Wee Whimsical Wilson Wife Writes

Here are some Luke and family pictures: Luke lounging Swaddle Me! Leaving the hospital in his Seeya Later Alligator shirt While Daddy fixed the TV, the two boys jumped up there and started singing and having a party. My boys!

I am so excited about this little dino I made: Say hello to a quick and easy birthday present for a 2 year old. They said not to bring a gift, but I had to make a little doodah. I'm not happy with his head but perhaps there will be more little stegosaurus' in our future. Ones with shorter necks. Sorry I haven't blogged in like, forever, but I'm having trouble uploading pictures and who wants to hear me talk about Luke? Let's be honest, you just want to see him. Well I'm on it. More to come! Love, Paige

I will soon be posting pictures of the ring sling I sewed today as well as the boy shorts I made for Thomas out of an old dress shirt! Hurray! Projects being completed = baby coming soon!

Dear Baby, As you get bigger and bigger you are becoming more and more real to me with your little knees morphing my belly as you roll around and wiggle your feet in my perfect little mommy cradle of squishiness. Since you are expected to arrive inside a month I'm getting so excited! There's no real way of knowing when you'll come, so there's no real point in counting down to the exact day, so I say- we've arrived! This is it! You're coming soon, and however long you take it will be soon. Since I have plenty of things left to do to prepare for your arrival I can wait a few more weeks. Here they are: Install carseat into car with doll in it to give your brothers fair warning that you are coming Cook a bunch of freezer meals for desperate times Find my baby clothes and wash them for you Find a place for baby clothes to go in our house Sew at least 2 baby carriers Order muslin blankets online and decide if we're really going with white Buy a diaper or two ...

So lately I've been cutting off pants to make shorts and trying to find other ways to invent Dallas-friendly clothing from a waste-not want-not perspective. Here are a few projects to show you so far: This dress is not a maternity dress But this skirt is, complete with yoga band top! This cute romper was given to me by my lovely and generous cousin Belinda I cut off the bottom and hemmed the shirt part. It was so fun! Handsome My impatient midnight oil picture version Handsome #2 wanted a modelling gig too So I've been brimming with excitement and impatience to sew a pair of pants like Dana's on Dana-made-it and finally I got a chance! I used the scrap material from a pair of Old Navy maternity pants from when I was pregnant with Thomas that I cut into shorts for myself. And then I sewed them into these handsome church slacks . Unfortunately they're a little short. He wore them a couple times and they are altogether too small, but it was an adv...

What am I the most proud of in my life? I'm not sure, but I adore my husband and what a great man he is. I remember considering marrying him and wondering what kind of person he would really be. What choices would he make? Could I even cook food he'd enjoy? It's not like you can just click forward, watch a few days of life with him as a dad, as a husband, see his future job and then say, "I'll take it." That's the beauty of life and the faith of marriage. I still believe marriage is what you make of it. John graduated with both his Bachelor's and Master's degrees in April, we relocated to Texas for John's first full-time job a couple days later, not to mention we are expecting another boy, and then drum-roll . . . the week after we moved we celebrated our five year wedding anniversary. I can't help feeling like this is a five-year summation, a this-is-it, this is the completion of your five-year plan. This is our marriage. This...

Welcome to little Provo! We are enjoying Texas and getting all "settled" I suppose. I want to giggle every time someone asks me that because every person I meet eventually says, "So, are you getting all-settled, then?" Daily. I'm serious. I love wood playgrounds! There are some great parks near our house as well as shopping, groceries mainly come to mind, but other shopping is close as well. Tree-lined streets? Beautiful weather? I know summer will come, and soon, and then I will be barricading myself into my air conditioned tree house but until then the windows are open and the breeze is my friend. Why little Provo you ask? We live in a new community full of relocators, yes that's a new word, and most of the Latter-day Saint members have moved here from BYU. So of all the moms I meet, a large majority of them graduated from BYU a few years back as well and they are welcoming and friendly. A nice surprise. Thomas and Spencer are meeting many new ...
