Blayne's Return

We had a great party for Blayne when he came home for a long weekend during his training in the Marine Corps. He will need all of our prayers as he will be leaving for Iraq in the next couple of months. May God keep him safe!!!

VACATION!!!!

If Jason and Paula don't already have it posted, here it is! Our get-a-way was awesome, just not long enough. We went to a cabin near Watson, OK, right on the river. No kids, just us four parents. The hubbies attempted to fish, we ate like royalty(we did our own cooking of fajitas and such), a little canoeing, and some hiking. Mostly alot of visiting and enjoying our time away. The guys even shared in dish duty( pics to prove it). A little fresh air does everyone good unless it's ragweed season, then you all end up stuffy like we did!

Way Overdue!!!

Julie and Nate celebrated their birthdays together at their favorite restaurant, Rocky Mountain Grill. Nate discovered he liked crab stuffed mushrooms and we all had a great time. All the grandparents came and the food and fellowship was fun. Nate got a Bear compound bow(pics soon)for his b-day, so he and dad have been having a good time. Mom got a new purse and wallet with a new pink chi iron. Good times!

Shelby's Perfect Princess Party

We are a little late at the pictures, but better late than never. The little princess had a princess make-over party on July 3rd for her 3rd birthday and it was a blast. We convinced Nate to wear a prince costume so that the princesses could have their pictures taken with the prince and take the pictures home with them. They had their hair done, tiaras, make-up and nails, and choice of dresses. Nate was so handsome and such a good sport about the entire thing. Very Prissy!!!

The Kids

Just had to show how well we are protected here in our neck of the woods.

Camp Ozark

While Julie was nursing the kids, Nate was busy chanting in the mess hall, swimming, playing games, dressing up for events, hang'n on the ropes course, archery, riding horses, slipping on the water slides, and becoming a member of the awesome Caddo tribe. (we are no longer allowed to wear Osage blue at our house, only Caddo red.) Go Caddo!!!
Believe it or not, both Julie and Nate have been invited back for next year.

She is So Girly!!!

Shelby got dress-up outfits for her birthday and we can barely get her out of them. She loves to dress up like a princess or fairy any chance that she gets and expects the royal treatment to go along with her attire. Can we say spoiled? Grandparents can't possibly have anything to do with that!!

Fun in the Sun

This summer was a ton of fun when we had the time to get out and enjoy the sun! We took the kids to Magic Springs a few times and cooled off in Crystal Falls. Chad and Nate had fun on the slides while Shelby and I enjoyed the kiddie pool and wave pool. The kids had fun in Aunt Sheri's pool also with the family. Nate has a true love of the diving board.

Father's Day

Three generations of Williams men. The question is, will the youngest one carry on the legacy of becoming a firefighter also? Only time will tell!

Children's Camp

This year was a blast. Chad and I both were counselors and I also was camp nurse. We were blessed in that we had no injuries, just a major thunderstorm and an evening of improvised dinner without electricity.
The Lord was with us and kept us all safe and we ended up having a great time and can't wait until next year.
