Friday night snuggling

Just being silly and snuggling with my kiddos!

Back to blogging

I have sure put blogging on hold lately. Well this week I will be back to weekly blogging. I have so much to catch up on, Ethab turns 4, St. Patrick's, life, funny quotes and just good old memories. So stay tuned!

Piper's Tea Party

Piper's 4th birthday tea party was too precious. Seeing little girls dressed in their best and sipping on tea and getting a sugar high from all the yummy treats was so darling to see. It was a perfect party. 

St. Patrick's Day

Oh we had a fun "green" day this year. Of course the leprechauns came and turned everything green! The kids loved it! We spent the morning with Makenna and Colton eating green eggs and ham and green waffles. It was a fun day celebrating St. Patrick's Day. Today would have been my Grandma Jennie's 90th birthday, I miss her everyday, especially on her birthday.

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Ethan is {F.O.U.R}

My sweet, energetic, lovable, funny, ambitious little man turned 4 this month....{tear}! Still in awe of how fast the time has gone by.  4 years ago I was a crazy mom with a newborn and a 14 month old, living off no sleep but trying to enjoy every moment of having my two babies. Fast forward to last month and now I have a four year old. It's very bittersweet for me, as I am so happy to see him grow up into a big boy, but I feel that FOUR is not a baby anymore (even though he will ALWAYS be my little baby). But he is the darn cutest little 4 year old I have seen (I know I am a bit biased, he is my son). We celebrated the little man Pirate style.....arrrgh, shiver me timbers it was a great little family birthday party and he had a blast with all his little Pirate cousins. Here are some pictures from the party.

Happy birthday my sweet boy!! We love you so much!

Love,
Mommy & Daddy

Taelor's 5 {F.I.V.E}

Really was it already 5 years ago that we brought our precious little baby girl home who forever changed our lives?!? FIVE is such a big number for me, it's a whole hand, it's the age kindergarten will start, it's the age I feel they aren't toddlers anymore, they are actually "kids". Well my sweet princess is 5 and we brought in New Year's Eve with a great party for her. A few days before she invited her 3 girlfriends to Downtown Disney Studio 365 for a little makeover. It was so cute seeing these little girls get so pampered. I love having a New Year's Eve baby, it's a fun day, a day/evening everyone in the world celebrates, so what is there not to love about a New Year's Eve birthday! Taelor is one sweet little girl with the most timid, gentle, kind, loving heart. She adores her brother, LOVES Jesus, sings, dances, laughs, smiles, is girlie, plays dress up, loves to read, play with dolls, tea parties and anything sweet! This past year she learned to write her name, she can spell and write mommy and daddy as her first words, she played soccer and loved it and learned ballet. She is my precious love who I look forward to seeing grow this year (even though secretly I want her to stay young and innocent her whole life).  I love you my baby girl!

Thanksgiving to Christmas...

This Thanksgiving I hosted the hubby's family at our house. It was great to be the host with of course the help of my wonderful Mother in love :) The kids enjoyed preparing the food as you can see they were quite busy cutting ONE potato each! As for the turkey, well yeah that is a different story, let's just say I will have to leave the "prepping" of a turkey in the hands of my hubby or mother in love! Turkey and vegetarian just don't go together! All in all it was a great Thanksgiving!

The Christmas season went by in a flash. The kids were busy rehearsing each week for our church's choir in which my sweet little girl had a solo in and she did very well! We were busy each day doing and learning fun things for Christmas. We had our annual trip to see the Fashion Island Christmas tree and a visit with Santa. Our Elf on the Shelf was named Chippy and the kids enjoyed having him with us all month long. We wrote letters and mailed them to Santa, we baked cookies, read Christmas books that were wrapped under the tree each night, made lots of crafts, watched Christmas movies- Elf on the Shelf about 100 times, Polar Express, Home Alone, Toot and Puddle Christmas and many more. Christmas morning was priceless to see the looks on our kids faces when they saw their new bikes and all the other gifts Santa had left, we lounged around in our jammies till 2pm, until we had to head out to Gamma's, it was a wonderful relaxing morning!We had a great season we really did but I am sure glad all the craziness is winding down and life if getting back to "normal" or so I think!

Now it's a new Year 2012 and we celebrated Taelor's birthday on New Year's Eve, so I will be sure to post on the fun birthday festivities too!

Catching up with the Williams....

Wow where did Fall go?? Here in a nutshell is what our busy lives have been the last few months! The beginning of September through November was Soccer for Taelor and she loved it! She had a blast learning how to play and practice all her drills with real Brits! Yep it was a British League she was playing with and they did a great job at teaching these little ones the basics of soccer. She can't wait to play again and Ethan is excited to try his little feet at soccer next year too!

October was full of fun things to do for Halloween. Taelor and I went on her school field trip to Tanaka farms where we did the hay ride, corn maze, picked our own veggies and pumpkin. It was a lot of fun, we missed not having Ethan and Daddy there but it was still fun to see her with all her classmates. A week later we all went as a family and had a blast. I really love Tanaka Farms, it's a great tradition we do every year.

November brought Daddy's birthday (it was a big one but I won't mention the number :) We had a great time celebrating just the 4 of us, just the way daddy wanted it to be. Happy Birthday babe!

Thanksgiving has come and gone but that will be a post later this week....I promise and then I will share my December Dailies with you too, so stay tuned!

My new blog RoseLynn Lane

I started a new blog with my sweet friend Rosette. We both share a love for crafting, baking, and being creative so we decided to start our own blog called RoseLynn Lane. Stop by for some inspiration.

Time away....

Oh I am looking forward to getting away for the weekend with some amazing ladies from my church. I look forward to this weekend all year. I come back feeling so refreshed in my faith and getting to know some great girls a little more. Ok yes I also look forward to relaxing, sleeping in and being worry free for a few days! So here's to a great weekend ahead of me!
