Lots of Fun...

WARNING: PICTURE OVERLOAD

As soon as our family reunions started, I got two, sweet cold sores on my lips, so it makes me look like i have red lipstick on just the front of my lips.
We tried to get a couple family pictures and these were the best we got. It took a lot of entertainment to get both boys looking forward and smiling. They are so cute!

The kids loved being with family and playing outside all day. It was so fun to spend time with family we haven't seen in too long.

Trav is a funny boy. If he ever sees an open car door he runs towards it with a huge grin on his face and climbs in. For some reason, he loves playing in any car. In the picture above he put the seat belt on himself. Tann loved roasting marshmallows. He would sit forever with his marshmallow out, not realizing it wasn't close enough to cook.

We spent a lot of time in the spa. This is Aubs with Amy (my sister) and her kids.

Aubree got the first haircut of her life. My sister, Jackie cut her hair. It makes her look too old.AFTER

The Wilson Family

My parents and their 14 grandchildren.

Just the original Wilsons.

Cute picture except that my oldest brother Tom looks dumb.

My brother Steve and his family.

The unmarried kids. I love that my Dad sneaked into their picture.

My sister Amy's family.

Some of the older grandkids. Aubree was in heaven playing with her friends all day, everyday for 2 weeks.

Another try at a family pic. Tanner was tired of pictures. My brother Tom and his family.

Love this pic of Trav. He is with his cousin Taylor that he loves. TayTay was one of his first words.

Trav eating cereal. I love that he has corn flakes on his forehead.

More Trav. He is into organizing stuff. For some reason he thought he needed to carry all of the noodles around.

Eric is so cute! It was so great to have him around all of the time for 2 weeks. Our time with him around is coming to an end with him starting school on the 10th.

Tanner has the cutest personality. He is so friendly to everyone. I love this picture of him with his sun hat on.

We went with Amy and her family to Hogle Zoo. The kids loved it, but it was too hot. The picture above is Aubs at the discovery/park area.

Trav being a boy. For some reason, he need to make a pile of dirt.

I like this pic Eric took of me with Trav. Our kids are so squeezable! I love 'em. I didn't get a family picture for my sister Jackie. I did have this cute picture of her massaging my Aunt Jody's scalp. Jackie gave every girl in our family a haircut. She is always serving people.

Doesn't get much cuter than this. Eric took all the kids for rides on my Grandpa's 4-wheeler. Tanner and Travis giggled the whole time.

Tanner was the biggest fish. By the end of this reunion he could jump off the diving board and go down the slide by himself. He even did it a couple times without a life jacket. Tann was in heaven.

Aubs loved swimming too, but she wanted to be holding onto one of us.

We had the opportunity to go to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House. It was really beautiful. Tanner during the movie before the tour. He is so handsome!

We are in Wenatchee for another week and then we will be in Spokane finally unpacking our house and playing as much as we can till Eric starts school. It has been so fun being in Wenatchee. Eric's mom spoils the kids. When they weren't feeling too good before our vacation, she rubbed their feet with lotion every night. The kids love their Grandma.

Summer!

We have been having a great summer. Our move went good last week and we are excited to get unpacked and settled. I started this post last week, but didn't get it edited. We are now in Island Park at a family reunion and I figured if I didn't just post these pictures then it would be way too much stuff to post for after our vacation. We are headed to Utah for next week. We are all really tired already, but we're having a lot of fun. My whole family was together for the first time in over a year and a half. I will post the pics later.

Aubree always request her Grandma Nygard to make her "dirt" cups with gummy worms. (that is what Trav has on his face in the picture above.

The kids love ice cream cones. Travis especially loves them. I got a few really cute pictures of him with his ice cream cones.

Tanner goes 100mph all of the time and fell in the tub. He didn't need stitches, but got a good black eye.

Eric went swimming with the kids.

Handsome Tanner with his ice cream cone.

Love this picture!

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all. Especially Eric, my Dad and Eric's Dad. We are blessed with really special Dad's and it was fun to celebrate them today. The kids and I got up and made Eric a special breakfast of blueberry pancakes. We got Eric a little keychain/digital viewer so he can have pictures of the kids while he is gone at school. I wanted a picture of the kids for the main picture when he turned it on. The boys were already eating, so these were the best I got.

Travis is looking so old.
Tanner's so cute!
We have been in Wenatchee for the last week and the kids are in heaven. They live outside here. They have a huge garden with fresh strawberries. Anyways, we are moving from Cheney to Spokane this week. Some of our friends from Pullman haven't been able to sell their house, so they are allowing us to rent from them for the next year, so housing has worked out really well for us. We are excited for Eric to be minutes from school and to be in Spokane.

This week we celebrated Aubree's anniversary of when she was sealed to our family. She was so cute when she would tell people why it was her anniversary and that she got to go to the temple with her Mom and Dad. Aubree is such a blessing in our life. She is such a special and mature girl. We are so thankful that Heavenly Father blessed us with each one of our miracles and with being a family forever.

Love this girl!

18 Months!

Love this little boy! Travis turned 18 months this week. He is now officially going to nursery. He doesn't love it yet, but he will stay there without crying too much. I have to have Eric take him. I have a hard time leaving him. It is so wierd not to have another kids to take care of at church. I am going to have to learn how to listen again.

Travis got into my mom's little planter garden and was sitting in the dirt. I didn't get the camera fast enough to get a picture before he climbed out. He loves being outside.

Trav loves swimming in the little pool and is growing up to fast. He vocabulary is growing everyday. He LOVES Aubs and Tanner and loves following them around the house while they play.

We have been going to the park everyday after naps and the kids love it. It is so nice to be able to get outside. It gets hard for me when they all want to get pushed in the swings. I just go down the line, pushing them each, over and over.

Tanner is such a sweet boy. He is so friendly and out going. When we go grocery shopping he says HI to everyone we see. He calls anyone that looks older "Grandma". It makes their day.

The annual Liberty Lake Garage sales were this weekend and my sister and I sold a bunch of out stuff. I sold our couch and kitchen table and got new ones. We bought some treats so Aubree and her cousins could do a little store to earn money. Aubs loved it and I wish I would've gotten a picture of her working her store. She made around $20 and bought her own slippers, new baby stroller, a doll, and some other random stuff. She was in heaven.

6 YEARS!

Yesterday, Eric and I celebrated our 6th Anniversary.

With high school graduations and planning receptions, we happened to get married on a Thursday. It was really cool to be the only couple married that day at the Spokane Temple. It was fun to be babied and to have all of the workers taking care of us. The day was perfect. It was so sunny and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. I remember being really emotional. I cried when I walked into the celestial room to meet Eric and then cried again when we walked into the Sealing room and then cried again when it was time to be married. There really isn't anything better than marrying the right person in the right place at the right time.

Eric planned a little excursion for us and it was really fun to be able to get away and focus on each other for a while. My parents gave us a Gift Certificate they had won to a nice hotel downtown Spokane. We drove to Pullman and got a bunch of WSU Track & Field stuff, then we went to the temple, and then went to Land of the Lost (don't watch it!). We really appreciated my mom and Mary watching the kids and for the gift certificate.

As we were driving to Pullman, a Brad Praisley song called Then came on, and it explained so much how I feel about Eric. I thought I loved Eric then, but it is so cool how much that love changes and grows. We have been given the opportunity to experience things that have helped us learn things and appreciate things in ways we wouldn't have otherwise. I am so grateful for how it has strengthened our friendship and our marriage. Eric is the best husband and the only person that could handle being married to me. He is a patient man. I am so thankful to be married to my best friend and to be able to raise a family with him. Eric is wonderful!

I found our wedding album and scanned a bunch of the pictures in. I need to get all them digitalized (is that how you say it?). It wierd to think we got married before digital cameras were used too much. It is fun to see how much our families have grown up.

Eric's Siblings (minus brother on mission)I love Eric's face in this picture. He looks so cute!
