Wee Wilson Tales

We started out the summer with a trip to Destin, Florida. We went with John's mom, Eli, Corrie, Alexa, and Elle. It was a wonderful trip! We were there for a week, and I didn't want to come back. It was a great time. They graciously let us stay in the master bedroom, so the two boys slept in the bed with us. Gunnar slept in a pack-n-play in the bathroom. It worked out very well.  Lot's of fun!

This year, Jax wrote the names on all of his valentines cards for his friends!!! It was adorable to watch him do this. We went with a Transformers set of cards...but I will never forget his first choice....TWILIGHT! :) John would really blame this on me. I have the movie and Jax has seen just a few random bits and pieces of it...but all he knows is that they are vampires and wolves. And that means they are tough. And Jax is all for anything that is "TOUGH." But look at my first baby writing all these names...  Looking "tough" with his gun.

Jax turned four in January! He has grown up so much this year. He started the 3 and 4 year old program here at Northwest Community College this year. It has been so fun to watch him make friends and become independent. When he started the program, he clung to Mrs. Penny's leg. After Christmas, he was quite capable of taking care of himself in school. He is really smart, and it is great to see him have the opportunity to be in a good learning environment. He became really good friends with Canon at school, but also enjoyed playing with Braxton and Lee. He even asked his little friend (girl) Presley to go with him to see a movie! I promised him a bike if he would go to "school" for one full week to give it a try. So, he has also learned to ride a bike this year. This year Jax has become quite the story teller...in a good way. I believe he is going to have his Grandaddy Ogie's story telling abilities. We had to spend the night with my parents a last month when our po...

Well, I am so far behind on this blogging that I am not even sure where to start. I can't make it too overwhelming or I won't do it at all! So I am going to start with an update about each of my Wilson boys!! I think I will start in the middle....with Ronin! I love this kid!! He is still 2, but will be 3 on September 17th. Currently, he is a momma's boy. They all go through phases, but right now it's me! He loves to sing songs. Some of my favorites to hear him sing are You are my sunshine, Big Rock Candy Mountain, Doe a Dear, Sing What I Sing... Earlier this year he was in one of those precious language transitions, and he sang Big Rock Candy Mountain with me. I left off the last word in each stanza and he was so cute..."One evening as the sun went down, a jungle fire was BURN-BURN (burning). And along came a hobo HI-HI (hiking), and he said boys I'm not TURN-TURN (turning). I'm headed for a land that's far away, beyond the crystal FOU-FOU (fountain). ...

Since it's too overwhelming to try and do all the blogs that should have been posted the last few months, I'll just have to start with the recent stuff. I am a little busy... and my blog has suffered for sure! So I will start with the snow! We had a wonderful time playing in the snow! It started snowing on Jax's fourth birthday! We were thrilled, but it definitely messed up our plans. Everyone who knows me well would not be surprised that I started freaking out and canceled our plans at the thought of getting stranded in the snow away from our children! We were taking Jax to Southaven to Chucky Cheese and going to see a movie...just me, John, and Jax. We ended up at Walmart buying groceries and the roads were already getting slick when we left. We got about 6 inches of snow. These gloves are a nightmare to keep on! All bundled up...Ronin! We had a blast on this! I think John was trying to throw Wendy and me off in the gully...I should have known better than to let him pull ...
