U of A Game

Jodie Coleman used to be the UofA mascot and each homecoming she is invited to come back and do a quarter of the game. So when she told us she was coming to Arizona and doing that Stuart and I thought it would be a blast to join in. So we got ourselves all packed up and drove to Tucson for a good game. Just to explain the kind of game it was UofA returned the kickoff for a touch down. 42 UofA to 6 Washington State - Thanks Jodie for a great weekend!!

Camie's Track Meet

This is my little sister Camie. She is so awesome! She runs cross country (something I could NEVER do) and she does it well. She went to an invitational and there were over 100 girls that she competed against. She got 18th!! I mean seriously, that is so awesome. They were running up and down hills and I was running straight across the golf course to try and get her pictures and she beat me when running all the way around and I was cutting through the middle. She is fast! I'm so proud of you little sister! I love you so much. Keep on going. You're amazing!

Here are some fun pictures that I just couldn't pass up to put on the blog.

Camping in October

What kid does not enjoy camping? I think Jaxon experienced a little bit of heaven this last weekend. Quads and Rhino's, guns and motorcycles. What more could a little boy ask for? Here are some fun pictures of our weekend getaway.

Shaylee (2 years) loving on Ginny (7 months) - She loves babies!

Thanks Daddy for the fun trip. It was so wonderful to get away!

What's New?!

Ginny is 6 months old now and has started eating solids. She does not like it very much. It is really a bummer because she will only nurse so I'm feeling a little like a cow at the moment. But it is nice that she nurses so great so I guess I cannot complain. Ginny is also sitting up. I love it and she loves it. She loves just being able to absorb all that is going on around her. She is so fun. I really enjoy this age. For me this is when the fun begins!

Brynn and Ginny sitting up together!

Ginny at the movies with Stuart and I. She loved sitting in the big chair and being able to watch the lights on the big movie!

Jaxon being his crazy and fun self. I just love this kid. He really is a joy!

5 Wonderful Years

Stuart and I had our 5 year anniversary on September 1st. First of all I cannot believe that we have been married for 5 years. Seriously though, we have had such a wonderful 5 years. We never had the "hard first year" of marriage like many people tell you about. We just mesh well together. To be honest the only thing that we really argue about is which family we are going to be with on holidays. We have gotten much better about compromising and switching off years but it still is sometimes difficult.

On our anniversary our alarm went off at 5 a.m. just like any other day. Stuart rolled out of bed and quickly turned the alarm off and get ready for work. We said prayers (me mostly asleep like normal) and he left. I woke up at 6:30 and realized that neither of my kids had woken me up. I was so excited. I quickly got dressed and walked out to the front room to read before Jaxon woke up. I walked out and could hear the t.v. on. I thought to myself, what in the world?! Jaxon is up and came out here and turned the t.v. on? (normally, he yells for me to come and allow him to come out of his room. I love it!) When I turned the corner Stuart was sitting there with a big smile on his face. He had gotten up and gone to the store and gotten me flowers and a card (I'm a sucker for a good love letter!) He also went grocery shopping for me too! I mean seriously! It was just what I needed. So we went to the gym together (another favorite thing to do together) and then came home and got ready to go on a date. We went and saw "The Proposal" which I thought was great and then went to dinner. It was one the best days we/I have had in a long time. So overdue.

I love Stuart. I think that I got the better end of the deal in our relationship. He is so wonderful. He works so hard and does so much for our family. Not a day goes by that I don't tell myself that I actually married the man of my dreams. He his a dream come true. Everything I ever hoped for. I really just do my best to keep him falling in love with me.

I love you Stuart, you are my everything!

FOR JODIE!

So our good friend Jodie sent Janae and I these hats when we had our girls only one week apart. The hats finally fit so we took some pictures. (Well as you can see Ginny's hat is a tad bit tighter than Brynn's... what can I say the Wilson's have big headed kids!) They just wanted to grab each others hats/bows. It was so cute! Ginny and Brynn are almost 6 months old! We cannot believe how fast the time goes.

Thanks Jodie for the adorable hats!! You're the best!
