The Wilson Family

Ever's Birthday in Bear Lake

2011-09-28T11:07:00.000-07:00

We went to Bear Lake in July and it was wonderful!! We had everyone there and all were in good spirits, that's how I like to vacation! We started our trip off right with a HUMUNGUS house all to ourselves with full benefits of the resort just down the road. Our first official outing was a hike to Sunrise Point (I think that's it's name) Can you see the love between Brennen and his uncle Greg? It's a deep love that runs straight to the bone. You see this love all started when we made a trip down to California and Brennen realized he had some common interest with Greg while he (Greg) was sippin on a sprite and all Brennen had and I quote 'dumb water!' Ever and Natalie have had a connection since birth.

Isn't this picture of Ever and Eden funny!! Brennen in heaven in the water, we couldn't keep him out!

The beaches were really gross you had to wade out like 3 feet in goo before you found reasonable water so we bagged it after the first day and played in the pool the rest of the time. Time well spent. My child never smiles!

Ever had a princess party for her birthday. We played draw the nose on Flynn Ryder, pin the kiss on the frog prince, had a tea party.

Ever recieved this sweet carriage from her aunts which they colored themselves! And we had Princess tie dye cupcakes for dessert. Delicious!

She was so hilarious with her presents, she gasped at everything she got. Which was mostly makeup and hair accessories. We of course had to immediately apply said makeup.

We gave her the option of swimming or mini golf, she chose both so we did both!! Hey it's her birthday. As you can tell she would rather sit in a hole in a tree than play golf...

We finished the night off with paper lanterns and had a lighting ceremony on the kitchen floor. (It was too light outside and we had tired children from all the festivities)

The next day me and Ever snuck out real quick and snapped some pictures of her... Too dang cute!! One of the days we went and rented those limo bikes for what we thought would be a leisurely ride around town. My father however being the race enthuisist that he is put childrens lives in danger by jumping the curb and careening down the bank of the road to get past us. Kids were screaming, mom was repremanding, I was laughing cause I was in the other bike.

This picture here is one of DOZENS taken by Natalie and Ever...

Some delicious stops while there, can't go wrong at La Beau's OR the frozen yogurt shop. YUMMY!

Does this picture alarm anyone? Brennen sees this swing starts running for it and guess who shoved him out of the way to get to it first? Natalie! THEN HE PUSHES HER ON IT!! HAHA!!!! I don't think she feels any shame for that either....

Our last stop before leaving was the race carts. They were truely a blast! The owner is super accomodating and nice. Plus they don't rip you off, highly recommend!!!

Once again pops endangers the children. Rule number one of race carts no bumper cars! Especially with children on board. My father NEEDS to win so he rams Natalie with Ever on her lap and they spin out. Nice mohawk man lends a hand, for shame father for shame!!

What trip I wish we had trips like that all the time!! Bear Lake until next time my friend.

Summer Lovin' Had Me A Blast!

2011-09-28T09:48:00.000-07:00

We have been busy busy this past summer as you can tell by my lack of posts. So we are going to catch up! We got a year pass to the dinosaur park and we love going and bringing a lunch. It gets us out and we like to bring us some friends to come along!

We went fishing up in Mantua for an afternoon. You can't swim there unless you want swimmers itch (YUCK!) so we just threw rocks, caught a few 'baby fish' and relaxed! It was nice!!

We had a fun 4th of July. Every year we go up to Huntsville for their big party and this year Kurt and I ran the 10K. Now mind you I had just ran Ragnar like 2 weeks before you wouldn't think this race would've been hard for me but you would be wrong. It was so tough!! Now go ahead and ask me the last time I ran that far since then....ummm I haven't (slacker) These pictures are at my parents house having us some fun with sparklers.

I'm a star! Of course.... And this is Tracy doing using perfect form to execute her move!
~Me and Tracy decided to join forces and made beauty.

~Ever was a little nervous can you tell. She kept saying, 'fire is bad mom!'

We promised the kids a camp out but didn't want to have to go anywhere so we threw the tent up at the cabin and the kids were in HEAVEN!! They seriously asked to go to bed at 8 pm. I told Kurt let's just move their beds to a tent in the backyard. They'd never leave!!

~Natalie went through the temple in July WOOT WOOT! And I we got to go with here because she came here to do it!! It was awesome and even awesomer... Greg forgot church shoes so he wore his vans!!! Oh man I loved it!!!

~Next Ever's birthday so stay tuned....

Misc. Events

2011-07-19T07:19:00.000-07:00

So much has happened this summer so far and I am scrambling to keep up!! So in order from the latest of June to the beginning here is our events. First up Activity Days Camp Kiesel Day Camp! Here are the sweet little thangs! I am over the 8 & 9 year olds so look for the tiniest of the thangs and you have my girls. It's a fun calling. Our boat ride, me and bishop as commander and chief of the boat! Row!! Row!!!
A few of my girls had parents come along for additional parental supervision, thank heavens, I was the only leader there. Anyway officer Linke challenged me to a bb gun shoot off. He claims all the hits were his but we all know my mad skills, right?

Here are our priesthood holders!!! Aren't we lucky??? Jeff Johnson on the left and officer Linke to the right. So much love in the ward.

Father's Day weekend we ran Ragnar with the Wilson side of the family. We rocked it!!! Our team was Canada vs. USA. Can you guess who won the competition? Do you really need to? Here we are on our first break of the race about to go take a nap, we had an all nighter ahead of us.

Here we are at the finish line with the whole team!

Here we are rockin our Tee's. We're proud of ourselves, as always.

Ever has been fighting me about getting ready each day and by fighting me I mean screaming for 45 minutes straight (literally) if I get my way. I am serioulsy worried she has some major rage issues and quite a bit of crazy inside that little body of hers. But this day for some reason she let me without much fuss. Isn't she sweet?!

So tell me friends, how can she go from that^ to this in less than an hour??

Brenn's last day of T-Ball. He loved it!! He was also very good, he could hit into the outfield and throw better than most his team. But I'm not gloating or anything, I speak only the truth.

We went to the zoo at the beginning of June. This summer they have Zoorassic Park, so all over they have life like dinos with noise and all. We went with Barkley and Ange and had a grand ole time. Here is Ever touching the snake first and putting the boys all to shame... They of course had to approach it after her.

I am pretty sure this leopard is wishing she could have Clovi for lunch. Does the look in her eyes give you the willies, like it gave me? She just paced back and forth like this eyeing all the children like a buffet line. They thought it was awesome and screamed whenever she passed by, the moms however, were very grateful that we did not meet this creature in the wild.

This was the only dino Ever would approach because it made no noise. When the T Rex roared she just about peed her pants and jumped 10 feet in the air. Aren't they cute? They had a lot of fun. We need to go again, hooray for half off prices!!! This Raptor shot water out from it's mouth. And the best part, people didn't know this and would be just standing there and BAM soaking wet. Oh man I could've sat there all day watching their faces. The boys wanted to conquer the animal... I think they lost.

Well that's it for now. Next time fishing at Mantua and Bear Lake... Are you excited?

The 2 man, 12 hour (per man) playground

2011-07-08T16:45:00.001-07:00

My dad likes to create projects that require some serious man hours and if you noticed the title of this here post you will see that he out did himself again. I present to you the builders, happy, confident, eager for the challenge.

And here is the building equipment, a builder, and some muscle we had to use from time to time. Tracy Holla!! (This playground seriously had 10 + pounds of screws, bolts, washers, etc.)Is that you pa? Oh no it's just a look alike his name would be PaBrennen

Best. Picture. Ever!

I would now like to present to you the distractors. But you would never guess that now would you? Kah ya right!

Not so confident...

Tricky Maneuvers...

2 1/2 weeks later we conquered the playground. We now can build anything!

Pure Joy

Clovi's 1st Birthday

2011-07-08T16:04:00.001-07:00

So I thought I better keep on top things, and that thought came to me about 3 weeks ago and I am just now doing PART of it. Oh well, on to my babies birthday. The invites! Sorry if you didn't get one, exclusive VIP's only :)

I made these for the party favors...
I decided to forgoe all decorations and just concentrate on lots of yummy food. Our theme you ask, MONKEYS!! Because she is my chunky monkey. We had monkey cupcakes, chunky monkey pie (which it's really called that, it's a peanut butter banana cream pie, and quite delicious!), monkey popsicles, monkey cake pops. Each treat had a monkey label.

I am going to go ahead and say she liked her monkey cupcake!!

Whenever she puts on sunglasses I always yell, Hollywood!! And she just smiles so when Aunt Leah and Uncle Brian gave her these she of course had to immediately put them on!!

And our backyard was filled with present opener assistants. They were also very nice to try out all of Clovi's toys for her first. You know just to make sure they were fun, and they were.

Clovi facts:

She took her first steps 5 days before her birthday, she is currently walking all over my house. She is also my slowest in the walking category. I hold strong to my belief that is because I couldn't put her down because Ever would literally maul her!!

She can say several words (that possibly I am the only one who understands) but here they are. Most importantly mama, dada, pa, maama (this is grandma and it is very different than mama), also ka ka (kitty), da (dog) baba, and very clearly she says no. It comes out in a horrifically loud scream but I am certain that is what she is saying. This happens most often when her sweet sister Ever is near her.

She is the sweetest little girl on the planet. God knew how much I needed a calm, happy, baby and I was lucky enough to get her.

She is very nervous around other people, no matter how hard they try she will not crack a smile and more often than not she does the opposite and sobs hysterically. Uncle Jason can get her to cry faster than anyone, poor guy he just wants to give some love.

She has got a serious Cold Stone Stevens face. She will be great at card games one day.

I'm her favorite. Definately.

Every morning she has to go outside and check on the kittens. She sits there and hollers very loudly at them. So they of course are terrified of her. It doesn't help her version of petting is hitting them on the head or pulling their fur out.

I love this girl and am pretty sure I will be calling her my baby until she pays me to stop!!

As promised...Another post!!

2011-06-02T13:11:00.000-07:00

I have decided that I really need to keep up on this blog. So I scheduled some time in my calendar and made it happen. Here's Brennen in T-Ball. He's really good! He can hit the ball off the tee without knocking it over and actually launches it in the air. Every time after his games he tells me, "I love baseball." He never said that about soccer, rude.

Our niece Jayla turned 3 in May and she had a princess party. All the kids dressed up, so here is Princess Aurora and Cinderella. I did their hair as princess-y as my skills would allow. You can't tell but they were very excited to dress up.

Here is one of the 12 dancing pricesses, again very excited.

And here is their knight in shining armor. He's preparing for battle against Lady Gothel.

We got a pass to the Dinosaur Park this year and the kids were in heaven. I think they are just the right age for the park which is a good thing cause we've got it for a year!

Brennen, his buddy Barkley and Ever. Too funny!

These are our sweet little kittens. It is going to be a very sad day in the Wilson household when they have to go. And this means everyone including mama Snow.

So Clovi turns 1 tomorrow (can't wrap my brain around that without going into serious depression) so I took the kids out for some pictures. It was quite horrendous!! I don't know why I keep forgetting how terrible it is to take all three on my own and expect them to cooperate. Exhibit A: horrendous and hilarious (but only now that I am done is this funny, then not so much).

This is the babers new face and I love it, anything she finds exciting and this is the face she gives. Too Cute!!!

WEBER (stomp, stomp, stomp) WARRIORS (stomp, stomp, stomp)!!!

Ok really, I don't have that much school pride, but I married a man who went to the -F- school.

There's this old building on the way to my inlaws and I thought to myself, 'that could be cute!' and it was except of course Brennen's face.

LOVE. THIS. BABY!!

And tomorrow I no longer have a baby, I have a 1 year old *silent weeping*

I'm back!!! Finally

2011-05-16T08:30:00.000-07:00

Where have I been you ask? Oh you know my computer broke, PC Laptop sucks! And now my computer does too since they've touched it. Lame!! So the last time I posted was in February which is even more lame. But no worries I am back...for now, we'll see what happens next time. So while I was away Clovi turned 9 months. She is now 2 weeks away from 1 but what can you do. Here are the pictures I took for her 9 months...So cute!! Love those ears!

So this spring we had lots of encounters with baby animals... Kurt's uncle Mike gets calfs every year and this is the one that needed a momma's touch. No one could get it to eat and since I was then still a nursing mother I had a few tricks up my sleeve and WALA!! Hungry baby!! My dad got some baby chicks this year and decided to build himself a coop, little did he know it would be called the Taj Mahal of chicken coops....It literally looks like a shed. Anyway I digress. The kids LOVE them. We did have a tragedy though. The nieghbors dog (I won't name names) got into the garage and killed 4 of the chicks!!! MADDY dang dog!! She killed my dads favorite one and it took them well over an hour to find the others that had taken off and hid. Very sad! But they got some more to replace them and all will be well again!! P.S. my cat just had 5 kitten!! Ahhhh no worries I have found good homes for them all and Miss Snow has a future with the doctor soon... I took the kids to the Ogden Temple to take some pictures before the change. I thought it would be neat for them to have a before and after. Apparently all of Weber County thought the same thing cause they were all there!

Do you love Ever's seductive face?

Do you think I could get Ever to look at the camera, ya no.

I promised them if they smiled and were good we would go to Farr's.

I know mother of the year right? I asked the ice cream scooper? to give Clovi the smallest scoop they could and only did sherbet, so no dairy, see it's ok. Anyway being really awesome they charged me full price for a tablespoon of ice cream but she was in HEAVEN. If you even tried to touch it she literally screamed bloody murder!!!

Easter came and as usual the kids were completely spoiled by my parents. I think they get it confused with Christmas, but I'm not complaining happy children equal happy parents. This was the kids when we brought the presents out. Do you think Ever wanted hers? Side note: I actually found some big money eggs this year!! Wahoo I usually suck but I rocked it, my dad helped me BUT there are no rules against cheating!!

Natalie came so we celebrated her birthday. Theme song: Paparazzi by Lady GaGa and we treated Natalie like a SUPERSTAR!! Since she is going to be on Clean House some time this month, not cause she needed the team on Clean House but because she went to a yard sale for the show.

MY GARDEN!! Finally Kurt got me a garden!! Granted my dog ran away and we removed his kennel and built my garden in it's place but you win some you lose some right? He poored the concrete this past weekend and our yard looks so great!! Love it!

Brennen and Ever graduated from their first class of tumbling and they loved it!!! I don't have Ever's pictures yet but will soon and will post them then. This is Brennen doing Shark pose...

His medal of completion. Love LOVE Love Chricia Bailey with Moxie Dance Company, she's right by the old North Pointe Theatres. Try her out!

Brennen did soccer this year and being awesome I was his coach! It caused me a lot of anxiety because that's just who I am and I now feel I did my parental duty and get to just sit on the sidelines and watch from now on. And my dad being awesome was my assistant coach!!

He starts T Ball this week so that should be fun!

Here's some cute pins I made for our moms for Mother's Day. I used felt and fabric buttons for cuter picture and instructions go here. It's a fun site The Fickle Pickle.

And then I made these for my Visiting teaching ladies and all the sisters!! They were so cute, I put ear plugs and candy inside. I also copied this, I'm really good at that. This is from the best site ever!! Our Best Bites.

This however I made up on my own and loved it!! Me and a friend started up this group and everything month we get together and do whatever, who is in charge, wants. I started it and we did these fabric necklaces and these other necklaces which are plastics we melted onto metal washers. Go here to see (thediydish.com). I made so many variations of the necklace below and they all turned out adorable!! If you're jealous (my five readers) I can totally tell you how or you can come over and we'll do it together!! Just cause I am so awesome!

Deep breathe....awww I'm done.

Californ-i-a

2011-02-18T18:15:00.001-08:00

So we decided to drive to California for my great grandma Venna's 100th birthday. And when I say we, I mean me, because I couldn't afford to go with my kids any other way. So with the money we saved I bought the kids a dvd player for the car and it was well worth it. This is Ever watching a movie and consuming a chocolate doughnut. Life is good. Brenn wasn't ready for this snapshot, but funny none-the-less. These kids did awesome, Clovi was the best one!
This is a couple hours into the trip, I gave Miss Ever a notebook that had the alphabet in stickers when I turned around this is what I found... Oh she is a crack up. Taking the stickers off was not.
We arrived at CA around 4 and Greg said if we hurried we could make it to the beach for the sunset. Unfortunately we didn't establish what to do at a yellow light and we lost Greg at a stoplight and missed the sunset. But we arrived for this... Beautiful. This was my kids first time ever seeing the ocean. Brennen is the one with the green glow stick.
The next day we headed off to Legoland, that place is huge! We didn't even see a 1/3 of it I bet. The kids were at the perfect age, that whole place is centered around them. Here they are with a few thousand legos and bit of creativity... Sweet!
This ride was so funny, Brennen was squealing so loud he was all you could hear. They loved this ride.

This was Clovi just hanging out being a good girl. Babies are an odd commodity in CA we got stopped constantly our whole trip; people wanting to take pictures of her, telling us she should be the next e trade baby, and staring at her. I must admit I don't blame them I have a very cute baby but I don't get stopped that much here... Sheesh I should go there more often.

Right next to Legoland is an aquarium it kinda reminded me of the one here in Salt Lake. Plus if you already had tickets to Legoland you could get in for only $12 and seeing as Sea World was $60 each for the kids and $70 for us we opted with this place and it didn't disappoint. The kids just stared in awe at all the sharks and other large fish. Very cool, I do recommend!

They had this huge shark tank with all kinds of fish beside sharks and like 10 different places to look, inside they had lego scubadivers and submarines made by legos it was really cool.

After Legoland and the aquarium we went to Greg & Natalie's condo down onto the beach and made the sunset.

Even Clovi loved the beach. She just kept curling her toes and grabbing handfuls to try and eat.

We couldn't not get Brennen out of the ocean, this picture doesn't show it but it's windy and cold! Pure joy!

And then something amazing happened DOLPHINS!! That's right folks 2 dolphins started to play in the surf. It was amazing, can you see it's fin, kinda looks like a shark but it's a friendly dolphin.

On Valentine's Day my great grandma Venna turned 100 she's the lovely lady in the middle. We were able to get a 5 generation picture which is pretty dang neat, that doesn't happen often. It's crazy to think that in this picture she is 100 years older than little Clovi. Can you see Clove eyeing grandma Venna's hair? Yeah she tried pulling it several times,little stinker. Can you imagine my fragile grandma getting a yank from her, that girls got a grip!!

We also got a picture with my daughters name sake, Maclovia. I truly love this woman! She is so amazing by every sense of the word. This trip however really made me realize how old my grandma is getting. I hate that she lives so far away and that she is now getting to old to remember my children or even me. She kissed Clovi everytime she saw her and Clovi didn't even mind I think she knew how special her great grandma is.

The next day we went to La Jolla Beach and it's not pronounce jolly, it's spanish. I learned the hard way and was made fun of and yes I am of mexican decent!! Here I am looking longingly into the ocean... Just kidding I'm looking for sharks!!! Twice a year leopard sharks fill this bay to mate and then this is where their young hatch. Every time the surf came in you could see these 4-6 foot sharks swimming. It was so cool!!

Ever loved the beach, there were tiny sea shells all over the sand and Ever made it her job to collect them all. She was in heaven she would just run and laugh. This girl was in her element! No one telling her to stop acting crazy or to quit being naughty. She just ran free!!! She would just look up at me and laugh, this trip made me realize we need an ocean in Utah.

We had only one incident, Brennen got in a fight with coral and it got the best of him and his toe. It was very dramatic he walked around with a limp the rest of the trip.

Clovi also loved the beach she just sat in the shade watching the waves and squealing. SO CUTE!!

And now for the greatest moment thus far of the trip!! Now all of you need to know something about me if you don't already. The words Marcia and the ocean never go in the same sentence unless of course it's, Marcia doesn't do the ocean. And even more importantly, Marcia and shark do not go together even remotely unless shark is followed by week and it's on the discovery channel. So here it goes, brace yourself. Marcia got into the ocean with sharks!!! That's right folks sharks swam at my feet and I only hyperventilated once maybe twice. When I told this to Kurt he didn't believe me. But for those of you still reading, here's the story...

We were going to rent kayaks with Natalie as our guide but unfortunately Natalie contracted the flu and was lying on a towel on the beach wanting to die. So we just walked around and let the kids play in the water. My dad decided to walk out into the water to see if the sharks were as close as they looked in the surf. I was talking to Natalie and turned around to see my dad with his shorts hiked up as high as they would go running from the surf, so funny!!! He comes and tells us the sharks are right there and we can come out and they would be at our feet. I decided I was a brave and adventurous individual and went with my dad. I got out to water up to my thigh and BAM they are all over. That was my first panic attack my dad tells me to be quiet cause I was scaring them away so I concentrated on my breathing and held very still. My second panic attack came when my dad said, "Marcia get your camera out and don't scream, there's one on your right." I look to my right and down, a shark is at my feet. I then hyperventilated while my dad said, "Take a picture Marcia!" This is what I got before I hauled my keester out of the water. This is that picture. No zoom, just a straight down shot of that baby.

My dad then confiscated my camera and after I got the nerve to go back out, we headed off with Brennen on my dads shoulders and Ever on mine. We saw so many it was unbelievable! Ever kept yelling look mom a mommy shark and a daddy one!! This also is no zoom, they were right there! The surf was so big it about toppled me and Ever over so we decided we couldn't get any better than that and we headed off.

So in one trip we saw dolphins and sharks in their natural habitat!! So cool.

We attempted to go to the San Diego temple this is not a picture at night this is at 5:30 in the morning in the rain. We got all ready and found out the hours were wrong online and they didn't open until 8...bummer. We had to leave that day. So to you San Diego Temple, I love to see the temple I'll go inside someday~

And on our drive home the universe confirmed the awesomeness of our trip with a rainbow. It meant I am supposed to go back every year. Kurt just needs the same sign apparently, so I will patiently wait for him to get it.

Thank you Thank you Natalie and Greg! You Rock!!

Much Love, Peace and Blessings!

Happy Valentine's Day

2011-02-05T12:27:00.000-08:00

Our going ons... from awhile ago!

2010-12-25T21:14:00.000-08:00

We've got a bit to cover and I don't even have Christmas on here. But here we go! Hold on folks you're in for a lengthy ride. First up, school pictures for Brennen's Preschool.

Clovers even got in on the action!

My mom had this gorgeous bush outside so I thought I would get a snap shot of the chicklets together.

B had a trunk or treat for his preschool this was the kids costumes that night.

Our 4th annual Hoopla I was a pea pod and Clovi was the pea. Another great year in the costume department! Now don't you worry I won best group costume contest!

Megatron, Optimus and Sam Wittwiki a.k.a. lame man who says he's dressing up, when really let's face, it he's not! But Brennen believed it and that's all tha matters. P.S. Kurt and I are the artists behind Megatron and we may have gotten a bit high on marker fumes doing it.

The cute babes in shirts my mom found for them!

This is the awesome flag I painted for our YW in Excellence Program! I am a high class decorator that get's hired out but in this case just magnifying my calling!

The stationed I set up for our Olympic games!

This is the estate where Natalie and Greg got married... Do you recognize it? Hawaii 5-0 fans this is Steve McGarrett's home!!! SAWEET!!

My first time stepping into that cool Hawaiian water... AHHHHH

The bed Steve McGarrett had a love seen in... Are you worried about me yet??

Two beach lactating mama's. Me and Christy had to pump our entire trip, which was NOT fun. So everyone called us the lactators! Rude... I know! So we called them the lact-haters. We of course had to stick together!

I got back to horribly cold weather and so we started a fire and naturally roasted us some mallows and made smores!

The next morning it snowed and Brennen wanted to shovel so bad but the snow wasn't sticking to the driveway so we sent him out back and put him and Ever to work on the patio.

Wilson family kid party! We decided not to do presents this year and just have a party with tons of games, projects, stories, and songs! SO FUN!! Here is the gingerbread houses!

It was snowing....cottonballs!

They had a relay to fill the jar and then turn him into a snowman.

Now folks don't you fret part duex will be here soon. You just stay tuned. Peace and Blessings!

2010-11-03T12:32:00.000-07:00

My sister-in-law Stephanie has a very talented group of friends and 2 of them took these pictures. SO DANG CUTE!!!!

Where have we been?

2010-10-18T17:51:00.000-07:00

Ok so I know I posted about Bear Lake this summer but these little jewels crack me up!

Aunt Jilene getting some Bear Lake z's

Ever found my shoes and decided they would be hers for the day

My Brenn started preschool!!! Ahh way to big..

He also became a soccer star... and me his coach!

Say hello to my orange Tiger

These are my cupboards before I started the monumental task of painting them...

Marie putting her back into it... We couldn't get this one out. Yeah she's my muscle....

After the first half is done, and yes that is still how it looks half way done. This weekend people it will be finished, I had to recover from that first half, my house is still trying to recover.

My mom has the prettiest orange bush and I had to take my kids pictures. They are so cute I could just squeeze them to death!

Bennet and Jaxton even got in on the pretty!

Sweet Clovi

2010-08-19T22:18:00.000-07:00

All smiles

Herniated belly button, it sticks straight out! The doctor says once her stomach muscles join back together it will go down, but right now she reminds me of the cabbage patch babies when they had the outy buttons

She's my little monkey baby. She's got these big round adorable eyes that remind us of an orangutan baby. That is meant in the cutest way possible I might add.

The thought of her moving out of the bassinet into the crib makes me want to cry! And that is very soon.

She knows when I am in the room.

She can't make me mad which is bad for the other two because they always do.

Loves LOVES the swing, she could swing all day and you could almost forget she's there, so quiet and happy in that thing.

Loves when you sing to her, my specialty, you are my sunshine. I think she tries to sing back because that's when you get her to coo the most.

Has major anxiety when her sister comes near and for good reason she shoves her fingers down her throat to let me know she's hungry, made a running leap onto her belly, constantly pokes her in the face. I think one day she will love her.

Her Brenn can always make her smile, but not like her momma. I'm her favorite for sure. She cries when daddy holds her after work cause he smells bad, at least that's why mom says she does.

Ever Monster

I got such a hard time from so many people when I told them what I was going to name her. They all thought it was a weird name, and then a couple of weeks ago Kurt was listening to the radio and they were giving a list of the top 20 non tradtional names in the US this year. Number 19 was Ever and number 20 was Everly. So apparently I am not as original as I thought and HA to all the nay sayers!!

As you can plainly see there are many faces to my crazy girl. And she pulls them all the time! Her current favorite is rolling her eyes at you when she is annoyed which actually looks like she is going cross eyed but then she glares and you get the picture.

Some of her favorite songs include, the itsy bitsy spider, rock a babe yeah! (Rock a bye baby), slippery fish, ABC's (and she actually knows the whole thing), I am a pizza!

She can count to ten perfectly every time and Brenn gets to 5, gives up and says 10!

Trace super hot!

She is such a little mime and copies everything we do or say. So you know nice things like shut up and punch you in the face (thank you Tyson and Tracy).

All the princesses have been combined into one word, and it took me only 2 weeks to figure out what the heck she was saying, Prince a rella ella!

All her 'e' sounds come out as yeahs, dadyeah, Cloyeah etc. except for horsey, that comes out just fine. Have I ever mentioned she loves horseys???

Every sentence ends in 'K' for example, I play with my horsey k mom? I thought she was so funny until I noticed how I talked to her and all MY sentences end with 'k'. For example, Ever don't do that ok? Come over here and clean up your mess k... My little mime!
Any question you ask her is answered with cause, 'Ever what are you doing? "Cause"' Ummm ok...

I still hold firm to her craziness. Everything is over the top for her, her emotions, her climbing skills (found her climbing onto my refridgerator), and her temper. Sheesh look out.

She loves to give loves! Poor Clovi gets mauled on a daily basis and I literally have to pry her off of my baby and poor me when she crawls into bed at night she has to touch me with boths hands. One of the face the other on the neck .

She is very sweet, she wants you so bad to just say good job Ever and when you do she lights up and says it back to herself in a super high voice. It is so funny especially since right now she is getting potty trained and so when she goes I get so excited and congratulate her and she immediately proceeds to congratulate herself. Sounds like me, she must be my daughter! We aren't affraid to admit we are awesome.

My Brenn

2010-08-19T22:14:00.000-07:00

These are some of my favorites pictures and things about my boy! It was so fun to look through all these pictures when I decided to do a post on each of my kids. It took me forever to decide on what pictures I wanted on here we literally have so many of him. I forgot how much I loved this guy. We had Ever so fast and then Clovi you have to spread your love around, but for a year and a half I just had him and he was my life. I almost miss the simplicity of that even though I love our little family. So here are my favorite pictures and current conversations and attitudes of our little man who by the way starts preschool in two weeks.

"Mom I want a hotdog for lunch, let's go to Home Depot."

"Mom will you come push play on my movie for me?

Brenn you know how, you do it.

I can't push anymore buttons, my finger has a finger belly ache."

"Come here little fella" referring to his father

If you do something he likes or tell him yes it's always followed by 'You're the best mom!'

"Brenn you can't have that, it's just for babies.

When I'm a baby can I have it?

You'll never be a baby again, you'll just keep getting big.

What about when I'm a girl?

You'll never be a girl just a boy who keeps getting big.

What?!"

"Brenn go get me a plastic bag for the diapers please.

Why do I have to do that all the day?

That's your job.

What's yours?"

Brennen has always been such a good boy. I think I take for granted how much of a help he is to me. He's my diaper getter, treat grabber, and time out guard. He somehow thinks he is in charge of the home, which when I want to be in charge, I get frustrated but when I am up feeding Clovi or getting something done I love that I know he'll come get me if something is wrong and will keep Ever from getting hurt.

He loves to tattle which I can't decide how I feel about it because on one hand it's very annoying but on the other at least he comes and gets me instead of taking matters into his own hands which ends in fist fights and lots of screaming.

He loves to talk and I believe likes the sound of his own voice because sometimes he says the same thing over and over and over or just makes funny noises really loud.

He has the most active imagination, one time while he was in the tub I was folding laundry and could hear him saying the funniest things so I walked in to see what he was doing and he was playing Transformers (of course) with a comb! That's it, one comb! He always tells me he's just pretending, I love that he can play for hours completely entertained by just the things around him. But, if I'm not careful he would become a couch potatoe so we have to limit his TV time. But oh what a great babysitter that is sometimes.

He can be quite the little liar, everything is Ever's fault which I actually don't doubt but some of his stories are a little far fetched for even me. For example, he kept having accidents and I was getting so frustrated with him. We were at Marie's and he had another one and comes up to me and says, "Mom my underwear is wet, Ever came right up to me and peed in it." I was laughing so hard I had a hard time getting mad. He is so sweet with his sisters, very caring about their safety and if they are happy. He's just a sweet boy every morning he always asks, "How was your sleep tonight mom?" And he sits and actually waits for my answer. We love this kid!

Let's update

2010-08-16T08:57:00.000-07:00

We've been pretty busy this past month and a half so prepare yourselves for a picture overload. I've decided to print each year out in a book like my journal so sorry for the overload of detail that's just for me.

My dear friend Ashley bought me these outfits for the girls when Clo was born and they now fit. Do you love the picture? This was the best one!

Natalie came up at the end of July from California and I asked if her and Greg (her main squeeze) would run the Harrisville 5k with me to take my mind of my misery since I just started back up since Clo was born. And from there we collected quite the crowd. Here we all are. Ever and Eden even asked to join us. Little did we know Eden would unleash the devil within and make Marie run and carry her part of the way. But who am I kidding I was grateful for it because my uterus was screaming obscenities at me after mile one! This last pregnancy has been super hard on my body and I'm finding it harder to lose the weight. Meh

After the 5k was the parade and we found ourselves a prime position and got a butt load of candy. I kid you not a full grocery bag full. Greg was apparently deprived as a child and now hoards the candy when he sees it! Holla Greg!! This is his pure joy face with sugar!

The next day was Clovi's blessing! Here are the babes during the beautification process.

Here's my sweet girl! So pretty in her dress. It turned out so nice Kurt did a great job. He said the whole time during the blessing Clovi just stared at him and smiled. I think she knew how lucky she was.

My cute kids

Apparently family pictures are going to turn out like this from now on! Look at Brennen! He kills me...

All the Hutchison girls

The whole family. We were excited everyone is in here.

The cute couple. P.S. We love Greg, he fits in quite nicely even bought the family a gift.. I know right? Already figured out our love for gifts. It was a plaque that said,

The Hutchison Family

We are awesome!

Love it!! Hung it up immediately

B and E took swimming lessons and it was hilarious. Brennen had his own class and I was in the class with Ever. The water was shockingly cold every morning and so Ever was a turd. Anytime you asked her to do something her answer was always the same, 'No way!' And you of course could hear it across the pool, all volume that girl, volume and attitude!

We went to Bear Lake for the day during Raspberry Days and spent the day at the beach.

Here is Clovi, the wind was blowing and it unfortunately ruined her sun bathing.

The kids loved playing on the beach, we made sand castle's...

danced, dumped sand all over us...

and buried Brennen! Then best of all got us some Raspberry shakes and fries. Perfect little trip.

Here's the babe. We love her!! So sweet and calm, she makes us smile everyday.

Clovi at 2 months

The great outdoors!

2010-07-26T17:30:00.000-07:00

We went camping this weekend to our usual spot Little Lyman Lake. Here's the boys on the canoes.

This is the result of said canoe trip. A fish! Can you see the pride in that cute face!!

Me and Ever enjoyed a few four wheeler trips while out, she loves them so while the boys fished we rode! My cousins Erica and Katy took this picture and later that day Katy rolled my four wheeler, thank heavens she was ok. Both Katy and my bumblebee sustained a few injuries but nothing a little TLC can't fix. They now are considered hard core, which is a big deal in my family.

Lydia and Ever getting along! They were so funny either fighting or hugging!

The Clovesters

Before camping we went to the lake to swim. This is me and Clove, she's the red

A little Karate Kid anyone?

Pure joy people, pure joy!

We had so much fun we went back the next day to canoe, this is Ever sleeping!! Oh too funny!

Peace out!

2, 6 weeks, and horsies!

2010-07-16T20:49:00.000-07:00

Ever turned two this week and in Hutchison fashion we threw a party! Can you guess what the theme was? That's right people my daughters first love, horsies!

Here's the babe all ready on her birthday for a special day with her pa! He took her swimming just the two of them, I think we will have to make this a tradition. When she came home she found this...

...and this. There was a lot more but it was on the windows and hanging down and you couldn't really get it on camera just imagine the horses everywhere.

The presents were also themed horses by no plan of mine. Thank you Aunt Marie for this one she still keeps riding it. She also received a horse blanket, horse dress, stick horse, horse stamps...

...and horse cupcakes! These blasted things caused me to throw a tantrum, say a few choice words, make my son cry, and send myself to timeout. Hello Cupcake curse you for saying to put two wafer cookies together when you OBVIOUSLY don't need too! Hence the fat necked horses, which caused them to be of course top heavy so we had to use a cookie sheet to hold up their fat heads! Curses!! Oh and sorry about the boobage, I'm nursing it can't be helped.

She also got a bike from her mom and dad (we're so nice). This thing rocks, Marie was totally jealous, I think she wants one for herself.

We also gave Brennen his bike early for his birthday. We figured if we waited until Sept. he wouldn't have a lot of time to ride it. We're a little late in the bike department. We've got kids in our neighborhood, his age, learning to ride without training wheels and we're just barely giving him a bike. Oops! This was his face when we brought it out. In our defense, he has a scooter and a trike thingy.

And let's not forget Miss Clove, she turned six weeks on Thursday. Holy cow! 3 kids, extremely traumatizing for me and my husband but she's a doll!! Speaking of husband is she not the girl version of him? If you're not sure take my word for it. She is!

Here's my latest project, it's for my sister Christy's awesome mother-in-law who made Clovi a super cute blanket. So I thought I would make her a gift to say thank you since I sorta coersed her into making the blanket in the first place.

Sidenote: for those of you who read mine and my sister Marie's blog I totally wrote this and after publishing saw hers and then proceeded to steal pictures from hers cause they were better. Goes to show the validity of my statements and the fact that we are of one mind!

Pictures of the babe!

2010-06-21T13:01:00.000-07:00

Too too cute!

Miss Clovi Ann

2010-06-09T14:50:00.000-07:00

So here she is! Thank you Marie for taking over in the begining. I picked Clovi because it's part of my grandma Maclovia's name whom I adore. She's a sweet little girl and sleeps alot which is nice plus she's out of my belly!!

She's Here!

2010-06-03T16:57:00.001-07:00

Hello All!

This is Auntie Marie taking over for Marcia to update you all on Miss Clovi. She's here and doing great. So until I get up there and get some pictures for myself the cell phone pictures will have to do for now.

Marcia went to the hospital this morning at 7am to get induced. It was slow going at first. Kurt thought she's be here by noon but Marcia just laughed at him. I got a txt from Kurt around 3:40pm saying it took Marcia 2 pushes and she was here. So without futher adieu...

Clovi Ann Wilson

06.03.2010

3:32pm

6lbs 14oz 19 1/2 in

A quick post before the baby!

2010-06-01T12:12:00.000-07:00

So these are completely out of order but who are we kidding I'm not spending the time to fix them I'm just glad I made it to the computer to even blog!

Kurt took Brennen four wheeling and of course poor little Ever was left out so we had a mommy daughter day and I took her to this petting zoo in Eden. She LOVED it!!

Here she is feeding the goats! She got pretty good I thought she would be scared but after a couple of tries she was a little pro.

The most important event of the outing was the horsey ride! And no people that is not a caveman walking beside my daughter, it is my brother Tyson who is going for a more rugged look apparently... He was my muscle for the outing since I am huge with child.

Here she is lovin on the horsey. Everything was a horse, the donkeys, cows, goats... you name it she was convinced she was with a horse.

On Sunday my house turned to the old west and a gun fight ensued, here are my children packin heat waiting to attack their dad and get em dead!

We got kittens! Why would you do that when you are about to have a baby you ask? Because I'm crazy and they were free! My children love them. The kittens actually run in horror when they see Ever and for good reason, she picks them up by their little throats and carries them everywhere. We're working on it, pray for these little ones. OH their names: The gray is Sapphire (named by Brennen after a dragon in a story I made up once) and the black is Shade, thank you Tracy! They are outside cats who currently reside in the garage until they get bigger, took to a litter box right away thank heavens! Oh and on a sad note our dog ran away, I like to think that he's enjoying life free since we can't find him...

This is Brennen's massive skull injury he decided to climb up on top of my parents picnic table outside and instead of climbing back down to just fall on his head, on the cement. Now my son has a pretty large forehead so you can imagine the size of this bugger. He's smiling only because a camera is on moments before and after this picture were taken was lots of tears and whining. Even hours later. Poor guy

Ahhhh all better, band aids cure all. Look at the size of it though... again large ouchie

This is how I frequently find my daughter, waiting to get her bum changed. Now if she could just sit on a potty she could read all the books she wants on there. Here's hoping the next few weeks we don't digress from our potty training progress.

Here we are at the hospital when our little nephew Jaxton was born we decided to have a little fun with the statues and camera, we had to wait awhile to meet him...

And here's the little tyke at on his birthday, but now he's already a month old. Go ahead and ask me how many times I've seen him since this day??? 3!! That's right people 3 times and he lives 15 minutes away lame!! Lame!

Latest Projects

2010-04-17T15:09:00.000-07:00

These are a few random pictures but awesome all the same!

Here you have Ever practicing up for when the baby comes. She got a diaper changing set from the Easter bunny. Do you love her morning due and startled expression?

Brennen of course got Transformers for Easter, he's just a bit obsessed!

A week or so ago the Chicklets decided to have a naptime sleepover, this is how I found them about an hour after I put them down. There was a lot of screaming and laughing.

Here are my latest projects, I have been watcing the GTU and Studio 5 during their craft sections and found this fabulous site called prudent baby and went to to town.
Are you preparing for the baby you ask? No, no I am not!

The bags were made by the fault of my sister. She asked to be taken to the adorable little fabric store by my house so I went along, $20 later and one bag pattern we made these. I of course had to make one for the girl. very cute.

Happy Easter!

2010-04-02T17:10:00.000-07:00

After a bit of photoshop...

All in a days work!

2010-03-26T20:38:00.000-07:00

Tie Dye Cupcakes!! How cool are they?! I saw them on Studio 5 and just had to make them and who better to make them for than my sister in California with a birthday. My nephew shares this day so he of course got some too! Any excuse to make something awesome.

This is what you see when you bite into that bad boy!!

The most alarming picture of me and Tracy waiting for the cupcakes to cool. I learned this from my YW, yeah that's right I'm that mature. Oh the laughter these pictures caused!!

Our photoshoots with the chicklets are always so successful, can you tell?
The preggers sisters!! How cute are we?!

the update of all updates...

2010-03-17T12:44:00.000-07:00

How cute is my little Bren's face?! Ever on the other hand was having nothing to do with my photoshoot, I had to bribe her with a popsiscle just to stand there.

NOW on to business, many a things have happened since I last really blogged so you may be overloaded with pictures of the chillins' I apologize upfront.

We have been trying and trying to get Bren to sleep in his bed by himself for so long now, I blame Kurt if you must know. He just 'had' to rock him every night and fall asleep while reading a story, so NOW my little man doesn't know what it's like to sleep by himself.

To the picture, we tried to bribe him with a toy to sleep by himself and this is how I found him, with said toy, watching a movie. If you look closely his ears are folded down! Ha so funny. How did our bribe go do you ask? Well my son currently beds down on our floor with a blanket and pillow. Ugh.

Ever on the other had got herself a big girl bed around the same time. I love free stuff. Bed from the parentals, comforter from my old bed set as a youth complete with a Ragedy An and Andy doll my mother made me. And how does she do? Sleeps like a champ, PLUS I don't have to go get her out of her crib anymore she just walks right on in to my room. I'm pregnant not lazy.. well maybe a little lazy.

This picture is a crack up, we started going to the library on Thursdays for discovery time and they have this huge horse that sits on top of the bookshelf along with a heap of other larger than life animals. Well I've told you my daughters love of horses so we of course had to get it down. Well while Ever was loving the horse it fell right on top of her, he didn't stand to well. So this is her and Bren trying to right that poor stead. Look at their faces!!! 'Heave Ho, Heave Ho!!!'
(side note: they never got it back up)

Ever grooming her stallion.

The past week has been quite a challenge for me and my patience, Ever had a fever for four days straight and was completely miserable. I couldn't leave her side or even put her down or she would just sob. Well I had to make dinner and so Ever had to wait to be held and she fell asleep at my feet on the tile floor. Poor thing, found out she had a double ear infection!! I would be a monster too...

Day after meds...She was back to her usual tactics and got herself put into TIME OUT! She cried for her blanky and so being the mature mother I am I put it over her head and she actually sat like this for her full minute and a half in time out... I am currently laughing if you must know. I find it very funny. Don't you?

Sweet little Josey has come back to the chaos called our home since her little sister Maizie was born. These girls love to be with each other! Look how big they are? I can't believe it.

Living Planet Aquarium

We were being sharks!

Pa and Grandma said they could pick out one toy and Ever could not decide, so how does she solve her dillema? She just takes them all! Smart girl.

I made Brennen some new ties. Very cute! You are jealous aren't you?

In closing... the many faces of Ever. I know you've seen the first one, but have you seen the others she frequently makes. She's one funny girl.

I am smiling mom!

Say what?

And there you have it, our life is now update for your viewing pleasure. if my record holds strong you will hear from me in another couple of weeks. So until then my friends...

Party Anyone?

2010-03-05T13:02:00.000-08:00

Wise Food Storage

So my dear neighbor Dan, whom I love, has started a new businessventure. It is with this company Wise Food Storage. So he asked me if I would be willing to have a little get together to sample the food and see what it's all about. And I of course said yes cause he makes me cupcakes and tomales plus I went to his house and sampled some of it myself and it was really good!!

So I am having a party at my mom's house (right by Weber High) Saturday March 13th at 3 pm and would love for you guys to join me. Dan is going to whip up some of this food for us to try and give us some info, and in the end if you would like to buy some great but if not come and eat anyway. It's really quite the deal you get to eat good food, spend time with me and my awesome family, and chat! What could be better.

Here's the website if you want to check it out a little more.

A little that I know about it is it's freeze dried food, kinda like Mountain House but better, of course, it's gourmet. One bucket would feed an adult for one month. Some of the food includes, cheesy macaroni, creamy chicken pasta (had this one YUM! Me and Tracy gobbled it right up), cheesy lasagna, chicken teriyaki, blueberry pancakes, honey glazed granola, and brown sugar oatmeal to name just a few. The pricing is $1.75 per serving.

Me and Kurt are getting a bucket for food storage but also for camping or lazy days when I don't want to cook. All you do is add boiling water to the bags and voila!! Instant meal. I totally sound like a saleswoman but Dan doesn't just turn from neighbor to salesman himself unless it's something worth going into.

So there you have it if you would like to come or are interested in more info leave a comment and I can get you what you need. Peace out!

More Stolen Pictures...

2010-02-22T09:41:00.000-08:00

Natalie was in town and we went to Fat Cats to play, luck had it that Wahlquist Jr. High was there was well. What a mess! But the chicklets could've cared less. Thank heaven my family takes pictures or else in ten years I wouldn't know what my kids looked like at 3 and 1.

This is B on a motorcycle game, Tyson was a good uncle and manuevered the motorcycle for him he just enjoyed the ride.

So of course Bennett and Ever wanted to join the fun.

Ever makes this face on command, isn't she sweet? Child actor? I think so... we're working on crying on command as well. I am pretty sure she dang well has it.

Ok this picture just makes me laugh, if you could explain my nephew in only one picture this would be it!!

What's new and not so new

2010-02-18T13:13:00.000-08:00

So I am a major slacker in the blogging world. I feel like all I do is sleep, but in my defense I am growing limbs and such right inside me!! Started going to the gym again. FINALLY! Can barely walk but feelin good. After the first day I realized I could've gone much earlier but chalk it all up to pure laziness. MEH. I totally stole these pictures from my sister's blog and wanted to reiterate that my daughter is crazy! And her object of affection poor little Eden.

The Ever so famous love hold, we don't choke...
Mind you that Ever's hair had to be remastered several times by this point. I do groom my child but she rips it out faster than I can control it, it was very cute that day.

Eden has started crying when she sees Miss Ever walk into the room, it's very sad because all she wants to do is give a little love. Soft is not a word she understands yet. I fear for June...

2010-01-27T13:53:00.000-08:00

Do you think my next daughter will be as lucky as Ever and look like her mommy???

I hope so!!

It's a Girl!!

2010-01-13T13:20:00.000-08:00

This announcement has been a long time coming but I am just now coming to terms with our little surprise so please forgive!! I am almost 20 weeks and finally starting to feel human again. She will be born in June and we have yet to figure out a name, so Michelle Ulm if you are out there I need your assistance. I love all your childrens names, can I just steal one???

Baby Wilson

2010-01-02T16:52:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year!! Here's our christmas fun.

We decided it would be fun to go cut down a tree this year so here is the one we picked, don't look at my face I was blinded by the sun..

Here are the kids in their Christmas Eve jammies and our pretty tree. Ever thought the bulbs on on the tree were bouncy balls... such a treat.

Here is the before picture, Santa was very good to my children

After...ugh what a mess!

Two main things you all need to know about Ever. She has a deep obsessive love for babies and horses. She was one happy girl this year. The second she saw this horse all other presents had to be opened atop of it.

This is us at the Wilson family present opening and the trucks Brennen got. He was very spoiled this year, me and Kurt wonder why even buy them gifts. They get so much stuff from the family...

This is the stinkin cute bunk bed Aunt Steph made for Ever and her many babies. How talented is she?? Josey wished it was hers, lucky for her she's at my house every week!!

One of the many projects I for some reason had the desire to make, turned out cute huh?

That's it for now! We didn't take any pictures on New Years but we had a good time. Life has been good to us this year especially the food. I say this as I look down and watch my belly gain it's own orbit in the atmosphere!!

Hutchison Cousins Photoshoot

2009-12-15T11:49:00.000-08:00

So we decided to get some pictures of the grandkids, so I set up a makeshift studio at my house we wanted to save on some dough. I wish we would've had better lighting but whatev, I still think they turned out cute and with a little work from my friend Photoshop I think we can make it adorable!

Here is Brennen wanting his picture taken with his sword, and not ready at all for the pictures. BOYS!!!

This is my favorite group one, Bennett had to hold a spray bottle in his hand or he would freak out but I was able to blur it out. I need to take some classes or something on how to position the children this was the best Christy, Marie, and Me could come up with seeing as we needed to prop up Eden. I'm working on it.

Ever as usual loved Eden to death and wanted to kiss and hug her the whole time so we of course had to get some of the girls. The bottom one cracks me up you know poor Eden is thinking, 'Just give me my dang binki!!' Oh my little helper.

Isn't she just sweet!!!

Some family snapshots

2009-11-23T14:58:00.000-08:00

So this year, like most, we are a little low on funds and when I wanted to get our pictures taken for a Christmas Card we enlisted my sister Tracy. We went for a drive to our cabin in Huntsville because there is always beautiful colors up there. Sidenote:this was awhile ago, I am a slacker.... This last family one is my favortite background and as you can see SATAN came out in full force, apparently she was done having pictures. Have I mentioned she came by this name honestly and for good reason.

I thought this picture was so cute other than my poor children and their pasty skin. She also didn't get any of that mexican gene we Hutchison's so proudly brag about having. Brennen didn't get an individual picture because he would rather swing, go figure.

Proud parent moment. My children getting along... Ever LOVES to hold Brennen's hand it's just we can't get Brennen to love it back!! They were very cute.

Halloween Hoopla

2009-11-04T09:54:00.000-08:00

I had to wait for my sisters to post things on Halloween cause I didn't take out my camera!! So I totally stole these from Marie's blog... This is my dad with the chicklets of Thursday for the ward Trunk or Treat, Brennen insisted on being a baseball player with my dad, even though you can't tell cause, well let's face it, my children are naughty!! Ever was a lion cub with a bow so they would know she was a girl. It was Brennen's costume a few years back, we like to recycle. Is Eden not hilarious as a baseball? That was Ever costumes last year, but it was an egg to Brennen's chicken which is what Bennett is wearing. Seriously, good thing I was around that night or no kids would have had a costume. I didn't want to bust out the hoopla costumes because it had to be great for the party!!

Here's the group at the Hoopla we had honorary members drive all the way up from St. George to be with us!! They were the fairy clan, very cute!!! Christy was a bun in the oven because she's prego and Bennett was a rolling pin. Marie and Tracy were the blue man group, scared the children. My aunt Jilene ROCKED the place as a bunny!! Oh man she was funny. Natalie was UP! Complete with the dangling old man and boy. And last but not least....

Watching your husband outside pull a Michael Jordan move from out of his back pocket and do a running LEAP into the air to save his little girls rogue balloon~ White men can jump people... :)

Let's play catch up!

2009-10-11T19:58:00.000-07:00

My old man turned 50 this past month so we of course had to have a bash, but what's a bash without a theme. We chose John Denver. If you know my father you wouldn't have picked anything else. He doesn't know I saw this but when my father watched the news on the tragic death of Mr. Denver I saw tears. True story. Anyway he has a deep love, to him they are on a first name basis, a bromance if you will. Here was our main play on lyrics (if you will) we did this throughout the party. If you can't see it it says, You're not over the hill you're Rocky Mountain High! LOL oh man we're clever!!

This is the shirt we designed, 'To his Rocky Mountain Highness'

And this is the back of the shirt! LOL oh man seriously!!

This is the cake Tracy and Christy decorated, can you saw Awesome!

Mr. Denver serenading my dad on the mountain top, do you just love the eagle bringing in the banner? ~Tracy...HOLLA

This is his basket of gifts, it too has the main play on lyrics. Marie made the mountains out of of course cardboard. The balloons are supposed to be clouds (I did what I could with Marie's vision since she was in the hospital with a newborn) Anyway each gift was the start of a John Denver song and ended with us teasing my dad with all his funny quarks. For example, Aye Calypso I Sing To Your Spirit...with great breath and his present was mints. Or, On The Road Again...and on time and his present was a watch because he goes by what we call Todd time and it isn't the same as the rest of the world. But don't tell him that he is very punctual....

And then I made him a very moving video all about him accompanied by John Denver music and a few other of his favorites. In the end it was a great party. I think us kids had more fun making it all up....some people really don't get John Denver WEIRD. I guess I don't understand since I grew up to it blaring through my house! Love ya dad!!

On another note we went to the dinosaur park and Brennen LOVED it!! This was a cute picture from the event.

And finally, my mom bought this shirt because it reminded her of Ever....

Why would she think that?

1 + 2 = 3!!

2009-09-24T20:33:00.000-07:00

Here she is!! Miss Eden Rae Rose!! She was born early this morning at around 3:15 am. Weighs 6 lbs 12 oz and is 18 1/2 in long!

Here are the proud parents Les and Marie. Marie did this al natural (say it with a french accent). And me and Tracy hovered outside her door until we heard Eden cry, this experience also confirmed to me that I NEVER want to go al natural!! I guess that makes me not as hard core as I thought, but I don't care. Wahoo Marie!

The dream team with little Rae Ray!! Her middle name comes from her Grandma Rose and daddy!

Proud Pa

Brennen picked out this frog just for little Eden and wanted to give it to her. He was hesitant at first but when we left he cried for her, so funny

Photoshoot

2009-09-22T10:55:00.001-07:00

Every time I have driven down Wall there are always people taking pictures in front of this old building that has lots of garage doors on the front and Christy said she wanted to get some pictures of Bennett for his 2nd birthday. The last time I tried to get pictures my daughter faced planted it so we decided to give it a go. These were some of my favorites.

Being AWESOME is exhausting!

2009-09-08T11:10:00.001-07:00

So we had a VERY busy weekend. Saturday we woke up and went down to Antelope Island to the Kite Festival. When we got there the kids all made their own kites. This is Ever flying hers. I seriously didn't even think she would get it or care but she colored hers and was the one who had the best time flying it. It was so windy! Good for kite flying bad for hair!

They had these races called, bull races and you attached a kite to your waist and had to run against the wind and whoever won got a kite. I totally lost to my sister-in-law Stephanie and she had bronchitis!! Either I'm pathetic or Stephanie is awesome... I think it's both

Brennen said he wanted to climb up this wall, so we got him all hooked up...

and this is as far as he got. He got scared so the nice guy pulled him up a little bit and spun him in circles. He was a happy guy.

I should have known he would have trouble, he was scratching his butt from the very beginning.

They also went for a horse ride, Brennen didn't want to until he saw Ever get on with Stephanie then I think he didn't want to be shown up, they loved it. My mother-in-law rocks she paid for everything, which is so nice because we wouldn't have been able to do all the stuff we did without her.

Now to my awesomeness!!

We decided to celebrate Brennen's birthday Labor Day weekend because this Friday (Brennen's birthday) we are going camping, and my dad is doing LotoJa! Brennen had picked the bug cupcakes a week before for his birthday and then Me and Christy decided to have a dino party but I still had to do the bugs, of course, so we made them for the Wilson side.

Exhibit A: Me hard at work!

Exhibit B: My hard work!

The finial project! I think they turned out pretty cute!

These mini cupcakes were for the girls, but Ever ate like 5 of them so she might as well have had a regular cupcake.

Brennen liked them too.

Exhibit C: Dinos!

I am quite proud of the turn out, I made them up myself.

My mom was also very busy making this Raptor watermelon that I found online!

Then I found this idea in a book of mine, you take Plaster of Paris, Vermiculite, and water and mix them in equal parts. Pour into a container and drop in your dinos and let it harden for 30 minutes. And the kids become regular paleontologists and have to dig them up. But me and Christy put a little twist on it and we made the boys search for their dino eggs (they were more cups because we used a cupcake tin...Meh) and then they got to dig them up. I know I know, we're AWESOME!!!

We also had a pinata. I don't think Brennen will ever like a party with lots of kids because he got to beat this dino to death and only had to take turns with Bennett.

My brother-in-law got this slide at a yard sale for only $20! The kids loved it!!

Brennen got so spoiled by my parents!! They bought these little boys presents like it was Christmas! I am tempted to hide half of them and give them at Christmas to save some money!! This was his big present, a scooter!! He has wanted one of these for a long time, well a long time in three year old terms!! Thanks 1 pa & dramma!!!

Hair, Accessories, & Photoshoots

2009-09-01T13:55:00.000-07:00

So I discovered that the bottom of Ever's hair is quite long and so I put it in pigtails and she looked so cute for the five minutes she kept them in! Kurt keeps telling me to just leave her alone but if she would just get used to in now we wouldn't keep having the same old fight! I will prevail! She will be a cute girl with cute hair.

So we tried again with her cousin Josey, they of course loved their new dos

This is the adorable headband I made her and she had to play peek-a-boo in the closet. I am so sad it came out blurry because it was the cutest one!! She ripped this one out too and then proceeded to slobber all over it.

This is Ever's bling a.k.a my anklet and a pair of earrings! She walked around with both hands out all day to admire! What a girl!

And now Brennen's three favorite things. 1: No shirt, ever. 2. His swings, particulary going upside (please view below)And 3. The underdog, doesn't matter if the swings empty or not he'll give them, he also loves getting them!
My two rugrats!! Brennen turns 3 on the 11th so I thought we would go to the park and take some pictures for his b-day card and for the grandma's. These were my favorites, what do you think?

So GQ!

I was teasing him saying I would hit him in the face with this stick I had with leaves on it, this was his face.

I thought it would be cute if I could get a picture of him hanging from the monkey bars but they were to high up and I actually had to catch him seconds after this picture because he fell!

I got Ever all gussied up because I wanted a picture with the two of them. I literally got her out of the stroller and grabbed my camera and she fell headfirst into the sand box and did this to her face! It was so bad, I thought she got just a little sand on her face, oh no her whole face swelled up!! I say again, I can't believe she has lived this long!

But she still played and smile!! She's a scrapper!

It's been awhile...

2009-08-24T08:37:00.001-07:00

This pictures pretty much sums up our entire summer, in the backyard playing in the water. This is a water gun Aunt Marie gave B, he's obsessed. No one is safe especially our poor dog.

Ever and her toy sink I got her for her birthday, she dropped my phone in it and it's now malfunctioning so sorry for you people trying to get a hold of me, I hear it is near impossible!! She does loves the sink though.

My naked daughter and her shoes, if they aren't on her feet she carries them around with her until someone puts them on. She's definately my daughter our love for shoes goes down deep inside.

It's what fun is!!

My dad got us a killer deal on Lagoon tickets from his work, so away we went. It was a lot of fun.
The professional race car drivers!! Bennett cried when he had to get off. So he rode it a few times more.

Bennett was a little iffy on the rides, well he pretty much cried on most of them unless he was in the cars or with Brennen. They had a lot of fun, it's nice to have them so close!

Rob and Kurt trying to outsmart the games, totally rigged. But look at that form!

We HAD to ride the Tidal Wave, it's one of my fav's. I thought Christy was going to die, she's not a motion tolerant kind of gal. It was hilarious!! P.S. Our side totally won the yelling contest which is a must on this ride! Go figure I mean we are the loudest people on the planet.

I thought this picture was cute of the two sweet little monsters on the carosel! Ever loved sitting on the horse and going up and down, infact, I am pretty sure she screamed her head off when we had to take her from the ride.

Poor Rob, no one would pay $20 bucks and go on this ride with him, but I think he still enjoyed it.

Brennen somewhat patiently waiting to go on the bumper cars. He saw us ride them and that's all he wanted to to do. It was so funny he bumped no one just went in a circle until someone hit him.

This is what Ever has been doing..

growing teeth!! Man's it's been quite the process.
She has also advanced to the pig tail (look closely, they're there)!!

Her head looks abnormally large in these pictures but do not fret she just had to get right up to the camera everytime I tried to take a picture.

And for those of you who went to the morning session of the temple dedication did Pres. Monson not crack you up!! "DON'T DO IT DEITER!!" Ahhhh so funny!

2009-08-04T09:29:00.000-07:00

So a very talented lady named Kelley Howe, who is way too talented by the way, has her own site. She makes camera straps (shown above), adorable headbands, and vinyl to name just a few things she sells there. Her website is Sugar Pop Creations but if you would like to enter to win $25 worth of greatness go to my friend Megan's Blog to enter!! Trust me it is worth it!

Chocolate & Peanut Butter...Seriously, what could be better?

2009-07-30T20:42:00.000-07:00

So the other day I thought to myself I should find a recipe for Peanut Buttercup Cupcakes. I researched it and found a bunch of different recipes. So then I did some renovations to what I thought sounded yummiest! I must admit I am quite talented at this baking business! I just wanted to post to make your mouth water.

Here they are straight out of the oven

These are the bad boys all frosted up with peanut butter frosting. So divine!! It may look like butterscotch but DO NOT be fooled!

The finished product topped with shaved chocolate

Wait this was the final product, about to be consumed! They were pretty awesome. What do you think? (Megan you totally jealous? Need the recipe to try and top me? Sorry it's now a secret!! Kidding love ya!)

I definately have a few things I would do differently. For example, making sure I have cupcake holders BEFORE I go to the store. I had to fix the frosting to my liking which meant adding more ingredients, so let's just say if any of you would like to make them I have some frosting you can have!

Let it begin!!

2009-07-28T10:50:00.000-07:00

We are going to try again!More underwear was bought, we went through them to fast last time!

They fit and are enjoyed by boy!

Chart is made with sport stickers (a must have!)

We're still working on this stance and debating! Any advice, pee like dad or mom?

Wish us luck!

Marcia it's your birthday!

2009-07-21T21:48:00.000-07:00

So the big 26 today. Kinda awesome. I babysat my niece, cleaned the kitchen, and then went to mutual. Had pancakes for all 3 meals (Brennen insisted) and then came home from mutual to find out my son was 'helping' weed and pulled out my tomato plant! Apparently I need to teach him what stays in the dirt and what doesn't. Couldn't take a picture cause I lost my camera case (camera's still with me, THANK HEAVENS) but it had my battery charger in it so I am waiting for it's replacement to be shipped. What a day!!

My wonderful husband did clean our disaster of a house (I refused it was my day off from that at least, right?) and promised a night out on the town. He also let me take a birthday nap and played with the girls. So really how could I complain? I told my young women if I wasn't showered with love, gifts, and song I would demand my release. So they of course complied with my wishes. What a good group of girls I have!!

Birthday's are different for me being a mom, I don't get a day off which was mandatory when I worked. I don't get the same hub bub (if you will) I expected from my mom, you know banners, awesome cakes, and constant worship throughout the day (Kurt's still trying to understand my need for recognition). But when your 3 year old (without force or persuasin from a third party) says he loves you and sings happy birthday and your little girl showers you with slobbery kisses, and you get more comments on Facebook then your entire history of being on that thing, and when you get a dedicatory blog of your awesomeness from your sister, and constant phone calls and texts all day to again tell you how cool you are, how can it not be a good day?!

My baby is 1!

2009-07-13T22:34:00.000-07:00

It's happened my baby has made it to her first birthday. I'm not going to lie I didn't think it was going to happen, she is very dangerous. Everytime I turn around she is on top of something, but we survived!! Here's her birthday. Mind you my camera decides to malfunction after the party had been going for a mere 10 minutes. So thank you Natalie for the pictures. When I get mine back on track I will post more. I am missing the other side of my family in this post.

Ever's birthday Announcement

Ever with all her loot!

The cupcakes I made with the help of some recruits. I had to leave the kitchen out of pure rage! But they turned out great!

This was Brennen all night and trust me it was quite the fight just to get the shorts on! But all he did was play baseball. This boy's got talent! Major Leagues, seriously.

Ever's new ride!

Brennen stealing Ever's new ride and trying to convince me she was sharing!

With the help of Pa they got her car back.

Bennett caught red handed Boosting Ever's new ride.

Bennett hogging the water toy! Who's party is this?? HAHA!

Ever's new dress from Mexico courtesy of Aunt Natalie. She's looks great. Nice plunge neck line, don't you think? Watch out boys!

Ever sporting her new bling! Don't worry, Natalie bought a dress to match. Once I get proof I will definately post!

She got spoiled! But I like to think she just got loved!

Ragnar Relay~Wasatch Back (Logan to Park City aka LotoPa)

2009-06-23T19:49:00.000-07:00

This last weekend I ran in the Wasatch Back. For those of you who don't know what that is, it's a 12 man relay from Logan to Park City. Each runner has 3 legs and it lasts from Friday to Saturday.

Van 2 or as I referred to us as Van AWESOME!

The first exchange between the vans. Our van was runners 7-12 and I was runner 7 so everytime it was our turn I was first. This is aunt Lorie the marathoner, so I would book it the first part until I was out of her eyesight and then slow 'er down. I had to impress (don't worry I did)

I had an encounter with a snake! Don't worry this is me giving the ok.

Uncle Randy getting me some water. It was so hot!! 5 pm run, I was a sweatin!

This is the other Randy (Steiny) he is my parents neighbor and quite the addition to the team!! He was constantly eating junk food right before his run and still rocked it! Iron Stomach, so funny!! This is him following all traffic rules, only 55 mph :)

This was Robert's motto and inspiration!

Christy had the hardest run. Right up Snow Basin but she never stopped or slowed down. We seriously had the toughest team!

This was my second leg I finished at 3 am. It was a little rough right up East Canyon they called it a moderate incline Ugh I don't want to see their hard incline. Don't worry I totally passed 4 people (that's called road kill in the racing world!) By the end we as a van had over 75 road kills. I know we rock!

This is Stephanie climbing a mountain! It was so hard!

This is Uncly Randy running into the storm. It was almost over! Christy was all that was left.

The weather we encountered, poor Christy had to run in a monsoon to finish up the race!

Overall we place 258 out of over 600 teams. And in our division we place 184! I don't think that's too bad at all for Rookies. We finished in 30 hours and 40 minutes and we did this on no sleep!! GO TEAM HUTCHIBY!!

Ode to Ever

2009-06-14T22:29:00.000-07:00

So they always say that your second kid never gets as many pictures as the first or you don't do the same things you did for your first. And I always thought, 'well yeah if you just don't do it, but I totally will. I will never forget to do the book and the growing pictures'. WRONG!!

I am such a mess, I lost my brain somewhere after having Ever and have yet to locate it! I forget everything!! And that includes the stuff I ridiculed those 'so called' moms for! So this is my ode to my little girl!!

Growing Pictures

With Brennen I did this literally every other month. Notice how there are only 3 pictures...

2 months old
6 months old

11 months old
Well I at least got 3, right?

I made these frozen pudding pops and let's just say she loved them!!

This picture (which I made into a 9x9 inch card, yeah it was awesome!) I hadn't posted yet because we were waiting for all to graduate. Me and Christy did this for our three graduates: Natalie, Tyson & Tracy WOOWOO!!! We changed each of the colors to match the schools. Purple for WSU, Green for Army, and Red for Weber High!! So proud, so proud!!

~Side Note~

Another photographer moment. These are the pretty flowers in my yard. I KNOW!

They are still alive and in my care!

Rad Trad Grad Club, Jilene's 60!

2009-05-30T20:28:00.000-07:00

Tracy is a big girl now and graduated!! It was very exciting EXCEPT my camera died and I didn't get a shot of her fan club! The RAD TRAD GRAD CLUB! I'm sure it was very embarassing for her seeing as we had T-shirts (home-made) and Giant letters that spelled out her name and we held them up every chance we got!! And if you didn't know this we are very loud!

Tracer! That's our girl!

Here's a funny picture of the kids right before the ceremony. It makes me laugh.

This is a picture of the kids on Jayla's first birthday! I can't believe the girls are already turning 1! It's Ever and Josey's turn next month! Look at Brennen's duck hat he's a cyclops!

Our Beautiful aunt Jilene turned 60 on the 21st! I can't believe it. Not a greater lady in all the land!! She's been at every great moment in my life without fail and everything in between. I think my mother would've given us up for adoption growing up if Jilene didn't take us all the time for sleep overs and the like. We love her dearly. So for the big day she picked yard clean up and trust me it was work! This is the before picture.

A beautiful butterfly that landed in her bushes. Yeah that's right I took this picture. Professional you say?? I believe so

After!! I hope you can truely see the difference because there were weeds taller and wider than the three grandchildren combined!! Man we're good!

The kids cooling off in the sprinklers. Ever dived in head first while the boys sat back saying it was cold. Whimps!

My aunt loves TicTacs and as you can see that is what she got. Natalie made the cake (I know very talented) and we got her 60 packs of TicTacs. She loved it!

The working group after a long day! Happy Birthday Jilene!!

Fiesta and Mother's Day

2009-05-08T13:31:00.000-07:00

So I know I constantly talk about how awesome I am, but really it is SO true!! For young women's we had a Cinco De Mayo party and Sandy (far right), the YW's president, brought us these lovely outfits to wear. Let's just say WE ROCKED 'EM!! I myself looked like a giant pumpkin but it's for the kids!!! Cheryl (far right) was so little she couldn't wear the same outfits as the rest of us she had to wear a little kids one. Whatever!!

Seriously, there was so much fabric. I think each skirt weighed at least 10 pounds, not kidding!! So we were seeing if we could all get under Jill's skirt. We totally did.

These are the beautiful flowers me and the kids made for the grandma's. I know you're thinking where did all this talent come from. Well hard work people nothin but hard work! These were made out of toilet paper rolls!

The Wilson grandkids! So cute!!!

Easter and Things...

2009-04-20T08:51:00.001-07:00

We had a really good Easter weekend, it started with my brother in law Robert needing to borrow my children for his EMT class to practice taking childrens vitals. Brennen could've cared less, they put on Cars and he was in the zone. We would just say, "Brennen show them your muscles (which was him showing them his elbow!!) Here is how Ever enjoyed the day. She lasted through about 3 people and then had ENOUGH! She was very angry if anyone even came near her. I just told them she was really good practice for the real life stuff. Our little angel...

This picture serves 2 purposes. This is us Easter morning all dressed up in our nice new outfits (except me BOO!!) headed off to church, and secondly to show off the fence Kurty boy just put in. We love it, Brennen is trapped!

This is Brennen trying out the new wheel barrel he got, he got lots of fun toys to play with outside. So spoiled. Ever got new bottles (I know lame.. but pricey for the ones she uses)

This is Josey and Ever playing with all the Easter eggs we just gathered together. Jayla was here but she crawled off way to fast.

This is all the girls on the Wilson side. Easter was the day Brian and Leah blessed little Lydia. It was a good day and I think we all look great!!

My latest craft projects/kids in Easter getup

2009-04-06T23:31:00.001-07:00

I made Ever a tutu CUTE huh? And that of course meant a bow and I decided if the girl is going to wear a tutu she is going to wear the world's biggest bow (at least for her head...)

I made these for Brennen for Easter, it is an Easter egg scavanger hunt that will lead him to his basket! You can go ahead and call me Mother of the Year anytime:) Each egg will lead him to the next clue and it will also have a prize. Laffy Taffy anyone?

These are Brennen's naughty faces that I had to capture to prove to my mother that he is infact, much to her dismay, very naughty! This one is his face of pure annoyance..

This is him yelling, "I not!!" Which is translated to NO!

All I need is butterfly wings and this girl will be my little fairy!

Aren't they so dang cute?!! Thanks Mom for the Easter outfits!!

My debut!

2009-03-31T19:17:00.000-07:00

I am in the Young Women's and for the ward party the committee decided the youth would be the entertainment and they were even so nice are to tell us what we were doing. A lip sync. So we as leaders performed Mama I'm a Big Girl Now from Hairspray. And I'm not even going to sugar coat it. WE WERE GREAT!!! (I am on the far left.) Praises are welcomed and appreciated!

My newest Love...

2009-03-24T20:53:00.000-07:00

is Photoshop Elements!! Now I just need to figure it all out. Here is what I have done so far.

Why do you ask is there only one picture of Brennen? Oh because it is the only one he isn't making a funny face in and looking. Even then I had to swap heads for this!! I am such a genius!

Brennen 2 1/2 years old

Ever 8 months old

How we've been rollin in the new year!

2009-02-24T14:21:00.000-08:00

Peggy made them matching jammies for Christmas and B was so excited!! They always have to wear them together!

Warriors good guys! Wolves bad guys!

We went to the Weber/Fremont b-ball game, and of course Weber totally dominated (much to Kurt's dismay). And we got Brennan saying 'Go Weber!' Just to rub it in to Kurt of course and after the game B says 'Daddy warriors good guys wolves bad guys!' It was hilarious! THAT'S MY BOY!

This is what B thought during the game and I agree it was way loud
Mrs. Keel and her son who ran out on the court during the game!!!

This is what I come home to when Natalie watches the kids...

More tongue from Ever!!

25 random things..

2009-02-03T12:06:00.000-08:00

This has been going around on Facebook and I have been reading them and thought they were so funny so I wanted to post. Especially since I have taken any pictures in awhile. It is lengthy but very revealing...

In no particular order...

1. I love to squeeze babies, especially mine. They are so dang cute and soft I just have to SQUEEZE!! They hate it.

2. I used to be hard core, and I was very proud of that. Nothing could get me to cry, then I had kids and have now become a sympathetic cryer. It is so annoying!! If anyone and I mean ANYONE sheds a tear whether it be a bad movie or a cartoon I can feel the liquid forming. I hate myself for it.

3. If my mom ever lost me in the grocery store when I was little she could always find me in the produce section, by the bananas, putting Chiquita banana stickers all over my face! I always started with the little part above my lip (you know what I am talking about)

4. If anyone pulls out a camera I will contort my body into any position to get into that picture. And it's always with a cheese!!

5. I hate clutter! And I feel major stress when things are out of control. Everything has a place, even my messes are organized! I annoy myself with it.

6. When I get in the zone, the cleaning zone. Steer clear, I am probably onery and venting anger through some serious scrubbing. Just let me clean!

7. I have a really bad temper and sometimes it takes all my control not to attack something or someone. Don't worry I have a kick boxing class :)

8. I have a serious sugar intake problem. Sometimes I want sugar so bad I will eat something I don't even like just becaust it's sweet. Oh thank heavens for the gym or I would be a 500 pound cow!!

9. I am not a morning person and seriously need at least 8 hours of quality R.E.M. sleep to be a functional human being. So for any of you who have been around me since Ever was born you now understand my problem! Brennen has already been trained that if he wakes up before 8 to just crawl on in to mommy's bed and watch a movie.

10. I love to laugh, ask Kurt, it's usually at very stupid things but that's why it's so funny!! A good laugh when you cry and can't breathe is rare and so worth the pain it causes!! My family talking about us as kids usually does the trick. We were really weird!

11. I love to watch my children grow and develop but then immediately after miss the stage they were just in.

12. I have very little patience (it goes along with the anger I think) especially when I am in the middle of project and my children "need" something. I find myself saying "Just a minute!" alot.

13. As a highschool student I vowed once I got my diploma I was done with school. Then I got my patriachal blessing and it said just the opposite 'to gain all the education you can' I was so upset. But back to school I went and now that I am graduated I really miss it. I would like to go back one day.

14. I don't have self control when it comes to food, I can be completely full but still eat because it just tastes so good, or it's right in front of me. It's a Hutchison curse I believe, ask my sisters!

15. If I do anything I deem to be great I need public acknowledgement of this fact. Some say I am vain I just say it was from a lack of attention as a child. I was the second child after an overachiever (Love you Christy!!) So tell me it's great and I will most likely agree.

16. I have a very sarcastic sense of humor as does my whole family. I love that we go back and forth with each other and just laugh and laugh, usually at someone else's expense. It takes a person with tough skin to handle us. But in our defense we only tease if we like ya.

17. I have a serious problem with spending at places like Costco and Walmart, I always find something that looks cool, yummy, or that I 'need'. It's never on my list and it always ends with a high price.

18. I have a hard time letting go of somethings and tend to over analyze situations I have been in. I find myself laying in bed recreating the conversation or what not and imagining what I would have done or said, I lay awake for hours sometimes. Let go Marcia just let go!

19. I am a talker!! I tend to over talk someone when I think I have something good to say. I can't hide my feelings well because sometimes I just blurt. I am working on it. I am trying to listen more but man it's hard, I've got a lot to say!!

20. When I load the dishwasher I do it the same everytime. I think it's a bit OCD. The spoons, forks, etc. HAVE to be in the same container/spot everytime. And I feel anxiety when I watch how Kurt does it. That poor man.

21. I am one onery bugger if I am hungry or tired. As you can see I have issues with things.

22. I can't believe how much I love my family, growing up I couldn't wait to get rid of em. But now I love to hang out with them. Kurt said the other day that we didn't have a lot of friends (boo!) and I said we did we're just related to them. That's really how it is I have amazing friends and family and want to be with all of them.

23. I want to take a cake decorating/ pastry class, well there are actually a lot of classes I want to take. You know, broaden my horizons.

24. I have major issues about my boobs. In 8th grade my friends boyfriend said the girls were pointy and now bra shopping is a major process. When I get ready I can have my gut hanging all over the place but if my boobs aren't just right there goes the outfit. So stupid, 14 years later and I still worry about it and I have a nice rack people!! What am I worried about! I have also named them Reba and Louise. Kurt thinks I should change their names to Ruby and Luby my 2 boobies!! TMI?

25. I feel I have a very unique soul that seldom is truely understood, but there are a few who 'get' me. You know who you are...

I hope you all still want to be my friend!

Sorrow and Regret (An ode to Natalie)

2008-12-06T20:56:00.000-08:00

I forgot when I shouldn’t have
I am sole to blame
You were hurt and disappointed
And for that I am ashamed!

What a day of accomplishment
A duet with your teacher!
But I was too consumed with my illness
Convinced it was a visit from the reaper!

I hear it was the recital of all recitals
Your piano number was top par
But the only picture we have
Is some man’s head from afar (thanks mom!)

I forgot your big day
In my mind it just passed by
I feel so bad if it were in my genes
I would cry

So a poem I must write
And on my blog I must post
To publicly say to you
For this, I hate me most

So dear Natalie I apologize
But this I do fret
May not be enough
My poem of sorrow and regret

So I’ll give you a few days
And if you’re still mad yucky
I’ll take and buy you
The cheapest thing at Tepanyaki!

With all my sorrowful love, Marcia

November so far...

2008-11-13T12:55:00.000-08:00

October Update (in no particular order)

2008-11-03T10:55:00.000-08:00

So I wanted to update you because I am a slacker, but there have been some fun events this month I want to dedicated just to them. For example, our 2nd annual Hutchison Halloween Hoopla, I honestly haven't laughed that hard in (I'm going to say it years!) and our trip to Moab. But I want to get all the other pictures from family so it will be coming soon. So until then here's a little tidbit of our month!
*FYI My first race EVER (and not my daughter) is this Saturday, the Gobbler Gallop, it's a 5k. Anyone who wants to join I would love to have you. Let me know!!

She just gets cuter and cuter, Natalie says she could be an elf from LOR Christy says she's a siamese cat! They mean it in a loving way of course. What do you think?

My chicken and egg, I was a farmer but that is a later post!! (Trust me it'll be good)

This is us Jeeping in Moab, but again I want to dedicate an entire post to this, swearing was involved!!

This picture almost makes me pee my pants everytime I look at it!! LOL

Here are me and my friends from my old ward, out to lunch! So fun!! Hopefully we do it again soon.

Us as Bues Pond there were so many ducks, Brennen was in heaven.

Bubb helping me do the laundry, what a good worker!

My stinking cute little girl!

Brennen and Carter at the train museum! They are such good buddies!

100 Push Up Challenge!!

2008-10-22T12:15:00.000-07:00

So my friend Andrea told me about this HOLLA!! And I totally want to try it. You have a schedule they give you and at the end of six weeks you should be able to do 100 consecutive push ups! How cool would that be? So I am doing it! Who's with me?!! Come on let's be hard core together!!!
I haven't earned the badge below but I am totally going to (and have it be a permanent part of my blog!) and I am doing the real push ups not the sissy girl kind! (I'll let you know how that goes) I have done day one already and I am not going to lie I'm in column one but I am so doing it!! Let's do it together!! http://hundredpushups.com/

Latest projects

2008-10-14T10:28:00.000-07:00

Slowly but surely my house is getting more decorated, one day my house will be done and in true Kurt fashion he will probably think it's time to move. He's done it twice before!! Anyway here are my latest projects, vinyl. Anyway I thought they turned out cute! (And kudos to me for posting so much!)

The itsy bitsy spider, mom dumb (he means gum)

2008-10-10T17:44:00.000-07:00

As you all may know when you first learn to talk some consonants are hard to pronounce for Brennen they are the K and G sounds. He used to call Kurt Dirt and I found it hilarious and apparently for Kurt it's payback.

Brennen singing the Itsy Bitsy Spider all by himself!

Update!

2008-10-04T20:41:00.000-07:00

I won't even ruin this hilariousness with a comment!!
The babies and mommies!
Wilson family girls night out, we did some shopping and went to dinner in Park City! Way fun except I spent way too much money (ask Kurt!)
We were quite the sight, my daughter is the one with a blanket over her she had had more than enough by this point, we had been there all day.
Daddy and his babies!
My stinkin cute little girl! And she's 12 weeks old!!

Milestones

2008-09-17T12:14:00.001-07:00

Brennen turned 2!!

My little boy isn't so little anymore!! But he had a good day. Grandma and Papa Hutch took him and his cousin Bennet to the zoo for their b-days!! Their b-days are a day a apart and Benny turned 1!!! YEAH

This was his cake and if you knew how many times a day he watches Nemo you could understand what a hit it was for him!!

He got his very own NEMO fish (the fresh water version) Thanks Aunt Steph and Uncle Brett!!!

And then he got his favorite thing of all, all the boys outside playing with him!! He loves is uncles and cousins and LOVES it when they do whatever he wants!!

My baby smiles!!

It's kinda dark sorry but we have been trying for so long to get a picture or video and when the opportunity came we had to grab it. She's so dang cute!!

Brennen goes potty!

Now don't mistake this for potty training but we have had some major successes, he has done #1 and 2!!! And I am a very proud mom as you can plainly see. He tells me now (after the fact but still) and we go sit on the potty. So we're getting there.

Too graphic... nope just proud!! (For your benefit I didn't take pictures of the #2... you're welcome!)

My sisters are triathletes!!!

(Christy's father in law Bill, Christy, and Marie)

They did so awesome each coming in at great times!! They are my heros!!

Way to go guys!! You rocked!!

Josey's blessing

And this one..

Let's play catch up!

2008-08-24T20:37:00.000-07:00

Frontrunner and TRAX experience

So I decided to try out Frontrunner and head on down to SLC to lunch with my sister Marie and Megan (Chelsie you have to quit ignoring us!!) and it was quite the experience! I was slightly terrified to do this because I had my double stroller (Kudos to you Heather for going anywhere!!) I kept telling Marie I was scared the doors were going to close on me and I would be stuck and she said I was crazy (you just keep on reading people!) So Frontrunner went good and here we are happy.

But then I had to get on TRAX. OK totally impossible with a double stroller, so I went to the handicap ramp, TRAX employees RUDE!! I got yelled at. And so we were at a crossroads,but at least I got a break and had lunch.
Here's Brennen and Anna after lunch, don't they look like they could be brother and sister?? Lucky kids aren't they cute and whose even cuter?? Their mothers!!
Here we are stuffed and happy!! Thanks for taking the picture Marie!! So back to the trip home I was a bit scared on how I was going to get back on TRAX so my loving sister decided to come home with me!! And guess what? My fear came true!!! We did get shut in the door at Frontrunner, and who was the one stuck in the closed door? The certain person who made fun of my fears!! KARMA!!! HAHA

The Cabin

Here are the boys by the river at the cabin, if Brennen is up there he is throwing whatever is on the ground, mostly rocks, in the river. And he is the happiest boy in town!! What a funny little boy. And this time he got lucky cause dad had bubbles! And his uncles were having a good time too they were seeing who could throw a rock and hit the bubbles Kurt was throwing. BOYS!

And who knew all I had to do was put Ever on a feathered pillow and she would sleep like an angel! Don't worry people her nose is clear of all fabric!! This is Brennen loving his sis!! He is so sweet with her, sometimes he loves her a bit too much!

Hiking

So I've been trying to get into shape, since I let myself go with the pregnancies (Not once but twice) so my sweet husband has been going with me. Me and Kurt go hiking twice a week and when I'm not doing that I am running with Bandino (my dog) or biking with the kids in tow.

Before...

After!!!
Here's how I found my kids after a long bike ride. Brennen cracks me up, he has to be touching her to make sure she is ok all the time!! What a good big brother.

Disasters and Blessings

2008-08-14T12:12:00.000-07:00

So I made this delicious oatmeal butterscotch bar thingy and I set it on my stove so I could frost it. MISTAKE! I didn't realize that I had set it on the burn unit I had just turned off (so piping hot) yeah it totally exploded and I had my baby in my arms. I had a bit of a freak out. What a waste of good food.

There was glass everywhere!! I had actually wiped some of it off when I thought to take pictures. Oh man what a mess!
But then I redeemed myself and made these! Thank you gifts for my visiting teachers!

BLESSING
The blessing turned out so nice! Kurt did such a good job, and we had TONS of yummy food. How I amnot a whale is beyond me.

How cute is she??

The sisters! So pretty

Check out my sisters blog (Marie) she has ONCE AGAIN out done me and has posted some really cute blessing pictures!

Try 2!

2008-08-01T15:30:00.000-07:00

So I go to Kiddie Kandids to get my free announcements you get when your have a kid. Can I just tell you how that went! We took 4 pictures total FOUR!!! And were there for an hour and a half, and not because of the KK workers they were great. It was my crazy children who caused the stress. Brennen kept laying on top of Ever and making her cry or just flat out wouldn't do what we asked him too, and poor Ever was hungry for her close up and just couldn't function. But these are what I got. Whooo!

This isn't the actual announcement it was much cuter and it was free!
They had these cute collages on sale (KK is expensive) and I only had three other pictures so I did it. Again this isn't the original it is much cuter.
Here are my crazy kids!
