Artist in the making...

Today I let Jaxon try painting for the first time. We did watercolor paints and acrylics. I was pleasantly surprised because he is not really a fan of coloring, but he could not get enough of the paints. I guess he just needs a blank canvas so his creativity can flow. Here are a few action shots.


The masterpieces...


One last picture..Mikes family was here this past weekend and I got ready one morning and walked out of my room and Cindy saw me and started to laugh. She took me out in the living room and there was Aly wearing the same thing...We buy a lot of the same clothes so it was bound to happen. Whenever we go shopping together we will go off and look by ourselves and then when we find eachother we will be holding many of the same clothing items.

Seven Quirks

I was tagged to post seven quirks about myself.

1. I hate feet. I will not touch and I HATE to be touched by anyones bare feet. It makes me cringe. They are disgusting. I think you get the point.

2. I love pretty much everything from the 80's. Ok well not everything, but i do love 80's music and movies. They are the best. My husband gets really annoyed with all my 80's mixes, he thinks they are terrible.

3. I constantly am re-arranging things in my house. It a little bit of an obsession. The thing is, most people would never know because most of the time, after I have moved things like fifty times I end up putting things back where they were to begin with cause thats where I like it best. But I do obsess about it until I am completely happy with how I have arranged them. I know...probably a complete waste of time, but what can you do?

4. I cannot handle loud eaters...smacking..chomping...it drives me nuts. I'm kind of the same way with little repetitive noises or movements...like when someone next to you moves their leg, or taps a pen...ok I am done. I think that was like five things in one.

5. I want dessert or a treat every night. I always need something sweet after I eat. I don't know if this qualifies as a quirk, but we are counting it.

6. I have been known to break out in really weird spastic dances. I have toned it down in my old age, but anyone that really knows me (my college roomates) can attest that this is true-Greta made me put this one.

7. I check that the doors are locked like fifty times before I go to bed. Its weird...I know they are locked but I always check again, just to make sure

Well there you have it...7 quirks. I tag Steff, Michelle, and Raschell

Last few months

I haven't posted anything too great recently. I am terrible at taking my camera places. But here are a couple of the very few I have taken the past little while...

Not too thrilled about going on a walk

So happy about all the toys!

The boys decked out in their Dolphins gear for the game...they are Mikes favorite team (lets hope they do a little better this season than last year...)

Had to do this

You Are Ariel!

Headstrong and fiesty. You have a mind of your own that's full of romantic dreams about the world around you. Exploring exotic places is your ultimate dream, and although you can be a little naive you'll realize that there is something to be gained from your family's wisdom.

Which Disney Princess Are You?

Jackson Hole

Went to Jackson this past weekend. My brother was in a bike race called the Lotoja and rode over 200 miles in 10 hours! So we met him at the finish line along with my parents and my grandparents. Don't have a ton of pics (surprise surprise) but here are a few.

A little update

I realize I haven't posted in awhile. Not that we haven't been up to anything, I just am really bad at taking my camera places. I need to work on that. So, a little recap of the last few weeks...

~Grandma and Grandpa Wilder came for a visit and we had so much fun with them
~Aunt Aly came the next weekend..both visits were way too short
~Crew had his 6 month appointment, although now he is almost 7 months. But he weighed in at 15 pounds 14 ounces and 26 inches long.
~Crew has been crawling for almost a month now
~He is about the happiest baby out there and LOVES to follow Jaxon around, and Jaxon loves to play with him.
~ We had our first family picture taken. Check em out on Meegans photography blog. She does such a great job!

Here are some pictures I snapped of the boys this morning




Don't worry...Crew could breathe while Jaxon was holding him ! :)
