.


The Day after Christmas we played a friendly game of volleyball, while Grandma Cindy watched all 3 little grandkids on the stage. Jack loved watching the ball go back and forth, Michelle took some great pictures!
And of course, we can't call it a night after a volleyball game, we stayed to watch a movie. If you look closely, you can find 9 adults snuggled in (Grandma & Grandpa, and 2 more were smart enough to just go to bed.)

And the last official day of our Christmas Celebration- our big Wilson family Christmas party. All 6 girls just ended up next to eachother chatting.

And of course, the big family. Who knows how our family may change before we all see eachother again... For us, a picture like this is priceless.
It was a great week! Luckily we had a long new Year's Weekend to look forward to with nothing on the calendar but a little R&R.

It's a Wonderful Life...

Dan took a weekend trip to AZ to see the Packers play, so Jack and I went to stay the weekend with Papa Russ (because Grandma Cindy and Marcia headed to ID to get Marcia set up for a new semester at school.) We just enjoyed relaxing, playing with Jack, and watched the movie "It's a Wonderful Life." I think I have avoided that movie because it is in black and white, but I really enjoyed it, and will even give another good classic a try. :)

While Dan was away, Jack picked up a new trick! I think we have him all kinds of confused!



I've got a pretty wonderful life...
