My New Ride

For the past two weeks I was looking ot buy a van! We were just running out of room in our little 2002 Honda Civic. So I went and test drove 2, but it just didn't feel right. So Last week I went o a dealership up the road to see what they had in used vans! They didn't have anything in my price range. He asked me what I thought of SUV's. I like them but I just thought I should get a van. Well, as you see it is not a van! I just fell in love with it and it was in my price range. It is a 2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor. I have to brag and say that I am very proud of myself in getting this car. I did a lot of research and I stuck to my guns when it came to dealing with the saleperson. He had to go to his manager 3 times to get to where I needed in the payments. At first he was only going to give me $5500 for my trade in. At the end he gave me $8000 for my trade in and most of that they will give me a check to pay off ben's car. That was the only way we could get another car, is to pay off Ben's. I love my car. I have a lot more room and it has a CD player!!!! Yes my other car did not. Morgan always asks if we are going to go in the "BIG" car! Isn't it so pretty????

I NEED HELP!!!

I hate potty training!!! Morgan is doing really well with peeing in the potty. She wears big girl panies all the time. She just won't poop in the potty!! We have tried giving here candy as a reward, taking books, movies and toys away. We have tried making her sit on the potty for a long time. I just don't know what else to do!!! I am getting very frustrated! Any ideas???? PLEASE!!!

Morgan's Dinner Prayer

Tonight when dinner was ready I said that we needed to say prayer and Morgan said that she wanted to say it. This is her prayer:

"Dear Heavenly Father. How does it go? Thank you for this day. Please bless this food. Please bless Daddy that he is safe. Please bless Mommy that she got me a surprise at the store. Bless Bryce, he is rolling over! bless we will have good dreams. say these things, in the christ, Amen."


It took all I had from laughing. They are so cute and innocent. She is growing up so fast. I can't believe that she is going to be 3 at the end of the month. She is such a good kid and a great big sister.

The other day she said the cutest thing.

Morgan: "Where's Daddy?"
Me: "He is at work"
Morgan: "Why?"
Me: "He has to make money so that mommy can stay home with you and bryce."
Morgan: "He is making monies so you can stay home with me and bryce?"
Me: "Yes."
Morgan: "I LOVE YOU GUYS SOOO MUCH!" (and gives me the biggest hug!)

She cracks me up everyday!!

Young Love!!

This is Morgan and Joey! So cute walking hand in hand! They held hands and just talked to eachother. It was the cutest thing. My friend and I were laughing so hard, because it was so cute. They held hands until Joey ran Morgan into a suitcase, after that she didn't want to hold his hand. The little things that just melt your heart!

Morgan cracks me up everyday!

One day last week I told Morgan to go pick up her toys in her room before she got a snack. Well, she just had a fit. She threw herself on the floor and started crying. I just ignored her and kept doing what I was doing. As I walked by her, she said to me:

" This is so wrong!!"

I said "What is so wrong?"

She said "Me crying"


It took all I had not to laugh right then and there. She makes me laugh everyday and she is a GREAT big sister and helper to mommy and daddy!!

Together as a family again!!

At the beginning of March we found a house to rent in Arizona! At the beginning of April the kids and I left PA and went to be with Ben. It is very nice to be together as a family again. It was very bitter-sweet to leave PA. I enjoyed living with my mom and dad and being able to see by brothers and sister and inlaws all the time. I am glad that Morgan was able to spend a lot of time with her grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. I am also very glad that I was able to share my pregnancy and birth of Bryce with the family. I miss you all so much and can't say thank you enough to all of you for all your love and suppport during this past year. Please give all the kids hugs and kisses from all of us!! Below is a picture of our house. I will send more of the inside when I have it decorated.

Our cute little house!!

Bryce is getting so big, so fast!!

Bryce's Picture

If you go to www.mhyork.org and click on baby photo gallery in upper right hand corner. Then click put in the date Dec 6 2008. Then click on my name Anya W. It should bring his picture up!

Quick Update

So things have been busy, but that is no excuse for not posting pictures. Sorry!!! Ben came in on December 3 to stay for a month. It is really nice to be with him and feel like a family again. 4 months is a long time. I don't know how military wives do it. They are awesome!

On December 6, 2008 @ 3:42 pm our little son was born. Bryce Thomas Wilson. He was 8lbs 11ozs. 20 1/2 inches long. He is just beautiful. I saw the doctor on friday the 5th. I was 3cm and he stripped my membranes. 2 hours later I was having contractions about 4-6 minutes apart. I called him and he sent me into the hospital to be monitered due to the fact that I was going to try a V-BAC (vaginal birth after having a c-section). They wanted to keep an eye on me because of the risk of uterine rupture. So they admitted me to the hospital and my contractions went away over night. At about 2:30 in the morning I woke up not knowing if I should just go and do the c-section or go home and wait it out. I called ben the next morning and we decided to go ahead with the c-section. I felt that if this is not what is supposed to happen then the lord will make labot start. There were 2 other women before me getting c-sections and since I wasn't in major labor I had to wait until last. Which was fine. When my turn was up they took me to the operating room and got me all ready before ben came in. Not to much longer the doctor said it was a boy and then said "there is no way we could have done a V-BAC with him." It made feel feel so good that I made the right decision to do the c-section. Who knows what problems would have accured if I would have tried a V-BAC! So we have a healthy baby boy and a big sister who adores him.

I am getting around pretty well. I am not aloud to drive for two wks or pick up anything but Bryce. When I am feeling good I forget and do to much and then I am hurting the next day. It is so hard to take it easy when there is so much to do.

So, this is the update and hopefully I can find the time to put pictures up really soon. I will post the directions to see Bryces picture on the Memorial Hopsital website.

Where Have I Been?

Wow I can't believe it has been 5 months (i think) since I have blogged. Time really flies. So I thought I would give a run down of what has been happening these past couple months and will post pictures soon.

First off Ben and I are still living apart. It is getting harder and harder. We are still trying to figure something out until Republic calls him back. He cam back in June for father's day and to celebrate Morgans Birthday. It was a fun but quick trip. I went out to visit him in August for 10 days. It was nice. I was a little bored because he still was working and Morgan was here in PA. I didn't know what to do with myself!!!

In the meantime I was working for Martin Foor and Ankle. I was a Physical Theropy Tech. Lindsey got me the job. It was great. It was only supposed to be fpr 8 weeks and turned into 4-5 months. I am greatful for mine and Ben's family for watching Morgan while I worked. The job was getting harder as I was getting bigger with this baby. So it ended at the perfect time.

I was also helping plan Lindsey's wedding and doing all the Maid of Honor stuff. The wedding was beautiful. The bride was breathtaking. They are very Happy. We are getting ready for the open house this weekend! Busy Busy!! Ben's mom had to make my dress due to my huge belly!!! It was very pretty.

Morgan is growing up so fast. I can't believe she is 2 already! She is a smarty pants and keeps me on my toes all the time. She loves being here with here Aunts, Uncles, cousins and Grandparents. She has a little attitude with the looks to go with it. I hate to say it, but she gets it from me! Ben would agree!! I think she will be a great Big Sister.

For those that do not know we are having a BOY!! We are very excited. It will be a change. Is is a mover already!! I am actually on Medicine and Bed rest for awhile. Which is hard with a 2yr old. I was having pain on Monday Oct 13th. They felt like cramps with period. I didn't think much of it until it wouldn't go away all day. So I called the doctor and they told me to go to the hospital to get checked out. Well, i was having contractions every 2-3 minutes. They weren't to bad. They checked me to make sure I wasn't dialated, which I wasn't! Thankgoodness. Tehy gave me a shot of medicine to stop the contractions, it worked, but made your heart race and made me jittery. When that started to wear off they went to give me another one, but my heart rate was still to high. They decided to give me another medicine. That really didn't help. I started having more and stronger contractions. Needless to say I had to stay over night. Andy and my dad came and gave me a blessing. I love the power of the priesthood! Iwas sent home the next day at 9:30 in the morning with medicine and bed rest. So that has been hard. I am doing well. Nothing major since. I have to remind myself to take it easy and can't do certain things. I can't believe I only have 2months left and this little man will be here. Very exciting!

I apologize for it being so long since I have posted and will put pictures up soon!!

THE NEWS IS OUT, #2 IS ON ITS WAY!!!

Yes it true, I am pregnant!!! I am 8 wks along. I am due December 15, 2008. I am feeling fine, just the normal stuff. We are very excited. I will keep you posted!!

The Blessings among Trials

Sorry I haven't posted for awhile things have been crazy! Just wanted to update on things that have been going on. Three days into Ben's training he and 30 other people got laidoff. Due to the Frontier Airline going under they have to reorganize those pilot and they were closing the Denver base, and have to relocate all of those pilots. SO.......They gave Ben $1000 dollars and told them that they would be the first people they would call in July or August for rehire. So Ben jumped in his car and drove BACK to Arizona. He will be working there until we July or August. I am staying out here in Pa because we gave up our Apartment and have no place to go there. Ben is renting a room out of a house with some co-workers. I have a part time job here and being here with family helps at this time.

The many blessings: Ben's work took him back like he never left. we didn't have to wait to be put on insurance, and he was eligiable for the bonus in June. It is really nice to be with family and have them help out with Morgan when I work and during this pregnancy as well.

Despite the shock and frustration at first, Ben, Morgan, and I are doing fine. It is hard being away from him but we know this is all for a reason and feel good about everything working out the way it is intended.

We are moving from Arizona!!

This is the place Ben is going to be working for. They are based on the East Coast! Ben has to be to training in St. Louis, Missouri on April 21st. I will be in Pa while he is in training and until we find out where we will be based. We have requested Pittsburgh. We shall see. We are very excited and have been waiting fot this job for a while. W eare very blessed!!

This is the plane Ben will be flying. I am so proud of him! He is a great pilot.

It has been quit and adventure for us this past week. Ben's interview was scheduled for Tuesday March 18th in Indianapolis, Indiana. HE left Sunday night to stay in a hotel in Phoenix because part of the highway was closed and he wanted to make sure we would make his plane on Monday. He checked into his flight, which was standby, and did not get on that flight. They put him on another flight to Chicago and Indianapolis. That flight was delayed due to weather in Chiocago. When it finally left and he landed in Chicago he had missed his connecting flight. It was around 11 pm and he went o see when the next flight to Indiana left. The people who could help him were gone and they wouln't be back till 3:30am. So he had to sleep in the airport till then. When that time came, he went to the desk to check on the next flight. To his surprise they said that they didn't fly to Indiana. So they put him on a flight to Philidelphia and then to Indiana. He did not get to Indiana until 1pm. Tuesday. They rescheduled his interview for Wednesday. He got a hotel and was able to rest for the interview thw next day. After the interview he was waiting for his plane back to Phoenix. He did not make that flight because it was full also. Any flight that they had would have put him into pheonix to late to make our flight onThursday to Salt Lake City. So his mom had to redo his ticket to go from Indiana to Salt Lake City. So we finally saw eachother at 2am friday morning after he got into Salt Lake. We are glad we got the job, after going thru all this.

Morgan Singing!!

I have no idea what she is singing. I think it is her own song!!

Happy Anniversary!!

March 8th was our Anniversary. We have been married 6 years. I can't believe it. Time really flies. We have been through alot in these 6 years and have been so blessed. I love him more and more each day. I can't imagine my life without him. He is wonderful and loves morgan and I so much. He is working so hard to provide for us. I appriciate him so much. I Love You So Much Ben!!!!

Sorry if the picture is blurry. I had to take a picture of a picture because our printer/scanner is broken.

Play Date

I have a friend that I used to work with at the Retirement Home. She was watching her Granddaughter for the week, so she asked me to bring Morgan over for a Play Date. They are a little less then a moth apart! Her name is Gianna! They played so good together. It was nice to spend time with my friend who I hadn't seen in awhile. She was like a mom away from home. She is so funny!!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

So for Valentine's Day we went and Decorated Ben's Desk at Work. He was really surprised! I know it is really cheesy!!

Family Sunday Dance Party!!!

So a couple sunday's ago we came home from church and Morgan was pretty excited. She was doing circles in the living room. So Ben went and got some music and put it on our tv. Needless to say she loved it and we all dances for like 20 minutes. We did the Hampster Dance, The chicken Dance (Which she knows the motions to) and the song "Jump Around". I don't think our neighbors down stairs appriciated the last song. But, oh well. We had a good time.

Yes, that is ben actually dancing!
