Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

Here is payson taking a ride down the hill. He got cold and enjoyed watching movies in the car, and entertaining Brooklyn. We had so much fun, we wished more family could have enjoyed it with us. maybe next time!

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

This is Kassidy and Parker. Parker and Chandler got pretty good riding the Snow Board down the hill. Erick made a sled out of a set of old skis. I think that was the favorite thing to ride down the hill. It was pretty fast and went far.

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

Friday and Saturday we went sledding with Brian and Ginger and Bart and Rachel and all the cousins. It was so much fun, it was snowing while we were there. It was such a good after Christmas activity. This is Erick and Payson. Payson wasn't sure he liked the cold snow. The rest of the kids really liked it. It was hard to pack up and go home.

Christmas 2008

Christmas day was so much fun. It was Brooklyn's first Christmas. She was so excited to hear the tearing of the wrapping paper. Santa brought her a soft baby like Kassidy's. We had a good day of playing, relaxing, and making messes. The trash just kept growing. Now we are just sad that it is over.

Christmas Eve with the Wiltbanks

Christmas Eve was alot of fun we had dinner and the traditional white elephant gift exchange. I think the kids are getting old enough to know how to play the game now, so it was quite fun. Payson wanted everyones gift. Then we sat and listened to Grandpa Wiltbank tell us a neat story about the Savior. Now that I am older I do miss Dad's lectures and thoughts about the Scriptures. Thanks Dad! Then to finish the evening we opened the gifts that Granny and grandpa gave all of us. They were Pillow cases with our names embroidered on them. Dad and Karen are the most thoughtful gift givers. The kids really enjoyed sleeping on their pillows. We missed Kerri and her kids,and Landon, but we were so glad that the rest of us could be together on such a special night. Thanks Guys for coming!

Santa pops in on the Wright kids!

Payson was a little scared of santa!

Kassidy was I think outgrowing Santa's lap!
Parker wasn't afraid of telling santa what he wanted!
And Brooklyn liked his beard! She wouldn't let go!
And Chandler had to be coaxed to sit on Santa's lap. Santa had to know what to bring him!


This year Santa came to the Wright home a few days early to check to see is they were being good and to take their lists. It was fun to have Santa come.

Here is a recent family picture in front of our Christmas Tree. This Christmas was so nice. We concentrated more on giving to others. Our Ward adopted 6 families in the community that needed help this year. Some people donated money and others food, and others donated their time shopping and delivering the presents. Sister Wilson, & Erick and I headed up the project and we could see all the neat things that people did. Our kids wrapped all the presents for our Family and they were so excited to be able to serve another family!

I need to catch up on blogs. Life has been so busy. This is a picture of our Christmas Dinner. Every Year Erick and I and the kids eat a nice candle lit dinner around Christmas time. We eat on china and listen to really pretty Christmas music, and we try to have a few lessons on manners too. The kids and Erick and I really enjoy the evening together!

I tag Judy and anyone else who wants to!

The Wright Family got to go to Disney Land This past week. It was a blast! Erick had a bad cold at the beginning of the week but by thurs and friday he was feeling better. parker and kassidy were my ride parteners. I even talked Kassidy and Parker into riding the California scream. It is a fast roller coaster that even goes upside down. Chandler is afraid of heights but we got him to ride a cute little roller coaster in Toon Town. He rode it about 10 times or so. It was so much fun to be at Disney land it really is Magical!

Erick and I took the kids over to Snow Flake to the pumpkin patch and the corn maze. The kids were so excited to pick out their own pumpkin. We were glad that Jaxten got go with us too. After the Pumpkin Patch we went to eat at mom's favorite restaurant Eva's. It was a wonderful evening together.

I am kind of behind so I will start with Halloween. Erick and I went to an adult Halloween party. Couples come dressed up, and we bring treats and play games. Glenna Christianson? sp? and her sister Amy are the hosts of the party. It was so much fun! Thanks Glenna and Amy. Erick and I dressed up as farmers and Brooklyn was our Pea Pod. Erick and I arn't really into the dressing up thing so I was trying to think up costumes that didn't involve to much work or embarrassment. Rachel bought the Ann Geddes costume for Payson a couple of years ago and the kids got it out and was trying it on Brooklyn, so I thought well brooklyn has to go so we should do the family matching thing and came up with the idea of FARMERS!

Kassidy's new do!

Kassidy got her hair cut on Wednesday. It makes her look so grown up. I'm not ready for that. kassidy is such a great help and a good daughter. she is doing woderful in school this year. She plays the piano so beautifully and I was watching her at dance the other day and she is so beautiful. kassidy's dance teacher took lessons from the famous Cambell's dance studio! does Cassie Morris ring a bell to any one? I just noticed my long lost friend posted a comment on one of my posts. Janice Anway is that you? Leave me your blog address

Who are all these kids and why are they calling me mom?

I am not old enough to have a Jr high daughter nor a 9, 6, 3 and a 2 month old. Here are some updated pictures of my kids. Kassidy got her hair cut yesterday and it looks really cute. I will have to take a picture and post it later. These pictures were taken at Parkers birthday. He got one of those Nerf Guns. The kids had a blast shooting each other. We might get more so the whole family could join in.

Board on the couch?

Well its about time I updated my blog. I just haven't had time too. School started and it seems that its a race between the time the kids get home from school and bedtime to get all the things we need to get done. Homework, Piano practicing, Dance lessons, Scouts, Showers, Dinner, baby feedings, Diaper Changing plus all the Relief Society Activities and meeting and Bishopric stuff also. This last weekend we went to Safford to visit Erick's family and we stopped by and visited our good friends Jewel and Jason and their family. Jewel and I were laughing because when we first met we had Kassidy and Emma and we were both pregnant with our second babies Parker and Wyatt. Jewel would come over to visit and we would sit on the couch so board, we were so board that we couldn't wait for Erick to come home for lunch so we would have some dishes to wash. We laughed because life has really changed. Jewel four kids later and me 5 kids later. Oh the good ol days. But I guess I wouldn't trade it though. It was so much fun seeing them again. It has been awhile but it was just like it used to be.

Great Weekend at the Wright House

Thanks to everyone who spent our special day with us. It was a Great Day. We are so blessed to be apart of the Wiltbank and Wright Families. Thanks Guys.

Labor day Weekend Uncle Dave took all the neices and Nephews for a train ride! Aunt Dana's parents have this cute little train. They had so much fun. There were fifteen grandkids at Grandma and Grandpa Wrights that weekend. Wow!

What did Uncle gary Do?

Look what uncle Gary got payson for his birthday! A cake! Go Uncle gary! Payson turned 3 on Labor Day weekend. Payson got to spend his birthday in Safford with his Wright Cousins, and then he opened presents when we got home in Eagar. He got a new tricycle.

Another Ten Fingers and Toes added to the Wright family!

The Wright Kids 2008 school year started out different this year! The kids woke up to no mom and dad at home. Mom and Dad were at the hospital delivering Brooklyn Elizabeth. Our Angel Neighbor, Roz Massey, came to stay with the kids. We are so thankful for all the people that have helped our family. We are truely blessed to live in a place that we have such wonderful family and friends! thanks to everyone who has helped us!

Grandpa brought the kids over to see their new little sister! Wow a sister, good job Erick! they were so excited to see her. I think Kassidy is going to have to fight Payson for Brooklyn. He has a hard time sharing her!

August 12th and 13th were long but rewarding days. The 12th was all the open houses and meet the teacher things, taking Kassidy to Jr. High, getting a locker and trying to find all her classes, plus moms Dr. Appointment, and then trying to get ready for the first day of school. It must have put mom over the edge, because when I finally sat down at 9:00 I realized that I was having contractions about every two minutes, way to close to have to drive all the way to Show Low. Erick finally got a reason to drive 90 mph all the way there. When we finally got there I got my epidural and waited and waited and waited. My contractions were about every 7 min. and the OB unit was very busy so I had to wait untill my Dr. came in at 5:00 am to start me on the PIT. and so Brooklyn was born at 10:21 am on the 13th of August! Long night, but very worth it!!!!!!

Brooklyn Elizabeth Wright - August 13, 2008 - 10:21 am - 6lbs. 5oz. - 20 in -Our Pretty in Pink Girl! We are so excited to have her here!

Brooklyn Elizabeth is finally here!

Erick going to scout camp!

This past week Erick went up to scout camp to help out. He spent the night Tuesday night, and was going to stay all day Wednesday, and be back late Wednesday night. He showed up Wednesday morning about 11:00 with a big bandage on his finger. I said alright what happened? He said well I got up to get the fires going, and was cutting some kindling, and slipped and cut my finger! So After passing out and bandaging himself up and driving himself into town to the doctor, and eight stitches later, Erick has a very sore finger and a small cut on his forehead. I am so greaful that he was being watched over and that he didn't get hurt worse!

After his doctors visit he went back up to scout camp, and ended up driving his nephew back into town for some stitches of his own. You will have to read Rachel's blog to hear Brayden's stitches story. I was excited to send Parker to scout camp in a few years, but maybe not now. Erick says its kind of wild all these 12 and 13 year old boys running around with pocket knives, dirtier than heck and no motherly supervision!

Another baby girl added to the Wright Family!

Kassidy was so excited to go to her baby sisters baby shower. She can't wait for brooklyn to come.

Do you think this will be enough? NOT!

Here are some of the cute pink clothes that Brooklyn gets to wear!

My wonderful friends Kim and Joyce Decided to throw me a baby shower. It was so much fun it was such a girley party, everyone dressed in pink. We ate girley food and played lots of baby shower games. Kassidy was so excited that she was able to go.

The highlight of the parade for our kids was seeing dad on our ward float and the loud helicopters fling above so close you could reach out and touch them.

We had a great 4th this year. It's always fun to see our family and friends. We love the hamburger eating, watermellon drippin', ice cream lickin', candy catchin', float watchin', sunburnin' GOOD TIMES, Day.
