Happy Birthday to the best Daddy and Husband in the world!!

Okay, so tried to take the pic but Kael wasn't having any part of it! Don't you just love that face! Then it was Kael and Cali not happy...

Then Serrin joined in with a pout......

Finally Terry says -next time- cake first- then pics!!

Serrin gives dad a bunch of cards she made!

Kade gives him his Home-made card

The whole family got him a new white shirt for work and his main gift is what he has been saving up for which is a PA system

Crazy Daddy!!

Blowing out the candles...

Some days are better than others

Life can be tough sometimes. It is up to me to choose a good attitude amongst all the chaos that is around me. Out with the bad, in with the good. It's the only way. (Just a little pep talk to myself)

Leprechaun Trap!!

2010-03-16T21:58:00.003-04:00

This is too adorable.... Kade explains how his trap will work......

He says he can buy tons of Wii's with all the money he'll get! O, how I wish it could really happen........

Mommy and Daddy and Baby Kael

2010-03-14T15:02:00.003-04:00

Kael David Corban Wilson Kael is now 6mos old and such a content baby- for which I am very blessed!! Look at those beautiful eyes! He loves to snuggle and he smiles anytime his brother and sisters are near. He loves his "daddy time" too!!

My two favorite people!!

2009-10-28T12:50:00.002-04:00

Well besides my wonderful hubby and kids....

For those who may not know - this is my big brother Jeff and my baby sister Jaime! Who I love and am very proud to say they are my siblings!!!

A little closer view No none of us look alike but yes we are from the same parents! I love them dearly and I'm so grateful they belong to me. At 35 wks pregnant I went to visit them in Atlanta. This is at Jeff's office- we went out to lunch and had a great time. Then headed back to Jaime's for a few days. Did I mention how much I love them?!

What's Cali up to?

2009-10-13T12:08:00.004-04:00

Notice anything????

That's right!!! My little Cali girl playing in the dirt with her spoons!!!

Ready to Pop!!

INTRODUCING KAEL DAVID CORBAN WILSON

BORN 09-09-09 8 LBS 2 OZ

THE FAMILY WITH OUR NEW BABY

Playtime

2009-04-22T17:55:00.004-04:00

(Start at 2 min. I couldn't delete the first part)

I had to capture this scene. Serrin was playing with her lego princesses (and a man) and pooh bear and a turtle. All nicely tucked in their bed- a washcloth!! She was singing - for those of you who can recognize the primary song "the rains came down and the floods came up." Only she didn't really know all of the words. Tooo cute!!

My Big Boy!!

2009-04-22T16:42:00.003-04:00

Kade decided it was time to learn how to cut the grass (by himself). He wanted to surprise dad when he came home from work. Dad had planned on doing it among other things so Kade wanted to make the evening easier on him.

So after a million and I do mean a million tries at cranking it up, (that included my pregnant old self -if I had video of that you'd be laughing your butts off!!!) we got it started and he was off. He felt so proud- I loved watching the look on his face when he realized he was really doing it!! Really cutting the grass like his daddy!

Although I did quite a bit more than I had planned--most of the front and sides--Kade was really getting the hang of it and wanted to do the whole backyard, which he mostly did!

In the end - mission accommplished!! Dad was proud and relieved he didn't have to do it.

Look out Kade!!! This might become your new job!!

The beauty of a child....

2009-04-17T18:48:00.002-04:00

So I told the kids we would make some chocolate chip cookies from scratch. Kade says "oh the kind that comes in the tube" (okay so that's really all they know) I had to laugh the poor boy. I said no from scratch, you know with flour and sugar. I said okay guys first we need flour. So Serrin says a flower? Okay and she starts to run outside to grab a flower. What sweet little innocence. I love moments like this that make me soooo happy to be a mother and witness the precious mind of a child...

Me and Kade got a good laugh and we took this pic of Serrin with her "flower"!!

This is after one batch is in the oven . Kade would rather eat the dough! Notice Serrin still holding the flower!!

Happy Happy Easter!

2009-04-15T19:17:00.002-04:00

Amanda holding Cali, Kade and Serrin Me and my man!

The whole family

Cali just didn't want to sit still

Or stand for the pictures!!

FHE Fun!

2009-04-01T14:13:00.003-04:00

For FHE Mon night we loaded up and headed over to pick out our plants and seeds for our garden this year. By the time we got back it was dark so we actually planted everything last night. Cali leaned up against the window to watch us until she just couldn't take anymore. She started screaming so I would come get her and take her outside. Serrin tried to plant the plants herself (a little too enthusiastic!!) And Kade decided to drink the water he was suppose to be feeding the plants with. And Amanda was out at a school play. But all in all it was a fun 2 nights. I love the garden and how it makes you feel when you care and nurish it. And boy, I can already taste the tomatoes !!

Kind hearts are the garden,

kind thoughts are the root,

kind words are the blossoms,

kind deeds are the fruit.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABE!!

2009-03-30T12:03:00.002-04:00

Here's to a wonderful hubby and father! We love you!!

We went out to eat for lunch--Mexican our favorite!! The kiddies helped him open his gifts!

We made him breakfast!

Kade and Serrin decorated the area!! We had a lot of fun all day Sat as a family. A nice breakfast, then Amanda hit a mailbox with my new van, (it's okay no real damage tee hee) then a nice lunch. We tried to go bowling but no lanes open so we came home and rented movies. A great day in the Wilson home! I love it when there is happiness all around!

Count me in!

2009-03-27T08:22:00.002-04:00

Sending lots of hugs your way Mrs. Diva!

Musical rooms!!

2009-03-23T10:40:00.002-04:00

Amanda's new room! Kade's new room!

Serrin's room when Amanda moves her stuff out! Yes, a lot still to be done in all of the rooms like paint and decorations. But that is a task I thoroughly enjoy!!!!

My Handy Man!

2009-03-23T10:26:00.003-04:00

We are closing in the loft to make another bedroom. This will be Kade's new room. Amanda is now in Kade's old room downstairs. Serrin will go to Amanda's room and Cali will stay put in the crib in the little room until the baby gets here. When we know if it's a boy or girl - then we will know what to do with Cali. Confusing I know but everyone is excited!

I couldn't get this pic to turn around- sorry. I wish you could see closer. My hubby is so amazing. I love to watch him work. He can do anything and I do mean anything! That doorway looks like it has always been there! Thanks babe for another perfect project!!

Happy St. Patty's Day!! continued...

2009-03-17T17:31:00.001-04:00

Had to get my boy Kade in here today too- and no he isn't wearing green cuz his daddy got up with him this morning before school! He got pinched a lottttttttt he said (with a grin)!!!!

2009-03-17T13:05:00.004-04:00

2009-03-14T18:06:00.002-04:00

2009-03-03T15:13:00.003-05:00

I got my new laptop yesterday and it is soooo nice to feel connected again!! I'll post more when I'm not chasing around crazy kiddies (babysitting today).

No tears for no laptop because.....

2009-01-19T11:06:00.003-05:00

We purchased a new -well new to us- Nissan Quest! Yes, another Quest! For those of you that know, my old minivan was plum purple, with no air, only one slide door, back window rattled at high speed, locks had a mind of their own and would lock me out or in the van! and I could go on and on. While this one is only a 2001 it has 5 doors and air and it is a light silverish gold color. I am happy! The laptop will come soon though I hope. Until then my posts will still be few and far between. Though a lot has happened recently including the passing away of one of my best friends from high school, I will post pics and stories as soon as I can. I miss feeling close to all my blogging friends. I hopefully will be back on track soon. Love Tif

Almost...

2008-12-12T12:02:00.003-05:00

I am updating to tell everyone she is hoping to get a laptop soon, and then she will be back to blogland...yea! Can't wait. In the meantime, here is a funny pic to look at from last Christmas. Serrin is laughing at her cousin Natalia. These girls are gonna get into all kinds of trouble together over the years...

Alittle bit here, alittle bit there!

2008-11-13T08:02:00.002-05:00

I still don't have a computer and probably won't until Christmas so posting is a once in a while thing. I have many pics to show and will post asap.

2008-10-21T23:33:00.002-04:00

Upon coming home from my trip to my dad's I learned our computer has completely gone caput!! I am sad to say I will not be able to post or check out your lovely blogs until we get the stink'n thang fixed. I will try to every once and a while on the Hubby's computer (when he is in town) Please don't forget me!! I will miss you!!

Scary (Funny)Pranks.

You Are A Vampire

You have a real thirst for bliss, and you consider yourself a true hedonist.
And you're not afraid to walk alone in life, if it means getting what you truly crave.
You truly enjoy entrancing people. Not to mention the ensuing pleasures of the flesh.
Your tastes have been called decadent and bizarre. You usually give in to your temptations, no matter how primal

Your greatest power: Your flawless ability to seduce and charm

Your greatest weakness: Human flesh

You play well with: Werewolves

Just another Manic Monday

2008-10-13T08:25:00.004-04:00

Welp, the hubby is gone again. The house needs a once over and I still need to finnish the twilight series so I can watch the movie! I leave on Thurs. with my sis to go visit my dad in Texas, which I am sooooo very excited about! I will only have Cali with me and she is an easy baby. Buttttt - It will be a busy week for me. Church yesterday was great! FHE and Family counsel was last night and we went over our disaster plan and 72 hr kits. REALITY HIT!!! We realized we had no clue what eachother would do in case of an emergency. We now have a spot to go to for a house fire, tornado, evacuation, etc. (including a place in our yard, our neighborhood, and outside of our neighborhood.) The kids now know when and how to get help and what to say when they call 911. We know our 72 hr kits are on the shelf in the garage where we can grab them and go. (well they will be when we get one for each member) We checked out our fire alarms and batteries are good. A friend told me to also put a family portrait in every 72 hr kit- in case you get separated you can point to the person in the pic and ask if anyone has seen him/her. I hope we can all take this stuff seriously and heed the counsel we have been given. Good luck to all!

I took these pics for fun in our hotel after a Black Tie event for Terry's work in Penn. The evening was lots of fun! A New Orleans theme, we came home with lots of beads! We ate the best food ever! Some of the chocolates even had edible glitter!! We danced the night away(well, until we got back to the hotel) It was at that point I pulled out the camera and started taking pics of my crazy one and only!! Boy he sure can make me laugh sometimes!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRAMMA KIP!!!!

2008-10-06T19:20:00.003-04:00

Wishing you a very Happy Birthday Gramma!! This was take #6 and I figured I better stop while they both at least sang the song! They were having way too much fun doing this! Poor Cali, was trying to sleep and they were singing (as they always do) at the top of their lungs!

More soccer pics

2008-10-06T06:17:00.002-04:00

Kade is number 4. And he has a great time playing soccer! The last pic is of him and his lil' sis. Who absolutely adores him!

The Green Monkey's

2008-10-05T22:34:00.003-04:00

Kade had a soccer game Sat morning. They played hard but the other team was one step ahead. (Actually a few steps ahead!) He really enjoys playing though. This clip shows him having some fun on the field.

Thankful Thursday

2008-10-02T20:37:00.003-04:00

I was challenged to think about what I was grateful for today. And it was quite a challenge considering how my morning went. But in reflection, as I just tucked in the last child for bed I realized I have a lot to be grateful for. My 2 yr old only had one more poopy session and was fine the rest of the day. She took a 3 1/2 hr nap and so did my 5 month old which meant I got sleep! Well until my 7 yr old came home from school. And he got straight on his homework and did it right! My 16 yr old step-daughter made dinner for us while I was cleaning house. My hubby got his "night out" jammin on the guitar with some friends which makes him happy.(my night was last night)and when he's happy I'm happy. I know my Heavenly Father lives and loves me and my family. I know he answers prayers and we are continually blessed in our lives. I have new bloggin buddies that keep me smil'n with their thoughts. The more I think the more I have to be thankful for. Thanks TANJA for giving me this challenge! All is well in the Wilson home again.

Oh what a beautiful morning, NOT!!!

2008-10-02T10:30:00.005-04:00

Above is a previous peanut butter episode. Does a 2 yr old learn from her mistakes-this will answer your question!! You know how chicken broth separates and the grease floats to the top? Well that is what landed all over me and my bed (only it was peanut butter grease) as I get woken up by my 2 yr old puking her guts out all over me at 3:30 this morning. You ask yourself why, well I'll tell you why. Last night under "daddy's watch" sorry Terry but it's true! she had taken the jar (Big) jar of peanut butter and shut her self up in the DARK-mind you, pantry. Sitting on the floor having a feast digging at with both hands. Who knows how long she was in there. Terry cleaned her up and put her back to bed (she was already tucked in for the night).

But she kept clicking her tongue and he realized she was so choked up that he had to give her some water to help get it down. Later that night she comes into our room and fell asleep next to me. I must have been tired cuz I do not allow this. And this is one reason why! she decided to empty her belly. SOOOOO Terry took the easy part and bathed her while I was left to rinse out the nasty-ness in the kitchen sink where if I didn't walk way away and take a deep breath I would've been cleaning up my own mess. Then of course WHERE is the big efficient washer and dryer set when you need it. Washing size king sheets, comforter, pillow cases and bed protector in my rinky dinky set was enough to set me over the edge. Next came my shower- that felt nice. Thanks Dear Lord for the ability to shower!! I finally settled down for a 1 1/2 hr nap on the couch before my son got up for school. (my sweet hubby took the other less comfy one in the other room) Thinking that was it I realized well, just take a nap later you will be okay. Then the diarrhea set in. OH JOY! She must have tons of grease in her poor little belly! Anyway more has happened but I will spare you! Don't you just looooove mornings like these!!!

Thanks Purple Diva!!

The Grasshopper is in MY hair?!!!!

2008-09-30T22:23:00.002-04:00

Okay so Kade was outside playing with this grasshopper that kept jumping away from him. I was on the swing watching him and talking on the phone. He scared it and it jumped toward me. I said "Boy you better hope that thing doesn't land in my hair" and he got this evil grin and said it did!! Only the joke was on him because it actually jumped into HIS hair! I noticed it right as I was saying it so I yelled don't move, here talk to grandma, (I gave him the phone) I'll be right back. I ran in and got the camera. He didn't catch on until I said here look at the pics- and I flicked it out of his hair. I was laughing so hard when he said "HEY, it was in MY HAIR?" Yep Kade it was in your hair - not mine! teee heeee heeee!!!!!!

Burning Down The House: What Caused Our Economic Crisis?

2008-09-26T21:59:00.001-04:00

A friend sent me this. It's long but makes you think. Tell me your thoughts!

Lets get prepared together!

2008-09-26T12:53:00.005-04:00

We all know we are supposed to be prepared. Only I know I am not near as prepared as I should be. We had an enrichment activity at my church that got me all excited about getting my 72 hr kit together. I brought home bunches of handouts. Well this was a while ago- I put the stack up in my room and there it sat until now! I don't know if it's the weather or the gas problem around here or the economy, but I decided it really is time to get busy. I know there are millions of different variations of 72 hr kits and if you are like me you can get overwhelmed by the choices but I just came across one that is very basic - that will at least give me a head start until I get my "real" 72 hr kit together (along with the 5 other members of my family!) This one says it's great for the office or to send w/ college kids to school but I thought hey- why not the car!(Where there are people getting stuck on the side of the road with no gas it couldn't hurt right?!!) SOOOOOOOOOOOO 72 hr kit in a #10 can

TP or bathroom wipes
Foil Blanket
Light Sticks (great time to buy)
Hand Warmer (great time to buy)
Hand Wipes
Protein Bars
Poncho
Matches
First Aid Kit
Hard Candy and Gum- AVOID mint flavors

Along side add a 2 liter bottle of WATER

Thanks to Heidi Keck for the handout

Whovever already has their 72 hr kits done "gimmie a scream" with any extra tips you felt was helpful for you!

Good luck to all including me!! and happy preparing!!

Spooked!!

2008-09-24T23:17:00.000-04:00

Okay, as I sit here learning the language of blogging, I hear the playlist I put together for all to hear this Halloween season and I'm getting a little spooked! As the hubby is working late tonight! I wanted to try it out before everyone else heard- I deleted a couple of songs already. So if it is too much- just mute the music. Puleez don't be scared to come back often and check out my blog! ahhhhhh ha ha ha ha!!!

The Many Adventures of a 2 Yr Old

2008-09-10T10:45:00.000-04:00

It was cute at first, but that didn't last long....peanut butter in the hair and clothes is not easy to get out. Neither is toothpaste, especially in the carpet. Not to mention pinkish-red fingernail polish all over fingers toes and yep more white carpet! But I caught her before she grabbed the vitamin jar and candy bar on the counter! Too bad I didn't catch her in her other curious acts!!

Every summer Misty(Terry's sister)cuts and colors my hair when we visit her at Newport Beach. This year Kade and Serrin also got a trim!! Serrin's first time and she loved it--of course!!

Love the Palm Trees!!

These pics were taken in San Diego at a hotel and spa where Terry was staying for work the last week we were in Calif. It was a beautiful place. His sister Jamy so graciously took all our kids (except Cali) so I could enjoy it with him for a couple of nights. THANK YOU JAMY!!!
