Thanks

Over the last few days I have been so blessed by so many people. I have decided that some thanks are in order.
To my Grandpa Kaiserman- THANK YOU for being so sweet and giving me some extra spending money for NYC. You take such good care of me and my family and I love you.
To my most favorite Andra and Ryan- THANK YOU for a ticket to The Lion King!!!!! I am so excited to go and have that experience. Without you, I'm sure I would have missed out. You two are some of the most generous people I know, and I love you.
To The Buckle- They exchanged a pair of Silver jeans that I bought at the end of last July that prematurely got a hole in them for no reason. Even though I had them for several months, they exchanged them for a brand new pair of jeans. I will FOREVER shop there for pants!
To my fabulous Mother-In-Law Kristie- THANK YOU for taking care of my sweet William while I am gone on my trip. I know that he will love you by the end, I just hope that you'll still love him.
I am leaving on my trip in about 12 hours, and the butterflies are very present in my belly. I have dreamed about this trip for years, and I am so grateful to my wonderful husband for encouraging me to go. I'll be back with a million pictures to share with you all! Thanks for everyone's help in getting me there- it seems like it has been a group effort. Love, Love.

Because I'm Addicted

It seems that over the past few days a million things have gone through my mind that I have wanted to blog. So, here is my list of things I'm thinking about lately:
1. The Host- I finished it a few days ago and loved it. Team Ian people, Team Ian.
2. What's better in New York, pizza or hot dogs?
3. Dallas' cousin Cole and his wife Chrissy have been visiting this week, and Grandma has been entertaining us (as is her specialty). We went to Sundance and rode the tram, shopped at the outlet mall, played cards, and we just can't stop eating.
4. Go Celtics! Serves you right Kobe, you cocky jerk.
5. Dallas is the best Dad ever- Will and I are so lucky. Even though I pretty much spaced Father's Day, he didn't even mind. I made it up to him with a nice shirt.
6. My father in law is the best! He is turning into a farmer, and he even named one of his goats Sam just for me.
7. My Dad has the best singing voice. I love his rendition of "Mimi With The Light Brown Hair". I'm pretty sure it's one of a kind.
8. Will has been jumping (so funny!) and can now count to 2. Miracle of Miracles!
9. I just bought the cutest sandals from BCBGMaxazria.
10. The Bachelorette. I love, love, love it right now. I hope Deanna picks Jason, becasue he is the sweetest. Graham is gorgeous. Jesse is fun, but just a friend. Jeremy is great, but kind of too serious.

Ben and Maggie Hansen

Last Saturday Dallas and I went to the most incredible wedding we will ever, ever go to. No lie. His best friend Ben Hansen married his long time sweetheart Maggie Diamond at The LaCaille. The best part about the wedding (and trust me, it was very hard to choose a best part) was Maggie's DRESSES. Yes, that is plural. She was married in her Mother's dress, and then changed for the reception into her own wedding dress. The were both beyond description. Here are some pictures. You HAVE to double click on them to enlarge so you can really see.

This was her mother's dress. Maggie looked like some old school actress- my Grandma and I decided she looked like Greta Garbo.

This is HER dress. Oh my goodness. There are no words. I'm 99% sure this dress cost more than any wedding I have ever attended. Unbelievable.
Someone once told me that perfection is in the details (I believe it was Aimiee Geddes). That is how this wedding was- it was all about every little detail. From the little blue butterfly pinned to the back of her mother's dress when they were married, to the tiny pearls inside each flower on the cake. Here is a slideshow- I know it won't do it justice, but you can get the idea. I feel bad for anyone getting married that I know in the near future because their wedding will be compared to this:

Race

Will has become obsessed with the movie Cars- as most little boys his age do. The first thing he says to me in the morning when he gets up (after "Hi Mama") is "watch vroom". He has learned from the movie that cars race. It is so funny to watch his little hands race his cars and hear him make his car noises. (He has a lot of them. Sometimes it makes me nervous that he is going to burst some blood vessels he gets so into it). Here he is at his finest:

Miles Bradley Robinson

My Aunt Jenn had her baby! Her baby boy, Miles, was born at 11:09 AM and weighed 6 lbs 4 oz and is 18 inches long. He is adoreable! He has been having some trouble regulating his oxygen levels and so he has had to be in the NICU since he was born. He is doing well, and they are hoping to take him home in a couple days. We were so happy that we could go to Logan and visit with Jenn. I got to scrub in and hold little Miles and give him some kisses. He is such a sweet boy! He is so cute with his dark hair (it's a miracle he has hair in that family!). I can't wait to see them again. Congratulations Jenn and Brad- he is adoreable.

Girls Day at Gardner Village

Last Saturday was girls day with the Wilson side! My Mom does it every year. We get to have lunch and a day of fun on her. We went to Gardner Village and had lunch at Archibalds, and then roamed the shops. I love being with my Mom and my sisters and I feel so lucky to have them in my life. Thanks to my wonderful hubby for tending Will so I could have a day off.

Cami and Lauren- Lauren begged for a chocolate dessert. It was so cute when she said it was "delicious" in that 2 year old voice.

My beautiful sister-in-law Kaydee and myself. She is due to have a baby girl next month and we couldn't be more thrilled! Get ready baby TeAnna...

Our little "pimpus". (That's how Lauren says "princess" and it's hysterical!)

To The Ladies

Over the last few months I have been re-watching all of Grey's Anatomy with my Aunt-in-law Jenn and Jenn's cousin Kathryn (I guess to me she would be something along the lines of a great cousin-in-law). It has been so much fun! We haven't been doing it for over a month now, but I just wanted to tell those girls how much I miss it. Thanks for making my week more fun with lots of laughs, and even some tears. Love you so.

Jordan and Liesel Steele

Two temples, two receptions, and over 480 miles later, the wedding of the year is over! It was so beautiful, but I'm pretty sure everyone involved was sufficiently wiped out by the end. It started with endowments in Logan on the 29th, ceremony in Manti and reception in Price on the 30th and a reception in Heber on the 31st. We are glad Will (or Dallas) didn't kill anyone by the end (poor guys- they just don't understand weddings). Liesel was a striking bride, and Liesel and Jordan are the cutest couple. The ceremony was absolutely beautiful and we feel so blessed to be able to share in that special time. What wonderful blessings are in store for them! The black and white theme turned out great, and we had a lot of fun along the way. For some reason I haven't been able to get the slideshow to work.

Moab 2008

Dallas, Will, Dallas' little brother Beau, and I spent the Memorial Day weekend in Moab, UT. While it seemed the rest of Utah dealt with rainstorms, we had perfect weather! It was mid 70's and partly cloudy the whole weekend. Not too hot, not too cold. We had so much fun being able to do whatever we wanted while we were there- since it was just the 4 of us, it was easy to decide on something. Here are some of the highlights:

Beau doing wheelies on the Hell's Revenge trail. He only rolled the wheeler twice that whole trail. Ha ha!

Dallas and Will riding in the water on Hell's Revenge.

Hiking to Delicate Arch. I even took a turn carrying our little man.

Two of my very favorite things.

Our Family.

Campfires! It wouldn't be Memorial Day without a hot dog.

Cutest brother-in-law ever. We kept calling Will "Beau" all weekend... oops.

Dallas can climb that- Pritchet Trail.

I can climb, too. Don't you love the "cherry" helmet? So sweet.

Our man-made-winch that was made of tow strap, Dallas and Aaron- Pritchet Trail.

My new favorite trail, the Moab Rim Trail. Lots of hills, lots of slick rock.

Will and I hiking down Moab Rim Trail. Will didn't want to ride anymore- he just wanted a nap.

If you don't know him by now...

Will was tagged by little Mollie Bradley, so here are 8 things you may or may not know about our little guy.
1. Will has been making car sounds since he was about 6 months old. His Grandma Kristie bought him a little playschool truck, and it was all over since then. Now he makes a plethora of vehicle sounds, and they are usually different for each type.
2. Will used to have eczema really bad on his face when he was a baby. When he was only about 2 1/2 months old he scratched it so bad that half of his forehead was scratched off. It was so SAD! Thankfully he now only has eczema on his legs, and it is pretty easy to control.
3. Will can count to one. I know, we are so proud.
4. When we sing "Old McDonald" the only animal Will wants to sing about is a horse. He will even say it and make the sounds.
5. Will has a temper. (He gets it from his Mom. I wish I could blame it on Dallas, but I can't). When he gets mad, whatever is in his hands will get thrown. Always.
6. Will is obsessed with belly buttons. Much to the dismay of his sweet friend McKenzie, he looks for them on other people. He doesn't understand what "inappropriate" means yet. We hope he will soon, but for now it's just cute.
7. When Will was born, I thought he was HUGE. All of our family outside of the room were expecting some monstrous child because they kept hearing me say how huge he was. It turns out he was only 7 lbs 12 oz.
8. When Will was finally named, I found out from Dallas' friend's parents. Dallas refused to talk about names we would name our baby until he saw him. (Really, really frustrating for me). Dallas was leaving the hospital to let our dogs out and ran into the Hansen's and told them that he was named "William Bentley Nicoll". They told me when they came to say hi and meet our new boy. Good thing I liked it!
