Libby's Laughs


so one of the main reasons I'm blogging is to keep a record (like a scrapbook) for my kids that I can hopefully print off at some point. So this post is for Libby. She gave her first talk in primary yesterday and I was so proud of her. She helped write the talk (including picking out the picture prompts) and read most of it herself. (all of it at home before we left, of course!) She also made a story today - she set up her animals and told me what to write and she took the pictures with our "old" camera. (like corey will EVER let her touch the new one!!) SHe's growing up so fast and I love her craziness, her excitement for life and the way she processes things. SHe's quick to share and help.


She's always smiling and genuinely cares for others. She LOVES being center of attention and LOVES being zany and silly. She's got an infectious laugh that gets David and Cadie going, too. I love you, Libby!

The Monkey's Party
by Libby Wilson



Once upon a time there was a silly brown monkey.

She had 100 friends over for a party.

Then silly brown monkey and lizard-that –loves-to-swim went swimming.

When they came back all of the party friends were gone and that made monkey sad.

So then some dogs came back and they had a dog party instead. The monkey was super happy. The End.

week of fun





well, we had a full, fun week. again! The kids said some hilarious things (Libby: "Cadie, if you see something green, you should probably eat it. It just might be cucumber." Cadie: "Lets play house! Libby, you be the mommy, I be the baby and Mommy, you be the camel." and many more that I just can't remember. It's been nice having Corey home because he can laugh with me and finally gets what I mean when I say our kids are psycho! On Monday we had friends over and went to the library. On Wednesday we went to Kids day at the stampede and got to see Chelsea's family. On Thursday we went to the southland stampede breakfast and swimming. On Friday we had our annual Calaway park day with the Wilson family. Yesterday we went to our ward stampede party, and to top it all off, it was "wilson day" at church - Corey and I spoke in sacrament and then Libby had her first talk in primary - I was so proud of her, she did a great job. After such a fun week, it's no wonder Cadie fell asleep during dinner! :)
