I met the Wilson Twins

I finally met my nieces! They are so beautiful and sweet and such a blessing to their parents. I love how unique they both are and how much personality they already have. Elise is definitely more laid back and works hard to do what she's supposed to whereas Ava would love nothing more than to do what she's supposed to but she just can't make it work out like that all the time. They are both precious and so cute and cuddly.

Ava, hanging out, wondering probably who's going to hold her next.

Elise, when she's asleep, boy, she's asleep!

Ava on the left and Elise on the right. I believe Ave is telling Elise "if you would just learn to keep your paci in your mouth everything would be just fine".


This is Autum's "you better not mess with me today" face.

My cuz and me





So a very rare event happened..... Sharon and I were both visiting our sisters in Illinois at the same time and we all got to get together including the kids AND these are the only pictures I have to show for it. looks pathetic, but when grown ups are outnumbered 2 to 1 and the oldest child is 3 it starts to make sense :)

Artwork

Refrigerator art,.... much easier clean up than wall art.... let's hope it never comes to that!
I had just finished Autumn's bath when Alexander came to me to say "hey mom, want to see my alien?" then ta da, he showed me his masterpiece. I would have taken a picture of him next to it giving me a thumbs up, but i thought that might send the wrong message. :) Instead i scolded him and sent him off to the bathtub so i coud take a picture without him knowing.

Before......

After!

Autumn had a great time catching beads.

I just love those chunky legs. If they were only as cute on me :)

Alexander learns to ride his bike.












Aunt Kim and Uncle Charlie gave Alexander this bike over the summer and when he first got in his legs really weren't quite long enough to pedal all the way around. Since then we had convinced him to get on it maybe twice but to no avail. The other day one of the older boys that lives in the circle that Alexander loves to hang out with was riding his new bike so I convinced him to get his "big boy" bike out onto the circle and after a few seconds I let go and that was all it took. He thought he was something else.
