This is what happens when...

You leave a 2 year old in her room all night and then wait too long to go get her in the morning! She discovered how to "zip" zippers!!

Your husband discovers the new apple peeler, corer, slicer....

You get a large package from Amazon and your Daddy has a creative imagination...

You go on a nice Sunday walk...

You catch your 6 month old staring at you...

Your 2 year old is obsessed with buckling things...

Jade plays hide and seek...

Spida-Man!

Jade is obsessed with Spider man lately and it is so cute when says his name because this is how she pronounces it, "Spida-Man!" Neither Ben nor I know how she came to like this red & blue man so much but she now asks to watch it on Netflix, and Ben bought her a little spider man action figure! She loves it and it has become one more doll that goes to bed with her at night. Who needs a boy when your daughter likes Spiderman? He he!!

My mom gave Jade these cute Halloween clothes with a glittery spider on them. She immediately saw the spider and began calling it Spiderman. These have now been dubbed her Spida-man clothes!

Watching her new favorite show! What happened to Elmo?

Happiness is...

Here are a few random pictures of what has been happening at our house lately. The girls are growing so fast I can hardly keep up with them. After watching General Conference last weekend, there was one quote by Elder Scott that really stuck with me and has made me change my focus as a Mom.

"Children are not something you have if you have time for them, having children is what God gave you time for."

I was a bit teary when I heard this quote as my life has been full of many changes this past little while and I feel super overwhelmed with all that I have to do each day with the girls and work. I am trying to remember this quote each day as start out and it has brought much more happiness to my life. I love these 2 little girls and can't even imagine my life without them!

Here is our little 6 month old!! Can you even believe that she is 1/2 year old already!!

Jade has a new ritual of putting Woody in Kiera's highchair every time she has to eat. She has a snapping problem! Meaning she goes around snapping anything and everything with a snap or buckle! It was cute at first, but now is starting to get annoying...he he!!

The other day, this is how I found Jade, face pressed down in the book, sound asleep!! It sure made me smile real big! She has to go to bed with a pile of books to read to her dolls. This is what happens when you are too tired to finish your book!!

Our little librarian. Kiera has recently discovered how to turn the pages in books and loves to look at all the brightly colored pages. She has to be just like her sister!

Jade bowling with her new life size bowling pins and ball! It is just hilarious to watch her throw that ball, because she does not even aim for the pins, but instead just throws the ball in any direction, and then she tackles the pins with her body!

One of Ben's friends from UNT gave the girls this bib. He thought he would let them both try it out! Go UNT (we are kind of alumi I guess as that is where Ben got his Master's degree)!

Love, love, love this stunned look on her face!! Looks like she is saying "You caught me and yes Daddy made me wear this gigantic bib!"

Jade loves to fix things and help do chores around the house. As long as we make it fun, we can usually get her do almost anything, from laundry to mopping! Here she is fixing her Elmo doll!

Grandpa's Birthday

At the end of July we celebrated my Dad's 25th birthday!!?? He, he just kidding, we thought it would be funny and make him feel younger if we switched the numbers around!

My Dad and his girls...

Jade of course had to help blow out the candles!

A visit with Cousins...

At the end of August we took a little trip with my Mom and sister to visit our Riverton family. My brother Mitch and his wife and 2 little girls live there, and so it was truly a "girls" weekend. It was a short but fun trip and I thought it was well worth the drive so the girls could play with their cousins. Jade and Kiera had an absolute blast with Maddi and Marly.

Jade and Maddi on the swings. Just look at those smiles, oh the simple joys of being a kid!

This is my favorite of Jade from the trip. Her face says it all, and boy is she ever expressive these days when she talks about things.

Trying out a new hairdo, what do you think? Is it too late for the afro to make a comeback?

Kiera and her Aunt Kaeli

One happy girl!

This was the best picture we could get of two busy toddlers. Hey at least we got them to sit down for 30 seconds!

Jade carrying her dolly in sister Kiera's backpack. She likes to put her dolls in my baby bjeorn and carry them around saying, "pack pack."

Maddi taught Jade a thing or two about jumping on the bed!

Marly and Kiera chillin' on the blanket outside.

Jade the acrobat!

Picking some apples from the neighbor's tree.

Random Happenings at the Wilson Home

We have been busy with work and having some fun with our two beautiful girls

Here is Miss Kiera chillin' on her sister's new couch!

She can't quite sit up on her own, but does pretty well at staying propped up when we leave her there.

Ben is so proud of Jade, this is her first real taco (the hard shell kind)!

I think she rather enjoyed her taco!

Jade and Daddy

Lounging around on her new picnic table. She says "nic" for picnic and it is the cutest thing!

Jade got a new big girl bed for her birthday. She was super excited to play in it but when it came time to sleep in it that night, she screamed and would have nothing to do with it. So after 2 hours of crying, we put her back in her crib and she slept like a baby!

However, Kiera, rather enjoys playing in Jade's new bed...

Kiera and Daddy, she is in the baby bjeorn and doing what she does best....sucking on everything!

Jade and Mommy having some fun with the webcam.
