Blogger In Training

ByKaren

  Allison wants to be just like mommy – she wants to drink coffee and water because I do and she wants to be a blogger some day, because I am.  We’ve been tossing around a few ideas for her ‘blogging’ name and I believe we’ve settled on Little Koupon Karen. I think that will fit her perfectly as she is a little me!  

Making Pizza With Nonnie

ByKaren

My mother is a great cook.  And I’m not just saying this because she reads my blog.  She really is a great cook!  The girls think so too though most times if you ask Allison who is the best cook she will say “Mommy!” and then “Nonnie!”.   I know I’m not a better cook than my mother, but I’m happy to hear I’m Allison’s favorite cook! One thing she makes that is really yummy is her pizza!  And she makes it every Friday.  It’s funny because my aunt, her sister, used to make pizza all the time and it was awesome.   My mother never made it but probably because her sister did.  When my aunt died, I thought I’d never have her pizza again.  But…

The Easter Bunny Came!

ByKaren

We spend Easter at my inlaws but the Easter Bunny always finds us there.  One year he left us seeds to grow lolipops and he knew we’d be there so he left them there. Once again he left them some fun baskets only this year they weren’t as big as normal because the Easter Bunny hurt it’s foot and couldn’t hop along as well to gather more stuff for the baskets.  But he did leave chocolate balls all over the fireplace and the girls LOVED That.  We thought maybe they were Easter Bunny droppings but thankfully they turned out to be delicious chocolate eggs.  WHEW! I didn’t get a picture of the girls dressed up but did manange to snap a few pictures of them…

Big Summer Adventure – Getting Their Ears Pierced

ByKaren

Holly has been hesitant for a while about getting her ears pierced.  But when she noticed her friend Katie had her ears pierced and had mickey mouse earrings, she decided she definitely wanted her’s done.  We had to wait until the summertime because her dance recital was at the end of the school year and she can’t wear earrings during the recital.  She was OK with this because that gave her time to digest the fact that she was going to do it. I am traveling for a bit this summer so in between my trips, Steve thought it would be a good idea to take Holly to have her ears pierced because she had mentioned a few times she really was ready to do…

Allison The Snow Princess

ByKaren

Allison still loves Dora.  She doesn’t watch the show too much, but she loves Dora’s books.  She has a pile of them sitting in her bed that she reads to Eeka at night.  She knows most of the stories herself now after hearing them so much.  I love listening to her ‘read’ the stories because she is right on with so many of the details. Today we were in Job Lot and we went by the kids book aisle.  I noticed some Dora books and went through them all to see what she had and didn’t have.  We ended up getting 6 more but they were only $1.00 each so why not! Needless to say, she’s excited to read to Eeka tonight. So what does…

And Baby makes FOUR!!!!!

ByKaren

We will be a complete family of FOUR in April!!! The newest edition to the Wilmes Family will arrive the end of April and we couldn’t be happier. Today was our first doctor’s appointment and we had an ultrasound and was able to see little Baby W for the first time. It’s little arms and legs were moving around like crazy. A very active baby, guess this one will be just like Holly!! It was so great to see the baby and now it feels so much more real, even though my belly has already begun to grow, this just reassures me that everything is going well.

  1. This is the new family. Holly is taking a break from climbing up and down mommy’s hospital bed. The little cap that Allison is wearing has been worn by all 4 of my grandchildren. Jonathan 8 1/2, Kristopher 5, Holly 2 1/2 and Allison at 2 days old. We will now put it to rest until they all have children of their own. My precious FOUR. A very grateful grandmother!
