now that i have internet...

i'll start trying to catch up after the big move to cedar city! 1st matter of business - our trip to arches with the Dicous and the Williams' before we left. we seriously had a blast!

we taught the williams' and the dicous how to play settlers. sorry, andrea, but i think this deal is a no go.

the business man in action. he got really mad when he rolled a 7 holding 20+ cards in his hands, but he loved the game. 29th warders - someone invite them over to play!

our hotel room with 3 queen beds. coolests sleepover. ever.

and this video is hilarious. please enjoy our rendition of "how firm a foundation". 11:45 pm and counting.

presenting Aaron Wilkinson, BS in Accounting, Brigham Young University

i'm so proud of my graduate! aaron worked so hard to get this far and i'm so proud of him. graduation was great and it was fun to celebrate with both families.

SUU here we come!! But don't worry... we still (and always will) bleed Cougar blue. :)

easter weekend

we went to vegas for easter weekend! not many easter pics but cute ones nonetheless. thanks for a fun weekend mom and dad! em and cousin miles got to play, but i guess i didn't get any pics. whoops! they were adorable though!

dancing with grandpa

one of the many cute cuddly moments with grandma. i don't know what she does to get cuddled.

hanging out with dad

"ish... ish... ish...."

fish ("ish") is one of emery's few words (others: mom, dad, yes, no, jesus, whoa, delicious) so she had a hay day when grandma terry took all of the kids to the aquarium this week. she just walked around saying "ish... ish... ish...." for the 1st 20 minutes. she loved it. thanks mom!

em loves grandma!

she made up her own sign for crab so she loved this crab!

with auntie amy

what makes me smile?

this adorable little girl - that's what! crazy pigtails, messy face, i love my little rambunctious ragamuffin! being her mom is my dream come true.

messy pigtails.

cutest. face. ever.

em's animal sounds (she doesn't "oink" like a pig, she grunts like a pig, just so the pig noise isn't confusing!)

baby wilkie #2

we're excited to announce baby wilkie #2! i'm due october 13th and am glad to be pulling out of the 1st trimester. this pregnancy has been way different than my 1st with Emery, so who knows - it may be a boy! :)

and i almost put a "floating embryo" pregnancy ticker, because as our friend janae said, "I noticed that many people have a floating embryo on their blog, so I wanted one too. Isn't that reason enough to get pregnant?" haha. she's hilarious. i chose one that didn't display the days prominently (that's a LOT of days) but the weeks instead - seems like much less time!

we're alive

yes, we're alive! we've just been busy having fun (since Aaron finished the GMAT and we have a life again!). here's what we've been up to.

A climbing trip to St. George (Moe's Valley) with Aaron, Jenn and Tanner. We had fun climbing but I've never seen two kids have more fun playing in the dirt.

em was pretty happy about holding Tanner's hand on the way to the boulders

happy, dirty kids (examine closely for the dirt in their hair, etc.)

tanner and jenn

the dads and the kids

squirmy em and mom

sweet action shot - nice face aaron!

emery loves dirt. seriously. watch the video!

another fun adventure... a hike up rock canyon. emery loved hiking and wanted help climbing up all of the big rocky hills. it was too cute.my little rock eater

cute family

dad helping emery slide on the snow - which she thought was the funniest thing EVER.
