Wee Whimsical Wilson Wife Writes

Today John was accepted into the Information Systems Major program in the Marriott School of Business at Brigham Young University. Go John! I am so proud of you! John has put a great effort into his grades and his application. He is a loving and nurturing father to our son Thomas, and he also enjoys hiking, biking, singing, fixing things around the house and making movies. John I love you so much- you are the best husband ever.

The next place our adventures took us was back to Jana's house, and we got to spend some time with Dan. He showed us his airplanes and fun man p rojects (which the guys enjoyed) and John got some stuff out of storage like his bow and arrow, his .22, and his bikes, which were also fun. Uncle Richard and Grandpa Harrison provided live enterta inment that rivaled the cousins (meaning that we had good conversations and laughed a lot). During the rest of the week we spent time with them and each of John's sisters. Sarah taught Grandpa how to play Sequence and MariAnn taught us to play Carcassonne. At Leah's we played outside with the kids, and John ran carrying Emily to avoid being tagged by Anthony, which was hilarious to watch. John and I couldn't believe how much the nieces and nephews have all grown, especially Nicholas and Vanessa, but we weren't surprised by their adorableness since we're getting used to hav ing the cutest nieces and nephews in the world ...

After the graduation, Thomas and I flew up to Northern California, and John picked us up on the airport. We had a lovely time with John's dad for the weekend, which was especially nice since it was Father's Day. Our favorite parts of the weekend were going to the Farmer's Market, riding the cable car in San Fransisco and playing water volleyball with Uncle Paul and his family, which was a little crazy, and I found that I'm not as good or as tall as I thought I was. :)

I was able to take Thomas to Southern California for Lou's graduation, which was a very fun trip, and my mom got us all interested in Gone With the Wind which we have now read. It's a deep thoughts type book. Thanks Mom! Karyann was one of the first few people to graduate due to the amazing brains she got between those ears of hers, and so between highest honors and the alphabet, she was ahead of a few hundred people with lesser brainpower. She made us all proud, and looked simply gorgeous as usual! Her party was nice because I threw it, although I hardly did anything, there was so much help. The trip was so fun. Karyann got all ready for college and they shipped her off, and now here she is wreaking havok in Utah, and doing a great job.

California was gorgeous and hot! We had a lot of fun though we a lot of family. It is hard being so far away from everyone, but we are glad to be able to visit. We took some pictures in San Francisco and in Manteca during all of the festivities. It was so good to be with my sisters and their families.

New fun pictures of Thomas!!

The distance between us and many loved ones has necessitated increased long-distance computer communication and so here we are making this blog for the family and close friends! We hope this helps connect Thomas to his Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and cousins. Thomas currently enjoys long walks in the stroller, night-light lit dinners, and sucking his toe. He is very talented when it comes to grabbing things with his hands and pulling them to his mouth. He sleeps with his hands over his head, and spends wakeful moments jumping and bouncing on people's laps. He has been putting on quite a bit of weight lately but his increased height and muscles mass even it out. His favorite toys are plastic rings. Thomas also enjoys kicking, screaming, and standing up while holding onto your thumbs.
