It's been a great birthday!

It's been a great birthday today!! The best gifts ever are the ones pictured first. God sure has been good to me to bless me with these 3! Lots to love and I am one happy and blessed mommy/wife.

Jeremy made it special today with some of my favorite things! He is so wonderful to always think of everything!! It started out with DD breakfast and coffee and ended with dinner from FIVE...a favorite restaurant (he picked this up for me to have at the hospital too after Beckham was born). The day was a fabulous one (my 29th birthday : )





Finally...I could put this frame up and I have ordered Beckham's newborn picture to put in it. 
Oh how I love DD coffee!

Any words needed for this gift???
Charlee Kate did watch me open this and say "Daddy will you get me one of those for my birthday!" Lol...I may have to share one day!! She has shopped with me a lot

Naughty or nice??

2 sneak peaks of photographer photos!!
Some Christmas Jammie pictures!

Christmas letter 2013

Christmas letter 2013

Our card this year will be a New Years card and a birth announcement. It will go out in January with our Christmas letter. Here is our Christmas letter....

I hope this letter finds each of you well. 2013 was a very blessed year for our family and one that I am so thankful for. Our blog is the best way to keep up with us… Blog address: http://watchasthewilsonfamilygrows.blogspot.com/

Our year was full of many great things! This was typed and ready a little early… end of November. I knew December would be filled with lots of joy and surprises, the most exciting… Baby Wilson’s arrival.  It’s amazing how this place is our place to call home! Homewood has become our home, where Charlee Kate and baby Wilson will grow up, where we go to church, enjoy the community, enjoy our neighborhood and neighbors,  and just to make home. A place that you call home doesn’t happen overnight, it takes time. We are so excited that THIS  is our home!

Charlee Kate is so full of life, energy, and definitely independence.  It’s amazing how her
little personality can continue to change and grow. She has the sweetest little heart and doesn’t
want to see anyone hurting or upset. She loves her friends and thrives with routine. There are 
plenty of timesthat we have spontaneous things that happen, but changing classes, schools, 
Sunday school classes, etc… takes a little time for her. She gets used to things and likes to leave it
 that way. Our  family has been so blessed that she has a wonderful school, teachers, and friends. 
This year ESPECIALLY she has just taken every single thing in. She is like a sponge.  Her 
imagination is still HUGE and she and can play for hours by herself if she wants or with someone. 
She loves to talk to herself, create things that are happening, and “parent” her babies. She remembers
everything and will repeat it in her imaginary play or with her imaginary friends. She is such a big girl
and I have to let her grow up, but it is not easy.  

Jeremy and I celebrated our 12th anniversary in April. We had a great year with traveling! Jeremy made it to Miami for another Bama National Championship. That is such a “routine” thing for him the past few years, that when that one ends, he will be sad! Our trips included a last minute random one to Tampa and Orlando. We had to check on things in Tampa so we were able to visit friends, visit some of our favorite places there, and then take Charlee Kate to Magic Kingdom one day. That was magic in itself… to see her face with all the Disney princesses and how magnificent Disney World is! One day was PLENTY for her! I definitely want to take her back again, and I know she wants to go back again, but we will wait a little while longer until she is older. So many other things we still want her to see. Jeremy and I took a trip to Park City, UT. AMAZING to say the least. We really wanted to do this in the fall, but that was going to be close to my due date and we did not need to be that far away so we went at the end of the summer. I loved it! It will be a place that we will visit as often as possible.  Our family still had lots of beach and lake house time. I must say, just being at home, relaxing…has been so wonderful this year. Something we definitely needed after the renovations, fertility treatments, etc…
 
This year has and will be one of the best yet! God is blessing us with this baby to complete our little family. What a blessing it truly has been! The best part of it all, is how truly blessed we are to have our family, friends, health, and be back home!  It’s going to be a busy next few weeks and months with a new baby in the family, but there will still be blog posts to keep you updated. We truly hope that you and your family have also had a blessed year and have a very Merry Christmas.

Best Christmas present!!

A few sweet pictures! I didn't realize how some pictures didn't make him look like him. I guess bc I edit them. Here is how he really looks, no editing. The dark hair and dark complexion is what he truly looks like : )

Best Christmas present ever!!!



Time with our little girl at the mall! She went to build a bear and got a my little pony!

1 week old

How is this possible!! Already I want him to stay so small. A week ago, on a gorgeous day like today, I had my sweet angel. Everyday with him is a blessing! What a wonderful amazing Christmas season.

An old December post!

Well here is a post I started 2 weeks ago... And of course so much as changed since then but it's all amazing. I wish I could just freeze time! Here is my post to catch up. I will add lots of hospital pics soon. 


December means...relaxing, Christmas and all the many many wonderful things that go along with Christmas, a new baby, the extra time with family and friends, and my parents closed on a house here in Ross Bridge. (Once renovations are done they will be moving soon!)

Our thanksgiving was a wonderful, relaxing one! I was probably a little more tired than usual because I did all my usual things, but it's a little different when you're 9 months pregnant. It was great though! Each day is one to be thankful for...I do look forward to each Monday to see what's changed when I go to the doctor. 

I love December! It's my favorite time of year and my favorite month. I have waited and waited for this month! Now I hope it goes by slow : ) My updates may be few and far in between this month but I will definitely get one in when baby Wilson arrives. It won't be long! I made it to December too so this baby will be like it's mommy and have a December birthday. I was smart and kept my TV on mute for Iron Bowl Saturday! That could have put me into labor for sure. Disappointing for Jeremy and my dad who would have loved another Pasadena trip but 3 national championships in 4 years and 15 total...it's time for someone else to have a turn. I have some great AU friends that I hope get to go!!!  

Well here are all my updated pictures! Let's see what this month holds. Definitely a Cinderella Christmas tea party for CK and her friends, breakfast with Santa, and other fun Christmas events! 

Charlee Kate and her daddy on his birthday!
