We are excited this year to bring you the first ever Wilcox Family newsletter.
Time has flown by faster than we thought it ever would, yet much has happened this year. We have had times of sorrow and times of joy but above all we have had a year filled with love. Many blessing were made more apparent as we found ourselves opening our small home for family and yet still fit everyone who had come.
After being in the same ward for over 3 years (even after 3 moves) we were a bit surprised when our Stake Presidency changed the ward boundaries and placed us in a new ward! It has been a bittersweet experience; we miss seeing some of our friends on Sunday, but this has also opened the way for us to meet people and make new friends. With being put in a new ward, we were called to the primary to teach the 11 year old class. Surprisingly they all moved away (Not our fault…We swear!). So in lacking a class we were asked to substitute the 8 year olds until the New Year.
R finally started his own production company, partnering with a good friend he took a step into the venture of web film production and made Clockwork Ninja Films LLC a reality. He was very excited to receive a new calling as the 11 year old scout leader were he is now teaching those boys everything he knows…well, at least enough to not get themselves killed.
H began learning how to quilt this year from Grandma F. Although the quilt is not quite finished it is looking wonderful. As well she has found a love for running as this year she began running laps with a group of friends from church at a local park. She hopes to make it a life long habit. She was also called to be on the Relief Society Meeting Board.
A celebrated her 4th Birthday this year. When asked about it, she goes on and on about her pink cupcakes with sprinkles and pink ice cream. She has found a great love for all things girl this year, Disney princesses, dress up, and dancing to name a few. She is in the Sunbeams class in primary. After a rough start she now loves going to primary to be with her friends and to sing songs.
G turned 2 this year. He loves to talk, if given the chance he will talk your ear off. Although you may not understand every thing he tells you, he is learning many new words and makes sure to get his point across. G is very much a boy. He loves cars, trains, Bob the Builder, air planes, and anything else that screams boy. He loves to get into mischief, although most times he is just having fun with the things he gets into trouble with. He is in the Nursery at church and loves to learn new songs and make friends.
Surprise! We are expecting a new little one in June. We are looking forward to welcoming this child into our family. We will find out towards the end of December if it’s a boy or a girl. Either way we just want a healthy happy baby.
Some of our favorite quotes from the kids this year (A for the most part):
A was getting upset with G while they were playing. Being the avid watcher of Toy Story that she is she yelled at G saying “G, you are toy! G, you are toy!” (May 2010)
While eating Breakfast, H asked A if she liked her Captain Crunch. She looked at mommy very seriously and said “No” then she got a dreamy look in her eye and said “I love Captain Crunch”. Moments after, H was telling G to eat his cereal. A looked at Mommy sternly saying “Mommy, not cereal, it’s Captain Crunch.” (July 2010)
It’s been a bit of a crazy year at times, but full of wonderful moments. We are so thankful that we have one another and all of you!
