Crazy January!

January has been crazy!!! I thought we would have a nice calm month after the holidays, but not so. It's been crazy insane weather, crazy sick, trying to unpack, family visiting. Crazy good and crazy chaotic, but mostly it was fun!
 
They love to snuggle together in the morning.

They love to hold hands in the car!

 
Jakob has had a hard time sleeping in his new room. He also got strep and an ear infection at the end of January and then gave it to me. It was a rough few days.


 

 
Grammy came to visit! They started out with a laundry fight! Then played games and had tons of fun.
 


 
Jakob loves to be thrown in the air! He asks for it all day!
 

 
 
We have had terrible weather! We got a huge snow storm; lots of wind and snow, about 10 inches. Then it's been wind, wind, wind. There are drifts so high you can no longer see people's fences. Emma had her first snow day the day after the storm because there was so much snow. We couldn't even get down our street. The roads are still awful. I got stuck the other day just driving down the street taking the kids to school. It's been crazy and I'm excited for warmer weather! Emma was playing with neighborhood friends in the snow most of the day but I forgot to get pictures of her. Here is Jakob standing in the snow but he wasn't too thrilled about it. It was really cold!
 

 

 
Grammy got to say a couple extra days with us because the weather was so bad. We took her to Casper to the airport on Saturday and the roads were awful! There were times all I could see was white. It was so good to have my mom here. She helped me decorate my house and get things settled in. Lots of busyness! I'm so ready for Spring. I'm sure lots of good things are coming!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Here is our Christmas card for this year. The back didn't turn out the best. Oh well! We had a crazy year! I'm so excited to see what this new year brings! 2016 is going to be great!


 
New Year's Eve we ended up eating at Denny's and then going to our friends the Willdens to play some games! We put the kids to bed and then Robert and I watched a movie. We barely made it until midnight! I was soooo ready for bed! I'm so excited for everything that 2016 will bring!
 
 
 
 
 

Wilhelm Christmas 2015

Even though we were busy moving and trying to get settled we still had a good Christmas. Right after we signed the papers on Tuesday I headed over to Emma's school to go to her party. She loves school and has so much fun!
 

 
That night we got our Christmas tree up among all of the boxes and craziness.





 
 
Christmas Eve
My favorite night of the year!
 
Opening Christmas Jammies and a book called "Santa Comes to Wyoming", reading that book and then reading the Christmas story in Luke, then prayers and bedtime! The kids had fun and we were so ready for bed!
 
 
 
 
 
Christmas Morning!
 
The kids had so much fun! Emma woke up a few times in the night. We finally all got up at 7. Except Jakob who decided to sleep in. We finally woke him up at 8.  Emma completed her Cheetah family and Jakob got a awesome work bench for all of his tools! They got towels with their names on them and lots of other fun stuff. I wish I would've taken more pictures.
 






 
 
 
 

Move in Day!

On December 21st the day finally came we got to move into our house! We didn't get to close until the next day but we were able to move in, FINALLY!!!

We spent the whole day moving. We had lots of help from friends. Jakob was so attached to his Daddy and would not let him put him down all day.
 

 
Turning the key!


 
Signing the papers the next day!

 
 
 
 
 

Emma's Dance Recital

 
Our beautiful ballerina! Emma had her dance recital on the 19th and she did great! We were so proud of her!

Jakob's Birthday!

Our little boy is 2 years old! I can't believe it! He is growing up so fast! We had a little birthday celebration for him. It wasn't a very eventful birthday since we moved the next day but he sure loved it! Here are some things Jakob is doing now.
 
  • He is jumping and running around like crazy!
  • He loves cars, trains, and his tools.
  • He also loves to play with baby dolls.
  • He loves to play with his sister. They have so much fun together.
  • He is super cuddly and loves to snuggle.
  • He is still working on talking but he signs and says lots of words. He says, mama, dada, Emma, hello ( he loves to pretend to answer the phone), bye, whoa, uh huh, uh oh. He signs I love you by blowing you a kiss. He signs, more, drink, eat, car, and other things too. He loves the song popcorn popping and loves to try and sing along. He loves to give sounds to everything, like cars, spray bottles, all kinds of things.
 Here are some fun pictures from his birthday.
 
Birthday Pancakes and snuggles for Daddy!
