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!!!

Happy Birthday

Little Miss Kate is now 1!!! Can you believe it? This has been the best year of our lives. She brings us so much joy, we really feel so blessed to have this little girl in our family. Here is the One year update: She is 20 pounds and 31.5 inches long, ( still in the 98% just how we like it). She is walking like crazy, she loves all food~especially treats-aka- num nums. She loves emptying all drawers/baskets, unrolling the toilet paper, being the center of attention, playing peekaboo and she loves reading. And she is obsessed with HORSES, it was the 3rd word she said. She is so stinking funny. I love playing with her all day. She is my little buddy.
Kate had a huge birthday weekend. On Sunday we had a party with 35 of our wonderful family members. Here is Kate with her cousins, playing with the Busy Ball Popper( huge hit)This was one of her favorites, She could have stayed on this horse all night. Look at the sheer joy on that face!!!We had to have a lady bug cake for our cute little Katie Bug~What a sweety, sharing her cake with us.She devoured the cake. I love the frosting in her bangsMy cute little family~On Monday we had some friends over, yep that's right Kate had her first boy/girl party. Kate with her buddys, Thad and Kaitlyn.Kate with all of her new toys. Man she hit the jackpotThis picture sums up the birthday festivities. She Loved It!!!!Since I am horrible at updating we will just make this one gigantic post.
Bath time= Fun for Kate and Mom. Check out this hair. Sexy huh? We took her to her first football game and she loved it. She would clap anytime the crowd cheered. Future Aggie~ Go Aggies!!!!

Here is the update on the house. We finally moved in the beginning of September. WE LOVE IT!! I will take some pictures some time when the house is semi clean.

Kate sure does love her new house, take a look at the smile on that face.

Thanks for enduring through this mass of a post. Hope you have a Happy Halloween. I know we will.

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.
