2011-10-22T11:00:00.001-07:00

I am so Horrible at blogging. So Many of you have asked for pics of the baby and the boys so here you go. I am going to do a big catch up with everything that has been going on... but until then here is Dreyson Leon Williams... He is such a blast and everyone is doing great!!

Jaxon's Baptism!!

2011-05-03T12:16:00.000-07:00

I can't believe he is 8 (I am getting so old)!! Where does the time go? Thank you to my amazing sis in law Tiniel who designed his invitation... Thanks too pieces sista. It is going to be this Friday at 6pm. More pictures to come from his birthday party and of course the big day. Love you all and I love this 8 year old so much.

Boys Will Be Boys!!

2011-03-14T12:55:00.000-07:00

Remember the good old days of fort building? You know the times of getting every blanket, pillow, any barricade you could possibly find? I am sure you do :) The boys are in that mode. This is under the Foosball table in our playroom. They worked so hard and made such a disaster but I did not care, so when they asked if they could sleep in there I couldn't say no. It was priceless. Kyle and I just watched them sleep and talk about where has the time gone?? They are so grown up and beyond FUN!

This is with the blanket pulled up to see them under the table.

You can see the flashlight they were using for light. It was so dark when we went up there. Once we pulled back the blanket we could see they had created their own lighting system.

Tavin's Birthday

2011-03-14T12:40:00.000-07:00

Tavin is 4!!! Can you believe it? I can't. It was too fun! We gave him a tee shirt that said "I Am The Best Big Brother." We had Jaxon read it and waited for him to catch on to the news we were trying to tell him. Jaxon said "But I am the Big Brother." Shelby says, "So if Tav is going to be the big brother then what does that mean?" Jax replies with question in his eyes, "That I am going to be the little brother?" Needless to say we ended up pointing to my tummy and explaining we were going to have a baby and it was another boy. Tav was thrilled, Jax was a little teary as he really wanted a sister, but we are so excited. Baby no. 3 will be here in August. 18 weeks and still sick in the mornings but I seem to be getting better each day.

Tavins birthday was great. He wanted all soccer and thanks to Natalie's amazing cake skills the cake was a hit and my mom had found killer deal on plates and cups!! We had a few friends and family over. He got spoiled rotten as usual. He was so excited about his Spiderman slippers. It was hilarious. He loves sports so much right now and anything his big brother is doing. He makes us laugh all the time because he is so matter of fact about everything. He loves to play outside, and I couldn't love his long eye lashes, sweet kisses, his snuggles in the morning and when he asks kyle or I to "Hold You" melts my heart every time! I feel so blessed to be his mom and to have him in our family.

Jazz Basketball

2011-03-14T12:30:00.000-07:00

Jaxon just got done with his Jr. Jazz basketball league. He did awesome!! He is such a good little player and it is so fun to see him learning and getting to be such a great basketball player. Kyle was one of the coaches too which is so fun. These pictures were taken by Tavin by the way :)

Missing TOOTH!!

2011-01-19T09:14:00.000-08:00

Look at this cute boy!! That is right he lost his other top tooth and wow was he so excited about it. I had been calling him snaggle tooth because the tooth was just hanging there so he took it upon himself (because I CANNOT) and pulled it out. He was so happy about it too. Another sign he is just growing up way too fast!! LOVE IT.

Christmas!

2011-01-19T09:11:00.000-08:00

We were lame in the Christmas photo area. We did get a shot of the matching PJ's. I can't believe another Christmas has come and gone. Look sisters... Still going strong with the blogging!!

New Years Resolution

2011-01-04T08:29:00.000-08:00

WHEW!! So Tavin will be 4 next month and that is around when I last posted anything. I made a New Years Resolution with my sisters/sis in laws that live far away that I would make a valiant effort to post more so they can feel more apart of what is going on. I will do my best. For now here is a little rewind on what has been going on in our lives. It goes from the most present (minus Christmas... those will be coming) to this last summer. Love you all and hope you had a wonderful Holiday and a New year...

Here we go, latest Family Pics.
First Big Idaho Snow storm. The boys had the neighbor kiddos and dads all over to help construct these beauties. They had such a blast and topped it off with some hot chocolate.

I took a flag football team to Tempe Arizona to compete in the Regional Tournament. They did awesome!! To top off the trip I got to spend some time with Kirby and Scott which I love.

She looks so cute. She is due the beginning of Feb. and look so cute. Can't wait to meet this new little guy!!

I wish she lived closer!! We had such a great time! All I wanted to do was sit in the sun. I came from winter wonderland to mid 70's. She was freezing and I was on the porch soaking it all in.

I ran in my first BUT NOT LAST 1/2 Marathon in Boise. What an amazing experience. It was so hard. We had no idea of the hills that were involved. We were standing in line to go to the bathroom before we went and we got chatting with a few guys who were seasoned runners... They asked us how many races we had done and we were like... Um this is our first one... They then went on to ask WHY WE HAD PICKED THIS ONE!!! We were dying. They continues to talk about Big Bertha one of the hills and "Good Luck." There was no going back but we were a little nervous! Either way... I did it!!! not to mention with the greatest friend who we have been through so much together. I wouldn't have picked another person to do it with. Thanks Alish. for another memory in our forever book!!

This was right after we were done.

These were taken right before!!!

Halloween. Tav is Spiderman and Jax is the Hulk. Jaxon wanted to be a baseball player forever and then my Dad asked him one day what he wanted to be and he didn't skip a beat and said "The Hulk" thank goodness for Target and a mom who will get whatever these little guys want to be even if it is to make a pickle costume. They were darling and had a great time.

Tavin's New Little Pre-School Group! They are so much fun and he thinks he is so big to have his own School!!

Another Soccer Season. They both are such great little athletes and love it so much. Yes I am still coaching and loving every minute of it. (Most of the time.)

1st Day of School. Sorry a little out of order but this is my 1st grader! He loves school so much and is so smart.

Blackfoot Fair with Little Miss Tegan. This is my niece who had cancer last year. She is doing so great and it has been so much fun to see her be a little girl again. We took the little munchkins to the Fair and they had a blast.

Williams Family Reunion in Snake River! We ate, played games, horseback riding, slept in tents, laughed, night games, ate some more. Thanks D and T and crew for putting it together. It was perfect.

Bracken... Kyle's youngest brother came home from his mission!! We missed him so much and it has been such a blast having him home. He is attending Idaho State right now too which we love having him close. He is such a great example and the boys idolize him.

Random pic of the boys making cookies. They are such great helpers.

MARYLAND FOR WHITNEYS WEDDING. The boys so tired from all the festivities. We did so much while we were there in August. From Baseball games, shopping, DC sites, Charlotte for the wedding, Manis and Pedis with the girls, late night, fun food, Amusement Parks, amazing Company, and lots of memories... It was AMAZING.

Tav all dressed up for a play they put on. It was hilarious.

Baseball batting cages. Kyle and Tyson took the kids to play miniature golf, batting cages and just fun boy time. They loved it.

Chucky Cheese. The kids LOVE IT!

Nationals Baseball game.

Whitney and Trey's wedding in August. It was in Charlotte and we had a blast there and the wedding was beautiful!

The beautiful Bride!

Tav getting his dance on with his cousin. They were so adorable ALL NIGHT!!

The family of the bride. It was so fun to be all together.

Happy 3 years Tav!!

2010-03-18T10:20:00.001-07:00

Where does the time go? I know I am the worst blogger and Kirb. I am so sorry because I know you love to see pics. of the kiddos so I will try and do better. This is Tavin's 3 year old birthday party. He was so sweet and so excited. Can you believe I have a 3 year old. Jax is going to be 7 this year. Time goes way too fast!! For Tav's birthday, we had a few friends and family come. Thanks to all the adults who helped and Jax. and Brev. for being the Officials. Things I love about Tav., he has so much energy and loves any and everything his big brother is doing. His Birthday theme was sports, because that is what he loves. He got a DS from my side of the family so he is loving once again keeping up with Jax. He can play video games better than I can. (I know that is not saying much) I love his long eye lashes and how he still wants to be held and snuggled. I mostly love being his mom and being blessed enough to be apart of all his sweetness.

My neice Evie playing a little Baggo in our sport rotation. She loved this one!!

Skye and Wyatt playing on our minature golf course. (Brevin and Jax were there as officials. They were such great helpers)

Tavin and Kes. so happy together :)

The party animals waiting for "Hot Football" to get started.

The Great Presents of course. the fun part.

Christmas is in the AIR!!

2009-12-22T10:04:00.001-08:00

Here are my sweet boys on Sunday before Christmas. We are in our new Ward and love it. These outfits are from Gramme and Best Buddy Forever. They are for our whole family picture, but we thought we would get a jump start. Wow they are a piece of work that is for sure when it come to taking pics.

This is Tavin opening presents at the Williams Family Christmas Party. We had a great time. It was the first big party in our new house and I think overall I wasn't following people around and everyone did a great job keeping things nice. We had a wonderful time and are so grateful for such wonderful family.

This is our Nativity. A family tradition. It was hilarious as always. Notice the little green elf... Wyatt added his own little flavor which we loved. I loved even more my husband who was the narrator trying to work the Little Elf into the story. We had a great laugh and kids love to get dressed up and play with their cousins.

The Narrator. He did great!

Lots of fun people with plenty of room for everyone. Have I mentioned how much I LOVE my house?? It had been great. That is Grandpa and Grandma Williams (Kyle's Dad's Parents). We loved having them come. They are always such great support for all the family festivities.

More people and more fun!! Lots of yummy food and treats.

Our actors and actresses getting ready for the big show.

Have a wonderful Holiday Season!!

MOVING!!

2009-12-18T12:37:00.000-08:00

So we are officially moved into our new house. It has been such an adventure and I am so grateful to be there. We have had a blast through the whole process. Our contractor has been amazing, subs have done great, and we are so happy. I will post pictures soon once we have settled in. Here are few things we have been up... These are the cuties at swim lessons. Jaxon loves them but Tav... Not so much. He loves the water but listening to the teachers is another story. Now with the snow I think they like the sauna better than lessons.These are our good friends Cooper and Maddy. They did great too.

My brother Tyson and sister Ally just had a little baby boy named Hudson and these were the favors my mom put together for their shower. These are the colors of the nursery. So dang cute and my heck Hudson is so darling with blond hair and so tiny. He was a little over 6 pounds when he was born. Tyson always said some day the boys would out number the girls (He was the only brother with sisters), and he was right.

A little Catch up~!

2009-12-18T12:30:00.000-08:00

This is Jaxon after his Harvest Feast at school. Loved it so much.
Photo time with Kenns. These are outfits they were going to wear for Whitney and Treys wedding (It was postponed). Whitney came to town when Tegan had surgery and had a tea party with the kiddos. It was hilarious. You never know what you are going to get. They are so cute.

Grammies mystery dinner. So fun. She blind folded the kiddos and had them taste and guess what they were eating. Jaxon LOVED LOVED it, Kennedy and Tavin just wanted to eat everything. Grammie so so creative and does so many fun things with the kiddos.

More Tav. and Jaxon. Wow, they are a trip!

So dang cute.

Family Pictures

2009-10-11T15:58:00.000-07:00

A big shout out and thanks to our good friend Adrianne. We went and had a great photo session with her. She did an amazing job. From dealing with 2 little rascals and a Kyle who deems himself not photogenic, there wasn't a picture I didn't love. Here are a few. You can also go to capturedbyadrianne@blogspot.com to check out all of her photos. She is very talented.

I love this little face too pieces.

Can you say future senior pictures. What a doll baby this boy is. He has the softest sweetest little heart and is loving growing up way too fast.

Oh how I love all 3 of my boys. They melt my heart. Even when they are being rascals, I couldn't imagine my life without them. Love to you!!

House UPDATE!!

2009-10-11T15:03:00.000-07:00

Some of you... Mostly Kirby! Have wanted an update on the house so here are a few pics. Here are the boys. They to go over to the house. It is like a little play land outside.

Tavin playing his "Trumpet."

Basement

Great Room.

Master Bath.

Sitting nook in the great room. That is going to be the fireplace.

Great room. That closet is the corner pantry where the kitchen in going to be. The door goes out to a covered patio to the backyard.

Formal Living room.

Front Door.

The single garage door. It will be a 3car but the workers were on the other side.

Side view of the house. You can see they have started the siding.

Another side of the garage, they are working on the front with the stucco.

This is the front. You see the guy in the front is one of the stucco guys. They are working fast.

SO what is next. Well the painters start on Monday. It should take about a week. Then we will be putting in the hardwood floors and we are hoping that won't take too long with all the helper we have out there. It is moving right along. We are still looking at December to be moving in which we couldn't be more excited about it. It will be a blast that is for sure. Everyone kept telling me about all these awful stories of building and so far we have been nothing but happy with everything. Kenny and his assistant, Chelsie (Also his wife), our contractors have been nothing but amazing. Can't wait to have some of you over!

Date FUN!

2009-09-21T09:05:00.000-07:00

OK, Can you just say future Wedding Video... Tavin and his best little friend Maddy had a little "playdate." Jaxon went to his friends house for a little while so we picked up Mads. and had a blast. We went to McKees to see the animals, then to get ice cream, and then to the park. It was so fun and they were priceless together. I was laughing so hard when they were holding hands, and helping each other on the slide, and just sticking right together the whole time. My camera ran our of batteries at McKees so I didn't get to document the rest of the festivities, but it was darling and we feel so blessed to have such wonderful friends in our lives.

Temple!

2009-09-18T08:56:00.000-07:00

HELLO HELLO!!! A real quick little bit of info. A lot of you have asked what can we do, how can we help?? Here is an idea...Any of you who have the time before Tuesday Sept. 22nd to make it to the temple there is a huge effort around the world on my sweet Niece Tegan Salce's behalf. We are trying to get in as many sessions and get her name on as many prayer rolls before her surgery which is set for Sept.22nd in Salt Lake City at the Children's Hospital. Thank you so much to everyone. Lots of Love.

Water Babies!

2009-09-08T18:31:00.000-07:00

One last water fun day. Here are the boys running through the fountains. Jax just jumped right in, while Tav was a little hesitant and then just followed big brothers lead. They had a great time and we loved having a little one on one time with Grammie. Thanks mom for a fun day. LOVE YOU.

Tavin is in the red shorts.

TEGAN VISIT!!

2009-09-08T18:19:00.000-07:00

Most of you have been following my nieces story and her battle with cancer. We stopped in to see her on our way home from Utah. She was just finishing up her 4 day chemo and was so thrilled to see these boys. She kept rubbing Jaxon's leg and was so excited to have them snuggle up to her. They gave kisses, hugs, and even a few tug of war moments just like when she was home.

She humbles me each and every day. As I watch her and her sweet family go through this trial I feel as though I am learning more about life and how precious it is and to hold tight to every moment with each other. I cherish the moments I get to hold her, paint her nails, put in hair things, and listen to her laugh and cheer when she see us. As she gets ready for this life altering surgery I can only hope and pray when it is all said and done, I will get a lifetime to hold her. I love all my girls up in Utah and wish I could spend more time with them. What great examples they are to all of us. Love you too pieces.

Grammie and Teg. snuggled up. This is how they sleep while in the hospital. My mom loves every second of it and Teg loves to give her tons of kisses good night.

Lots and lots of kisses!

Watching Shrek!

Denver!

2009-09-08T18:11:00.001-07:00

I got the opportunity to head to Denver for a quick trip for a good friends wedding. I stayed with my greatest friend Ally and her sweet family. This is her 9 month old Caleb who was such a trooper with his mommy and I's talks, cooking, walks, and just catching up and sharing mommy stories. It is so crazy to see the chapters in our lives unfold.

Jamie and Kendall. They were so happy and her mom made that beautiful dress. It was so fun to catch up with old but great friends. For some of us it had been over 12 years since we had seen each other.

Debbie and Matt.

Matt and Shelby

A BIG BIG BIG shout out to my great Sister and Brother in law who watched the boys while I was gone. Jaxon wanted to stay and live with Ryker for a year. He told me I could come and visit him. I could hardly get a hug from either of them they had such a blast, swimming, picnicking, going to the park, Cabelas, and the list goes on. Thanks again Meg, love you guys.

ALL BOY!!

2009-09-08T18:06:00.000-07:00

There are moments in a marriage when you realize how lucky you are to have each other. This was one of those moments for me with Kyle. He has talked about wanting to take the boys golfing, real golfing not mi nature golfing, for a while. Well Wed. came and he took them to the Shelley course. THEY HAD A BALL!! I think Kyle was so tired after carrying 3 sets of clubs and a 40 pound Tavin through it all, but he made a forever memory with those boys.

1st Day of school!!

2009-09-08T17:38:00.000-07:00

Ok so it is true Jaxon is officially in school and looking at that face you can tell he is beyond excited. Mom on the other hand was an emotional basket case. Overall I have recovered but I can't believe he is old enough to be going to school. Kyle wonders what I will do when they go on missions. Lets not even go there right now. He is so sweet and already loves his teacher and has made lots of friends.

This is Tavin wondering when he gets to go to school. He has had an adjustment not having big brother around in the morning but is doing great also.

Island Park Fun!!

2009-09-08T17:31:00.000-07:00

We went up to Island Park with the Hawkins crew and had a blast. The weather was so cold but people still got in the water... Jaxon, Isaiah, and that is right my pregnant sister-in-law, who rocked it! It was so much fun.

Here is our little Kenns. So happy to be the flag girl. She clapped so hard for her mommy while Tyson was a nervous hubby.
So so TIRED. He is like his mom who can sleep anywhere. Look at those eye lashes, he will never fully appreciate them.

My determined knee boarder. He was so freezing but kept going until he got up and went for a long ride. Everyone was very impressed him. He was so cute.

The boys up nice and early before anyone else so we went to the fresh water spring to fill up. It was such a nice morning and they loved being the ones to get the water.

More brother fun.

A little shout out to my parents and Uncle Bill and Aunt Peg for getting this amazing getaway. We love it so much up there and are so glad to have a wonderful place to make eternal memories. Love you.

Temple Church Day!

2009-08-13T18:44:00.000-07:00

The boys at the temple.

This is the day we went to the Deaf Branch. What an incredible experience that was for our family. To walk by the primary room and see Jax signing with these kids who can't hear, it was humbling. After church we had a yummy picnic at the Portland Temple. We weren't able to do a session because it was closed for cleaning but it was beautiful.

Eternal Companions!

My Sweet Angels. Oh how I love them too pieces!

At the oldest church. This is where the deaf branch meets. This is the Owens crew. We got so close with each of them. What amazing people.

At them temple we ate our picnic on a hill. Well there was an acorn tree at the top and Uncle Farris, Jax, and Tav had a contest to see who could get their acorn to go the farthest. It was a close contest but I think Jax won at the end.

Zoo and Museum

2009-08-13T17:57:00.000-07:00

This is one of the best parts of this amazing trip. We were able to go to the Zoo and Children's Museum. Wow is all I can say. First a shout out to Alyssa for the hook up getting us in for free and for Drew for hanging in with us All day! We had a blast.

This is Jaxon in the children's museum on stage doing a concert. There were so many rooms and areas for kids. It was so cute. They had costumes, music instruments, a real curtain to pull open and shut, sound system for kids to play like they were singing. It was great.
Here are the boys playing in the motor room. Tav is playing with the HUGE train set. You can't tell from the picture how huge the train set is, and there is Jax in the background driving the bus.

There is a place where the kids can paint their own faces. Notice how great Tavin did? They also had a grocery store where kids could shop or be the cashier. It was so cute. I love to play store... Too bad I won't fit.

What a natural!!

This is a small section of the water room. They had a blast. They could have stayed the whole day. They each had a meltdown after every time we made them move on. 4 Hours later we finally left, but it was incredible.

More Water.

Kyle and Tavin playing in the gadget room.

This is at the zoo which was so fun. They boys loved the petting zoo. They got to comb these goats. I had childhood experiences with a goat eating my favorite necklace and then below you will see the elephants and one time growing up in high school an elephant sneezed all over me. It brought back memories that is for sure!!

So sweet. The love animals so this was a highlight day for the boys.!

Bakery and Water Fountain!

2009-08-13T17:45:00.001-07:00

At this famous bakery where you can watch people making these amazing treats!
These are my boys playing in these cool water falls and fountains.

This is a famous bakery that has amazing sweet treats. You can watch them make all these delights. We loved it!

Aren't they sweet~!

I love this picture but I can't get it to rotate. Drew had gotten this headband and Tav wanted to wear it. It was so cute.

AHHH!!

More Vacation Fun!

2009-08-10T15:24:00.000-07:00

We will start with this one because look how sweet and innocent he looks! Wow he has everyone fooled. This is at the Rose Gardens.

So Friday the girls went shopping at this outdoor mall that was really fun, and the boys went to movie. They went to Ice Age 3 and I think Uncle Farris and Kyle liked it just as much if not more than the boys. Then we went to another mall that had the Cheesecake Factory. We shopped a little while we waited for a table. This is the boys in the sports store running the track.

Tavin having fun with stickers

Aunt Liz and Jaxon at the outside mall.

Uncle Farris and Aunt Liz looking great. We had such a blast with them.Kyle and I at the Rose Gardens.

Could I be any happier to be there~~

Brothers will be brothers! More Friday at these amazing Rose Gardens. It was beautiful.

Family in the fountains. The boys were putting their heads in and ready for little swim.

Jaxon took this picture of Arianne. She was so good with the boys. The whole family was incredible with the little rascals. We love them all so much.

2009-08-10T06:45:00.000-07:00

Jaxon and Mommy. We are having too much fun!
Kyle and Tav.

Kyle crashing Wake boarding. He got so good, he was going across the wakes and back. It was HOT HOT!!

Look how good he looks. So comfortable up there. It was awesome.

This is Kyle and I watching our little boy Jaxon knee boarding. I was so scared at first but Uncle Farris and Aunt Liz talked about Drew and how he was 6 when he started. Jax was hooked. Our cousin Amy was so patient with him in the water teaching him how to do it. Once he got it he was on fire and didn't want to stop. It was so fun.

Great Pic. of the Knee Boarder!! Oh so Happy!

This is Shelby Wake Boarding, That is right Kyle and I are wake boarders. After a long time trying to get up we got it and LOVED it. The Owens Family was so patient with us. We loved it.

My best little guys on the tube. Tavin talked the whole time. It was so sweet. He thought he was so big. Jax just didn't want to fall off. Arianne and I had gone before and had fallen a few times so Jaxon didn't want to go with me at first. Overall it worked out great and they had a blast.

Tavin so tired from all the fun. It was so beautiful there. The water and scenery around us was surreal.

Jaxon and his new best friend Drew. Jax loved Drew so much and Drew was so good with him too.

Tavin and Aunt Liz. They are so sweet

Multomah Falls

2009-08-10T06:38:00.000-07:00

At the end of our trip when we were heading home to Idaho, we stopped at these amazing Multomah Falls that were right off the freeway. It was breath taking. The boys wanted to go swimming in them.

My CUTE CUTE Boys. They were so sad to be leaving.

You could climb about a mile up to stand on that bridge. WOW is all I can say.

Swim Fun!

2009-08-10T06:27:00.000-07:00

This is Hillary Merkley aka Aunt Hillary to the boys. She is such a good friend and we met up with her to have some fun pool time. Jaxon picked her every time to go down a slide, go eat Watermelon, you name it she was his favorite person. Thanks Hil, for a great time. You might wonder why we don't have any pictures of Tav. well 1st he was never above water for long enough to get a good shot but he was too busy going down the big slides. He wants to be as big as his brother and would have gone down any and all slides if he was tall enough. There were these black hole slides that Hillary and I were scared to go down and he loved them. When we would get to the bottom he would say "More." It was hilarious.
Jax. going down one of the many steep slides and never even being afraid. He had a blast.

Jaxon my super star swimmer. He loves to swim and does so good.

Hillary and I so happy to be together.

Flag Football Season!!

2009-08-09T17:35:00.000-07:00

Wow, another season down and it was such a blast! Kyle was one of the coaches and even with a few choice boys had a great time being apart of it. Jaxon's good friend Brevin played with him and his dad Bryson was the head coach. Kyle took defense. Adrianne (Bryson's wife) and I were laughing so hard at the beginning watching our little boys score touchdowns, get interceptions and were flag grabbing crazy boys. It was a great experience and we can't wait for next season.

Here is Jax and his number one supporter. Tav wanted to play all the time. If there were any available flags and jerseys you could count on Tav having one on. It was adorable. He loves his big brother so much and wants to do EVERYTHING he is doing!
The SHARKS (That is right, they chose their team name. I think Kyle and Bryson were a little shocked thinking they would have picked an NFL team or college, but nope Sharks we were.)

This is Jaxon and Brevin the MVP's of the team. They did so good. We were very proud of them and all their hard work. We were so sad to see it end.

House UPDATE!!

2009-07-11T12:42:00.000-07:00

They have started framing!! Here is the latest update on the house. They are going crazy over there. It is so fun to look one day and then the next it looks different. We are excited and so far are loving the process. This is the basement.

More basement.

Birthday 4th of July!

2009-07-11T12:35:00.001-07:00

We had a fun 4th of July. We went to Firth on Friday for a golf Tournament (Kyle, his brothers, and his Dad got 2nd in a shoot out. They did great.) We were also there for a Hawaiian themed Birthday party for Skye. It was a blast. There was a lot of water, yummy treats, and great company. Thanks Lins. and Josh for such a fun party. I always love a good theme!! We watched the fireworks up at Natalie and Bills and the boys loved every second of it. Overall a great weekend.

Baseball Super Star!!

2009-07-11T12:30:00.001-07:00

Jaxon just finished his baseball season and had such a blast. He is getting better and better each and every season and LOVES it. He was so sad to see it end. Here is Jax with his great little buddy Breven and Kale. They were quite the little group~~!

Summer Fun!

2009-06-30T06:52:00.001-07:00

So we have been so busy so far this summer. We have moved, started building, have had 2 family reunions (one was a full camping experience in tents, rain and mud, and the other was at my families cabin which both were great!!), Jax has been playing baseball, flag football, and both of the boys have been in swim lessons. WHEW!! Busy. But we are sure enjoying every minute of it. The summer is flying and we are finally having some nice warm weather. We finally went to the pool yesterday and had a blast. Here are a few pics. of a little boy who wasn't quite done swimming. I was making dinner and had gotten the boys in their pajamas and all of a sudden Jax yelled to have me come look...(I thought the boys were jumping on the tramp. One of them was, can you guess who that one was???)

Building!!

2009-06-30T06:48:00.001-07:00

So we sold our house and have starting building!!! We are so excited. Angela and Eric have been so great to let us stay at their house while we build. We are thrilled. They have the foundation in and are moving quickly. We can't wait. I will try my best to keep you posted on the progress.

Fun Moving!

2009-06-30T06:43:00.000-07:00

Sorry, these would not rotate for whatever reason but you can see how they boys are having fun moving. They were such troopers and excited for the new house.

President Monson!!!

2009-06-07T20:00:00.001-07:00

Believe it or not... That is President Monson in the flesh. Not photo shopped nothing!! That is Tyson and my mom and then Ally, Ken, and Tyson. I was the photographer and after a few pictures we didn't want to take all of his time so we don't have any pictures of me with him but still it was amazing!!.

My dad's 1st cousin is married to President Monson's son and their son Tommy just got married. Well last Thursday the Prophet and the rest of the First Presidency had a prayer and temple session for Tegan. I know amazing. With this we really wanted to come and support the family. Not thinking Pres. Monson would be there because of the health of his wife we were shocked when he walked in. He was amazing. So funny and down to earth. My mom was wearing a yellow scarf and he told her it was his favorite color. He was so sweet about little Tegan and told of the strong spirit that was there. It was incredible. He is as perfect as he seems in magazines and on TV. Even better. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity and I am so grateful to have been there.

Check Out Tegan's Own blog...

2009-05-16T16:27:00.000-07:00

Hello Hello. Kirby and Ally just created a blog specific for Tegan. We will be updating and sending pictures on this. Pass it on to any and everyone. We love you all. The blog address is... teganlyn.blogspot.com

Tegan Update!!

2009-05-12T13:08:00.000-07:00

Hello to all. First, on Angela and Eric's behalf, thank you over and over again for all the prayers, phone calls, love, and support. They just got some sad news. Teg has a rare Malignant rhabdoid tumor also known as MRT. This is a rare very agressive cancer. The doctors are going to start the most agressive treatment on Monday. They will stay in SLC in an apartment for at least a month. The treatment is so strong, Teg will lose her hair within days, experience sickness, sores, and who knows what else. The doctors have told them if they did not have hope for Tegan, they would not put her through this type of treatment. Though everyone is so sad, we are all still faithful that Teg with be a miracle. She was after all a miracle baby for Angela and Eric. They didn't know if they would ever have a child of their own, yet Heavenly Father blessed them with this sweet ANGEL who has brought nothing but joy and happiness to our family.

So many of you have asked what do they need, what can we do... Prayers, names in the temple close to you, (once I get the address where they are staying I will get it to you), cards, really anything to let them know you are thinking about them. They feel of all your love and know Heavenly Father has a plan for them and their sweet baby girl. I will continue to update this as I know more. Love to everyone.

Life is so Precious!!

2009-05-04T15:06:00.001-07:00

One of the other reasons we headed to Utah was because our little angel niece Tegan was just diagnosed with Cancer. She was at the Children's Primary Hospital on Friday so we stopped there first. My parents flew in from DC to be here with the family. What a blessing a great family and friend support system are. I can't begin to tell you on Ang, Eric and our families behalf, how we have felt each and every one of your prayers,thoughts, and love. We all realize the road ahead is not going to be easy but everyone along with the doctors are optimisic for a full recovery.

It is so sad to think there are times in our lives when tragedy strikes and it is all you needed to get back to reality. To get your priorities strait, and to be so thankful for what you have. I love this little girl like my own and can't describe mine and my families heartache. You would be amazed at how strong Ang and Eric are as well. They are going into this with steadfast hearts and true faith that prayers are answered. Thank you to eveyone for your love and support. I will keep people posted as well as my other sisters. They will go back on Wednesday for more tests and more of an idea on what the treatment will be like. Mom and dad bought one way tickets to be here for whatever they need. Thanks again. Here are the 4 munchkins at the hospital on Friday. Are they not so dang cute?? They love Jaxon so much and want to do whatever he is doing. We are so blessed!

Fun With Megs and Crew!!

2009-05-04T14:48:00.001-07:00

We went to Utah this weekend for a few different reasons, at first it was for Kyle and I's 10 year anniversary. Kyle got us tickets to Wicked which was AMAZING! I almost cried it was that good. We were also going to see Megan and the family. As you can see we had a great time with the cousins. Thanks so much Meg., and mom and dad for keeping the boys. Kyle and I had a wonderful time.
This is at this amazing indoor amusement park. The boys loved it.

Dad Williams and Bridg. Looks like Dad is a little more tired. Him and Kyle had gone golfing in the rain at 6am so he was tired.

My Baby Turned 6

2009-05-04T14:39:00.000-07:00

It is official, Jaxon is 6 years old!!! He had such a fun day with his friend Cooper, and cousins at McDonalds. He is so thrilled about starting school and just growing up. It is so crazy!
Jax., Ken., and Cooper.

The Three Rascals in All their Glory. Don't let their cute little smiles fool you!! They are so sweet!!

Sunny Weather!

2009-04-22T11:37:00.001-07:00

The weather has made a sunny turn and as you can see we are taking full advantage of it. It is so great and the boys have such a blast. We hope it sticks around.

Hair Cuts

2009-04-22T11:33:00.000-07:00

The boys got haircuts and they always look so grown up...

Easter Sunday!

2009-04-13T09:37:00.000-07:00

So for Easter Kyle was on call and at the hosp. all morning but we were still going to get pictures of the boys in their cute Easter outfits from Grammie (thanks so much for their fun surprises!). While we were on the porch Tavin fell into the bushes so even though he doesn't look happy he is still so cute! They were so sweet and loved everything from the jelly bean trail to their Easter Baskets (Williams Tradition, Love it) to the yarn maze to find a gift from mom and dad, more Easter Egg Hunts and a yummy dinner with friends. I know most of you only care about the pic. of the boys so here you go.

Happy Easter! Whew!!! All caught up for now. love ya...

Easter Egg Hunting!

2009-04-13T09:36:00.001-07:00

Saturday Fun at Grandma's!

2009-04-13T09:24:00.000-07:00

On Saturday we went to Firth to the big Easter Egg Hunt there. It was a blast. They have it broken into age groups and overall for as crazy as they can get, it was great. We then hung out with Grandma and Grandpa. It was so fun because the boys made bread, and grandma made a fruit truck for the boys. A few weekends before she had some of our neices these and they made fruit flowers. They were in heaven. Lins. was there and Natalie and crew came too. It was a party. Jaxon and Porter were MIA most of the afternoon just playing and Lins colored and cut mine and Kyle's hair. Thanks girls. BTW I CANNED!!! Yep Nat, mom and I made Strawberry jam. Thanks for a great weekend!

I forgot little toes!!

2009-04-13T09:23:00.001-07:00

I forgot the toes picture!!

Photo Shoot with the Cousins!

2009-04-13T08:48:00.000-07:00

For Easter we wanted to get pictures with all the kiddos. Wow to get all the little ones smiling. The little toes are my sweet boys. They are getting so big!!

Swimming Lessons!

2009-04-13T08:43:00.000-07:00

So my little swimmer had another session of swim lessons and loved it. At the end on their last day they do this pirate ship thing where they walk across a plank, go through the forest and all these fun things. I think he liked it!!

We are Still Alive and doing well!!

2009-04-13T08:32:00.000-07:00

Wow it has been a while since I posted so we are going back a little bit...

In Feb. we went to DC to visit the fam. before Tavin turned 2. What a blast. We went to the Great Wolf Lodge which is a big water park, Disney on Ice, had a bday party for Tav. met up with some cousins and friends and filled each and every hour of the 6 days with things to do. It was great. My Camera was not working so I used my sisters so you will have to use your imagination of how amazing the trip was. Thanks mom and dad!!!

JAXON IS SUCH A GREAT BIG BROTHER!

2009-01-12T13:10:00.000-08:00

Tav decided he wanted to sleep in bed with Jax. last night... Most big brothers would not let that happen but Jax thought it was so great. I knew it wouldn't last long so I went along with it. About 2 minutes later I heard Jax telling him to get back to bed before he had to go to time out. Tav ended up in his crib but not until I could snap a little picture. Don't they look tired!!??

PRE-SCHOOL!!

2009-01-12T13:04:00.000-08:00

We had a field trip this morning for pre-school. It was so much fun. We went to this little bakery, had a tour, decorated cookies, and then bought some treats for FHE tonight. It was fun. We have a great group of kids and moms. We have loved it. Tavin came too which he is convinced he is as big as everyone else. Fun Times!!

BROTHERS!!

2009-01-12T12:54:00.000-08:00

So Tavin has to do everything his big brother is doing which means when Jax is helping mom cook so does Tavin. Needless to say my mom got Jaxon this matching hat and apron and I don't have one Tavin's size so we made one up. Aren't they cute.??

TAVIN THE TAZ!!

2009-01-05T09:14:00.000-08:00

For all of you Tavin has fooled into thinking he is such an angel, this picture says it all. Heaven forbid he just eat his lunch. As funny as this picture is I left the room for seconds, and came back to this master piece. What a piece of work. Good thing he is so dang cute. It is his only saving grace. I couldn't ask for better boys though, what great blessings they are!!

Sledding Fun with the Kiddos.

2009-01-05T08:56:00.000-08:00

We finally went sledding!! It was a blast. Ally and Kennedy came with us. I think for the last couple of weeks I have been telling jaxon that I would take them and I finally did. Kyle went skiing with a few of his friends so I thought we would have our own snow fun. After sledding we went and had hot chocolate. Ally and I had to take turns bringing the sled with the babies backup the hill. They loved it. We were there for over an hour and finally we were so tired of the trek we called it quits. Jaxon got tired too but was such a trooper. He climbed up and down every time.

More New year Fun!

2009-01-05T08:47:00.001-08:00

So we had the Munns fam over for the New Years Eve party. We ate yummy snacks, played lots of games, and the kids did a little show for the girls. It was hilarious. You know Tavin is such a copy cat and wants to do EVERYTHING his older brother does.

BROTHER FUN!!

2009-01-05T08:43:00.001-08:00

Brother fun, watching a movie, making thank you letters, and then of course trying on their new masks they got for Christmas. Santa was thinking about when they get to go to the cabin to snow mobile and how the masks help keep their little faces warm. They are so sweet!

New Years Party Time with Fam.!!!

2009-01-05T08:35:00.001-08:00

Matching Pajamas from Grammie and grandpa (best buddy forever).

Christmas Eve!!

2009-01-05T08:24:00.000-08:00

Well Christmas Eve was so much fun. We went to Firth with Kyle's side of the family... we ate, took pictures, ate, had a great program, ate, opened presents, and then ate some more. It was such a blast. We went to our home for Christmas Eve night, we opened pajamas and then the boys went to bed. Jax put out food for the reindeer and that was all he wanted to check on in the morning. Soon after he realized Santa had brought him a Wii. He was thrilled. The boys didn't wake up until 9 which was killing Kyle and I. We were both so excited. They were a blast. We opened presents, had a really nice breakfast with Tyson, Ally, and Kenny (what they boys call my sweet niece), went to a movie, and didn't finish opening everything until after 8. We played Rock Band, Wii, and just enjoyed being together. It was wonderful.

Getting Ready for Christmas!!

2008-12-23T10:41:00.000-08:00

We had the worst snow storm and it is still snowing. Jaxon had such a blast!! We are so excited for Chrismtas and hope everyone has a wonderful holiday. PS That is Jaxon... He was outside all day. He would come in for a little hot chocolate and back out he went. Tavin was not a big fan!!

SNOW SNOW SNOW!!!

2008-12-09T10:22:00.000-08:00

It was Pocatello's first real snow day, and the Boys loved it. Tavin didn't know what to think at first and Jaxon was so thrilled. His friend Benton came over to make a fort. They had a blast.

KRIS KRINGLE CAME!!!

2008-12-08T10:08:00.000-08:00

I am like my parents. For the last coupld of weeks I have used Kris Kringle as a great disciplinary tool. Needless to say when Jaxon was asked what he got in his shoes his first response was, "I didn't get sticks." We have this tradition from when we lived in Germany. You put your shoes out on the 5th of Dec. and if you get treats it means to keep up the good work for Christmas, and if you haven't been good, you get sticks. No sticks at our house this year. We have a few more weeks to use Santa now. We had fun. Tavin was most excited about the treats. These were the new shirts they got. Tavin is in that cheesy grin stage. Every time he sees the camera, that is what you get. They are such a blast and couldn't be more excited about the Holidays. PS They just got haircuts and they look so grown up!!

Tavin the RASCAL!

2008-12-08T10:05:00.000-08:00

So here is my sweet darling after using my mascara as lipstick. Doesn't he look so sad about getting in trouble!! Should I be worried??

Gingerbread House FUN!!

2008-12-02T12:22:00.000-08:00

For Family Home Evening last night we went to our friends house to make Gingerbread houses. Notice Tavin is eating the candy, Jaxon loved decorating and so did Daddy!! It was a blast.

Painter!!

2008-12-02T12:18:00.001-08:00

Tavin is going to be the next professional painter. While I was gone Visiting Teaching the little rascal got into a permanent marker and wrote all over our walls, appliances, down the stairs, and on his little while shirt. At the moment it was not funny at all so these pictures were taken the next morning.
