Plumbing Problems

Hey, Daddy. Whatcha doing?
Why are you doing that? How comes you have to be under here? Why are you using that thingie? What about the other part? Why are you unhooking that? What if I need a drink? Why are those pipes white? What's the black thing? Why are you unplugging that? What does 'lectricuted mean?

Oh, I don't think you are suppose to say that word, Daddy.

I don't think Mommy needs my help. This is much more fun.

Don't you think, Daddy?

The Amazing Athletic Prowess of Wixom Men

E-man is playing football this fall. He is doing great. He is number 3 on the orange team.

Roman is also make great strides athletically.

Make sure you have the sound on. Roman wants you to know what hard work this is.

WWII Fighter Planes

Maid in the Shade and Sentimental Journey were here a few weeks ago. Of course, we had to go check 'em out.

Any plane that you start with a fire extinguisher in hand is a plane I don't want to ride in!

Old school jeep

Idaho Falls Power Station Tour

Grandma Tina and Grandpa Phil took E-man and Roo to the Power Station tours on Saturday. It was awesome! They got to ride in the BOOM trucks...

and (our favorite thing ever!) play in the bouncy houses.

Thanks for a great day, Grandma and Grandpa!!!

You can hear Roman crying, and the bouncing is from me trying to calm him. Enjoy!

Breakfast for Four

E invited some friends over for breakfast this morning. He split his PB&J (yes, that's a breakfast food) four ways so everyone could have some.

Pocatello Water Park

We went to the Pocatello Water Park this week. Loved it! We are already planning a trip back!

Meet Rapunzel and Cowgirl!
Justin wants more eggs. So, we got more chickens!

A Plague on My House?

Of all the Plagues of Egypt, I always felt that the frogs were fairly harmless. Now, I find them everwhere. My own Plague of Frogs, thanks to E.

In my bedroom:
If these weren't toys, I would freak out.

Camping at Snake Lake

Whenever the kids play pretend camping, they camp at Snake Lake. I don't know why. It sounds like a horrible place to camp, what with the snakes and all. Last night, E-man asked to camp out at Snake Lake. He spent the night on the living room floor. Slept through everything - BW3 waking and crying, Mom and Dad walking through the living room dozens of times, and his crazy mother taking pictures of him sleeping.

The Boy Who Lived

We saw Harry Potter 7.2 on Friday. BW3 came with us. This is what happens when you wait in line at HP 7.2 and get bored.

Yes, I know I put the scar on the wrong side of his head.
Sheesh.

T-Ball in Idaho

To play t-ball in Idaho, first you have to find your winter coat and hat on June 9th. Then, you have to wait for the rain to stop. (Thanks to CJ's dad for making the cool shelter!) At the same time, your mom sits in the car beacuse she is too wimpy just had a baby and has to stay with him.
Yea! for Coach Megan. She helped Roo hit the ball!
On 1st base...
"Where's home plate? Or third? What base am I suppose to run to???"

Two Weeks!

BW3 is now two weeks old. He had his two-week check up this morning. Here are the important facts:

Current Weight: 7 pounds 7 ounces

Length: 20.75 inches

Disposition: Super laid back...until he gets hungry

Favorite Place to Sleep: In someone's arms

New Pictures

My kids just finished their session at FotoFly, a studio in Utah. Here are only three of the dozens of pictures that were taken there. It was hard to narrow it down to three to post today. I will post more later, but here is a sneak peak:

He is Finally Here!

Finally, after months of waiting... Baby Wixom the Third is here! No more creepy alien looking pictures!
Just super-cute pictures of my sweet, new baby boy.

Kindergarten Graduation

E-man graduated from Kindergarten this week. We are so proud of him! He was a mid-year transfer (he switched schools in January). In the few months he was at his new school, he finished his "green book" and read 30 books! What a great student!
Here are some highlights from graduation:
When your last name starts with W, you are always one of the last ones called. Finally! Getting the Certificate of Awesomeness! E with his teacher, Miss Z.Enjoying a post-ceremony cookie with his sister: The proud parents:

Glitter Nails!

I had a doctor's appointment this week, so Roo went to Grandma Tina's to spend the morning. Grandma Tina had a hair appointment that same morning, so Roo had to go with her while I was at the doctor. Guess what else happens at the hair place?

GLITTER NAILS!!!

Yup, my four year old had a professional manicure.

Thanks Grandma Tina! You are the best!

The New Bedroom

Subtitle: I sold my child's soul to George Lucas

E-man's basement bachelor pad has been finished for a week. We haven't blogged it yet because we were waiting for the finishing touches (seen below). This is the super-delux closet Justin built. I would like to point out that it is nicer than my closet.

E loves Star Wars. He was so excited when we found these wall stickers online. Then, he waited two whole weeks for them to arrive. Then, he waited some more while I canceled the order because it took two whole weeks, and the stickers still hadn't come. We found a set at Target here in town (in their new display put up after I ordered the stickers online).

E is so excited! He loves his new room and hasn't had any problems adjusting to sleeping downstairs.

Easter!

The Easter Bunny came to our house on Sunday. Whoo-hoo! We love loot!
Roo got all kinds of make-up, lipstick, and fingernail polish. Also, Zoobles and princess stuff.
E-man got Ninja Legos and Bakugan. There aren't any pictures of E with his basket and loot because he woke up super early, snuck his basket downstairs, and went to town while the rest of us slept!
Dressed in our Easter best! I love the black/white scheme and coordinated kids.
