Disneyland!

This week we went to Disneyland and had an amazing time! David and I haven't been to Disneyland since we were little and weren't really sure what to expect or how much our kids would like it. After our trip we both agree it exceeded our expectations. We had so much fun at it was so fun to see Spencer have fun. It was also great to have David's sister Tina and their family come with us. I fair warn you now, there are a lot of pictures!



Our matching plaid family :)


Mommy and Spencer after riding the rolloer coaster for the 4th or 5th time in a row. We just rode it with our hands up. I was so impressed, he didn't put them down once. I think I laughed the entire ride. He just seamed so little to do that!
This is the little roller coaster!


Jaxon and Eeyore

Spencer has been doing great potty training, but he did have two accidents while we were there. Once of which involved the shutting down of the carousel for about 20 minutes! So embarassing! David and I were actually riding the roller coaster right next to this at the time and poor Tina had to clean him up. So sorry and thanks again!




Spencer and Grisham in the background. They both LOVED the carousel.

Jaxon got to ride too.

David was a bit of a sucker for some of the treats at Disneyland. I happened to notice he typically bought them when I was off nursing Jaxon. Hmm...


The Dumbo ride was also one of Spencer's favorites.

Here's Tina, Radford and Grisham with us on the tea cup ride. Spencer giggled the entire time we were on this ride. :)


The boys and their first cotton candy. Spencer wasn't sure what to think of it at first, but soon he was loving it!

This was the first ride Spencer went on and also one of his favorites. I think he rode it 4 times while we were there. :)

We randomly caught this little singing quartet and as you can see, Spencer was mesmerized.

Spencer and David after riding the Matterhorn! I can't believe he rode it. He thought it was a little scary, but he didn't cry until the end because he thought they were going to go again!!

Clark County Fair!!




Spencer took this picture.^


Jaxon was SO good to keep this hat on all day and he looked so sweet!







On Friday we went to the fair with Tina and Grisham. I thought it was funny, Spencer kept calling it a circus. Until David asked him if he went to the circus and he said, "No Daddy, the fair!" The kids had a lot of fun and I thought of it as our test run for Disneyland. Spencer LOVED the pony rides and the carnival rides. He is so ready for Disneyland!!

My loves!!


Spencer has recently decided he is big enough to "hold" Jaxon. It is really funny, but it also makes me nervous he is going to try it by himself one day. He used to try to pick him up as a newborn and would drag him across the floor. It is much better now that Jaxon can sit, but now Jaxon can also crawl away, so you can see Spencer has quite the grip on him. I thought the picture was cute because Jaxon looks like he is waving, but I think he was just trying to keep from falling over as his brother squeezed him!!

My summer color

So I cut it again! I am actually growing it back to how I had it when I first cut it off and this is my transitional hair cut. I also got highlights for summer. You can't see them realy well, but this was the best picture of the cut. I had David take about 10, but for the first 5 the camera was set for picture at night so they weren't turnnig out well, then he took some from too far away and you couldn't see my hair well enough. Then the camera was being funny adn the flash was too bright, so when we got this one, I was done seeing flashes. :) I actually really like the cut. I love not having to do my hair everyday!!!

Touch a Truck!

On Saturday we went to the Touch-a-Truck event at the Orleans with some friends. The boys were in heaven. :) They all had a lot of fun and could have stayed all day if we weren't tired and hungry. We were there for about 2 hours and didn't even see everything. The helicopter was definately the highlight, but the wait was a little much. Thanks for standing in line for us Amy! It really was a lot of fun! We will definately have to go again next year! Thanks for calling Jamie!


The training wheels on this motorcycle made me laugh!


They really wanted to get IN this racecar. :)



I really was impressed that they were all willing to take turns behind the wheel!

Our week in pictures

Jumping on the trampoline with McKenna. They were cracking each other up. They were taking turns bouncing each other. It was really funny.
Babies turn on the trampoline! This is Jaxon and Madeline.

I jsut really liked this picture. They were both jumping and landing on their butts and then they would get up and do it again. They slept well that night. :)


This picture cracks me up evrytime I look at it. First of all he has crazy bed head so his hair is wild. Second he was wearing his batman cape and flying around the back yard. Third, is my favorite. If you look close at his lips you can see, he was runnig while making up his own theme song!!


This is an Awww moment. He was picking a flower for his friedn Cora who hadf just inspired him to finally start potty training. Yay!?! :)


Jaxon started eating chunkier foods. Here he is eating bananas. I love the kissy face he makes while chewing.


Arts and crafts day with mom. We found this train at the new Walmart for a whole 88 cents and it provided a great morning of entertainment.



This was actually still Easter. Sorry Spencer has no pants, it was late in the evening and I am not exactly sure what happened to them, but I thought this was a sweet picture. We had filled Jaxon's eggs with gerber puffs and Spencer was opening them and sharing with his brother. He would dump them out between them and they would go to town! I was surprised the dog didn't join in!! Spencer thought it was fun!

Easter Morning








Spencer did a great job finding eggs this year. That is, once he decided to come downstairs. He was afraid to come downstairs at first. It took about 5 minutes of convincing. I think he thought the Easter Bunny was still here! Too funny! Anyway, Jaxon found one egg and was done, so Spencer helped him with his too. In the end Jaxon was much more interested in the grass!!

Easter at Mom's

Jaxon and Uncle Trent!!

Easter Egg Hunt in Grandma's front yard.





The Last Egg. (Uncle Trent hid this one.)

Yummy!!!! Candy and hanging out with Grandpa, is there a better combination?

Finally!




Jaxon is finally crawling. Actually he has been doing it for about two weeks now, I just haven't posted it. :) He can also sit up from a crawl which is such a nice day. He follows Spencer around all the time now and crawls to Coby all the time. He thinks Coby is funny for some reason. :)

A few cute pictures




I haven't updated my blog in a while, so here are some cute pics of the boys and then I will post the Easter pics.
I love Jaxon's eyebrow in the picture. He looks like he is saying, "Ah, yes, I am going to eat that camera." :) He was actually watching Coby and Spencer outside just before this.
Spencer and his new golf set. His last cheap set from Walmart finally kicked the bucket, and I got tired of taping it. He plays golf almost everyday. It has been so nice outside, he plays ball with Coby and then golf almost every morning. Hmm, the next Tiger Woods?

A boy and his dog!


We have a new addition to the family. Last week Coby joined our family and Spencer could not be more excited. Everyday runs downstairs and out the door they go to play ball. I had to start inforcing a no ball before breakfast rule. :) They are too cute together. Spencer says he is his, "Best Friend."

I've been tagged!

1.-What is his name? David Andrew Wilcock
2-How long have you been married? 6 years (it will be 7 in May)
3-How long did you date? 11 months - Way too long for me! :)
4-Who eats more sweets? That is probably a tie. We both love them. When we do have them, David could definitely eat more, but I typically stop him. He is trying to lose some weight. HaHa.
5-Who said I love you first? David did. We had been dating for 4 months and had just returned from a vacation with my family where we had seen each other at our worsts. I figured if he could tell me after that, he must really mean it. He said it was at that moment he knew he was going to marry me. Awww...
6-Who is taller? David. I love to wear heels!!
7-Who can sing better? I can, but David isn't too bad. He would really like to learn how too.
8-Who is smarter? I would have to say it depends on the subject. He loves political and history stuff, but I love math and writing.
9-Who does the laundry? I could probably count on one hand the number of loads David has done. He is good to change the load from the washer to the dryer for me. :)
10-Who pays the bills? I do. We have tried it both ways, but it is much more likely to get payed on time if I do them, so it's me!
11-Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? If you are looking at the bed David sleeps on the right. I actually prefer to sleep on that side, but we switch when I was pregnant so I would be closer to the bathroom!! I actually sleep on that side so I can be next to the alarm too. Otherwise he would hit the snooze 5 times in the mornings. :)
12-Who cooks dinner? I do most of the time, but David really enjoys grilling and making up new recipes.
13-Who drives? David does most of the time, but occasionally I will when he is tired.
14-Who is more stubborn? Hmmm...It depends on the issue. :)
15-Who kissed who first? I kissed David first, which is very unlike me. We had only been dating a week, but we had seen each other everyday. I still tease him because it was the worst kiss ever. Why, you ask? He didn't kiss me back!! He did, however, make up for it the next day.
16-Who asked who out first? Again, against my norm, I asked him. He had been flirting with me for months and for some reason never got up the courage, so when me friends planned a big group date, I got up the courage. I never had to ask again. :)
17-Who proposed? David did. It was late on Valentine's Day and we had just returned from a college class we were taking together. He made me open my V-day's presents first which included some pans!! Not the most romantic, but it worked!
18-Who wears the pants? We both do. We actually have a great relationship and are really good at talking things out.

I tag Emily B. I think all my other friends have recently done this!!

Spring is coming!


I am so glad that Spring is coming. I took this picture in my backyard this weekend and it just got me looking around. I was so excited to see all the tree blooming. Spring is my favorite time of year. I love watching everything turn green again. It also got me in the mood to start deep cleaning my house. I know its crazy, but I love it. I just thought I would share this picture, in case you have all been too busy to notice all the beautiful buds outside. Thank you for Spring!

Take me out to the ball game!


On Saturday we were finally able to spend some time with our very missed Daddy. Tax season is hard on all of us! We both spent some time with Spencer out back while Jaxon took a nap. It was a lot of fun and at times very funny! Oh, and yes he did just throw that silver ball in the air. Sometimes when he is being silly he closes his eyes and gets turned all the way around when he throws. That way you know he threw it really hard. :)


Catch, mommy, catch!


This is my favorite picture of the day. I was laughing so hard after I took it. He tries so hard. :)
He loves his dad!

Now that I have shown you all of Spencer's hilarious blooper's of the day, I have to show you the video of him almost smacking David in the head with the ball! He really isn't too bad. :)

Spencer and Grisham

On Friday Spencer's cousin, Grisham, came over to play. These boys just love each other. These two are going to be trouble when they're older! I must say though, Spencer is also quite fond of his Aunt Tina too. :)




Go, Jax, Go!

I finally got it on film! Spencer and Jaxon "racing." It still cracks me up everytime!

Spencer and Cora


Spencer had his friend Cora over earlier this week and the were so cute together. He is normally not always great about sharinf his toys, but he was super sweet the whole time and

they were being so cute as the danced to Backyardigans! It is so nice when they are good... the rest of this week has been rather long so it is so nice to look back at the good times. It seems Cora brings out the good in all of her little boy friends. They all seem to love her!
