Before


After


Heidi and I at her dad's wedding!


Call me strange but I like the muddy, slush snow..

Jillaina's letter to Santa and his response.

 

My Christmas shoes!!




"I'm a pirate!"





Best. Babysitter. Ever.


I love the sky too much.

My whole life for those two weeks that I was sick.. books, homework, crocheting, and tv series.

I dunno..

*I have NO idea how long this has been sitting in my drafts, it has to have been a couple of months... sorry that it never posted! But throwbacks are always fun too! :)

32 days.

 

Hi.

That's how long until I will be in New York City for the very first time. Back in February our trip to Ukraine had to be canceled due to unrest in the country.  But we are all really excited for NYC! Partly nervous, but mostly excited. 

one of my favorite days in New York, visiting the half frozen lake.

Visiting Grandma's gravestone for the very first time..


Niagara tho...

And thennn, only 42 days until we go to Minnesota for Kortney and Mat's wedding. I can't wait to see all my New York family again! I've missed them so so SO much.. although two months isn't very long, it has felt like so much more!

The past months have been pretty crazy, with babysitting and preparations for the mission trip. I've also been looking at colleges, it is so weird that I am old enough to make a for sure decision for my future. There are so many different things that I could choose and I am only supposed to choose one? Choices, choices...How fun.

 Relaxing in OKC with some of my favorite kiddos.


"He thinks I'm his daddy! Silly kitty!"


No comment. ;)


Tuesday was Jillaina's 10th birthday, we had chicken and rice for dinner, and cake after with some of our older brothers and sisters. Heidi surprised me with a visit, I've missed her! It is weird not to see her very much anymore. Hopefully this summer we can hang out more!

"Kitties!!"

Easter at Jennaea and Ben's

 

Yay for cousins!

 

And grandmas and uncles!

 

Favorite photo from a couple weekends ago.

This is a public service announcement:
Sonic now has NERDS slushies. I recommend the grape with NERDS. You would think that adding to such a great flavor as grape would be superfluous, but believe me, it's not! They are way up there with cranberry limeades(lite ice, extra limes, and the occasional addition of lemons)

Hey... if anyone wants free kittens we've got seven.. but seriously. Come and get'em.

I love making birthday cards. :)

 

You know you needed to laugh..

I guess that's all.
Until next time.
Stay real folks.






 

uhm?

 

I am dazzled by the sky. always.

 

 

I've been sick for almost two weeks now and it's been miserable.

Because January is my month for nursery at church, and I LOVE nursery, especially on Sundays because there are so many more kids! I love kids, they are so much easier to get along with than adults. I was only in nursery three out of the four sundays that I was supposed to work. Now that, is just sad.

 

On lighter note, I'm feeling much better. I mean, I can hardly hear out of my left ear(ear infection or something?) but I had my first full nights sleep in three weeks last night! So its not all bad. Also, I got switched to the bass clef in bell choir, which makes me so incredibly happy, since I pick it up so much easier than I did the treble clef. I do miss my old treble clef neighbor though, Sarah was the best. Anyway, happiness, okay?

 

THIS: Pompeii  

seriously, a song about history. this is just so good.

please, just listen to this.

 

TWENTY-FOUR DAYS UNTIL NEW YORK. yayyayyyaay! I haven't been to New York for eight whole years, and that is an awfully long time. I am so excited to see all my New York cousins and aunts and uncles! I wish there was less time between now and then.

 

I don't like meetings or hats. or orange juice. or medicine.

I like summer and good books(I recently read The Selection... definitely a re-read!). also, water. and caramel.

I have this thing against colored toothpaste.

I think that by the ocean would be a cool place to live.

 

Okay, that's all. I just wanted to say hey.

Someday my post with lots of pictures will finally upload!

Until then, xoxo

-jkr-

 

p.s. I've decided that I just LOVE the blue.. a lot. Change is good.



Hi.

 

I suppose I owe you all an apology for leaving you for so long.

So.

I'm sincerely sorry.

Now, If you have accepted my humble apology,

please, please, continue on to hear of my lame excuse.

(and of my random life)

 

We hosted our annual Wilson Reunion this past weekend.

Lemme tell ya, it was something else!

Relatives traveled from all around.

Colorado, Texas, Indiana, New York, Minnesota.

There were about 50 people at my house

it felt a little bit like grand central station at times

we played a lot of games of Five Crowns.

(i lost them all)

I met my dear new baby cousin, Jack.

(that kid is adorable)

we ate too much food.

At times the sound of all the voices got overwhelming.

I made some pretty fantastic Chicken Soup, if I do say so myself.

I missed my Matthews cousins.

(a lot)

the weather was fantastic.

my best friend came and stayed the weekend.

she is really cool.

Isaac posted everything we did on the Facebook event page.

Everyone stayed up too late making memories.

The guys played basketball a lot.

The girls took walks up and down the dirt road.

We made several Wal-Mart runs.

Nights were spent around the piano singing hymns.

All in all.

We had a fantastic time.

(but we missed the ones who didn't make it)

 

Sometime I will write a post with a bunch of pictures from off the Facebook Event page.

 

I love you.

 



Things you should know about me:

I am a lover of books. I could read ALL day long and not get bored. 

I like fast things. Like roller-coasters and water slides. They terrify me, yet I love them so much. 

I could eat Popsicles for every meal and be totally okay with it. 

I like to talk, OK, I love to talk. I talk a lot. 

I love the ocean. Even though I've never seen it before. I imagine it's kind of like the night sky, endless and sparkly... and yes, I know that there is an end to the ocean. But you can't see it so it doesn't really count. ;) 

Those are some things you should know. I'd like to get to know you more too, comment, maybe? Love you-- your J-girl :) 

Yah, mon. I've always been this wild and crazy, even at two years old.
