After the show 

Doodle's not really sure about this

Grammy and Pop came just to see Maisy's dance.

Good job Maisy!  We love you.

Cuter by the second!

It's Wilson again. So I've decided to put together  something called Doodle Expressions. It's the expressions of Doodle. ALSO I would like to play a game called find Wilson. There is a picture of me disguised as a Doodle Expression, Try and Find it. 

This one is BASHFUL

 SURPRISED

IN SHOCK

 DEPRESSED

 GRATEFUL

UNINTERESTED

 EMBARRASSED

 CONFUSED

Did you like Doodle expressions? I you find me, comment which expression I am! There's a new post every Sunday!

Dorian's Baby Blessing

Brett taking over the blog tonight.

Since it's May, why not blog about New Year's?  Perfect timing!  Since Doodle was getting blessed, we were able to enjoy lots of time with the extended family.  We loved every minute of it!

 Here's what the dawn of 2012 brought our way--

We watched the Mighty BYU Cougars pull out a hard-fought victory in the Armed Forces Bowl.  Last-second heroics by Riley Nelson sealed the victory, and sent us all into hysterics. My dad Wayne is a good luck charm for the Cougs.  They almost always win when he watches them live.

  

The cousins were here!  Our kids LOVE it when Eliot, Olive, and Bodhi come up for some fun.  Here we are on a little hike at Erwin Park in McKinney.

New Year's Eve!  We put the FUN in FONdue.  (I know it's not perfect, but work with me here, people)

The aftermath of the baby blessing.  We are so fortunate to have a loving, supportive family.  It was great.

Doodle being sassy.

How much can a baby grow in five months?  Check out a recent Doodle clip!

Stitches

So,  there has been a lot of stuff going on. We've gone to Houston, Wilson has turned 10 (very excited), but the biggest thing that happened is Wilson just got Stitches!  I fell down when I was running and got a HUGE cut on my knee.  I got 14 stitches at the hospital.  I will be getting them out really soon and I can start playing baseball again.  I can't wait!Warning!! this next graphic is for those with a stomach of steel!

My big cut before the stitches

After

Hey who's getting cute? Here's some more Doodle!

Doodle chillin' with the ladies!

                                

Ready for a bath!

 Doodle Dancing!

  

Yeah we're cool.               

     

They grow up so fast!

Dorian and Christmas

During the christmas season Dorian Charels Gustaveson was born . Ever since  Doodle (A.K.A Dorian) has attracted major attention. there have been so many pictures. With the flash of every camera Doodle is a celebrity as we know it! Here are some cute pictures of him!  

"Daddy, Daddy the Sky is falling!"  "I see it son!"

In this picture you see dad holding Doodle, and Maisy and Wilson are close to him.

As you see Dorian is winking at you. Lets get a close up.

So Cute!!

Right now Grammy is holding the little guy. Yes this is Wink Watch and as you see Dorian is winking right now!

Somebody got us a Fondu maker! Here we are enjoying it!

"My little toesies are tickling ya!"

So that was our photo story of the weeks before Christmas break. 

Just in case you want to know Wilson is taking over the posting

Halloween

I know, I know!  Halloween was a long time ago.  BUT, I had to document it, so bare with me.  Maisy was a Fairy Farmer Girl.  She couldn't decide between a fairy or a farm girl--so we just combined the two!  The costume actually turned out cute.

Ace was a ninja of course.  He loved every minute of it.

Wilson was a baseball player with a black eye.  I keep forgetting that he is growing up and likes to put 9-year-old-boy twists on things now.

They got tons and tons of candy and were very excited about it.  I think we just finished all of the Halloween candy last week.

I promise the next post will be about Dorian!!!
