Wee Whimsical Wilson Wife Writes

So UPDATE! I guess I wanted all-caps to make this post sound super exhilerating. Ultrasound today! It's a boy and he looks like John and Thomas so good things to come! He was even awake and kicking, so sports appear on the horizon. Got to check out his big heart, brain hemispheres, bladder, etc. His little fists were tightly together next to his head, isn't that sweet? Thomas played with some ducks and threw bread like it was going out of style. Can I say that? Anyhoo, he ran all over a huge lawn and thought it was the greatest thing. He got along great with my friend's son so it was a relaxing moment for me, and wonderful to catch up with an old friend! Okay, not that old, but it's been a couple months. She is going to have a baby in the next 7 days basically, so that's pretty big news. My favorite thing about trying to tell Tbird about his baby brother is to ask him where the baby is. He pats his chest/stomach and it's awesome! I don't think it...

So Thomas and I returned from California yesterday in time for me to go to Enrichment with some chocolate covered Pineapple and eat much yummy food. It was okay with John to let me go, since he's missed Thomas so badly. The house was completely immaculated. Including the closets. John spent the week decluttering, vacuuming, washing, picking up and organizing. Of course, what husband doesn't do all these things when his wife is away? Oh, and I forgot eating. The only things left in the fridge now are carrots, milk, and duck eggs, along with the condiments in the door shelves. I was sure that T bird reciprocated John's most tenderest feelings, but I must admit to having trouble tapping into them until he arrived to pick us up. Before he could get out of the car, Thomas was yelling, "Daddy!" T bird is learning to talk. It's the craziest thing, but very true. As we walked through the airport at speeds rivaling 11 mph he yelled, "Bo" and "H...

Thomas has finally learned to say boo after 16 months of peek-a-boo lessons!  Although it was my first word, there is only so much you can pass on directly to your children, sigh. The greatest accomplishment t bird is making each day is learning new words.  Yesterday he learned "off," and it was hilarious because the most important thing anyone could ever do in life, of course, is to take off a pen cap for fun over and over, and therefore, he needed to learn the word 'off' so I could cooperate before any screaming ensued.  We enjoyed this pasttime for several seconds before boredom crept into the room and we moved on to banging the keyboard and other lively activities. Tomorrow is the Nestle 5k and Thomas and I are gonna go for it together!  Woohoo!  I hope that I will have better luck than last year at winning something afterward.  Does that sound selfish?  But they have such great prizes and winning is so much fun!  I would love to win a little bike for Thomas.  He ...

I was glad to see my grandparents this weekend putting flowers on headstones nearby.  Thomas was really cute with Grandpa and sat in the car with him gabbing.  It was really low key and informal but really nice.  I learned (or relearned) a tiny bit.  My grandpa that is buried down the street is my great grandma's dad.  I didn't think any of my relatives here were like direct and for-realz relatives, shows you how much I know.  And he had 15 children!  He died in 1911, which comes as a great relief because that is why I don't remember him.  I was thinking how can I not know him?  So that is why we do geneology, right folks? We did the American BBQ tradition and everything, so good job John for lighting the coals and stuff...  We had a fun celebrating John's friend's birthday, eating cake, being sprinkled by sprinklers during dinner at 5pm, etc. Thomas has been enjoying playing outside so much these days I am seriously collecting amazing winter ideas because I can...

Don't forget to vote for my time in the 5k on Saturday!   -----> Here's a spectacular close-up of John, baby T bird, and myself after the race last year!  Awesome news!  Maybe there's some error, but I looked up mine and John's times from last year and the official time record says 36:21.  Now that is funny if it's true.  I feel so encouraged!  I will surely finish in 35 minutes or less, don't you agree?!   So T bird's dear friend who lives across the street has a difficult-for-T bird-to-pronounce name, but he is obsessed with saying it from the time he wakes up until the going down of the sun.  After noticing yesterday the way her name fit into everything I decided to keep a daily count today.  So far we are at 17, and he is taking his afternoon nap.  By the way, I am resisting the urge to also count all the times he says, "Where is she?"  I'm so honest. mmm... rasberry Just a note, but Tahitian Noni fruit chews are addi...

I planning to run the Live wElle 5k and what do you think my time will be? Need extra info before you hit the polls? Last year John and I mostly walked and jogged and finished in 42 minutes. In high school when I was in awesome shape I ran 3 miles in under 25 minutes. This year I've been running, but not every day.  Last week I was sick and I didn't run at all. 

DEAR BLOG Well I have had so much going on I couldn't blog it all, and now here I am with a full life and an empty blog. What a horrible friend I am to you, Dear Blog. Well let's see, for starters I FOUND my ipod which I had lost back in January or February. It was in the pocket of my apron I believe. Found it in the middle of the living room floor all by its lonesome. Bring on running, rocking out in the car, and looking stylish with white headphones coming out my ears! Do I really wear an apron that infrequently?! JOHN was ACCEPTED into the BYU MISM! He is now a MASTER's student! Woot woot! This means for sure we have two years left of school, and our lives are that much less scary and unplanned. He is all registered for classes, and excited to be taking specific and deep love classes instead of random hard and not-his-favorite classes. In other words, he thinks his schedule looks pretty good for the next while. T bird is learning to squeak and squawk all kinds ...
