The Boys

Here are my awesome little men.

Jaren is 8 this year. It was really exciting to watch him get baptized. Mike was able to give him the Holy Ghost and it was so nice to see 3 families come together to support him without any drama. Everyone was there for Jaren and the love and spirit felt that day were strong. Jaren is making his way through 3rd grade this year. He loves to read and is a full 2 grades ahead on his reading skills. He also loves to dance. He is waiting patiently to be involved in an all boys hip hop group here in Roy. Gangnam Style is his favorite song and dance right now. You should see his moves!

Ozzy is 6. We are looking forward to putting him in football next fall when he will finally be old enough. We are convinced with his speed and athleticism that he will make a great receiver or running back! He is pretty sure of it too. The classroom is another place that Ozzy excels. He is at the top of his class and can speak more Spanish than his mama now. He comes straight home and hops on his homework, he will finish the whole weeks worth of homework in one night. His tenderness also hits me hard as he is always the first to hug and kiss me and tell me what a great mom I am.

Ty is 3 this year. He is my little spitfire. This kid can throw a tantrum like no other. Its very impressive. On the other hand he has the cutest giggle. It is infectious and I love making him laugh. He does not like video games. He would much rather be outside with Dad or helping me do whatever. I love that about him. He doesn't start school for another 3 years but he already knows his alphabet, his numbers to 20 and a few site words. And he will sing you the spider-man over and over and over.

These two are either best friends or worst enemies. I think they are going to be super tight when they get older. It will just be up to me to make sure they don't kill each other before they get to that point.

I am so grateful for the privilege of raising these special spirits. Sometimes its an overwhelming responsibility but I hope that I am teaching them to love, serve, respect, work, and play in a way that keeps them happy and is pleasing to Heavenly Father.

Anniversary-September 23

I am trying to catch up on some other things that happened earlier this year. My anniversary is one that I do not want to forget. My husband and I just celebrated our 1st year of marriage on Sept 23, 2012. He took me out for my favorite food (sushi) at my favorite place (Windi's Sukiaki) and then played tennis with me for two hours! That is a major show of love for him because tennis is one of my passions but not his. I feel truly blessed to be with such a loving, giving, man. He has blessed my life and the boys in more ways than I can count.

Here are few of my favorite pics from our beach wedding in Maui that happened last year.
The three below are from the engagement pics taken the day before. We were engaged a total of 2.5 days before we got married.

 This one made the front page of our photographers website, www.merrakai.com. We brought our photgrapher with us from Utah to take pictures and she did not disappoint!

  Love this boy!

Is there a more romantic place to get married? I think not

These two make me smile. He kept putting his hands under my butt to hold me and to get a better picture he had to move them to my back. It made us both giggle.

Our first dance as a married couple. The waves did the serenading

Look at the amazing backdrop. Oh and the handsome man kissing me. I am so lucky.

The rings.

Running to the honeymoon sweet. I can't imagine what for??? Wink Wink

The beginning of our happily ever after.

Murder Mystery

We had so much fun at the Deadwood Saloon last Saturday..AKA...Wilson home. Our house was all decked out.

From what I hear it was something worth gossiping about and everyone was telling us to make sure to do another one next year and make it a Wilson family tradition.

Mike was the Saloon owner and I was his wife/tramp. Apparently Mike was paying the Sheriff to sleep with me! Why I never.... 

There was a good mix of family, friends, and neighbors at the party. It was a lot of work & mula but I think in the end it was a fun way to celebrate the holiday. Why should our little buckaroos have all the fun on Halloween, we deserve to party too right?!

Yeehaw!

A New Beginning

I really want to start a journal of the Wilson family. When I stayed at home I was pretty good at catching life's moments on paper. Since I have been working full time I have not made time to fit it into my schedule. I realize how much the kids and I are missing out by not having those memories in writing so I am making a new goal to write once a week.

The Wilson Family started just over a year ago, September 23, 2011 to be exact. I can't believe I have been married for a year already. It feels like I have known Mike forever. Mike fell into routine with us so well it feels as though he has been with us for much longer. The boys love him and have so much fun with their new Dad.He has been such a blessing for all of us.

What once was broken has been mended and we are a family that will be united forever on earth and in the Heavens. Bound together by love, devotion, and promise. I have been so richly blessed!

Jaren's Prayer

February 2012

Jaren's prayer was so darling tonight. I didn't want to forget it so I am writing it down.

Jaren: Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for this wonderful day and help us all learn about the gospel. Please help the kids in my class tomorrow be surprised about my rain-stick that I made, the one that is right here beside me in my hand.

Thank you for the earth that you made for us. Thank you that we are a family and together. Help us all sleep good and that we don't have bad dreams tonight. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Sleeping In

 January 2012

It is Friday night about 10 o'clock. I am explaining to the kids that tomorrow is Saturday and Mom and Dad really want to sleep in so when they wake up in the morning they can play Wii, get something to eat and leave us alone for a bit.

Jaren: Unless there is a fire huh Mom? Then I can come get you.

Mom: Yes, if there is a fire, please come get me

Jaren: Or if we need an ambulance right Mom?

Mom: Yes, please come get me if you are in need of an ambulance.

Ozzy: Or if the Aliens come huh Mom...
