What's Happening in the Wilcox Home?

Well lots has been going on in the Wilcox home. Carson finally started walking the day after Mother's Day. Chill finished up his classes and graduated. We've been able to spend time with family and friends. I went out with some of my girl friends from college and Chill has been working on his golf game whenever possible. He's also been playing Mr. Mom because I've been working a lot to try and support this family of three! I can't complain though because we have been having a great time and very much enjoying his time off.


Walking
Well I had a video of Carson walking but of course I can't get it to load. He is just cruising around and it is so cute. I can tell that running is not far in the future. He is just the cutest little man. He says quite a few words now which is fun. He makes us laugh constantly. What would we do without him?



Graduation 2009

Chill graduated on May 23 and we were all so proud of him. Our families were able to attend which was awesome. He got his diploma and was able to get his hood. The hoods for doctoral candidates are longest, at four feet. Doctor's gowns and hoods display the colors of the academic institution or the field of study. It has been an interesting four years and Chill has worked so hard. It is so exciting that he has reached the end of his schooling and I am excited for him to continue his training here in Utah. He'll be very busy this next year as he starts residency at the end of June, but I figure we've made it through the past 4 years so what is another 5 or 6 years. Thanks to all of those who have been so supportive of Chill and I and who are always there to offer love and encouragement. Good Job Dr. Wilcox, You did it!!!












Family

Spending time with family is always fun. Chill and I both have such wonderful families. We've been able to visit Chill's grandparents a few times and we've had a great time visiting with them. A few weeks ago when we were at their house, all Carson wanted to do was get a hold of grandpa's Pepsi. It was so funny to watch him. The minute grandpa set that Pepsi down on the table, you better believe Carson was right there trying to steal a drink. He then showed interest in grandma's water and proceeded to dump most of it all over the couch. He's a wild one. Carson tends to get a little messing when eating and playing. One night when we were at Chill's parents, his mom gave him a bath in the kitchen sink and he LOVED it!










Friends

Although we don't get to see our friends as much as we'd like. It is always fun to get together with them whether it be out for dinner, or the petting zoo at Gardner Village. We have such fun friends. My very best friend Sargie has been coming down to visit quite a bit this past month and Carson really just adores her. It has been so much fun being together and talking about old times up in Logan and Utah State. I was also able to get together with some other good friends from Logan a few weeks ago. We had so much fun laughing and sharing memories. It was so fun and so crazy to think that we are all married now. Who would have thought?

Hey Stef!

Your little boy is adorable! They grow so fast! We're here in wyoming until September so we should meet up for lunch or something one day. It's been almost 5 years! I can't believe it! Maybe we can have a Pineview reunion with Shell and Melanie also. I'm glad to see you guys are doing well. Hopefully we'll talk soon.
