Little Cowgirl

She is so FREAKIN CUTE!!!!

I am horrible at updating this thing, But here I am over a month later.

Kate has become a little cowgirl over the summer. My next door neighbor has horses and they are right in my backyard. Kate loves to see the horses and she actually says horse. Every time we go outside she gets all excited and says horse, horse. So my woderful neighbor put the saddle on the horse and let her get on. She loved it. But first I have to tell you that my mom pulled out our old rocking horse and Kate went nuts over it. So you will see on the video of her on the real horse she is trying to bounce up and down on it. So funny. We sure love our little Rodeo Queen. Here are the pictures and videos.

Kate and her two new best friends, Greg and Quiggley

Corn, Corn, Corn. We love corn. Kate is now experiencing corn for the first time and is loving it. Those big teeth are becoming quite useful.

Now I am sure some of you are wondering about our house. Well things are really behind. Our builder told us it would be done July 24th, well as you can tell, that date and come and long gone. The house was about two weeks behind, then the bank took about a week, then we had to send it to the Government Rural Housing to get approved and they were extremely behind, so that has taken over two weeks but we did hear from our mortgage lender and he said that rural housing was looking at our loan TODAY!!!!! So it will be soon maybe even this weekend. We are so ready to move in. Hopefully my next post will be from our new house.

The Sweet Summer Time

Oh man this summer is flying by. We have been having so much fun, and have not had time to update, so here we go, hold on tight for a butt load of pictures.

Well first of all I had a great 24th birthday. I worked, went to dinner and came home to brownies and ice cream. Man Birthdays get lame when you get older. But oh well.

Kate has been crawling for the past month and a half. She is cruising along. She is also crawling up the stairs. I am loving all these stages of babyhood. It is so fun to see her learn new things and discover all that she can do. She is loving all food, when ever we sit down at the table she scampers on over to beg some food off of us.

We celebrated the 4th by just lounging around the house, Then watching the fireworks, Kate really liked the fireworks for about 5 minutes then got bored with them.

Last week we went to Lagoon with my family for Aggie Alumni Day. It was so fun. We could only take Kate on about 4 rides but she sure liked those 4 rides. I think that Lee really liked riding the little pony.

After a long day at Lagoon, What a sweety!!
This weekend was the Wilson Family Reunion at Bear Lake. We spent 2 days at the Lake and had a blast. Kate LOVED the water. The water was perfect and the weather was warm.

This is kates new face that she does all the time, we call it "Blue Steel", She is so funny

And here is the update on the house. We Should be done this week. And hopefully we will be moved in this weekend or next. This has been such a fun process, and very scary wondering if all the colors will match and hoping it all comes together okay. But we are so excited about the house and just the fact that it will be ours (in 30 years).

Well hope you are still awake after all of that. We are loving summer and can't believe that july is almost over. Man were does the time go. Hope your summer is great.

Four Weeks Into Building!

Just a month ago we broke ground and now we have something to show for it. We can't believe how fast it is going up. Our builder is amazing. If anyone is thinking about building let us hook you up with our guy. We really really like him.

You can't tell from these pics but there is electrical, some plumbing and ventilation already done. We like going by every few days to see the big changes that have happened. Only about another six weeks and it should be done. Wahoo!

Movin' Right Along

Things are moving so fast. When we told people in April that we were building and that we were goingto start in May and be done the middle/end of July people looked at us like oh yeah, we shall see. Well I almost didn't believe it myself. But things are just cruising. These pictures were taken over the last 2 weeks and just today we went back and now there is a roof and a garage, but I didn't take any pics so they will have to wait. We are surviving at my parents house and just loving this wonderful weather. Enjoy the pictures.

May 30th Crazy how things change


~Until Next Time~

Mission Accomplished

Some big changes have happened with the Wilson Fam. For the last year we have been on a mission to find a house. We were somewhat obsessed with house hunting. We have seen too many houses in this small valley. We had actually put two offers on two houses and got rejected on both. We were getting so tired of this mission until we started tossing around the idea of building a house. We found a great builder and a beautiful lot and we were sold. So it is official we are building a house in Smithfield. We are so excited. So our mission is somewhat complete, I guess it will be official when we move in. But it feels so nice to not worry about the hunting part anymore. One other change is that my wonderful parents were willing to put us up for the next few months until our house is done. We love my parents and it has only been one week but it has been pretty good. I can not tell you how happy we were to get out of our apartment. It got to the point were it felt like the walls were starting to close in on us. What a relief to be done with that chapter of our lives. Here are some pictures of our soon to be casa~
Week One~ May 9th~ our beautiful hole


Week Two~ May 16th

~Update on Miss Kate~Kate is now 7 months old. She is getting very spoiled living with her grandparents, She has people playing with her and smiling at her and making her laugh all the time and she loves it. She has two cute little teeth and she says da da, I don't think that she knows what it means but it makes Lee feel good, so we just pretend. She is so close to crawling and loves standing and walking with help. She loves animals and is loving eating like a big girl. She just amazes us everyday. Lee is such a wonderful dad. He loves to play with his little bug. Happy belated Mothers Day, I was able to celebrate mothers day as an official mom. It was wonderful. I love being a mom, especially to a sweet baby girl. I love my own mom and my grandma and I am so glad that Kate will know her great grandparents.

My sister Maria and Kate. Kate loves to play with her favorite auntie. Thanks Ria for helping us out, you are the best!!!!

My cousin Natalie and her baby Paisley, Don't be confused, we did switch babies.

Life for the Wilson family is wonderful.

PS~ May 20th is our three year Anniversary, can you believe it. I love ya babe.

Vegas Baby

For Lees birthday last week, I surprised him with a little weekend get away to Vegas. I got a great deal on Airfare, and hotel. This was our first time away from Kate. We left Kate with my parents( thanks again) and they were so excited to have her all weekend. It was so hard to leave her we both were crying (more me than Lee) when we handed her off, but she loves her grandparents and I knew she would have so much fun with them.
We left early on Friday morning, we checked into our hotel the Tropicana, then hit the strip. First of all here are the pictures of our classic Las Vegas room, mirrors and all, kind of kinky!!

Yep that's right on the ceiling

Friday was so nice we checked out all the Casinos , came back to our hotel after a while and took a long nap (times like this we were not missing our Katie Bug). After nap time we decided to head to the stratosphere to ride the rides. My dad sold the rides on top so I had been there and rode them many times but this was Lees first time, and he sure did scream like a little girl. But it was so fun. A piece of advice for those going to vegas in their lifetimes, DON'T WALK ALL THE WAY TO THE STRATOSPHERE!!! We thought, oh it is not that far, we can walk it, well an hour and a half later we finally made it and we were exhausted. So just pay the money and ride the bus.

Ya gotta love the M&M Factory

Yes I did gamble, but it was only $1.00

At the Bilogio. My fav casino

On Saturday we slept in until 10am and then hit up the pool. This was one of the highlights of the trip, it was so wonderful to sit in the sun with my headphones in and just relax, not a care in the world. So so nice. Later that night we went to the Excalibur for the mid-evil dinner and show, it was pretty darn fun. Below is a picture of dinner, I had no idea that we would not have any utensils, It was kind of gross tearing into the chicken and eating like a heathen, but it was tasty.By Sunday we were ready to be home and were more than ready to see our baby girl. Over all we had such a great time. It was so wonderful to spend time with just the two of us, sleeping in, playing cards in our room, just walking the strip holding hands. I loved it all.

Happy Birthday Lee. I love you.

I had to add this picture. I gave Kate her first pedicure. It turned our pretty cute. Man I just love my little girl.

Easter and 6 months

I hope that everyone had a Happy Easter. The Wilson Family had a great one. My brother came up from Salt Lake and we spend all weekend together. Lee and Jon went golfing, Lee was so excited he had been waiting for the snow to melt. We ate so much food over the weekend. Sunday we had the Hansen Family egg hunt, Kate was not to fast at gathering the eggs but I helped her and I also helped her eat the candy!! I love my family, I am so greatful that I am so close with my cousins, aunts and uncles, and that we get together often. Here are some pictures: Kate in her new Easter dress with her basket and eggs

My cousin Amie, her baby Kennlyn, Kate and I. I love that Amie and I are the same age and grew up together and now we both have girls that can play together also. They both are just so adorable. They are just 6 weeks apart.

(Kate experiencing her first popcicle, LOVED IT)

Not only was Sunday Easter but it was Kates 6 month mark. It blows my mind that she is that old and she is so big. Where does the time go. She is now sitting up like a champ, rolling over, slobbering up a storm, and melting our hearts every day. She is a good eater and a great sleeper. We are so greatful for her and thank our Father in Heaven every day for her. We love our little Monkey!!
