Three Weeks!

Daddy's girl!

funny expression

Sweet siblings:)

Elena and Farrell

Elena weighed 9lbs even at her three week appt and was 20 3/4 inches long. Meaning in just three weeks she's gained over 2 1/2 pounds and grown almost and inch. What a big girl!

All things Lightning!

Carter turned three on sunday and he had himself an awesome "cars" birthday- with the exception of the cake. We took him to pick out a cake at the store fully expecting a lightning mcqueen cake and came home with a spiderman cake. Funny boy. Everything else he got revolved around the Disney movie cars because it is his latest most enduring infatuation. He carries his "Yite-ning" and mater toys everywhere we go. He even sleeps with them-- we know he's totally asleep when we hear one of them fall out of his hand and hit the floor. He is quite the boy! We are so blessed and grateful to have him be part of our family. Carter is a peacemaker and always very sensitive to the needs and feelings of others. Lately he tells everyone "you're the best __________ ever and I yuv (love) you!" and he means every word it. I love it when he tells me I'm "the best mommy ever and I yuv you" It makes my day! What a sweet wonderful spirit he has! We love him soooo much:)

This baby has been an absolute delight! She is perfect, patient and mello. She loves the kids and lets them hold her for as long as they like. She sleeps through all sorts of noise all day long and coos and cuddles mom all night. I'm so grateful to have her as part of our family and so happy to be all these sweet kids mom!

More Baby Pics!

Elena meeting Grandpa Wilson (Grandpa had an appointment in Pocatello the day after Elena was born so we were lucky enough to have them come spend some time with us!)

Elena and Grandma Wilson

Everyone seeing Elena for the first time

Mommers and Eva meeting Elena

Eva and Elena ("I'm so happy to have a sister here!") I love that it looks like Elena is smiling too :)

A tender Jax and baby moment, he's been so sweet and such a big help! Eva's very first meeting with sissy ( I wish you could see her face!)

Carter and "yay-na" meeting (he is sooo funny he's been talking to this baby everyday for months and was sooo excited that she was finally here)

First bath (Dave said she hated the bath part but loved getting her hair washed and done and that then she settled right down-- sounds like she's gonna be like her big sis)

The Kids came to the hospital with my parents and sister Krista and grandpa "Papa" (the kids call him "Old Papa") after church that afternoon and got to meet their sweet little baby sissy. My dad was taking pictures so we didn't take very many I don't have pictures of most of them holding the baby that day but I will try to get them soon :)

Elena Jayne Wilson

Our sweet baby Elena (said "elle-lay-na") was born Sunday November 7th at 2:24 in the afternoon. I was induced starting at 4 am. She weighed 7lbs even and was 20 inches long. She is the smallest of our babies so far and her labor went very smoothly. She has lots of long thick black hair ( this is a first for us too!), as well as very dainty long fingers and toes. What a great addition to our little family she has been, the kids love her so much and have been wonderful helpers!

The Funniest Halloween EVER!

Eva, Nacho-Dave, Prince Gaston Jax at the ward Trunk-or-Treat

Nacho and the nun ( we broke our vows together haha)

The Family

Cute Kiddos ready for the Trunk or treat and then a fun night at old papas annual halloween party.

Everytime I look at the pictures I just laugh and laugh. We had such a great time:) Dave was the hilarious Nacho Libre ( bless his heart! this was the first and most definately last time he's dressed up) I was the nun Incarnacion (from the movie Nacho Libre- only I was pregnant)

Old Town Trick or Treat

We went trick or treating in old town the day before Halloween ( the community puts it on to offer safe day-time fun for the kids) Brandon, Barton, Rachael and their kids came with us. It was fun Dave missed out because he was working. Cinderella-Eva, Prince of Persia- Jax, Fairy- Savanah, Snow White-Lexi and Bart in grey sweatshirt/ camo hat trying to get a picture with all the kiddos together ( no small feat).

Snow White-Lexi and Rach

Eva, Jax, Lexi, Savanah, Tiger-Sharkey, Wolverine-Vercein, and me (the pregnant nun)
The kids were in such a hurry to get more candy they weren't very enthusiastic about stopping all together to get a pic taken-- but believe it or not, they survived and still got tons of goodies!

Awesome 70's style Uncle Brandon and Jax

School Halloween Program

Jaxson as "prince of persia" at his school party. ( they couldn't have any face paint/ toy weapons) Sharkey the nice Tiger and his Buddy Spiderman (Aaron) after Eva's Halloween Program.

Eva's Class. Her Teachers were the three blind mice- they are sooo funny! Eva is fourth from the left on the middle row.

Beautiful princess Cinderella all ready for her first "school Halloween" ( and a funny little tiger tag-a-long roaring in the back ground)

Eva's Class did a cute little halloween progam and Jax was asked to be part of it as a sibling helper because he had her teacher for the last two years (k-1). The kids were darling and Eva loved all the attention, singing and dressing up. (of course) Carter was just so happy that he got to dress up too that he would have gone anywhere/ done anything all day :)

After Eva was done with school we went and helped at Jaxson's class party as well. It was a super busy super fun day at school! After the kids got out of school I took the kids to the "old town" trick-or-treat event with my brother Brandon and Bart and Rach and they're kids. We got tons of candy and the kids loved playing together. I will post some of those pics and the "real" Halloween night photos soon:) We got to double halloween this year how lucky!

PUMPKIN CARVING

This is the "scary pumpkin" that Jax, Daddy and Carter carved. This is the "nice girl pumpkin" that Eva and mommy and Carter carved. (notice the earrings)

Daddy and the Kids

Carter with the "Nice" Pumpkin-- showing the ears/earrings which were totally Eva's idea (of course).

Getting ready to start, waiting for Daddy to come home from work.

The Kids had a blast carving pumpkins this year they each spent several minutes designing on paper what they wanted to do on the pumpkins and then had fun coloring and gutting them. I love Halloween, it's always so FUN! (especially with little kids)

TEETH!

This is after the second tooth fell out :)

This was the first one this week.

Jaxson lost two teeth at school this week. I didn't even know that they were loose! He was pretty excited because he got two dollars from the tooth fairy this week too. He's feeling pretty rich but also pretty toothless, he loves apples and is having a hard time eating them-- even cut up. Funny boy. He is growing up so fast!
