A Weekend At The Wilson's

Monday, January 19, 2009

We just had the best weekend ever up in Atlanta visiting Donnie's sister, Ursula, and her hubby, Keith. They are both big into motocross... in fact, Keith was a youth champion. So now all three of our boys have the motocross bug... and Donnie & I have caught it pretty bad as well.

Urs & Keith decided it would be best to start us out on the mini bikes, and gradually work us up to the bigger bikes. Even though they were small, they were pretty quick and took a little getting used to.

Kaleb just couldn't go fast enough!!!! Here he is with his Aunt Ursula.

Here's Mom, getting ready to give Kaleb a ride.

Keith is pretty ruthless on these bikes... but kept it pretty slow riding Kaleb... even though Kaleb BEGGED for him to go FASTER!!!!

Kaden and Ursula

Kaden had just as much fun riding as Kaleb did!!!

It turns out Sky is quite a natural on the bike... it didn't take him long as all to get used to it on the trail, taking some pretty tight turns. However, it'll be a while until he's able to give Uncle Keith a run for his money!! =) Sky loved riding SO much, he was outside riding in the dark on the trail behind their house for hours... long after the rest of us went inside.

It was REALLY cold on Saturday... it actually SNOWED on us, so we all had to bundle up!! But we had SO much fun!!!

Saturday night, we celebrated Keith's birthday. Ursula cooked the YUMMIEST roast and we totally pigged out!! Of course we saved room for birthday cake and loaded sundaes... yum!! Urs also got these really fun poppers... you pull on the sides until they pop, and out come cute little novelties. Each of them had a crown, the boys thought it was SO fun!!!

Here's Kaden & Kaleb playing on the seesaw in Urs & Keith's backyard. They thought it was so cool, that we needed to get one too! It was a lot warmer on Sunday, so we spent quite a few hours playing outside in the backyard, at the park kicking around the soccer ball... and of COURSE, some more riding!! In fact, Donnie, Sky & I rode until our rears were literally sore!! AND... we've decided to get some bikes!!

Ursula & I have gotten REALLY close... it's SO great to have them so close by!!

We didn't get home until Monday afternoon... as we were packing up, the younger two boys were literally crying because they didn't want to go home!! They can't wait for Urs & Keith to come down in a few weeks for their visit. Of COURSE, they're bringing their bikes so we can hit some trails down here. =)

I'm waiting on Ursula to send all the photos she took over the weekend... so I'll be adding those soon!!




Our Star Student Made The Honor Roll Again!!

Monday, January 19, 2008


We are SO proud of Kaden for making the Honor Roll again this last quarter. Neither Donnie or I were able to make the breakfast at school... we felt so bad, we promised him a family breakfast to celebrate!!!


Kaden is also the Star Student of his class... and got to fill out an 'All About Me' to share with all his friends in his class. Of course, he said his dad was his hero. And before we went to visit Aunt Ursula and Uncle Keith this weekend, he had baseball as his favorite activity... that is, until he got to ride on a dirt bike!! His favorite subject is science, his favorite movie is 'Bedtime Stories', his favorite song is 'Jingle Bells', and his favorite food is pie.

You are doing SO well, Kaden, keep up the GREAT work!!!!




Date Night

Friday, January 2, 2009


Donnie and I FINALLY went on our first date night since he returned home from overseas in mid-October. It was definitely worth the wait... we got all dressed up and went out for some yummy sushi. You've got to love photos from a cell phone though... I look even paler than I already am (as if that's possible... hahaha), and my hair looks brown. Oh well, we had a GREAT time!!!! =)


Celebrating New Year's Day

Thursday, January 1, 2009

Donnie's sister Ursula came down from Atlanta to celebrate New Year's Day with us. Her husband, Keith's, mom is still in the hospital so he spent the day with her and his family. Our plans for spending this coming weekend with them had to be rescheduled again, because she is recovering a little slower than everyone had hoped. But the blessing is that she is recovering.

When Urs walked through our door... our younger two boys literally ran to her, threw their arms around her, yelling 'Aunt Ursula!' It was SO cute... and of course she LOVED it!!!!

Since we had to reschedule our Christmas weekend... Urs decided to bring all her gifts down for New Year's Day. We all were quite spoiled!! The boys received some really great books and games... and Sky got a 5x5 Rubik's Cube. He had 2 sides solved by the time Urs left that evening!

Urs brought Donnie a really cool wooden Mind Benders game... which him & Skyler played with for quite a while.

As for me... I got QUITE pampered! Urs is now retired... but has done hair for over 20 years. So I got the royal treatment... complete with a gift bag full of salon hair products! We're working on putting platinum blonde highlights in my hair, to really brighten it up... but today, we needed to put some medium ash blonde low lights in it too.

It looks a lot shorter in this photo... but she cut only 2 inches off the back, and gave me a lot more layers. I LOVE it!!!

We had SO much fun visiting with Urs today... the boys can't WAIT to spend the weekend at her & Uncle Keith's house and ride dirt bikes (neither can Donnie & I =) !!!!

Happy New Year Everyone!!!!
