The "Punkin Peeatch" . . . .

Oh my goodness . . . did you know that if you put a two year-old and a pumpkin patch together you are going to have a ridiculous amount of fun?!?!?!? Well, we didn't  . . . . until we decided to head to Bill's Berry Farm last Saturday! We loaded the munchkins in the car (and brought 'Meme' too!) and drove the 35 minutes to this super fun pumpkin festival! Here is some of the fun . . . 

 Hayride to the pumpkin patch . . . . which Abigail enthusiastically calls the "punkin peeatch"

 Abigail couldn't believe ALL the "punkins"!!!!

 So . . . I told her she needed to pick one to take home with us . . . 

naturally . . . she couldn't pick just one

 Because she is quite meticulous she thought that if she gathered all "her" pumpkins in an organized group then Mom and Dad would let her bring them home . . . so she continued gathering . . .

 She couldn't believe how many pumpkins were all "hers" . . . (neither could we . . .)

....While Abigail was busy gathering "her" pumpkins, Henry (our little "soul-man") took a break and chilled on a nearby pumpkin

...at this point other kids were starting to see that this girl was going to take all of the pumpkins, so other they started creating there own piles of pumpkins . . .  

finally . . . one she couldn't pick up!!! :)

In order to save all the pumpkins from being taken by our daughter we sent her on a new mission . . . to pick out a perfect pumpkin for Henry . . .  

 Henry was super excited to have a little assistance in finding the perfect pumpkin and between the two of them we found it!!! yay! Henry's very 1st pumpkin!

Thank goodness we have an exceptionally well mannered little girl because she was willing to only bring home ONE of her 22 gathered pumpkins!

Next, we went into the apple orchard!!!!!!!

 Abigail quickly discovered that there were apples (and leaves) that were all over the ground . . .

 . . . after a quick assessment . . . 

Abigail decided that these apples were "sad apples" and needed to be "fixed" . . .

 ...so she ran up and down the rows grabbing as many apples as she could and carefully placed them back "into" the tree . . . (or at least on top of the lowest branch)

...we have such a caring and thoughtful child....

 Abigail asked Daddyo (yes, Abigail calls Jake "Daddyo") for some help because there were A LOT of apples and leaves to "fix" . . . 

 ...and since Jake is the BEST DAD ON THE PLANET, he agreed to help "fix" those "sad apples"

Oh, I love my precious little girl!!! What a cutie pie!!!

(haha) . . . My Mom (aka Meme) found the most perfect apple in the entire orchard and ate it!! She decided it was the best apple she ever tasted . . . I actually agree . . . that apple was pretty AMAZING!

So, that ends our fun at Bill's Berry Farm (sorry, I didn't post any pictures of the "fruit fling", making fresh apple cider, the amazing homemade pumpkin donuts, the corn maze, and a few other fun things because nap time is coming to end and I must hurry if I am going to post this!! . . .)

After looking over all the pictures I realized that there is a serious shortage of Henry!!! Probably because I was taking a majority of the pics and Henry was  wrapped up in his Moby with me . . .

So, here is our sweet little man....

3 months old ALREADY!!

I love this tradition . . . Jake reads to the kids every night before they go to bed. . . just looking at the pictures makes me smile!! I love my family!!!

Alright . . . until next time!! (which hopefully I wont procrastinate too long to post another update!!) Love to you all!!!

Time is flying!!!!

So.... Last weekend Jake and I took the kiddos to get their pictures taken! What an adventure! Henry did great . . . meaning he slept the entire time! His pictures turned out great! 

Abigail was a bit of a different story . . . she was petrified of the photographer (not that I blame her . . . )!! Only after about 30 minutes, and a lot of coaxing from her desperate parents, did Abigail start warming up to our "fabulous" photographer! . . . so we only got a few presentable pictures of our little girl. . . bummer! :(

Here are the fruits of our labor! Enjoy!

Look at THOSE LIPS!!! 

(a fabulous attribute that both our kiddos have!! yay!!)

Our Beautiful Kids!!

Abigail LOVES Henry and is soooo sweet to him!!

This is my favorite of our beautiful little princess!

This is Abigail trying to figure out the photographer, whom I'm convinced had NEVER photographed a 2 year-old! 

Sitting still is not one of Abigail's  strongest talents :)

Now . . . THIS IS OUR GIRL!!! 

HAPPY AND JUMPING AROUND!!!

We can't believe how quickly our little babes are growing!!

. . . and there were 4!!!!!

Hello All!! (if anyone is still reading this!!) Long time no post!

We just wanted to let everyone know that we now have a handsome little boy in our home!!!! Henry Jacob Williams came into this world on Friday, July 1st, 2011 at 7:54am, weighing in at 8 lbs, 1 oz, and measuring 20 3/4" long.

He is such a wonderful baby and doesn't get a break from all of the love that is constantly given to him. Abigail absolutely adores him!!! She is so sweet with him and he is so enthralled with her! We love to watch our two beautiful and healthy children interact! It is so amazing to watch! We are so blessed!

Here are a couple of quick pictures of Henry when he was a week old! I'll post more later!! Enjoy!

Hi! Remember Me?

Well, there seems to be a running theme in all my posts . . . something to do with procrastination. Procrastination and blogging seem to have become one in the same in my life. Here is yet again another attempt to rid me of my bad habit of neglecting our blog.

Just in case any of you were wondering . . . we are alive and well!!! We have had a crazy fun summer and her is brief picture synopsis of the fun in the sun. Enjoy!

4th of July!!! Abigail was just barely walking . . . more of a drunkin' sailor look! We had a great time with Grammie and Grandpa Jim! We had a BBQ (with Jake's NEW BBQ that he got for Father's Day)! After we put Abigail to bed we watched a fabulous fireworks show that was put on by our neighbors!!



Next, off to Utah!! Williams Family Reunion!!!! It was soo great visiting with cousies! There was an out-of-control water slide and a monster blow up obstacle course!
We also got to meet our sweet new little nephew! Luke Tyler Williams! Unfortunately, Luke wasn't feeling super well so we only got to visit with him at Primary Children's Medical Center. We still had a great visiting with Ty and Elisabeth and loving our little nephew!
While we were there we took Abigail up Millcreek Canyon and she experienced her FIRST CAMP FIRE!!! She absolutely LOVED IT!!! We had such a great time!!



















After we got home from Utah, we got to go camping!!! We joined the Dabb Family, the Meyer Family, and the Pratt Family on a super fun outdoor adventure!!! All I can say is . . . have you ever been camping with 6 children under the age of 3?







We went on this awesome hike and honestly it looked like it belonged in a Twilight book!!! (well I guess that makes sense, as Forks, WA was only a couple of hours away from our campsite) . . . I kept thinking a vampire was going to step out from behind a tree at any moment!



Abigail is just like Daddy, she loves to rock climb!!!!









Abigail's first camping adventure was a success and hopefully we'll be able to go again soon! Thanks guys for such a great time . . . and soo sorry our daughter kept your children up all night!! yikes! (next time Abigail and I will sleep in the car!!) haha!

OK well . . . at least I got you caught up to July!!!! More to come!!! Love to all!!

Island Princess!!!!

OK . . . because I'm slacker I am (yet again) WAYY behind on our blog!!! Soo here's the Abigail's-taking-a-nap-I-don't-want-to-procrastinate-anymore blog!

WE WENT TO MAUI!!!! My wonderful hubby, my sweet little daughter, my too-much-fun mom, and myself all got to spend a whole week in paradise!!! We had the greatest vacation EVER! Abigail was a gem! She absolutely LOVED the water (the pool and the ocean)! We spent pretty much every day hanging out at the pool/beach just lovin' life! Here are a few snippits of fun:
















I have the cutest family in the world!!! WAYY TOO MUCH FUN!!!! We can't wait for our next vacation!!!!
