Sitting up!

YAY! As Jack turns 9 months old, he has finally decided to grow up and become a big boy...via sitting up on his own. Finally! He had no ambition to do so until he was good and ready.

Jack can also now say 4 words: mama, dada, dog, and Mac (aka Max)

I might not have physically ambitious babies but they sure are smart ones.

He now eats pretty much everything...loves gold fish crackers, Cheerios's, bread, fruit, pancakes, pudding, yogart, avocado, squash, and of course the Wilson favorite..Ice cream.

A Sea of Chairs

Max has a new hobby...collecting all of the chairs from downstairs and creating super "Tree Houses" as he would like to call them. Each time is a new design, he drags each one by himself into the living room. I love watching his imagination at work.

Updates....

Well.....I have no new pictures. can you believe it? I am such a slacker.
January has proven to be a crazy month. Jared is fighting hard for his unemployment. I can't believe some employers...I told him he should have walked away a year ago from that stupid job. Some people never get it and his boss was one of those people. I saw that 3 years ago when his partner left....You would think a light bulb would have gone off then but i think this guys is permanently dim.
A perfect example of why college is a good thing!

Anyways...moving on from that Jared is working harder than ever to find a nice job in a warm sunny climate. And I am waiting for some good news.
Since our house has been on the market we have had 3 very interested people....hopefully this will also be in the past very soon.

To keep my spirits up I have been ebaying items we no longer need and packing old stuff up, cleaning out closets etc...just in case this needs to be a quick move.
I have also started a 30 day get fit program. I am curious how much I can lose and how toned I can get. So far so good but I am only on day 4 :)

The Moving Diaries

Well....Its official.
Jared and I are heading to warmer pastures. YAY! We have decided to place our house on the market and move on.
It's been almost 7 years here. OMG! It was only supposed to be 6 months. Time has flown but this makes 12 years in the snow and cold and I am freakin over it.
I am looking forward to warmer climates year round and even a beach to drive to.
We will see what happens but I know for sure after this winter passes this will be the last snowy winter! Our plan is to be out of here by the end of summer/ fall time.
Not sure where we are moving to yet but have narrowed it down to: Atlanta, Charleston, Dallas, or FL. I am great with any of them. All is on Jareds sholders and the best golf job he can find.
Its going to be a new and fun adventure! I can hardly wait.
I am going to be sad to leave family and friends but this is going to be the best thing for us, I am a firm believer in changing what makes you unhappy. There is no where for us to go here so its time to try something new.

Merry Christmas!!

Yay for Christmas morning. We lucked out this year, Max didn't wake up until 7.30am.

He was very excited to see if Santa came ...but he was too scared to check by himself just in case the Jolly man was still in our house.

Once we got downstairs he noticed right away the stockings filled and the tree had tons of presents under it.

Jack just sat back and watched the excitement as his big brother opened his gifts.

Jacks cookie monster was a big hit....yum yum!

Now for the Tree.....

Max got Jackie a moving ball with lights

Gotta love those morning pictures :)

And of course Santa has a bit Father Christmas in him.... love the Jolly Postman!

Santa brought max Handy Manny...

Grandad and Nonna got Max Wii mario cart...he has gotten quite good at it.

Love from over the pond..thanks Sammy and Brian!

Jack got a fun truck from Old Saint Nick.

After the presents were opened and we all got dressed we put together a traditional English breakfest and of course wore our paper crowns....

Another Christmas gone..where does the season go?

Next year will be different will be in GA, SC, FL or TX? Who knows but where ever we end up it will still be awesome!

What did Santa bring you??

Kick Kick...Punch!

The Night Before Christmas

The Night before Christmas and all through the Wilson house the boys were getting ready for Santa Clause. They wore thier Christmas Jammie's and made Santa cookies.

The boys wrote letters to Santa.

Max wanted snow and transformers...

Jack wanted play things....and MILK

We decorated the gingerbread house and read stories.

Max was so excited he went straight to bed with no fuss.

He thought if he didnt fall asleep fast Santa would pass his house.

Goodnight my little boys! Tomorrow is going to be great!

ZOO Lights

Just before Christmas we went to Hogle zoo for the Christmas Zoo lights. It was VERY cold but very pretty.
Miss Keira and Mr Keagan joined us for the fun.

Max and Daddy looked at the lights with their special 3-D glasses.

Turned the lights into bright colored snowflakes.
