New Avery Pictures

Avery is growing up so quickly. She turns 4months old today.  She is still a very cute and very adorable baby - even though she is juicy.  She continues to be the perfect sleeper [knocking on wood] and is always ready to give someone a smile.  I would estimate that she has been held by more than 100 people in her young little life - part of that is her parent's willingness to let anyone and everyone hold her and part of that is because she's so easy to smile at and love.  And she'll happily return those smiles.  








Fall Fashions

Crystal recently took her Girls' Trip to Salt Lake and came back with some new brown ties for Cade and Kellen.  Dad decided to match them with one of his own brown ties and we had a photo shoot in our backyard after church last Sunday.  Thankfully we had one last sunny Sunday this fall to take these pictures.  The first one is a little fuzzy, but my favorite.  Why is it my favorite?  I don't know, I guess I just like Cade's natural smile and Kellen's enthusiasm.







Kellen's First Day of School

Well, and the third day too!
Kellen was more than a little excited to go to school.  He often wakes up early on his school days and is excited to be one of the big kids.  He has had fun coloring the pictures and being with one of his buddies in class.  He likes taking his shoulder bag with him and of course, as soon as he chose that bag, both Cade and Gabby said, "Ohhh, but I wanted to use that one."  You'd think they didn't have their own backpacks.

First Day of School

Cade and Gabby ready to head out for the first day of school.  Cade hits third grade and Gabby starts all-day school in first grade.  They are both in 1-2-3 classes and are in adjoining pods so they can keep a lookout for each other.  They both have lots of friends in their classes and like their teachers.


This is the crowd the kids hang with at the busstop in the mornings.  

California Reunion

Since there was a Women's Outing and Men's Outing (the men's outing was significantly cooler, once again, than the women's outing - we nearly killed someone on our outing) the kids decided they deserved an outing of their own.  So with some moderate supervision they walked around the corner and all but the 3 youngest came home with enough ice cream to feed 4x that many kids.  


Here are the adults - and look we're still talking to each other! Even after 7 days and 21 people crammed into one house.  While the digs were a little small, it's hard to complain about the location when the beach is literally less than 100yds from the front door.  Plus there was tons of good food.  We Wilsons are good and dandy so long as we get enough food and sleep.

Obama Indoctrination

I hope my kids are all indoctrinated today by Pres. Obama
