3 Years

Wow! What a cute boy. Grayson just celebrated his third birthday the prehistoric way. Again my friend Amy took his 3 year pictures and I love them. We tried to get some of him with his Dino's in them and they turned out really cute.
Grayson's Favorite things:
TEASING HIS SISTER
Anything sweet
Dinosaurs
Mom still (thank goodness)
Hot dogs
The Sandbox
Who doesn't like to like the beaters!The yummy cake.

Six Months Old

Our little Gordon is almost seven months old. My friend Amy took these pictures of him a few weeks ago for his six month pictures. She does such a wonderful job!
He is such a calm baby and is always smiling.
His favorites include:
Food of course and lots of it.
THE POOL
The Bathtub
His MOM
His Sister and Brother
His Dad's "Rocket ship"
He is doing great at the army crawl and is getting rug burns on his elbows from scooting on them. We are not quite sure if we are ready for the crawling. It just means he is growing up way too quickly.

Oquirruh Mountain Temple

Last Thursday we had the great opportunity to go to the Oquirruh Mountain Temple Open -house. It was so beautiful and our kids did amazing considering the lines.
Graysons favorite part was the "cows" or baptismal font. He didn't want to leave that area.
We were also fortunate to shake hands with Elder Russell M. Nelson. As we were walking through the Chapel the usher stoped the group behind us and we were the last ones in our group and I heard the Usher say to the other usher that they need to hold up the line because Elder Nelson was bringing his family into the chapel and when I turned around I saw him a couple people back so I stopped Ryan and we were able to shake his hand. It was the highlight of my night.
That temple is amazing and I am so glad I had the chance to take my children to see inside.

Lost Child

Wow it's been so long I forgot how to blog.
I've got a funny story.
Ryan had a softball game tonight and at the complex they have what they call a playground for the kids but I like to refer to it as a kidnappers paridise. Anyway I have learned to dress my kids in clothes that are easy to identify so I can keep track of them while they play and I watch the game.
Well tonight I had gotten 2 otter pops and told Addie to take one to Grayson, well a few minutes latter she comes back still carring Grayson's otter pop and so I ask where Gray is. She said she wasn't sure so I instantly start looking. I have her go to the playground one more time and I start walking around the building in the center when I hear this....
"ATTENTION EVERYONE WE HAVE A LOST CHILD. HE IS WEARING A YELLOW SHIRT WITH BLACK STRIPES. IF THIS IS YOUR CHILD PLEASE COME UPSTAIRS AND GET HIM"
Holy embarrasing. So I go up stairs and there is Grayson standing on the table looking out the big window watching Ryan's game!
They might as well given me a big orange flag that said "warning bad mom" everyone was giving me some good looks the rest of the evening. Next week he's wearing a white shirt.

Any other ideas?

Today as I was trying to get lunch together Grayson thought he needed to yell everything he wanted to say and I kept asking him nicely to please stop yelling. After the nice wore off I told him if he didn't stop we were going to wash his mouth out with soap. He left the room and when I went to go find him he was in the bathroom like this...........
If I wouldn't have taken the soap away I think he would have kept licking it.

Gordon Scott Wilson

He's Here!!!
Gordon was born at noon on Saturday. He weighed in at 8lbs 13oz and 21 inches tall. It was so much fun to have the gender be a surprise and I would recommend it to anyone.
Mom, Gordon and Dad after delivery.

Addie and Grayson were able to see him before they took him to give him a bath and clean him up. It was so fun to see their faces as they saw him for the first time. Addie loves to hold Gordon and said yesterday "I'm glad we had a little brother."

Grayson and Gordon.

Whenever he hears him cry Grayson runs to him and says "It ok little buddy" over and over and over.

This is Gordon in his car seat ready to go home!
We are glad to be home and we are all doing well, and we are so thankful for the safe arrival of this new addition.
