Logan and Kim Wilde Family 2011
What an incredible journey 2011 has been. We have laughed and cried, worked and played. We have grown together and strengthened one another. There have been many joys, and a few sorrows. We are so very thankful for this Wilde Bunch, and we can’t wait to see what 2012 will bring.

Something New I discovered I liked: Facebook
(I know, but it really is a fun way to keep track of what’s going on
around you) Blogging (I never have been
much of a journal keeper, but I like writing about what our family is up to
every week, it’s fun!)
A New Food I tried: Peach Salsa, Karen and I bottled our own this year, and it is pretty tasty!!Favorite Book for 2011: too many to name them all, but I really enjoyed The Rocketboys by Homer Hickam Jr, and Cheaper by the Dozen by Frank & Ernestine Gilbreth
Favorite Movie: Ramona and Beezus, just a fun family movie, I laughed and cried, sometimes at the same time.
Church Callings: I was released as the 2nd counselor in the Primary Presidency and immediately put in as a Den Mother in Cub Scouts. (I guess they figured I knew how to handle squirrely little boys)
Places I’ve gone: Santa Cruz, CA and Choteau, MT (both of those are very LONG drives)Accomplishments: Spoke in our Stake Conference to an audience of 2,000. Wrote and directed my 2nd Primary Program. Learned to sew with a machine, and mastered rag quilts (but I still CAN’T read a pattern)
Goals for 2012: Find more patience for those I love the most (my family). Quit drinking Dr. Pepper. Find the good in those around me. Smile more than frown, laugh more than cry. Love every minute I have been given! Oh yeah, scripture study and prayer every morning and night.

Joseph Richard Wilde, Age 1
Something New I discovered I
liked: My toes, my fingers, my sisters
and brother. Being tickled, playing
peek-a-boo. Pretty much EVERYTHING has
been new to me this year.
A New Food I tried: I try to eat everything I can get my hands on…a few examples- mud off Dad’s boot (I HOPE it was mud); a dime I found on the floor; bobby pins and dryer sheets. Not all of these things taste good, but I have to make sure!
Favorite Book for 2011: God Gave Us You (that’s Mom’s favorite anyway, so she reads it to me A LOT)
Favorite TV Series: Curious George, I watch it with Camisen every morning!
Church Calling: My job is to be cute during church so everybody will smile at me and make me laugh!
Places I’ve gone: Basically anywhere and everywhere Mom goes, sometimes I wish she would stay home a little more! But I was a really good baby all the way to Santa Cruz and back, and then all the way to Choteau!!
Accomplishments: Rolling over. Sitting up. Army crawling. I don’t like to sit up very much, because I like to roll all over the house. I find it is a very efficient way to get around. Between that and my army crawl, I may NEVER need to learn to walk! I am also really good at waving BYE-BYE, playing PATTY CAKE, and being an INDIAN. I don’t know why, but doing that always makes Mom and Dad laugh, no matter how many times I do it! Guess they are just easily entertained!
Goals for 2012: Get some teeth. Learn to crawl, and then to walk. Be weaned (oh wait, that’s Mom’s goal) Continue to be HAPPY HEALTHY and STRONG!!
