Dear Family, Just returned from the hospital after leaving Dan from his having brain tumor surgery. It was an agressive cancer tumor which had grown for possibly the last three months to a size of 5 cm by 7cm. The doctor removed 80% of the mass and Dan will receive radiation in about two weeks. He and his family could use all the prayers you can muster up. Love Grampa and Gramma Wilson

Matthew Wilson growing up

I am loving reading about everyone. We will try to link all the blogs when we get a minute. Everytime I turn around Matt is taller. Chris tells me I need to get him dress pants that fit. The problem is that we buy him new pants and two weeks later they are high waters! So I thought I would send a picture of him in his new suit before he grows out of it. He was so cute. He walked around with my brief, saying "Don't I look like a CEO and Honey, I'm home". The girls and I had such a good chuckle. Recently, he told me after the earthquake in Wells, NV that the second coming was obvisoulsy near. He also said that one day after I picked him up from a friends house and they had a guitar hero game with barely clothed women. I also am including a photo of his team for knowledge bowl. It is like a spelling bee, but the questions are all "trivia" that they are supposed to be learning. It was very impressive to see all the different school's teams. He is in the gifted program for the district this year. It has been very hard and he tries so hard to impress his teacher. Even though he wants to we have not signed him up for next year. Hope you all are doing well. Love, Jessica

Hi guys, it is so awesome to see everyone's comments. All is well in Wisconsin. Well, it is very cold and lots of snow. 2/10s of a inch short of the snowiest winter in Wisconsin. I think that is all we do is shovel. That is what we call "Date Night"
Audrey is a junior and just started track. Chelsie is at byu idaho, Crystal and family is in Twin Falls and Joe is in Boise. I sure wish we could be there. Pat is busy with his job and scouts. I am still doing stake young women. I travel most Sundays to different wards. Sometimes it takes 31/2 hours to get to one ward.
We are anxious to hear from everyone. Thank-you for everything
Pat and Paula

My first Show

This is really cool! I'll enjoy reading about everyone. I am still in school going for my degree in photography. I should graduate (finally) next spring. In the mean time I will have some photos going up in a gallery here in Salt Lake on March 21st. The show will run through April 15th or so. If you are interested in going it is at the Art Space Gallery which is 250 South 500 West just behind the Rio Grande building. Anyway, I love you all! I'm lucky to have such a great family!

The Bradley Family!

Well how exciting! I hope to hear and see tons of pictures from everybody! Blogging seems to be getting so big it's just a nice way to catch up with everyone when we all seem to be living so far apart. Well we are doing pretty good up in Twin Falls Idaho. We really like it here and love the fact that Joe is close to us in Boise and Chelsie in Rexburg. Now we all just need to get my parents out west! Jonas is growing like crazy he will be 3 on the 22nd and he reminds me every day that he is such a big boy. His burns are doing great he has an appointment in Sacramento in April to determine when he will need his next surgery which should happen later this year. We are getting a temple here in Twin Falls the open house is coming up soon so anyone wanting to go feel free to come stay with us. Just wanted to tell Grandma and Grandpa that we love and miss then so much! I hope things are going great for you guys!

Here is a picture of Grandma and Grandpa at the falls here in November! We were so excited to have them here for a day!

The Pedersens Update

Hi guys. What a great idea! It'll be nice to hear how extended family members are doing. The Pedersen family is well. We put our house in Omaha up for sale last week. Tyler is almost done with residency. He'll finish in June. He'll start working in Laramie in July. Sydney, 5 3/4 years old, is enjoying kindergarten. She loves to read, color, and play videogames. Charlotte has entered the Truly Terrible Threes. With that said, she can also turn it on when she wants to. She loves to learn and has become VERY talkative. Her new belief is that anytime someone kisses, then they are married. So, when she gives me a kiss, she'll say "now we are married." So far our attempts to correct her have not worked. :) Isaac is 9 months old. He has 5 teeth and bald. He is clapping, crawling, pulling up things, cruising, and getting into EVERYTHING. He sucks his thumb and eats any string, hair, paper, or sock he can find. He loves trying new foods. He is such a happy baby. I am enjoying motherhood. My kids keep me on my toes. I also spend a lot of my time running HOAA's playgroup (HOAA is a resident spouse association), taking care of our primary (I'm the secretary), and reading.
Love, Angie

The Palmieri's

So the site won't let me upload any pictures. Next time. Just wanted to say hi to the whole family. Here's an update on our family. We moved back from Italy in November and we're living in Salt Lake. It's been quite a change and adjustment for us. But that's how it always is with drastic change. Aaron is 9 months old now and crawling... meaning I'm in trouble, or more correctly he's into trouble a lot. It doesn't help that he's a Wilson. The genes make for trouble makers.

Just wanted to say hi to gramma and grandpa and tell you that we love you!
Julie, Paolo, and Aaron

Hi Everybody, We are open for business on this family blog. Hope to see notes and pics as you feel moved to share with every one. Isn't this cool. Thanks to our genius Heather for putting this up for us.
Love Grampa and Gramma Wilson
