I must not dust enough...

I must not dust enough because today as I was waving my nifty lamb's wool pouf ball-on-a-stick around T-bird was giggling the whole time!  As if to say, "Mom I have never seen you do that before, it's so silly.  In fact why are you wiping the Piano with it?  Or the TV?  Hahaha. . . this is great!"  Let me tell you I was rethinking my cleaning habits.  It must have left a big impression because my meditations have led me to my blog rather than to my shower...

Okay, I realized that I haven't blogged T's birthday party because I don't have the pictures of the cake, then I realized that I DO have the pictures of the cake.  So view the pictures of the cake below.  Enjoy!

Oh, and I have bad news. . .  We have not been doing our push-ups.  I thought you would make a great fan club but sadly, evenings are not convenient for me and alas, I have no motivation without Mr. Wilson so here I am weak armed typing this to you weakly.  Just wanted to catch you up on that.


Birthday Party

Discussing last minute decorating


This is T's individual cake for demolishing.  Given the circumstances he didn't really need one, but we felt that a 1 year old's first cake wreck is something that must be recorded for family history.



The cake.  I decided on a pirate cake because it was so cute, not because I was really wanting a pirate theme.  Since none of T-birds friends could come because he was sick no one noticed the lack of streamers, and pirate paraphenalia.  The freckles ended up looking like zits, since they're orange.  Since my chocolate icing was expired the pirate was a bit sunburned instead of tan.  I think that's pretty authentic.  I mean, he's new to pirate-hood and in turn, full sun.



I know he's masking his feelings about the cake, but if you look carefully 
you might get an idea of how he really feels.















Special thanks to Jared for taking the pictures!

I can't believe you left out the part of me actually building the cake! That took some real creative effort (I did have a model to work with)...

Sorry I posted as John which isn't a great compliment to him, making him look like a psychitzo.

That's true. John you were amazing. You followed clear verbal plans from a highly detailed and demanding woman on the phone. Under stress of a deadline no less, with a mother-in-law hovering over your shoulder. You should get a prize. Or a present. See today's post for yuletide details.

Baby Spencer!

Spencer David Wilson was born on Monday at 5:42 am, at American Fork Hospital. A few hours later John and I agreed on a name for him at last. He was 7 pounds, 5.2 ounces, and 20 inches long. He has dark fine baby hair. It is so soft! He has a very red complexion compared with Thomas, and a fuller face and darker hair. My mommy has come to take care of me and we are having a great time in spite of having a flu bug which has gotten to several people unfortunately, including my mom and my sister and Thomas, but not John, Spencer, or me. Everyone is on the mend so we are praying for no more sickness! I delivered with the Mt. Timpanogos Women's Health Center and Claudia was my midwife, and Joanne was my doula and Kimmi my nurse. Karyann my sister, and John were also there and it was a great experience to have such a devoted team! I can't begin to tell you what a completely different experience it was compared with Thomas' birth. Everyone was emotionally there as well ...

A Pregnant Post by Paige about Pregnancy

Here's the belly progression: 6 Months 8.5 Months Warning! This post may contain personal musings about pregnancy. It may read like a journal. It may contain baby excitement and overall feelings of joy. So I have been stepping on things lately. Mostly toys. How is this possible, you ask? Those of you familiar with my adroit walking skills may be puzzled at this point. I know I was until I took a shower this morning. And I couldn't see my feet at all; not a hint of them, no toes, nothing, not even when leaning forward could I see anything but a belly button sun on the horizon of a large earth belly. And that is why I've been stepping on things. Thomas' toy hammer, a plastic giraffe, the zipper of John's coat . . . The loss of my peripheral vision going down is apparently complete. I can't see where I am stepping! What a frightening feeling. I have also been walking into common household objects with my belly. Doorknobs and chairs. Major medial disco...

Sweepstakes! Paige wins MONEY!!!

Don't you love starburst? http://www.starburst.com/ Yes, this is a promotional blog entry because of how much I love my Grandma and Grandpa, Pinatas and, Starburst! Oh, and money. Once upon a time in the summer of 2009, Paige went on a family reunion trip to the middle of nowhere after which reunion John blogged about life preservers on horseback. (Follow links on the right to read John's blog) Before we returned home to the safety of our own life jacket-less lives, we enjoyed a pinata with the cousins. Hiding behind the tree from which the pinata swung violently, I safely would look out for breakage in the pinata and subsequent candy wreakage on the grass beneath. Finally my moment arrived! Among the 20 grandchildren or so present, I dove into the mass of cousin arms and legs and grabbed at all candy visible and invisible (the candy under Colton when he decided to lay on the stash for its protection). I realize now that the failures of my youth to gather pinata can...
