Sam's First BIG Fall!

Just a quick post...Sam was outside playing yesterday and decided to crawl up into a table structure we had. She then proceeded to lean back, fall out backwards, and then have the table land on top of her as she was sprawled out on the ground. I gotta say she has done way better with the bruises and bumps then her brother EVER did. As this is her first big one and she is almost 18 months. Andy on the other hand...well did we ever have a full week without some bruise or bump from the time he was a year til he was over 2? I don't think so :)Love you all!!!
Take care.

Let it snow!

Talk about crazy weather, snows, then its 60 degrees here in Montana! Sheesh! Here are just a couple of pictures of the kids. It doesn't really matter how cold it is outside they still want to be out in it!

We are still going to the YMCA everyday to have mommy and me time and have also joined a group called MOPS which is a great time for me and the kids. Here are some pictures of the kids enjoying their GYM time.

And finally here are a couple of pictures of the kids just being crazy. I also am including a video of Sam walking in the snow finally as the first couple times she wouldn't put her feet down! She looks alot like her Grandmas walking but she did it! LOL! Hopefully it will load right because we still don't have internet and are still using Jeremy's phone for our connection LOL

We love and miss everyone!

What's Happening?

The Williams household has been pretty quiet, well as quiet as it can be with 2 kids under 3 :) Some news:

We had to put our great dog Jake down this past month. He was pretty sick and not doing very good. Andy still asks "Wheres Jake, Mom?" We explained that he was up in heaven and was much happier now. But he still misses him. Coda our other dog still misses him too but is slowly getting used to the idea of being alone.

We had an offer on our house in Oregon and everything was going well until the home inspection. The guy just ripped the house apart, almost made it sound like a drug house sheesh! The prospective buyer backed out, who wouldn't? LOL after the way he made it sound. We are keeping our hopes up that someone else will offer us something soon.

Some good news:

I got my very first calling at church and am now the proud assistant to the Webelos scout troop! It's very exciting as this way I can learn all about the scouts before Andy gets in!

We are doing the blue and gold dinner in March and I am very excited to be helping out with the skit so they can get their "SHOWMAN" badge. It's great fun and I am so blessed to have such a great group of women at the church.

Here are a couple of pictures of the kids just so everyone can see how fast they are growing...it's going by so fast! We miss everyone tremendously!

GRANDMA AND POPPA pictures

Well Grandma and poppa came to stay with us for over a week and it was so much fun! We did Dinners Done right which is a cool place you go and put together a bunch of meals for the family but you don't worry about the shopping or cleaning up. Me and mom did that and it was a blast! We also had a girls day and went and got hair cuts and that was pretty great too! Here are some pictures of the week:

Grandma and Andy chillin' on the couch!

Grandma, Andy and Sam all playin'

Nothing like having poppa playing with the trains and dancing to Thomas the Tank Engine theme song.

Swing me more Grandma!!! (seriously like 20 minutes of swinging) :)

Are you done with the comics yet Poppa??

Me and Jer even took advantage and went out on a date night, we had a great time! Thanks Grandma and Poppa for coming to stay with us, after you left for the next two days all I heard from Andy is, "where's Grandma and poppa?" I am hoping to come stay in March with you guys so I thought I would prepare you early, THE CIRCUS WILL BE COMING TO TOWN soon. :)

Our first visitors!

Grandma Gog sent me pictures of their visit (as I was having so much fun I didn't even remember to take any) and I had to share. Andy had such a wonderful time playing trains with Grandpa Beard and even Sam got in on the action.Poor Grandpa didn't get to sleep in at our house as Andy just couldn't wait for him to get up so he just climbed in bed and woke him up. (Sorry Brent) I was very excited to have visitors while Jeremy was away and they helped sooooo much.

It's been fun so far......

Well Montana is still treating us great, and we still love it here. It has been a full month for us, getting moved in, arranging the house, getting routines down, and just being a family. I have finally adjusted to being a full-time mom (I think) and am very happy to be at home with my kids watching every little new and exciting thing that happens in their life. And the trick to getting them to do whatever I want? SUCKERS!!

They are having a great time meeting new friends at the YMCA, (they now have mommy and me stuff to do every day) and just having a great time hanging out in the yard. We had a couple of really beautiful days here so I had to take a picture, record highs even! This picture was taken from our back yard! Big Sky Montana! I love the sunrises here!

They are finally old enough to give them bath together (Andy doesn't try to drown her anymore :) ) thank goodness because it definitely saves on the back pain LOL

Grandma Gog and Grandpa Beard came over this last weekend to keep me company because Jeremy went back to Oregon to pick up all the rest of our stuff. BIG THANKS TO HUGH AND LOREN, AND GEOFF for helping Jeremy. I have no idea what he would have done without you guys!!

The kids had a blast with Grandma and Grandpa this weekend and boy were they life savers!! Goldia even taught me how to make bread in my bread maker woohooo!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HELP THIS WEEKEND!! I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!

I just had to learn how to make cinnamon rolls as we no longer live next door to the Hales and Jeremy is missing Jeanettas' cinnamon rolls. I can't make them quite as good as her but maybe with a little practice.. We love you all and will keep in touch.

Grandma Sandy and Poppa are coming this weekend so I will be sure and post all the adventures. I will leave you all with one last image...ANDY IS SO STRONG!! AND GETTING SO BIG! :)

Christmas in our new home!!

We had a wonderful Christmas in our new home. We were only missing two things, a real Christmas tree and lights for our artificial tree :) other than that everything was absolutely perfect!

The kids really enjoyed opening all of their presents and loved playing with them even more!

Sam definitely loved opening her presents, maybe more than playing with them this year.

Andy got to play with his Thomas the Train all day long!!

And Sam got some music toys so she can really get down and boogie!

We all had a wonderful day, We are so blessed. Thank you!!
