Christmas Eve-Eve

It;s Christmas eve-eve and the kids couldn't be more excited! Everyday the anticipation grows and grows! I can't wait! Tonight we took our sweet old neighbor Farrell to dinner at Applebee's, He's such a good neighbor! We love him. I'm glad we have been blessed to live by him. I hope in some small way we've been able to bless his life as much as he's blessed ours.

ALMOST CHRISTMAS!

I can't wait for Christmas this year! We have been so blessed and the kids are really beginning to be able to comprehend and enjoy the true meaning of it all. They are so sweet and everyday we are trying to do an act of service and then report on it at bedtime. It's cute. They are really trying to think harder about others and about Jesus. Their little prayers are my very favorite. I love these sweet little babies and am so glad they are ours!

Happy Birthday Carter!

Happy baby sharkey carter is growing up! It makes cry when I talk about my baby being so big. His birthday was complete with A "die-saur" Cake a CAT hat and dump truck and lots of imaginext dinosaurs. What a funny kid. We are so happy he's ours!

SHARKEY'S 2!

Thanksgiving was fun and a little stressful. We Went up to the cabin in Island Park, but it was our year to spend the holiday with Dave's family, so we spent most of our time at ther cabin which was really fun. I learned to play 'ticket-to-ride' and even won once! The thing that made the weekend insane (for me at least) was that we left Jax and Eva with Grandma and Grampa Wilson while Dave,Sharkey and I went to my parents cabin to unload the truck. Well. . . master Jaxson told Grandma that he had "seen' Jurassic Park 3 the movie before- of course meaning he had 'seen the cover' at my parents house. Well, Gramma being the nice thing that she is let them watch it. Yep MY 6 yr old and 4yr old! Crazy! So she felt really bad when they were all curled up in her lap in tears because they were scared. So needless to say that night no one slept much. I sang primary songs pretty much all night long to my trembling sleepy little dino-phobic babies. It was sooooo sad. They would fall asleep for about 15 minutes or so and the wake up screaming about scary dinosaurs. Bless her little heart. It was so fun and I was really happy the next day ( which was the actual thanksgiving day) :( k, maybe not so happy. I was a wreck, exhausted short tempered and soooooo very greatfull to go home that night and cut the trip short.

The absolute highlight of the trip was our little fishing excursion to Macks Inn. They were catching fish on every cast! It was great Eva even caught some and touched the a worm. Carter played in the snow and screamed and ran everytime we showed him a fish ( he must get that from me). It was funny. We had a really great time.

Halloween!

fun fun fun! We had such fun! I love halloween I was a witch and my sister did my makeup and gave me a wart and I looked really scary! Jaxson was "a Ghost with a Bone through his head" that was his idea from the beginning and I was skeptical (but it turned out great!). Eva was the Beautiful Snow White (of course) and Carter was our trusty Fireman ( so cute!). What a funny day. It was really fun. THere ware pics with our fun sister in law Jen carving Pumpkins and some with the kids at Farrells too. They Love him so much!

BLAHHH

That is how I feel Today. Lots to do and no motivation. Six kids running rampant, cold weather so nobody wants to stay outside very long and lots of housework and year end office stuff to do. Where's my magic wand? Sometimes I wish I could wiggle my nose like on bewitched and be one with it all :)

Our Funny Call Family Reunion 2009

Halloween Anticipation

Halloween is going to be so funny this year! I am really excited. Jaxson has decided that he is going to be a "ghost with a bone through his head" funny! Dave and I both tried for the last two months to convince him to be something (anything) else but he's very determined, so I can't wait to see his costume on him. . . it's going to be hilarious! Eva is going to be Snow White. Poor Eva- my mom has tons of costumes in her play room so I told her she had to pick one of them to be this year- or she could wear one of last years dance costumes (because she has like 20). I couldn't rationalize spending MORE money on costumes. Poor picked on EVA. She'll get over it lol :) So anyway she picked Snow White because my mom has matching red sparkly shoes so that's super fun. haha she's silly. Promptly after picking her costume she let me know that this year I need to dress up ( I haven't for a few years) and that I GET to be the wicked step mother from Snow White. funny. So yes I will be dressd as the wicked step mother from Snow White ("the ugly one with the apple" according to Eva) Isn't that nice? I think so too. I'm excited I got a plastic Wart nose at the store-- Jax picked it out. It's very fitting. We've been sick for nearly 6 weeks now so I'm a little "witch-like" I suppose. Haha j/k, but I AM SO TIRED OF SICKNESS, Sick kids are the worst, well maybe just when you're the sick mommy. Moving on. . . I got off on a tangent there but anyways, Halloween will be awesome. Carter is going to be a firefighter (I found a stinking cute outfit at a garage sale this summer!) Dave is going to be a NERD. Literally. He's not gonna dress up so Jax and I got him some "coke bottle" glasses to accentuate it. So silly wilsons! Well I can't wait its gonna be fun and hopefully I'll get some pic's posted before Christmas, but no promises.
