The Wilhelmsen Botanical Blog

Well, this week is very (and I mean VERY) low on photos.  All I have are a few of my ever growing belly.  Here is what we have been up to this week…

Monday I went to the dentist to get a cavity filled and then over to my grandma’s for scrapbooking.  It was fun to have some time to myself but my mouth was numb for like 6 hours and I bit the inside of my cheek multiple times.  I was able to get some cute cards made and they are up on my online boutique which can be found here.  The food was tasty and the company was wonderful as is the norm with my extended family.

We spent two hours on Sunday and Monday evenings watching the newest season of 24.  They never waste any time jumping right into things and being intense.  I am eagerly looking forward to Lost as well!

This week I made the curtains for our bedroom and we got them hung up.  We are getting ever closer to being organized and having everything in its place.  I did finally unpack in the kitchen but it is still a little cluttered due to some things not have a place to live yet.  Our room still needs some work and there is just a couple of boxes and some clutter in the living room (we have to make a D.I. run to drop things off) and we have some large boxes that need to go to a dump or something.  The end is in sight though!  Hallelujah!  We have also been to the library a few times and Aiden and I have been spending 30-60 mins. nearly each day outside in the backyard!  It is SO nice to have a safe outdoor space for Aiden to run around in.

Thursday evening the boys went to get their hair cut.  I will have to get some pics. and post them later.  I ended up holding Aiden on my lap while they cut his hair.  We both had on barbering capes but I still ended up COVERED in his little tiny hairs.  He did really well, a bit wiggly but he didn’t fuss or get upset.  He always looks more grown up after a haircut.

Saturday morning we went to the aquarium, I just let Aiden lead the way and he went quickly through.  After we had “seen” everything he sat and “drove” the boat a couple of times.  The program wasn’t working but Aiden didn’t care, he just wanted to steer the wheel around.  He enjoyed “driving” the boat so much that he talked about it the whole way home.

In the afternoon Brandon and I went to see Twilight at Desert Star.  It was funny.  They took the song “The telephone hour” from Bye Bye Birdie and changed the words to fit the show.  IT WAS GREAT!  They pulled it off wonderfully.  Later on in the show they used, “I am I Don Quixote, the man of La Mancha.” and change those lyrics for the show as well.  I loved it!  It never ceases to amaze me how they can think of the perfect show tune and then change the words around to fit the show they have written.  It takes a creative genius!  🙂  Thanks mom for baby sitting!

In Aiden news, this week he has said two prayers with our help.  It is super cute!  He does really well repeating what we say.  Today at church he was funny too.  As a woman was finishing up her talk Aiden said, “Christ, Amen. Now sing.”  LOL  He has a pretty good idea of how sacrament meeting goes.  Going to nursery first still has him thrown off a little bit but he will catch on eventually.

As for our opposition we are still waiting to hear from Vangent, Brandon has consistently been working sub jobs which will thankfully cover the basics.  Nevertheless, I am trying really hard not to panic but in the next few months we have to start paying towards a second student loan, register our car, provide for a 2nd baby (incl. circumcision) and continue to pay our current bills.  For whatever reason, everything always comes down to stupid money and there never seems to be enough of it.  GRR.  We have come across a couple of new job ideas but nothing big or that have led to anything worth mentioning.  Please continue to keep us in your prayers.  Thanks for reading…
