Whew!!

I think it's about time I updated our blog, don't you think? I feel like there is just way too much to catch up on and the pictures are the best part so I will just add a bunch of those in and you can just come up with your own stories for each one.haha

We are so excited to introduce our little LaRynn Wilcock!! She was born on October 27th at 12:47a.m. weighing 6lbs. 10oz. and 19in. long. LaRynn has brought so much joy into our family. Emma just loves holding her and giving her soft kisses. I was nervous to see what Elias's reaction would be as he has been the baby of the family and more clingy than Emma was but he has actually done quite well. The first couple days at home were a little rough as Elias was into EVERYTHING! I felt like I was just cleaning up one mess after another (my mom can testify to that). But he has actually calmed down quite a bit, thankfully, and he and Emma have been playing so good together.
I have to thank everyone who has helped us with bringing in this new baby. We feel so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family!! Thank you, thank you Janna & Dayna for watching the kids for us while we were at the hospital. You guys are always so willing to pitch in whenever. It was also so nice to come home from the hospital to a hot meal from the Stokers and then to have meals brought from members in the ward the next couple of days! Then a huge thank you to my MOM and Jacob for spending 4 days with me helping with the shopping, kids, cleaning, meals, and making DELICIOUS pumpkin rolls!! You are the best and I love you so much!! Thank you, Thank you EVERYONE!

GOING PRIVATE!!

So we have been a little skeptical of things going on and have decided to go private as well. Please add your e-mail address so I can add you to our blog. I somehow deleted all my bloglist a little while ago so this gives me a good way to add/find them again. Thanks!

Can It Be, Baby #3?

Yes, it's true! I'm expecting our third child due in September. We are so excited and nervous, but more excited!! I don't think the news has quite hit us yet as I haven't felt any of the signs(which is probably a good thing). In fact I had to take 3 pregnancy tests just to make sure it was true.haha Just thought we would share the news.

Below are a few pictures of the kids!

Isn't he handsome? Elias is learning to walk. He took his first steps a few weeks ago!!

Emma's growing up way too fast!

We had Kade stay with us for a couple days and it was so funny to see them playing together. Emma was always in dress ups (as you can tell) and Kade was everywhere the dress up clothes weren't. Too funny.

These next few pictures are from our trip to Show Low New Year's weekend
Our chocolate face child! Anything to keep him happy for our 3 1/2 hr. drive home from Show Low.
Lovely picture of Emma and Great-Grandpa Wilcock

Emma had such a great time making sugar cookies with Grandma Wilcock

Not yet! Jenn brought out all of her old barbies and Emma was in heaven!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the Wilcock Family!!

We feel and know we have been so blessed each year as we reflect on all that has happened in our lives. We have been blessed with wonderful friends and family, a happy and eternal marriage, two adorable kids, a beautiful home, food on the table, and the gospel of our Savior Jesus Christ. This is such a wonderful time of year and I can't help but feel gratitude in my heart for these wonderful blessings. What more could we ask for? We love you all and hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
Our family picture with Santa. This was the cutest setup. A couple in our neighborhood decorates their garage like this and they dress up like Mr. & Mrs. Claus.

Emma and Elias with Santa Claus. Emma actually did really good because she knew she would get a candy cane. Elias wasn't too happy, as you can tell from his boo boo face.haha

Elias, Savannah, Emma, Aubrey & Malin outside playing while we put up our Christmas lights.
Jesse putting up the lights. (Notice the orange extension cord on the roof, well, it's still there all bundled up like that. We were too lazy to move it or hide it.)haha
Emma dressed as Elmo for Halloween, Elias was Spider-man but I don't have any pictures of him yet. Emma loved going around to all the cars at the trunk-or-treat in show low. She loves candy!!
Emma has a cousin on the Wilcock side!! Baby Brooklyn Cali Ellsworth is here!! She is soooo adorable and precious! These little ones bring so much joy and peace into the world. Congratulations, we love you!!
Emma and Malin all dressed up to go outside in our "freezing" 70 degree weather.haha
I'm ashamed to say I didn't take any pictures of our Thanksgiving but we did have a wonderful time with Jesse's family. They all came out to Maricopa and we had it at our home. Thanksgiving day we participated in a Turkey Trot and Turkey bowl, had our delicious feast, played volleyball, watched movies, and played soccer. Too much fun! Thanks everyone for making the drive out here. The following day we celebrated Mom and Dad Wilcock's Anniversary by going to the temple. It is always so wonderful to go with family. We then did a little Christmas shopping and headed home. The next morning at about 2:45, Malin called me and I went over to their home to stay with the kiddos so they could go to the hospital. Sarah gave birth to baby Ashlyn Lewis 7:56a.m.

Elias is having Fun!

This is such a funny face!

A day at the zoo!

The kids and I just returned home this morning from a fun trip down to Ajo for 4 days with Colleen and her girls. I am on a month break from school right now so we thought we would take advantage of this opportunity to go play and have fun. We had so much fun planning for Christmas and putting up the decorations, visiting, eating, watching movies, reading books and just relaxing!! It was also fun to go running with Julianne a few times. I need to do that more often. Emma loved being with her cousins and brothers even though she didn't act like it towards the end. She is starting her terrible two's and I think my mom and Julianne are scared for us to come back for Christmas!haha It will definitely be crazy for Christmas but we are so excited!! Thanks mom for a great week!


When we walked in the door. There was a bag full of gifts from Dad Wilcock who just returned home from China after being there for 2 weeks. Jesse's dad along with several others were invited to go there to help improve China's water system. What an honor and privelage to be picked. Dad was so nice to bring back some very beautiful gifts for the kids and us. He brought the most beautiful little dress for Emma, and of course she had to put it on right away. I had to take pictures to show. She looks so cute!! Thank you dad!













The following pictures were taken these these past two months.

Tagged

Yup, I got tagged. It was actually awhile ago and I finally got around to doing it, sorry Carol. This is a picture of Emma wrapped up like a little burrito just a few days after she was born. It's hard to believe that was 2 years ago. It's amazing how much she has changed in such a short amount of time. They grow up way too fast!! Emma has brought so much joy to our lives. She makes me laugh every day at the silly things she says and does. It was so cute to have her fall asleep in my arms the other day for her afternoon nap. That doesn't happen very often anymore as Elias occupies much of my time. Emma left early this morning with Jesse as she will be staying at her Aunt Janna's for the weekend and I am missing her so much already! Emma is so good to say "Thank you, Mommy!" after every little thing I do for her, and it melts my heart each time I hear it. What a sweetheart!
Well, I am now tagging Dayna, Kelsey & Sarah! (open your picture folder, click on the 4th folder and then the 4th picture and write about it). Have fun, I did!

Here are a few more pictures of the kids. I forgot to add them earlier. I believe they were taken around Labor Day weekend.
Elias and Emma are proudly wearing their "I love my soldier, My Uncle" shirts that Grandpa Wilcock got them. They love their Uncle Jason and we are so grateful and proud of him for serving our country.
I love the bright colors
