Texas and Stuff

Well, we finally made it to Texas and have been here a week. It is such a nice area and we are definitely enjoying the warmer weather and pools at our apartments. They have a kiddie pool that has a sandy beach for the kids to play in, so I am sure we will be spending a lot of time there. We have had quite the eventful month this past month. We visited Utah for a few days on our drive to Texas and stopped in Albuquerque for a few days to visit my grandparents. We also visited the ER a couple times too! Jaxon first somehow got the hook of a hanger stuck in his eye while my mom and I were shopping. It was terrifying, but his eye is ok...no pictures of that injury. Three days later in Utah he fell in my brothers garage and hit his head on the corner of some scrap wood, so we ended up in the ER with a few stitches on that one. Other than that we enjoyed making our way to Texas. We were able to go to Wheeler Farms and the Aquarium in Utah. Here are a few of the latest pics.

And thats how Crew spent most of his time at Wheeler Farms.

The boys-well mostly Crew enjoying some ice cream after going out for some mexican food in Dallas.


Toppin off our first weekend in Dallas with some hot tub fun....check out Crews mischievous face!

It's been way too long.

I'm pretty sure the very few readers I did have, have given up on my blog. But, here I go anyways...These last few months have been busy and full of change for us. Lets start off with January....Crew turned 2, and he is busy as ever! He is into everything! I am CONSTANTLY finding him with lotion, shampoo, hair gel, toothpaste etc. smeared all over his body. We tested out finger paints with the two of them and it soon turned into body paint (pictures below). It's a good thing Crew has the looks and personality, he is just too cute to get too mad at! February....Jaxon turned 4. He is preschool and loving it. He gave his first talk in church a few weeks ago and did great. When Mike told him to say "our prophet today is Thomas S. Monson" it came out "our prophet today is Thomas S. Monster" I thought MIke would never recover to help him finish the talk. I am trying not to be too long winded but there has also been some changes in the Wilder home. Mike has the opportunity to be a owner in a pest control company and quit his job...crazy, I know. But I am finally feeling good about things and looking forward to this adventure. Well, that about all for now...here are some pictures of recent happenings in our house.






These were just too cute not to post...



The boys love finding new hiding spots in the house. By the way those are Jaxon's "rocket boots"-they make him fly just in case you were wondering.
P.S. My boys hate clothes. That is what they look like 90% of the time at home.

This is how we spent our New Years Eve...

Hula hooping on the wii... And here it is for your viewing pleasure. (unfortunately it is sideways, but i had to post it)

Christmas in a nutshell

I have tons of pictures to post so I won't bore you with too many details, but here is a little recap of our Christmas break:

I FINALLY got a camera before we left for Christmas
We went to Utah for Christmas
We took Jaxon sledding and he couldn't get enough of it and shocked us all-he was quite the dare devil, going down backwards, laying down...it was fun.
Santa came to Grandmas house on Christmas Eve and Jaxon was in absolute shock, he didn't move or speak for a few minutes...just stared.
We had a great Christmas with all of our families, saw some movies, played games and ate lots of good food.

Sledding with Aunt Lauri, Uncle JD and Grandpa

Christmas Day- Jaxon was in heaven with cars, airplanes, and trains. Crew just wanted to eat all the food from everyones stocking, and Mike got a snuggie...he was thrilled.

Today was not my day

I had a great meal planned for today. Some cranberry glazed pork chops, cheesy potatoes, and fresh green beans. To my disappointment, the pork got overcooked and turned out dry and the potatoes got undercooked and were a little crisp. My kids ended up eating dino nuggets cause the meat was so tough. But guess what? They still think I'm pretty cool, in fact they probably enjoyed the dino nuggets more than if the meal had turned out. Cranberry glazed pork...not my thing. But I can make some pretty sweet Dino Nuggets!

Thought I would share

Just found a new favorite design site. It may be old news to some people, but I'm loving it. Its called the The Inspired Room. I put a link on the right side of my blog, so check it out if thats your kind of thing. I love finding new sites like this that can get the creativity flowing again so I thought some of you would appreciate it. I liked this post

Halloween and stuff

I am horrible at keeping this current. Most people have probably given up on my blog, except grandparents. :) But here are some pictures of Halloween and a few random ones of the boys hanging out in their tent watching a movie and eating snacks-there will probably be a lot of that this winter. Jaxon was Buzz Lightyear for Halloween and the costume was hilarious, he was in love with it. Crew was a cute little tiger, although he was not too fond of wearing it.
