I just found out recently that both my daughter-in-laws are pregnant and expecting around May. These two amazing little girls are going to be joined by two more brothers or sisters.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Emma and Allie are a lot of fun. Emma is very cautious in the beginning but warms up quickly. She watches and figures things out. When she smiles her whole face lights up. Her smile is one of my favorite things. I shouldn't admit it but I love the way she sucks on her two fingers upside down. On the way home from a family reunion Emma was tired of being in her car seat so I started rubbing her feet to calm her down. She is now hooked I hear, her mom said when she is tired she will try to rub them herself.</div><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SrfAehMnXPI/AAAAAAAAAXY/01DZhrHN3GE/s320/Emma+riding.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 228px; height: 320px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383983510084607218" /><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SrfAfHCy4WI/AAAAAAAAAXg/_bSWLqZJ9bM/s320/Emmas+fingers.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 217px; height: 320px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383983520243966306" />Allie is so different than Emma but equally fun to be with. Allie is very vocal and loves to be noticed. She is very curious and not so cautious, she just goes after whatever interests her. Sorry Harley! Our dog Harley interests her a lot!<div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SrfCdhwQqSI/AAAAAAAAAXw/AuoDvXGbY7A/s1600-h/August+2009+246.jpg" style="text-decoration: none;"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SrfCdhwQqSI/AAAAAAAAAXw/AuoDvXGbY7A/s320/August+2009+246.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383985692077500706" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 250px; " /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SrfCdJl65ZI/AAAAAAAAAXo/0njzLHaKWw4/s1600-h/August+2009+252.jpg"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SrfCdJl65ZI/AAAAAAAAAXo/0njzLHaKWw4/s320/August+2009+252.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383985685591680402" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 304px; height: 320px; " /></a></div>Elder Tyler Williamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10169499560142751264noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4085450132462386469.post-57402465597083830902009-09-19T11:43:00.000-07:002009-09-21T13:39:50.101-07:00Spud Day!<div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SrfQrCAJkMI/AAAAAAAAAZQ/Iu51vZlRySQ/s1600-h/7234_1223452752535_1415476864_30621089_5432132_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SrfQrCAJkMI/AAAAAAAAAZQ/Iu51vZlRySQ/s320/7234_1223452752535_1415476864_30621089_5432132_n.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384001317235167426" /></a><div>Most of you know that I'm from Idaho. But what you might not have known is I am from Shelley. Home of the Russet Potatoes. In grade school you are a tator tot, in Jr. High a Spudnik, and in High school a mighty Russet. LOL... Anyway, every year in Shelley they have a Spud Day. It starts off with Miss Russet being chosen the week before.. Saturday starts with a parade and then after the parade in the park they have activities. They have a talent stage, Spud picking, Free baked potatoes for lunch and then a tug of war over a pit of mashed potatoes made in a cement truck. They have kids games, rides, paint balling and lots of yummy food. This year my niece, Mandy, sold cotton candy. She was a bit sticky afterwards. </div><div><br /></div><div>But what you might not know is that my mom is in the Guinness Book of World Records for breaking the world record on peeling the most potatoes in a set time. She was team captain and their team a few years back beat the Norwegians. Shelley also lets their students out of school for about 2 weeks to help harvest the potatoes. I always worked in the potatoes to earn money for school clothes. Anyway posted below is a few pictures of Shelley!</div><br /><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SrfNSdv0vcI/AAAAAAAAAYI/KjruGGzq33g/s200/7228_1224928177087_1045470624_714416_6828895_n.jpg" style="cursor:pointer;

Jason left in June and Danielle had to stay behind to wait for her Visa. Which was great for us but very difficult for her! I was very grateful for the time that we were able to spend with her. I'm really going to miss her, but I'm excited for this new adventure her and Jason will have.<div><div><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SreokQB-HkI/AAAAAAAAAUI/rkAg-gKMr9U/s320/Danielle.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 235px; height: 320px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383957220276706882" /></div><div>I Love this photo!</div><div><br /></div><div>Shortly beforeDanielle left she bought a motorcycle and got her license. </div><div><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SrepEpsMLcI/AAAAAAAAAUQ/QpLmhxo_ges/s320/Go+Girl!.jpg" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383957776920489410" /></div><div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>She left her bike here so if anyone is interested it is for sale$$.</div></div></div>Elder Tyler Williamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10169499560142751264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4085450132462386469.post-19233754715030782502009-08-22T09:41:00.000-07:002009-09-21T10:56:49.721-07:00One of my FAVORITE places!<img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SrexWgQX4tI/AAAAAAAAAUY/4WgRT-vBxlU/s200/Meadow+Lake.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383966879718564562" /><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SrexXHqrzyI/AAAAAAAAAUg/QbAYQTuY-1A/s200/Other+side+of+the+lake.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383966890297904930" /><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SreyITWlmiI/AAAAAAAAAVI/cZoM4LDKDsE/s200/Marissa+walking.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383967735248427554" /><div>Every year when I was growing up my mom's family would all get together and go camping. We would go to Meadow Lake which is in Idaho. So this year a few of us went up the weekend before school started. It was really nice to have Danielle still with us. But I was so anxious to get up there that I left my husband home! Sorry Michael, I wished we had waited a day for you to come with us. It would have been a lot more fun with you. My sister Ronda and her granddaughter Destiny came and my cousin Brian and his wife Anne where also there.<div><br /></div><div>For me it is the memories of going there with my cousins. When I was younger I hung out with my cousin Bruce all the time. He liked to do boy things! My girl cousins would sit around and play cards and paint their nails and I wanted to be hiking, kayaking, fishing and exploring. When I became a teenager I would hang out with the girls, but still found time to do all the other things!</div><div>This year we went fishing, hiking and Tyler put on his wet suit and fins and spent most of his time finding things in the lake. He found tons of fish hooks and this year a MP3 player in the lake which he dried out and it works great!</div><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SrexYryuGKI/AAAAAAAAAU4/D1BwY7Myh18/s200/Tyler+in+the+lake.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383966917175154850" /><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SreyI2QozSI/AAAAAAAAAVQ/BgQGfatJwvc/s200/Danielle+caught+a+fish!.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 137px; height: 200px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383967744618712354" /></div><div>Tyler in the lake ------- Danielle's fish she caught! </div><div><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SrexYLFKdKI/AAAAAAAAAUw/6x01gI5LvkE/s200/Marissa+crossing+lake.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383966908394140834" /></div><div>Marissa crossing the lake!<br /><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SreyHrMnjbI/AAAAAAAAAVA/GMY6pzCstrs/s200/All+of+us!.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383967724469194162" /><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SrexXkt16PI/AAAAAAAAAUo/HgCDgjHPw1w/s200/Breakfast.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383966898095778034" /><br /><br /><div> </div></div>Elder Tyler Williamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10169499560142751264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4085450132462386469.post-54322208377100301852009-08-12T08:33:00.000-07:002009-09-21T16:02:40.909-07:00Been Awhile!Well it's not spring anymore and summer is over and fall is here. A lot has happened here and I haven't been very good at keeping up my blog.<br /><div><div><div><br /></div><div>In Rexburg every year they do a International Dance Festival. Last year was our first year to help. We housed a couple from Greece and had a great time. This year I was co-chair of housing for all the teams and I personally was responsible for Taiwan. So it was my job to get families to house the 32 members of the Taiwan team and then to help with the other countries assigned to me.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>We had a great time this year! We housed two 14 year old girls, Sabrina and Shining, for most of the week and had 6 girls by the end of the 11 days. Mostly we are responsible for housing, feeding all meals and getting the girls to all the performances and practices they need to be at. The festival kept them very busy this year. Some of the pictures I have included are of our girls and some of the fun things we did with them. </div><div><br /></div><div>When it was time to take them to their bus to say goodbye it was very hard to let them go. They hung on to us and cried because they didn't want to leave. It is amazing and wonderful how close we got to them, I really wanted to keep them.</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/Srei_7IUv7I/AAAAAAAAAT4/BGofQvvji2Y/s320/August+2009+072.jpg" style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383951098632781746" /><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SrehurhZthI/AAAAAAAAATg/qwr3JqJ4Tto/s320/our+family.jpg" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 288px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383949702873593362" /><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Taiwan team.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Taiwan girls!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Sabrina & Shining with our family.</div><br /><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SreikB547nI/AAAAAAAAATw/7z9zCK423cA/s320/August+2009+142.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383950619414949490" />All our girls!<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Shining had her Birthday while she was with us!

It's gone today and it is warm enough that I am cleaning up my flowerbeds. Like in the 50's, That's warm here.<br /><div></div><br /><div>Today outside I am listening to a meadowlark sing and I saw ladybugs and a butterfly - I think those are signs of spring but it is hard to tell here! It is one of the first day I have gone outside without a hoodie. Yeah!! I hope it lasts. The only down side I see is I also saw my first spider!<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325713636485224530" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/Sei8VeYn2FI/AAAAAAAAASk/WrFr6hOG0b4/s320/imgnamedealing_with_ladybug_allergies50226711asian_ladybug.jpg" border="0" /></div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325732707176633074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SejNriPxUvI/AAAAAAAAASs/MCFkhZfQugY/s320/untitled.bmp" border="0" />Elder Tyler Williamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10169499560142751264noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4085450132462386469.post-46353648996691607872009-03-15T10:31:00.000-07:002009-04-06T10:46:59.086-07:00Weekend in Utah!My friend Shannon called me and told me she was on her way to Utah for her Grandma's funeral and asked if I could come to Utah and see them while they where there. YES! Was my answer. While there I stayed with my son Chris and his family. One of my goals while in Utah was to get my grandbabies pictures taken. I arrived on Thursday and us girls went shopping for Easter dresses! Then the next morning we meet at the Mall to get their pictures taken. The pictures included in this blog are actually the ones we had taken at Walmart. I'm glad I accomplished this goal - they are darling! What do you think?<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321634044505170306" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/Sdo9999bIYI/AAAAAAAAASE/Vbid1XQLu-E/s400/Emma.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/Sdo98zuRMEI/AAAAAAAAAR8/7PHFOKdanTA/s1600-h/Allie.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321634024577380418" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/Sdo98zuRMEI/AAAAAAAAAR8/7PHFOKdanTA/s400/Allie.jpg" border="0" /></a> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321634051572762498" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 324px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/Sdo9-YSeB4I/AAAAAAAAASM/T9Kcnwlhh-s/s400/Emma+%26+Allie.jpg" border="0" /><br /></div>Elder Tyler Williamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10169499560142751264noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4085450132462386469.post-27408759004232754722009-03-09T13:34:00.000-07:002009-03-10T10:08:17.155-07:00Happy Birthday Mom!<div align="left">This past weekend was my mother's 75th birthday. Both Trevor and Chris's families where able to come for that. We had planned a big birthday bash at my house. My parents had tickets to a scout dinner and we had asked them if they wanted to do that or come up for dinner. They decided to come for dinner. Well on Saturday morning my mom called and asked how far the plans where for that night (all done mom!). She had received a call that morning saying that my Dad was getting the Cub Scout Leader of the year award, and my brother had received a call saying my mom was getting an award also. Needless to say, we did not have a party at my house, most of us went to a Scout Dinner, which was very delicious and then afterwards we had dessert at my mom's home with those who couldn't make it to the dinner. </div><div align="center">Happy Birthday Mom!<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311604695154941378" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 202px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SbacVAIB3cI/AAAAAAAAARk/D4gr_eRcQ_s/s320/grandmas%27s+75th+bd+033.jpg" border="0" />The best part of the whole weekend was having my grandbabies here.

It is beautiful! All the trees, bushes and plants are covered in ice. Apparently it is called Hoar Frost. The first time I heard that name I had to check it out on the internet, it didn't sound as pretty as it looked! I thought they where pulling my leg. But Hoar Frost is when an object gets colder than the air around it and it forms ice crystals on it. These pictures show what it looks like. It is absolutely beautiful, it makes everything look amazing. This first picture is looking down my street. The rest are from around here except one I found on the internet which looked better than mine. It is the last one.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298064499178912818" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SYaBl3aqvDI/AAAAAAAAAQ0/j47ZOXzGUG8/s320/DSCN0686.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298064505006832322" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SYaBmNIJusI/AAAAAAAAAQ8/5gx7oHGeorc/s320/DSCN0688.jpg" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298064497035202418" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SYaBlvbkT3I/AAAAAAAAAQs/CzKEcnH1whs/s320/DSCN0689.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298062072964260994" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 202px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SYZ_YpEBJII/AAAAAAAAAQk/OhQdmhrqp4Y/s320/hoar+frost+1.jpg" border="0" />Elder Tyler Williamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10169499560142751264noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4085450132462386469.post-60574484553390274902009-01-14T21:29:00.000-08:002009-02-01T21:38:39.122-08:00Another year older!Well, whether I like it or not I've had another birthday. Not that birthdays have really mattered to me. I usually don't even know how old I am. I have to ask Michael - he is great about keeping track of that especially because he is 7 months younger than me! My friends in Idaho took me to lunch which was very nice. But the best surprise was cold hard cash, just kidding that was nice too, but the best part was Trevor & Miranda decided I needed to see my newest grandbaby for my birthday. It works out really well because Tyler's birthday is just after mine and they where here for his too!<br /><div><div>Allie (the newest granddaughter) was a lot of fun, she loves to talk, even in her sleep. It's like she talks herself to sleep and then forgets to stop. She sings along when her dad plays the piano it was a lot of fun to get to spend time with her. I have included a couple of pictures with her. Unfortunately, I am always taking the pictures so I am never in them. (Maybe that's not so unfortunate!) The first one is of Michael and Allie, she loves looking at people in the face. <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298069987654182402" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SYaGlVlJJgI/AAAAAAAAARE/34cNcYz-d9E/s400/DSCN0691.jpg" border="0" /></div></div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298069989639314834" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 297px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SYaGlc-b3ZI/AAAAAAAAARM/fpLn5IECsEk/s400/Allie.jpg" border="0" />Elder Tyler Williamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10169499560142751264noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4085450132462386469.post-36209221366467119432008-12-25T09:35:00.000-08:002009-02-01T10:09:56.121-08:00Christmas Tacos!<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SYXf1Wp5YfI/AAAAAAAAAP8/Ocw69mixMHI/s1600-h/Christmas+2008+095.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297886644378624498" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SYXf1Wp5YfI/AAAAAAAAAP8/Ocw69mixMHI/s320/Christmas+2008+095.jpg" border="0" /></a> When we lived in California we had a tradition of having Shannon and Pablo come for Christmas dinner, which was always Tacos and sometimes ribs. We decided that even without them we would keep up the Christmas taco tradition. But since we are living in Idaho we have to make a few adjustments. First it started snowing Christmas Eve, we woke up to about two more feet of snow. But nothing is going to stop us! So we had to shovel out the front walk so we could get in and out of the house. There's was so much snow in our driveway we had a three foot drift in front of the garage. But there is no stopping tacos. We pulled the grill out and cooked the meat. It was all worth the effort the Taco's where great! The neighbors even asked what that great smell was that came from our yard on Christmas day!

We really missed having them here with us. Christmas morning we woke up around 7 am to open gifts, maybe closer to 8 am. It's nice having older children who don't wake up as early! I had given Marissa a Tomagotchi (an electronic pet) and told the other children that I had extra, all of them wanted one except Tyler. It was pretty funny watching them all playing with their little pets. Danielle even told Jason that this was a test for being a father, if he couldn't keep his pet alive he probably wouldn't be a good father. Jason said, "You are kidding, right?"</div><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SYXctmaFszI/AAAAAAAAAPk/Rfa4qKb1SSA/s1600-h/Christmas+2008+062.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297883212633453362" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SYXctmaFszI/AAAAAAAAAPk/Rfa4qKb1SSA/s320/Christmas+2008+062.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SYXctMm4cmI/AAAAAAAAAPc/2qu3WEh6tfk/s1600-h/Christmas+2008+064.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297883205707788898" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SYXctMm4cmI/AAAAAAAAAPc/2qu3WEh6tfk/s320/Christmas+2008+064.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SYXctDAxUCI/AAAAAAAAAPU/hzR3ZFBHnAc/s1600-h/Tylers+gun.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297883203132018722" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 265px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SYXctDAxUCI/AAAAAAAAAPU/hzR3ZFBHnAc/s320/Tylers+gun.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SYXcs2Kor-I/AAAAAAAAAPM/Q1xbD8BPIRw/s1600-h/Marissa+Christmas+2008.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297883199683735522" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 254px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SYXcs2Kor-I/AAAAAAAAAPM/Q1xbD8BPIRw/s320/Marissa+Christmas+2008.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div>Elder Tyler Williamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10169499560142751264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4085450132462386469.post-67569757438888848382008-12-24T09:10:00.000-08:002009-02-01T09:18:15.695-08:00Christmas Eve with the Williams<div><div><div><div>This year for Christmas Eve Michael's family came to our home. We enjoyed a nice dinner, the children performed the nativity and then we opend gifts from the Williams side of the family. Michael was asked to narrate the Christmas story. We decided after watching the 1st Presidency Christmas special that our story needed Samuel the Lamanite. So Michael asked Jason, Danielle's husband, to be Samuel. He had no idea what he was getting into, but the children had a great time trying to knock him off the wall with their sling shots, by the way, Tyler is a great shot! We did have one sad moment in the story, the camel was missing, apparently he wanted to be the donkey and refused to perform!</div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297878891381304338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 206px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SYXYyEfSrBI/AAAAAAAAAOs/hfUiTP-iDmE/s320/Jason+on+the+Wall.jpg" border="0" /></div></div></div></div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297878911307415650" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SYXYzOuDAGI/AAAAAAAAAO8/D9L-Egkcsr0/s320/Christmas+2008+011.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297878900643114546" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 273px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SYXYym_erjI/AAAAAAAAAO0/mQwRR0yL9x4/s320/Family.jpg" border="0" />Danielle and Jason brought mustaches to make the kings more manly!<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297878914406270354" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 238px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SYXYzaQ3xZI/AAAAAAAAAPE/FWVO1-jtbJU/s320/Christmas+2008+030.jpg" border="0" />Elder Tyler Williamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10169499560142751264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4085450132462386469.post-83534778992726774722008-12-08T12:58:00.001-08:002008-12-08T13:12:54.620-08:00It's finally snowing!!!<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/ST2K_GGRVBI/AAAAAAAAANk/9KGwSztS260/s1600-h/snow.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277527154921395218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/ST2K_GGRVBI/AAAAAAAAANk/9KGwSztS260/s320/snow.jpg" border="0" /></a> Marissa and I have been wondering if we would get as much snow as we did last year. I don't know the answer to that but I am grateful I put up the last of my Christmas lights outside on Saturday. This is what we woke up to this morning. I figure if it's going to be cold outside we should at least have snow to play in!<br /><br />When I went out to shovel the snow off of our very large driveway ( you can put like 20 cars in it) I'm sure with all the snow and my little red shovel it appears even larger, it usually takes me 3 hours to do most of it. Anyway, Harley our dog just loves snow and was outside helping me this morning. But this year we have kittens who haven't seen snow before. These kittens have funny personalities...Dixie for instance is the whinier, she is always crying about something and she has the most pathetic meow. So this morning when she saw the snow she sat inside the garage and just looked confused and refused to come out except once and she ran under the car where there was no snow. On the other hand we have this cat named Ginger. Ginger thinks she is a dog, anyway that's who she hangs out with the most. At first she was very cautious, then she was attacking it, batting at it and running around and sliding in it. It was pretty funny. I just feel sorry for Marissa the first real snow day and she comes home from school sick.Elder Tyler Williamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10169499560142751264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4085450132462386469.post-58602971430645206682008-11-30T11:04:00.000-08:002008-12-08T13:45:23.545-08:00Being Thankful!<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/ST1zB2hNhqI/AAAAAAAAANU/HC2i9BdkiOY/s1600-h/Turkey.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277500813999965858" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 112px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 119px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/ST1zB2hNhqI/AAAAAAAAANU/HC2i9BdkiOY/s200/Turkey.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Thanksgiving for us this year was alot of fun! Trevor and Chris and their families came on Wednesday. On Thanksgiving Day Michael's family came around too and we had dinner and dessert with them. It was very nice to be able to spend time with them, we don't see them enough! Then Friday we went bowling with Michael's family, afterwards we all came home for a nap.<br /><br />On Saturday we had a baby shower for Allie our newest granddaughter. It was early in the day so I thought it would be easier but it meant I had to get a lot done before they all came. I was still cleaning up the messes from Thanksgiving and with another whole houseful coming there was plenty to do but it turned out great. We had lots of family come and Allie was showered with lots of love and gifts. Thanks Aunt Kendra for doing the games!<br /><br />Here's Allie on the blanket her Great Grandma Killian made her.<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277536698765393122" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/ST2Tqnr_vOI/AAAAAAAAAN8/V4nRHQxMpFM/s320/DSCN0549.jpg" border="0" /> That night Michael made his famous pizza. We vote it as the best pizza anywhere! But with it comes the pizza mess, flour everywhere! Sunday our family went to church except Chris who hadn't been feeling well. It was fun showing our new grandbabies to our friends here. It was sad to have them all leave later in the day, it got quiet really quick after they left.<br /><br />Just before Christopher and Rachel left Marissa went up to Emma to tell her goodbye and Emma started smiling, she smiled for about 5 minutes and was leaning really hard to get closer to her.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277535497589031762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 207px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/ST2Sks9PA1I/AAAAAAAAANs/ezsq8NFrFhs/s320/Emma+Smiling2.jpg" border="0" /> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/ST1znq2_ZxI/AAAAAAAAANc/tBBoVDo63cM/s1600-h/DSCN0574.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277501463705118482" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/ST1znq2_ZxI/AAAAAAAAANc/tBBoVDo63cM/s320/DSCN0574.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="left">I noticed how different it is to have babies in our home again.

I was there for 3 days and had a great time with Trevor and his new family. While there Miranda had her one week check-up and Allie was weighed she has gained 5 oz in one week. Allie is really funny, she likes to hum herself to sleep. She is always making noises. She was very alert and stayed awake quite awhile for a newborn. She is very tough and likes her hand by her face, I hear that's how she was born with her hand next to her check. Miranda has been wanting to post pictures on her blog of Allie but her camera has disappeared. We searched the whole house and couldn't find it anywhere. I hope they are able to find it, all of the birth pictures of Allie are on it. Oh, and if you have noticed that I changed the spelling of Allie's name. It is because after Trevor and Miranda decided on a spelling Trevor didn't love it so he changed it on the birth certificate. So Ali - is now Allie. I've included a few updated pictures of Allie and of course one of Emma who conviently lives close by.<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SR2Re1CkAwI/AAAAAAAAAMU/okqugopGFlM/s1600-h/Allie%27s+Family.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268527097913279234" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 319px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SR2Re1CkAwI/AAAAAAAAAMU/okqugopGFlM/s320/Allie%27s+Family.jpg" border="0" /></a><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268527314882416194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 210px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SR2RrdUCTkI/AAAAAAAAAMc/OW1jOy6I1rs/s320/Allie+sleeping.jpg" border="0" /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SR2R1a_hJgI/AAAAAAAAAMk/Y6vQ8k5Ac1Y/s1600-h/Allie+in+cherries.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268527486058178050" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 307px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SR2R1a_hJgI/AAAAAAAAAMk/Y6vQ8k5Ac1Y/s320/Allie+in+cherries.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SR2SAq4DswI/AAAAAAAAAMs/TjzDWyG6RkE/s1600-h/Allie+and+Grandma.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268527679300416258" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 174px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SR2SAq4DswI/AAAAAAAAAMs/TjzDWyG6RkE/s200/Allie+and+Grandma.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SR2SAq4DswI/AAAAAAAAAMs/TjzDWyG6RkE/s1600-h/Allie+and+Grandma.jpg"></a></div><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268527952694978850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 170px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SR2SQlWZqSI/AAAAAAAAAM0/DOijsaeHJLQ/s200/Emma+%26+Grandma.jpg" border="0" />Elder Tyler Williamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10169499560142751264noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4085450132462386469.post-16890134621912154582008-11-09T14:11:00.001-08:002008-11-09T15:26:07.774-08:00Visiting our newest Granddaughter!Saturday we made a day trip, a long day trip, but it was worth it.

Fielding Steinlarsen a friend of my boys got married in the Idaho Falls Temple so they both came for the weekend to be at the wedding. I let Danielle know that they were both going to be here and her husband Jason had Saturday through Monday off so they came too. This is the first time that Christopher and Rachel had met Jason, and Danielle and Jason's first time to meet Christopher's daughter Emma.<br /><br />I just am so grateful that we can all get together and have fun. Everyone found something to do and we were able to spend a weekend together. Michael and I were both sad when they all left. Of course today I am doing wash and cleaning house, but don't mind the clean-up it was worth having all the family together. The one thing I am sad about is we didn't get a picture of all of us together. Trevor's wife Miranda could have her baby anytime and we wanted to wait for her to get here before we take a family picture. So all my children need to send me their pictures from this weekend so I can post some!Elder Tyler Williamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10169499560142751264noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4085450132462386469.post-41275098233083675672008-10-10T22:01:00.000-07:002008-10-11T12:28:25.735-07:00I thought it was Autumn!<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SPAz6Ai3euI/AAAAAAAAAJs/Ctca1-3iE8w/s1600-h/1010080839.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5255757836813040354" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SPAz6Ai3euI/AAAAAAAAAJs/Ctca1-3iE8w/s400/1010080839.jpg" border="0" /></a>When I went for my morning walk today (wearing a jacket, mittens, and ear muffs) this is what I saw. Can you believe it? I thought it was Autumn but apparently winter can't wait. And when Michael and I left for our date tonight it was snowing. October 10th and it is already snowing and getting very cold. I love Autumn, the changing of the leaves is just amazing.....and I am not quite ready for winter. The cold weather brought back memories of growing up in Idaho. I remember most Halloweens getting really cute costumes and then putting winter coats over the top of them. So whenever you went to someone house they would invite you in, have you take off your coat so they could see your costume. No wonder we only went to about ten houses! Sometimes we would find those outfits that fit over our coats with plastic masks to match. I still remember breathing through them but we thought they where the best.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SPA3DX4hh7I/AAAAAAAAAJ0/fN102SyL3vc/s1600-h/hallowen+2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5255761296231598002" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SPA3DX4hh7I/AAAAAAAAAJ0/fN102SyL3vc/s400/hallowen+2.jpg" border="0" /></a>Well, I guess I won't be wearing this outfit this year!<br />I guess it could warm up for a few weeks....nah most likely not!<br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SPA6gkUY9aI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/KBw_4XVlOLM/s1600-h/snow.jpg"></a></div><br /><br /><div><br /></div><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SPA6gkUY9aI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/KBw_4XVlOLM/s1600-h/snow.jpg"></a></div><br />So maybe Michael and I could go<br />dressed as this!<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SPAza7Gr1sI/AAAAAAAAAJk/GgtprshNovo/s1600-h/1010080839.jpg"></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SPA7X796QEI/AAAAAAAAAKE/Fo505AEw3NE/s1600-h/snow.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5255766047561760834" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SPA7X796QEI/AAAAAAAAAKE/Fo505AEw3NE/s320/snow.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SPA6gkUY9aI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/KBw_4XVlOLM/s1600-h/snow.jpg"></a></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SPA6gkUY9aI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/KBw_4XVlOLM/s1600-h/snow.jpg"></a></div>Elder Tyler Williamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10169499560142751264noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4085450132462386469.post-47612754321600106562008-10-01T12:52:00.000-07:002008-10-02T14:08:05.964-07:00Things I miss most!<div>It is really beautiful outside today, the kind of day you grab the children and head for the beach.<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SOPd1QBghYI/AAAAAAAAAHs/GqrFqm_1jec/s1600-h/images%5B5%5D.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252285497348228482" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SOPd1QBghYI/AAAAAAAAAHs/GqrFqm_1jec/s200/images%5B5%5D.jpg" border="0" /></a> Which made me homesick for California, and all that we left behind. My friends, my hometown, Mia & Sophia (Shannon can you tell I need a new picture of the girls), strawberries, and the beach! Even though we knew we needed to move, this has been one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make. We lived in the same place in California for 17 years and it's impossible to replace the friends and associations we developed there. <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SOPdNCvmQ1I/AAAAAAAAAHc/DYVzYOoMk6I/s1600-h/California+Farewell+002.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252284806588678994" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f3D25ojxi-o/SOPdNCvmQ1I/AAAAAAAAAHc/DYVzYOoMk6I/s200/California+Farewell+002.jpg" border="0" /></a>Not that I could ever replace the friends, I just miss them so much!

It is Friday, and the weather looks great, I hope it last all weekend without wind. Danielle's husband had his birthday this week, Happy Birthday Jason. I sometimes can't believe that she is married, but she seems to be enjoying married life. Last weekend Christopher and Rachel came to visit. It was fun seeing them and little Emma. Emma got her first offical bath here. It was a lot of fun having a baby at our house. Of course, Rachel got up with her all night we just enjoyed the grandparents role. I did change a few diapers though!Elder Tyler Williamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10169499560142751264noreply@blogger.com1
