What???

I know, what am I doing updating my blog? It has only been a short 8 months since I have posted something. So hold on tight, you are in for a ride though Wilsonville.

Man, a lot has happened over the last few months, so here we go.

~The last thing that I left you with was that our little monkey broke her arm, after 6 long, smelly weeks the cast came off and Kate was good as new.

~Lee turned 30 this year and had a great birthday. We really enjoy birthdays in our family.

~Lee and I ran our first race together. The Smithfield 5K, and had a blast.

~ I had an awesome 25th birthday this summer and my freaking fantastic husband got me a much needed new camera,(that is why there are no pics for the first few things, but here come the pics.)

~We had a great summer filled with lots of friends~Spending time with family

~A Summer is not complete without a visit to the Cache County Fair~

~Lots of parades and candy~Bear Lake with cousins~Biggest part of the summer was spent putting in our sprinkling system and planting our lawn. Lee and I did it all ourselves and are so proud of what we accomplished.~Next big accomplishment, I ran the Top of Utah Half Marathon with my dad. Loved it. Finished in 2:09. Hope to do it again next year.~Kate got a kittin for her Birthday, She loved it. It later ran away. (Darn:)~And our little Kate bug turned 2 in October. Man we sure love her.~Took a trip to Hogle ZooSupported our Aggie Football, even in the pouring rain~And of course Halloween. Little Minnie Mouse ~Kate rocking this seasons newest fashion.

So we have had a busy summer and fall, but are loved every second of it. Hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving. And while I'm at it I might as well just wish you a Merry Christmas because who knows when I will update this blog again. Thanks for visiting!!!

No more monkeys jumping on the bed!!

One little monkey jumpin on the bed, she fell off and bumped her head~ this is one of Kates favorite books, in fact she likes it so much that she wanted to try it out for herself. On tuesday she had just woke up from a nap and was jumping in her crib just laughing and chattering away. I was on the phone with my sweet friend Lacey (who I am way excited for). I then heard a big THUD then crying, I ran in her room and found her face down on the floor. She cried for a few minutes then stopped, she started playing and I assumed that she was fine. Until I noticed that when she went to crawl or reach for something she would start crying and pull her arm back. I called the doctor and they told me to come in as soon as possible. We went in got x-rays and found out that she had a little fracture just above her left wrist. She was such a trooper. They put a splint on for a few days and she got a cute pink cast on Friday. She has not let this cast slow her down. She is such a good little girl. But April 12th can not come fast enough, it is already starting to stink.Bath time has been a bit challenging. I had to cover it with a towel then taped a walmart bag over it. It kind of ticked her off!!!
This weekend we went on a little get away. It was so nice to get out of the valley and the usual day to day stuff and just relax and hang out. Check out that cute cast.And look at that little cheese ball
My Grandma Potter makes the Best rolls, I can not remember a family party where we didn't have her rolls. She came to my house today and taught me how to make them. I sure love my Grandma and am so glad that she passed this family recipe on to me so I can carry on the legend of Grandma Potters rolls. Thanks again for teaching me. I also have to send a shout out to my Grandpa for hanging around for a few hours while we baked away. He was busy entertaining Kate by taking her on a walk and reading many books to her. He is just so cute with her and she is pretty fond of him too.

The finished product~ and boy were they good.

I hate thinking of a title!

I am really lacking the motivation to update this so called blog. The first reason is that our computer has been having some issues, it will just randomly shut down while I am using it, so I didn't want to deal with that. The second reason is that by the time I can actually blog some of the things we have been up to the events were weeks ago and I figure that nobody cares by then. The last thing I posted was about Christmas so I need to do a little catch up. Kate and I have been passing the winter days outside playing in the snow. She can not get enough of the freezing weather. But she does took super cute in her snow outfit.We have also been to a few Basketball games and she is so good to just sit on our laps and watch the game and the people around her. She does HATE Big Blue. She freaks out any time we way his name.We had a great Valentines day. Lee and I got messages then went to Texas road house for lunch. It was so nice. Lee made me a candy bouquet because he knows how much I LOVE sweets.Mostly we have just been chilling at home praying for the snow to melt. Kate is growing up so fast, she knows all of the animal sounds and they are so cute. We just are loving this stage in life.


Until later. We are hopefully getting our computer fixed soon so I will be able to post more. Enjoy this weather, we sure are.

Christmas '09

Oh my, where has the time gone? I know I have been a slacker when my dad says that I need to update my blog. So here is the update on the Wilson Fam. Lee is staying busy as always just work, work, work. We loved the holidays and the time off. It was awesome to just hang out as a family. There were a few days when we didn't leave the house at all. LOVED IT!!! I loved the Christmas season but I am sure glad to have my house back and not have to worry about Kate taking the ornaments off the tree. We had a great holiday season. Lots of family and friends and time off of work. Here are a few pictures because lets be honest people really only like to look at pictures, right?

Kate loving her Thanksgiving TurkeyAt the Hansen Family Christmas party, And no Kate does not smile for most, if any, pictures.

Listening to Great Grandpa Hansen tell the Christmas story.Kate with her cousin Kennlyn, Aren't they the cutest girls ever???We of course had to get a picture with Santa. Didn't go over to well. Opening presents Christmas morning. She got her first baby doll.I just love this picture!!! Check out that toothy grin. there is a total of 12 pearly whites in there.It isn't Christmas unless you have a Christmas morning bedhead picture.Cuddling with Gramps on Christmas morning.I pulled out Kates Bumbo the other day so I could paint her toe nails, and Kate loves to sit in it. She is so proud of herself when she can get in, but yells for help to get out. The other day I caught her just chilling in her chair reading a book to herself. What a sweetie. And last but not least, my little cowgirl. Don't mind the squinty eyes, she does that because of the flash. Check out those boots.
I hope that you all had a great holiday season. And a Happy New Year!!!
