so, these pics are out of order for some reason, i didn't select them that way but whatever. For D's party, we finally got around to it about a month after his real bday. We had been sick the real bday week and that was a couple of weeks, then we were out of town, the i was not feeling well for a while...bUT we finally got around to it. He wanted to invite so many people, so he said we could just watch a movie. I thought, great...but then i looked at his list and thought....NOT GREAT! I didn't have room for that many kids in my front room! So, i got thinking and started begging off of my neighbors! I am getting good at that. ;-) Anyway, we did a movie in our backyard and the kids all loved it. It was a lot of kiddos, but i think the easiest party i have ever done and the kids had a lot of fun. So, it was a hit and now brad wants to buy our own projector and screen and do a movie a couple of times a month in our yard during the summers! I think it's a great idea...but we will have to start saving! It really was quite fun!







D's first week of scouts and can i just tell you.... HE LOVES SCOUTS!!! He wont leave me alone about it! In fact, they made rockets the last couple of weeks so we are having a rocket launch tomorrow, he is so excited he can't sleep! It is cute to see him so excited about it, and it gives him something other to do than always reading. Reading is good, don't get me wrong, but i can't get this kids nose out of the books!!!


And this is J making his own ziplock bag ice cream for a family night treat one week. The kids loved it! He put socks on his arms because the bag was so cold. Anyway, a lot of fun and of course tasted yummy!


this is from the movie for d's bday, i think they look like they are enjoying it!!!

So long FAcebook and hello blogging again!!!

So, our facebook page kept getting advertisements and friend requests from practically naked women...it just started happening like two weeks ago. I haven't been able to figure it out. And when i would click on the IGNORE button so it would go away, it in fact would route me to another page full of terrible pictures!!! So, i said SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Long to FB.

I was kind of worried i would miss it, but really, it is just waisted time. AT least with blogging i am recording our day to day happenings and journaling for my family. I can control my blog more than i can a FB page. So, i will be blogging more often now and really don't think i will miss FB. There are far better, more uplifting things I could be doing. ;-) So, hello AGAIN blogging world it good to be back!

We are alive and kickin'! Picture update...

our most recent picture together...just last week!

***says he got scout stuff from gpa and pa boothe...sorry about that...it is from GrandMA and GrandPA Boothe... ;-)


Well, the Wilson Family is alive and kicking. Just running around like a chicken with it's head cut off! So, FINALLY and update!!! We will do better on updates, sorry.

So, brad has an archery tag...it ends friday...still no luck! Will be going out again on thursday/friday, so everyone...CROSS YOUR FINGERS!!!

Jennie is teaching piano to nine students, loving having a cute little girl, loosing her hair like crazy and getting fatter by the minute. I stay busy trying to keep up on house tasks etc. I have come across a blog that sums up how i feel about my housekeeping abilities... a slob comes clean...i can't remember if it is at .com or .blogspot.com Check it out! She has some good tips and i am in progess, trying to tackle my house. My friend Angie has moved back and it has been sooooo fun having her here. It was liked we just picked up where we left off, 4 years ago when they moved. We love our seely's and glad they are back! Sad they are looking for a house NOT where we are, but glad they will be just a hop-skip-and-a-jump away!!! Thanks to my friend angie, in finally went and got my thyroid checked as i have been having a lot of issues with stuff, but alas, it came back normal. So, we are slowly working on things and hope to be feeling like normal again, sometime soon. I am thinkinging about trying to do a 10k in november, that should whip into shape huh??? Oh, and a sugar strike for a month or so...i just have to kick this!!! Wish me luck!

D just turned 8. Is starting scouts and loving it. Today is his first den meeting! Did i just say how excited he is about scouting??? WAY EXCITED! He got glasses recently and getting used to those. Is starting to like the ladies...we're having to pull the reigns back on that!!! He is an awesome helper and is testing at the top of his class! He learned how to mow the lawn too and it actually quite good at it! Loves reading and says he wants to read the entire magic tree house set. it's like 38 books or something. Absolutely loves his reading! Is taking piano lessons and trying to decide if he wants baseball, soccer or basketball this year...

C loves being at school all day. He is constantley complimenting me! He's got the brown-noser part of it down for sure!!! He loves to play with friends and go to his class website! He loves scootering to the bus and "spiking his hair". His too front top teeth are loose, so soon he will be able to sing "All i want for Christmas is my two front teeth" Loves to bike too, when his tires aren't flat.

J is doing better on listening...but still makes messes left and right. Just recently he was trying to help brad put away stuff in shed and picked up D's fishing pole and hooked himself right in the belly. AFter three of our EMT neighbors and brad being late to work, we got it out and he survived!!! He has a smile that just melts your insides and knows just when to use it too!!! He is jealous of his brothers leaving him so we try and do our own school time a few days a week. He just made his own binoculars and practiced his letter J for his name. He likes to help with his sister and little TOO MUCH, but he loves her all the same.

E is growing and changing every day. She is about 13 lbs now...her hair is getting a little thicker...and no teeth yet. BUT, she can crawl and pull herself to standing position on the couch! She also has the cutest smile and if she is fed and changed, she is happy happy. WE love her and love that SHE is a SHE!!! Having a girl is quite fun!

So, there you have it, a very consolidated update...our summer was good. We visited my parents a couple of times, my sister came to visit and we had a lot of fun at the lake and camping in our yard with them. I have tried my hand at bottling salsa, tomatoes, and thinking about doing pears... THINKING ABOUT IT! My first priority is my house... I want to get it cleaned up, like really cleaned up and organized. Then spray for bugs cause it is that time of year...and THEN i want to repaint some rooms...but that might be pushing my energy levels, so we will just start with cleaning it. hee hee

We will try to update more regularly and keep in touch more often with our blogger friends! i read everyones quite often, just don't comment like a should! Here's to more blogging!
