Thank you uncle JOEY for keeping us FREE!!!!

Statton's Uncle Joey is away in Iraq, keeping us safe here at home. We are so thankful for his sacrifice. We love and we'll see you FEB. thanks Brie, Grady and Brenleigh for letting us all borrow you daddy and husband. Joey is a great daddy and misses them very much. We are lucky to get to have him in our family.

BBQ to kick off the festivities starting tomorrow morning

A very brunette aunt Jess is GREAT with Statton. I tell Chris I need a live in Jessica.

All smiles

Two beauties Drew and Jordynn


Then to the Parade.
Theme American Heros

Check out this float , It's actually good. Last time I was at this parade it was pick up trucks filled with people throwing candy and advertising their company and now real live floats .

even a military fly by??? so cool

There was a class float for every "8" year back to 1958. In the words of Chris, "Every Fourth of july is a class reunion in Eagar."


Seriously George Washington praying made out of tissue paper!!


Riley and Grady wait patiently for the next round of candy coming their way
Sleepy Statton

The First annual
Wilson's VS. Wilkinson's
Horse Shoe competition

Yes there was a trophy and everything here we have Riley showing it off. She wanted to be the one to give away the trophy little did she know( or all of us know) that the competition would go on for 5 hours

Grandpa and Statton are soooo not impressed with the Wilkinson family

Now every Wilson Grand child has tried to pick off grandpa's mole...

But Statt is the first to try and eat it off..

He liked the tire swing but was not impressed when we took him four wheeling..

Take me out to the RODEO...

I like rodeos. They are very patriotic and they still said a prayer before they started. Thank goodness we had three former ranchers( Chris Sharon and Jessica) to keep me informed or in the know about the rodeo events.

Stattman fell asleep at his first rodeo not to exhilarating for him.

This horse beat these guys up. They're from New Mexico and we actually met them at the Rodeo dance later that evening BLAck eyes, scratches, bruises, but no broken bones!!!

Check out this little fatty completely off the ground!!! If a two ton bull can jump that high, then I should too.

Don't let the bed bugs bite...poor baby

I had to make a light and airy title to this one because I could still tear up thinking about it. First of I would like to say we are a clean home with beliefs in antibacterial cleaners vacuuming dust and sanitization.
Monday night Statton woke up at 11:30 kind of fussy. I went in and gave him back his binky, he stopped fussing until I walked out of the room. Sometimes we just let him work it out and fall asleep. But I thought, "I want to rock my baby." I walked back in and picked him up a second time. He snuggled in and immediately I felt something bitting my chest. I ran into our room and said "I think there are ants in Statton's Crib". We go runningback in and pick up the blanket laying flat across his sheet. We picked it up to find hundred of ANTS!!! I run back to our room and start stripping down Statton. I pulled his binky out of his mouth to find ants under it, bitting around my baby's lips. I KNOW TERRIBLE at this point I am balling....Luckily he had on footie PJ'S, so the ant bites were only(as if to make sound a little better) on the skin that was showing. He had a least 25-35 bites on his neck and ten white and red bump bites around his mouth. He looked terrible. And would you get this I had an exterminator apt. scheduled for 9:00 the next morning. I called poison control, because each little bite is a bit of ant poison. They said to call 911 and have them check him out. Chris was our hero by conquering the ants.

Things I am thankful for:
That I walked back in rather that being the sleep Natzi

Statton was wearing jamies covering his his arms legs and toes.

that there was a blanket down so Statt wasn't laying in the middle of the hundreds of ants, just being eaten by the select few who ventured out on top of the blanket

Bug killing exterminators

A husband to fight our battles in the middle of the night

that Statton was giggling like crazy through this entire event, if he acted in pain it would have been even more traumatic

and last and most importantly ......

THAT STATTON IS NOT ALLERGIC TO ANTS

Babies have died from this kind of thing before and I'm so grateful that Statton is healthy today.
Blessings Blessings Blessings
