Hey everyone!! I hope that you guys had a great Christmas. Hear is a very funny website that will have you rolling about mom stuff. http://inthemotherhood.msn.com/?GT1=10749 Watch episode one it is the funniest. I thought that everyone could use a good laugh!! Oh I cut my hair short for the first time in 23 years!?! It was fun! We will see how long it lasts! Take care!

Merry Christmas late,,,

Hello everyone! I just wanted to say Merry Christmas to everyone. I don't get as much time as I used to so I don't post much or check the blog. When Emily is sleeping I have to choose what must be done and then if there is time then what I want to get done. All you mothers know how this goes. It has been a very busy month for us but in between all the Christmas stuff we blessed our little baby on December 23rd. Scott and I had a lot of family in town that we wanted to be at the blessing so we decided to bless her really early. We did it at Scotts parents so we wouldn't have to take her to church. These area few more pictures of Emily. Our Christmas card picture we used and she has been a little sick and the only place that she would sleep was in her tub. Silly baby but it helped her sleep. Hope everyone had a great Christmas!! The Wilsons

THIS FRIDAY

Just a couple things.
I need to know a rough estimate of who is coming by Thursday so we can get the bread bowls; If you know someone who is coming that hasn't posted just list their name for me.

I think that we will just hang out after dinner, unless you are dying to play a game with everyone, then you can bring one.

I'm pretty sure that's all Oh wait if anyone is trying to decide on what to bring we're lacking in the goodies department!

Thanks for helping and I hope your week goes well! And I'll see you on Friday!

PREGNANCY AND BABIES

so everyone is pregnant or already has kids and i was feeling a bit left out. so i made something. damn i'm funny. but seriously... who has kids and who is pregnant.... and for those of you who are still confused, i'm not pregnant.

New edition

Hey there friends, I thought it was about time to post. It has been a really really long time.... So Things are great. We moved into a new house about 2 months ago. I really like it. The house is awesome and the neighborhood is perfect. There are alot of young couples that live around us, so we have prospects of future friends, it we get out to meet some people. Clint graduated on Friday!! HEYYYYY!! Finally!!! We were pretty excited! But our most exciting news is the birth of our newest edition, Miss Raini Pedersen! She was born on December 11, at 9:52 am. After a fun night at the hospital, and a quick delivery she was born. Everything went smooth. I thought life was going to be so hard with 2 kids. I never knew how I could love anyone as much as I love Bode, but it is amazing how much love you can have for your kids. She is beautiful in every way and I can't think of anything more amazing than bringing children into this world. Anyway, sorry for getting so sentimental. I just love all you guys and hope you are enjoying your Christmas season!

Merry Christmas

I thought that it would be fun to post our Christmas card online instead of sending a bunch out. I hope that everyone is having a great holiday season anis able to spend some time with the ones that they love! Merry Christmas! Love you all!

Car for Sale!

My nurse Sid is selling her gold 2005 Honda Accord if anyone is interested or knows someone who is. It has 36,000 miles on it and says its a gem!

Harp this Sunday

Hey everyone! I just thought I would let you all know I am playing my harp in my parents ward this Sunday, the 9th. A bunch of you asked me to tell you when my recital was and I forgot to post it. So I thought I would tell you about this. My parents ward is at 11:00. The address is 9150 south 1300 east. It is the cream church by the Kinder Care and Western Gardens on 13th.

Another baby picture

I wanted to post this picture because its my favorite so far. This was taken the day Emily was born. Emily is officially 1 week old. When I was up with her this morning at 4:31 it was crazy to think that last week I was giving birth to her at 4:31. It has been a fun and tiring week! Now I know how all you moms feel.

HO HO HO!!

Hi Everyone!! I hope that everyone is having a great holiday season!! Every year my family and I adopt a family for Christmas instead of exchaning gifts for the adults. It has turned out to be one of my most favorite thins to look forward to and I get more excited picking out toys for the children than I do for my own. This year we have a family that has relocated here due to the Katrina disaster. There is a single mom who works 2 jobs, a 10 year old boy, a 6 year old girl and a 3 year old boy. My siblings and I have split the children up between us. We are asked that each child receive two articles of clothing, two toys and a book. Now that isn't alot to get them, however when I sat back and looked at it, I realized that this is probably all that these kids would be getting for Christmas, and that isn't alot. Especially considering that they probably lost and had to leave behind alot at their home back east, due to Katrina. Anyways I was just wondering in anyine wanted to pitch in with extra toys of clothes of even something nice for the home that a family would enjoy. Like I said, we are going to cover their main gifts, but I just feel bad that we personally can't give them more, which they need probably more than any of us do. If you have any ideas or would like to pitch in, email me at janessa.whatcott@hotmail.com or call me at 891.1372. Oh and everything has to be done by the 17th. Thanks, love you all Janessa

Advent Calendar

I was checking out my cousin's blog today and saw the cutest advent calendar ever that she made!! I try to be crafty, and sometimes succeed and sometimes don't, but I totally want to make this!! I don't have these stamps or anything, but I think I will just make some minor adjustments and make something work. I'll post a pic on my blog if I finish it and it looks decent! But here is the link to check out the tutorial:

See what you think!

Christmas "Party" Details

So the 21 does seem to work out well for most. This party will also be a farewell to Adam and Becky before they leave for the wild wild west!

I was thinking dinner around 6:30; I will make a tomato basil soup, bread bowls, and crackers and a cheese ball. If you guys could bring the odds and ends, fruit, vegetables, dessert, drinks you know what you like. If someone dares to make another soup that would be awesome. I will have plates, cups, etc... Just post what you will do on the blog so others can figure out what they will do.

Then theres the question of what to do after dinner, ideas are very welcome we could just mingle, or do a white elephant gift, or some kind of game???

THERE ARE NO INVITATIONS, STRICTLY WORD OF MOUTH SO INVITE WHO YOU TALK TO, EVERYONE IS WELCOME!

I'll post directions to my house later, if you have any other comments/questions, post 'em or
e-mail me at brobutton@gmail.com

p.s. this is my first planning/gathering event so there's bound to be some screw ups.
