only tuesday....

It's only tuesday and the weekend seems so far away. I think I'm sad, maybe depressed too. I keep thinking about my friend Christina. Her father passed away a few days ago and I know how bad she's hurting but I can't be there for her cause i'm so far away. I feel helpless. I hate to know that my friend is hurting and going through one of the saddest most tragic weeks of her life. Please keep Christina, Calvin, and their family in your thoughts and prayers.

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!

It's Friday! WHOOO HOOOO!!!! I'm so excited that this week is finally over. It always seems that the first week back to work after a vacation seems sooooooo long.

So Jackson and I have been struggling to get out of bed every morning this week. And today, as I was waking Jackson up....he struggled to open his eyes and said in the sweetest voice "is it finally friday?" "YEP BABY IT SURE IS!!! " I said! He got right up and started getting ready. We couldn't wait to get the day started just so it could be over with. We even celebrated on the way to work/daycare, with a trip through McDonalds drive through for a bacon egg 'n cheese breakfast bagel . We absolutely love them(minus the breakfast sauce of course, gross and ridiculously fattening)

We are planning on swimming ALOT this weekend! The pool in our development is ready and waiting!!! And of course, Couper is getting a trip to the Bark Park! Also we'll be getting ready for our yardsale next weekend. Still haven't decided how we'll spend our yardsale earnings. The choices are...buy a trampoline, go to a waterpark, go camping, or buy a tv for mommy's bedroom! hmmmmm....pretty sure mom is going to lose the tv!!! but oh well :)

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!!

Fishing with Pappy

While we were back home in PA, we took a fishing trip with my dad. Even though we didn't catch anything we still had a great time!

I think this hat might be the reason we didn't catch anything.....I probably scared them all away!!! Yep....that's right.....I'm a dork!!!

A new addition!!!!

Congratulations to my sister Sue Ann!!! She gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, Huxley Glenn Anderson Williams, on Monday June 9th at 10:35pm. I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to be there for the entire labor. It was amazing! She was in labor for 22 hours and dealt with it better than I would have. I'm so proud of her. The birth of my nephew was a day Jackson and I will never forget. We are so excited to have a baby in the family that we can spoil and love!

Jackson holding his cousin for the first time.....so precious!

Jackson and Huxley.....4 days old!

Mmmmm....Smores!!!

I love making smores!! And at our house we don't wait until we go camping to make them. In the winter we make them in our fireplace in the family room and in the summer we make them on the back patio! YUMMY!!!! Did you know they've just come out with flavored marshmallows??? Chocolate and Strawberry !! Quite possibly the greatest new treat I've found in a while!!! Jackson's friend Dylan slept over last week. It was a great time! Not alot of sleeping....but we had a good time anyway!

Playing on our tire swing...now that's summer!!!

Soccer, soccer, soccer....

Soccer season is finally over. Here are some pics from our undefeated winning season. WhooHoo!!! Go Red Rhinos!!!!

Jackson in action!!! Go #20!!!

Celebrating another win!!!

Jackson...

Jackson received his 4H medal and certificate for completing different programs within 4H. He was so proud of it so we thought we'd post it! Our daycare actually provides different programs like this for the kids to participate in. I think it's great that they have extra programs to involve the kids in besides just playing all day. We are so blessed to have the daycare that we do. All of our teachers are fabulous and always smiling which makes going there at the buttcrack of dawn alot easier! Here's a shoutout to all the good daycare providers in the world that make life a little less worrisome for mom's like me.

Christina....check out his ultra cool Indiana Jones t-shirt!!! We found them at the GAP along with really cool vintage looking Star Wars ones!!
