Family Tree

Saturday, June 18th, 2011

Day in San Diego

Tuesday, June 14th, 2011

We’re currently down in San Diego visiting my parents and we went out to Buca di Beppo for dinner. We had a really nice day starting with a trip to Balboa Park to the Ruben H. Fleet Science museum where the kids were able to run around in the Kid City. Kid City is a [...]

JR – The TED Prize Winner

Friday, April 8th, 2011

This is amazing…the video is a little long, but it just keeps getting better and better. I’m in awe… (Note: It takes a while to load. If the video keeps the spinning wheel in the middle, you can pause it and then press play again and it will disappear.)

Mammoth

Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011

Last weekend we took a trip up to Mammoth with my parents. It was our first time and we ended up having a really great time. We were a little concerned at the start because of the huge storm that was supposedly rolling in right at the time that we were driving up. But we [...]

Here are some pics of Ethan after an unprecedented 3 1/2 hour nap. He must have been getting some really good sleep because he ended up with some awesome nap hair! It’s almost like a piece of art! Hollywood hairstylists be warned…

Baby Elias’ First Steps

Tuesday, December 28th, 2010

Baby Elias finally did something today that I thought he could have probably done for a couple of months now…he took his first steps! After turning 11 months, he decided he was ready! We were soooo excited! I saw him kind of take a half step and I was like, “Oh my goodness…he’s about to [...]

Singing Sensation

Tuesday, December 7th, 2010

Ethan was eating his tangerines and felt like singing, so I busted out the iphone video and did a little recording. He was getting a little distracted by actually eating his tangerines, but overall did a stand-up job of a musical performance. So, without further ado, here is 2 1/2 year old Maestro Ethan Wilkinson…

Someone loves a Dyson!
