Current Events For The Williams'

2008-12-24T01:21:00.027-07:00

We have a family tradition that we have done for the past 4 years to go to the IMAX to watch "Polar Express" in 3D. If you have not seen it at the IMAX you need to, it is magical. It is the only movie that my kids will sit through in the movie theatre. We had a blast.

Our Adam's Family Party...

A four generation picture.

We tried to get pictures with grandma but the kids had other ideas.

We went with our friends Jason and Natalie to their family cabin. It was so fun we love it up there and Justin insists that we get a white Christmas every year. So it was nice to have the kids play in the snow. Syndel was so upset when we were coming home that she couldn't see the snow on the side of the road anymore. She wanted to go back.

Whats a snow trip with out a snow man. The kids had a blast making this.

We got caught in the midde of a big snow storm this is just after one night.

Natalie getting in touch with her inner child.

Presenting the young members of the Polar Bear Club.

AHHH!!! A warm bath after a long day of sledding

Look at those frozen cheeks.

This is Jason making some sweet jumps for all of the kids.

Nicholas loved sledding but he loved eating the snow to. I just had to make sure it was not yellow.

Here is my extreme sports chick!!! Syndel went up and down this hill like 50+ times. She was out in the snow for hours. She didn't even want to wear her hat because she said that she was to hot.

I tried going down with Nicholas but the sled kept turning and I couldn't control it. But we had fun.

Syndel loves giving thumbs up...

On our way home the weather was so bad we couldn't see vary far ahead. It snowed and then rained the whole way home.

We had Cyrus' baby blessing on Dec. 7th it was a wonderful day. We had all of the family there and Justin gave a wonderful blessing. After the blessing we had everyone over for a luncheon. We had a lot of fun with everyone and were so grateful for all of the help.
Proud Momma and Papa

Proud Grandparents...

No complaints here on the food!!!

Great Grandparents

Kenyon came over to see the baby and all Saylor wanted to do is hold Cyrus it was so cute she is such a good little mommy!!!

I was blessed with a little mommy as well. Syndel loves helping with the baby.

This kinda show what a crazy month we have had. Xander fell off the couch and sprained his ankle. We took him to the emergency room because we didn't know if it was broken and fortunately it was only a sprain.

Ok, so the kids were out side and I went out to check on them and Xander was just hanging upside down like this and he was having fun. I was cracking up he is always doing the craziest things.

Bath time with Cyrus

So we thought it would be fun to carve a pumpkin this year. Well the kids liked the idea at first but then they decided they just wanted me to do the whole thing. None of them would put their hand in the pumpkin but I made them do it once Syndel didn't freak out but Nicholas, Oh boy. Any way they liked drawing on the pumpkin because they didn't want to carve it either, so that was fun!!!

Nicholas crying because I made him put his hand in the pumpkin, he didn't like the way it felt so he freaked out

Syndeling crying because Nicholas kept drawing on her side of the pumpkin

Syndel's bat drawing

So since I ended up having the baby a week early we didn't have a chance to get my youngest his costume. I had plan on going shopping with my friend to get a costume for him since he was the only one that didn't have one but I went in to labor the day before. So Justin and I got creative and we dressed him up as "Thing One" and since we had a little boy I just put on the back of his shirt that "Thing Two was at home". I thought it was cute.

Cyrus Thayne Williams Is Here!!!

2008-10-28T10:49:00.000-07:00

So I had the baby a week early on 10/23 at 10:18 pm. We had a baby boy 8lbs. 13oz. 21.5 in. long. We named him Cyrus Thayne Williams. Everything went great and we are all doing fine. It was the craziest thing. I usually have quick labors but this one was lightning fast. I had been cleaning house all day so I can keep things up and about 8:30p I started having some minor contractions. My first thought was that I just did to much and that I needed to relax. But I kept getting them so I called Justin (who wasn't home, he was hanging out with a friend) and told him he might want to head home because I wasn't to sure. We called my mid-wife and just gave her a heads up and told her we would call her if it got more consistent. About 9:20p my contractions went from being really far apart to back to back contractions we called the mid-wife she came over and well the baby was born at 10:18p so it was crazy. I couldn't believe it and during the labor I kept second guessing what stage I was in because it was just going so fast that I couldn't believe it. But, we are so excited to welcome our new little boy into our family. My daughter Syndel was really looking forward to a girl and when she woke up the next morning and Justin brought her in to see the baby she was so sad that it was a boy. Justin had a talk with her and told her that Heavenly Father and Jesus thought she was so special that they thought she needed 3 brothers to take care of her. She got to hold him a lot and now she loves him to death but says she still wants a sister. We'll have to see about that :) Well here are some pics.

He was a biggy 8lbs. 13oz. I couldn't beleive it.

Syndel loves taking care of Cyrus.

Who says you need music to dance!!!

Grand Falls Grand Canyon Trip

2008-10-19T21:43:00.001-07:00

We decided to take a trip to Grand Falls near the Grand Canyon and on the way we saw a huge field of sun flowers and decided to stop for lunch the kids had so much fun picking flower and we went crazy taking pictures.

Nap Time!!!

2008-09-30T22:31:00.001-07:00

So you know when you are this pregnant you just get flat out tired. That was this day I was just resting on my bed and totally past out, it was in the middle of the day. Nicholas had not taken his nap yet and since I am comfy like a pillow he decided to take advantage of it and past out on me. I am a heavy sleeper so no worries. Justin really enjoyed taking these pics :) Thanks hun!!!

2008-09-21T22:18:00.000-07:00

After Church on Sunday we took the kids to the cemetery to decorate some family grave stone's. It is a great opportunity to teach our kids about our family there some that they just don't remember or that they have never met. We try to do it a couple times a year. Syndel really got in to it this time she really enjoyed learning about each person and helping Justin clean the grave stone's. And since it was Nicholas' nap time he enjoyed a snooze under the shade of one of the tree's. But it was a good family experience.

A Forever Project

2008-09-16T22:58:00.001-07:00

This is a 65 Mustang Coupe that Justin and I bought a couple of years into our dating. So we have had it for about 10 years. I used to drive it till I recked it :) and ever since then it has been in the "getting restored" stage. Does anyone know how hard it is to get a mechanic to actually work on your vehicle when you are paying them. It is finally back in our possession but still not finished but oh so close. Justin is really excited. Just a side note if you want to buy it just get a hold of me not Justin! J/K

Bubble Bath Mania

2008-09-13T22:06:00.001-07:00

The kids love taking bubble baths in our tub. Justin went a little crazy this time though. lol

2008-09-11T21:55:00.002-07:00

So for my birthday Justin took be out on a hot date. And then my mom got me a pedicure since I can barely reach my feet. I took Syndel with me so we could both enjoy getting pampered. My mom also took me to a murder mystery dinner. So a fun birthday all and all even though I turned 31 :( I haven't even got used to being 30 yet.)

Pheonix Science Center

2008-09-06T21:28:00.008-07:00

We went with Jason and Natalie Whiting to the Phoenix Science Center and we had a blast. I have not been there for at least 15 years and it is totally different and so much fun. We were there for a couple of hours just looking at everything. It was way cool.

School Concert/Book Sale

2008-08-27T21:05:00.002-07:00

Syndel and her class got to do a musical performance at the book sale. They practiced a couple of songs and then got to go up on stage and perform them. She loves getting up in front of people. Nicholas is the same way, when he saw Syndel up there he was dying to do it too. So after the performances Justin let him shake his thing up on stage for a bit. I have no idea where they got that. I have never liked being up on stage. But I don't discourage them.

My Crazy Kid

2008-08-26T14:53:00.007-07:00

Daddy Dates

2008-08-23T14:45:00.002-07:00

Justin decided to take the kids on individual dates to spend some one on one time with them. He took Syndel to the library. She loved looking at all of the books they were there for hours. And then she got to check some books out. She was so excited. After the library they went out for ice cream. Syndel had so much fun. After that he took Nicholas to Makutu's Island they were so tired when they got home especially Justin. It was a really fun day.

Syndel's Birthday Party

2008-08-18T14:02:00.001-07:00

We had a Birthday Party for Syndel at a park in Chandler call Chupurosa Park. It is a really fun park and is not very busy so I love taking the kids there. It has a splash pad with a park right next to it. The kids had a lot of fun.

Great Grandma and Grandpa Williams

Syndel wanted a castle cake and one of my friends gave me this idea. Justin acctually did most of the cake decorating. He is more of the cook in our house.

Syndel got so many toys. Thank you to everyone that came she had a blast!!!

This shows how much fun we had. They didn't want to go home in the end.

Syndel's Birthday Outing

2008-08-15T15:19:00.000-07:00

So for Syndel's birthday we picked her up from school as a family and took her to the movies. We went and saw 'Star Wars-Clone Wars" and then took her to get her ear's pierced she has been wanting this done since she was really little and we have always told her she had to wait till she was 5 years old. So that seemed so far off at the time but now it is here and so that is what we did. We told her it would hurt and she still wanted to get it done. It was a fun day.
Syndel is getting ready by being really silly with a toy destraction they had there.

The girl there was a little scary because she had piercings everywhere. But I figured she must be experienced in piercing then. lol! She is marking Syndel's ears with a marker. We were very picky and had her redo it a bunch of times. So this was the longest part of the whole thing.

This is them getting ready. So it hasn't hit her yet. They had one girl on each ear so they could do it at the same time. That way she wouldn't change her mind half way through. I was afraid that might happen.

OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Syndel did awesome but you could tell that she was really trying to smile through the pain. But she didn't cry. I was so proud of her because I was nervous.

The sucker made it all better!!!

Her grandparents were all there to watch her be so brave.

First Day of School!!!

2008-08-11T12:52:00.004-07:00

Syndel was so excited for her first day of school she could hardly stand it. She is in kindergarden now and I am excited for her to learn and make school friends. She loves it. Nicholas is in pre-school twice a week now it is crazy driving them both around but fun to have them have new experiences.

Xander thinks he is going to school too.

Ok, so I haven't updated my blog since March. We have been very busy and we just recently put out house up for sale, which if any of you mothers have ever done you know that it is impossible to keep your house clean when you have 3 young kids. So that is a daily routine for me to clean clean clean. But I have lots of updates I want to get on here so please bare with me. So there are going to be tons of updates and hopefully I can get it all caught up.

Happy Birthday Nicholas!!! Let's Go To Cali!!!

Fun In The Mud

2008-04-15T15:14:00.000-07:00

This is my mud eater. I have never had a child eat dirt before. He just seems to really like it and it grosses me out.

He thinks that he can come in the house...

He's sad because I won't let him come in. I had to carry him at arms length to the tub and wash him off.

Happy Birthday Justin!!! Surprise!!!

2008-04-05T14:52:00.000-07:00

So this was really fun. For Justin's b-day I decided to surprise him by having a guys night out in the "Game Truck", it is a toy trailer totally loaded with flat screen TV's on one side and comfy couches on the other. Justin had no idea. I didn't tell him anything but the day of the surprise he started figuring things out that someone was coming over because I was cleaning and making food. So he kept making jokes as though he had figured it all out. When it came time for the truck to show up I had his friends surprise him with it. He was so excited! It was a blast. Syndel got to join in the fun with the guys since she want to go to sleep.

Not Funny At The Time!!!

2008-04-02T13:50:00.000-07:00

So we were trying to get Nicholas and Xander to sleep in the same room so that Justin and I could have our room back. But the problem was that Nicholas would constantly be waking Xander up. And you know how frustrating it is to think your work is done for the night and start to relax just as one of your kids starts throwing really big toys into the crib on top of the sleeping baby and making him cry. It doesn't make you to happy. So this had happened a couple of nights in a row. So when it happened again this night, I took Nicholas out of his room and put him in the crib in my room to go to sleep. I turned off the light and me and Justin were in the family room for maybe an hour when I heard a noise in my room. I knew that wasn't good. I walked in and he had, well you can see from the pictures, we will just say he had fun pouring my entire container of baby powder all over my carpet and the baby toys mixing it with lotion, which made it a little harder to get out of the carpet. I took one look at the mess and shut the door and told Justin that Nicholas had a surprise for him. I can laugh about it now but when it is mid-night and you just want to go to sleep this is frustrating.

Xander's Last Crawl

2008-03-19T15:49:00.005-07:00

This is a short video of Xander crawling. He started to walk and I didn't have a lot of video of his unique crawl so I wanted to make sure that I got it on video. I have a video that is longer but it is to long to download. He is totally walking now so I am glad that I got this when I did.

Syndel's First Science Project

2008-03-19T15:38:00.004-07:00

Syndel was learning about volcano's in pre-school and they made these volcano's out of clay and put paper towel down the middle and then you put red food coloring and a lot of baking soda and pour vinegar on top and it fizzes like a volcano, it was pretty cool. We didn't put enough baking soda on ours so it didn't fizz as much

Tok needed to look pretty so she put a bunch of bows and necklaces on him. He is such a good sport!

She really was proud of this picture she cut it out and everything.

I got her a play vanity set and it had fake nails in it so I put them on for her.

New And Exciting News

2008-02-21T23:11:00.000-07:00

Justin and I just found out a few days ago that I am pregnant. We are so excited for the first time we do not agree what we are having. I think I am having a girl and he thinks we are having a boy. We might have to bet on it :) Well I know that my due date is in Nov. but that is all I know I will find out soon. Tons of fun!!!

Valentines Day

2008-02-14T23:41:00.006-07:00

Syndel is in pre-school and she had a valentine party today she had so much fun.

Marathon Training Updates!!!

2008-02-07T15:07:00.000-07:00

So I have been talking about wanting to do a marathon with Kenyon. I have committed to doing the October 2009 marathon in St. George, but I wanted to do some small ones so I am also doing a 4 mile in April 2008. In preparation for that I have started training. The most I ran a week ago was 4 minutes, which was a little intimidating since I was talking about running 4 miles in April I thought well at this rate I might still be trying to cross the finish line the next day. But I set a goal to improve today. Kenyon told me about a training program from Jeff Galloway that is a run/walk. You run for so much and then walk for so much. So I decided to try that and I set the treadmill for 20 minutes and warmed up for 5 minutes at a pass a little faster than usual. Then I ran for 2 minutes and walked for one. Which was more of a speed walk because I wanted to keep it more up pace. I was able to do that for 15 minutes, which came out to a mile and a half. It was not easy but I didn't feel like I was going to die. I was so excited when I finished and it really helped me to see that I can do this. So I will keep you updated. I am planning on doing a 5k before April to kinda get the feel for how the races go. I am excited!!!

OUCH!!! Self inflicted pain!!!

2008-02-04T21:51:00.000-07:00

OK. So some of you know that I have a tattoo on my toe. I got it when I was 18 (really dumb) I was just really rebellious at the time. So I got a rose with a little vine going down both sides of my toe so it looks like it raps around. For the longest time I have been wanting to get it removed but they do not let you get this procedure done while you are pregnant or breastfeeding and since that is all I have been doing for the last 4 years :/ it never got done. So I am not pregnant or breast feeding right now and so I thought it would be the time to do it. I went in to my first treatment. The treatment if you don't know is laser and not very fun. They do numb it with a really small needle. But I still felt it around the edges and it feels like you are getting hot oil dripped on your skin and if any of you have been cooking in front of a pan with oil in it and it jumps out at you, you know that it doesn't feel good. As you can tell by the picture is has already faded quite a bit and is very swollen. So all I have to say is that was one treatment and I have 9 more to go to, 6 weeks apart at $150 a pop. It only cost me $80 to get it but it is going to cost no less than $1,500.00 to get removed. So fun!!! I could thing of a million other things that I would rather pay that money to. If anyone has a child that is thinking of getting a tattoo send them to me and I will talk them out of it. I wish someone would have done that for me. This is a very great lesson to me. A very expensive price to pay; for some dumb decisions in the past. Mom you don't need to say "I told you so!"

In memory of Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley

2008-01-27T23:56:00.000-07:00

Today I had my family over for dinner and to celebrate Xander's b-day which is on Jan. 28th. We had a lot of fun and we had a ton of people at our house. As the night was rapping up, Mattie my nanny got a text from her good friend that her uncle had told her that Pres. Hinckley had passed away. At first it was like a dream and I had a hard time believing that it was true. We thought maybe there had been a mistake or misunderstanding. When it was confirmed there was a silence and sadness on everyone in the room. On thing that hit me with extreme emotion is to imagine the reunion of him and his wife. I still get chocked up about that. I am grateful for all he did his energy and everything he did for our faith while he served us and others around the world. It always amazed me of his schedule that he kept at his age. I have been watching BYU channel quite a bit and one person said that his goal was to keep going till the day he died and he achieved that. He never missed a meeting even though he was not feeling well these last few weeks until Thursday and then passed on Sunday. That is a testimony to me; through Heavenly Father and Jesus you can accomplish anything.

Happy 1st Birthday Xander

2008-01-25T00:55:00.000-07:00

Jackie, Terra and Me were all feeling about the same way a year ago... Very big and ready to pop!!!

I put this bite in his mouth and he just sat there for 10 minutes not sure what to do with it, it was the most hilarious thing I have every seen.

Now he's getting it...

Oh wait no it just ended on the ground. Kenyon saw how much fun he was having and joined in.

Saylor wasn't feeling good but she still takes beautiful pics with her momma!!!

"I've wanted one of these my whole life!!!"

Here is a pic of Nicholas, Syndel was having so much fun playing I never got a pic of her.

Family Pics

2008-01-24T01:32:00.000-07:00

So here is the Robinson families attempt at getting pictures. My kids were not so willing. Nicholas mostly. He cried most of the time and well Xander made other kids cry. He is so sweet but he has a hair fetish and loves to pull it really hard so he made my poor little niece cry :( But what was really sad is that instead of any of the adults stopping the pictures to get her hair out of his hands they were snapping pictures of it the whole time thinking it was funny. I couldn't see what was going on because I am sitting behind Nicholas holding him down. What a fun job, right. We laugh about it now and my kids will go down in family history for causing all of the trouble.

Picture of the Plaintiff hugging Syndel. "I was so carefree and unaware of the terrible assault and trauma that I was about to experience." (that is a direct quote)

Picture of the defendant. He looks convincingly Innocent...

Exhibit A proof of the assault...wait lets get a close up. Next slide

That is unmistakable. Definite proof... Case closed in favor of the plaintiff

It's just a hunch but I don't think he is happy. I am glad that grandma can smile while all of this is going on.

Me and my 4 sisters

Xander and Jackson

UPDATES UPDATES!!!

2008-01-23T00:05:00.000-07:00

I feel so bad that I haven't been putting updates on here as much as I would like I have so many goals that I am trying to reach right now and it has kept me very busy. I have lots of pictures that I want to get put on here but will have to do that tomorrow and I also just wanted to touch a bit on the diet that I was on.
I started my orange juice on Thursday and you have to do that for 2 days which I did and then on Saturday I got to eat fruit and salad. I did eat a chicken breast patty because I was hungry but over all it was great. I was able to eat for the first time on Sunday regular food and I am doing a diet kinda like south beach diet but I am just really trying to create a life style that is healthy for me. I knew that it would never work for me if it was to stricked or you had to do certain measurements or whatever. I am just eating healthy and I am not buying junk food to put in my home any longer because we don't need that. I am so excited because one thing that the cleanse did for me is give me my self control back I still crave things once in a while but it is no biggy and I will just eat something healthy. I have gained a little back from my cleanse which I expected but I am keeping some off to which for me I am happy about because before I was stuck at the weight I was so it was good for me. I am so excited for all that I know I can do. I will be posting more updates very very soon :)

Latest update...

2008-01-18T02:01:00.000-07:00

So I am done with the cleanse I just have a couple of days where I work back in to a schedule and then I will be good but I lost a total of 13 lbs. I was wanting more but it made a big difference for me. Now I am just going to be working on keeping it off. So all is well and we are having lots of fun at my house the last few weeks with colds and stomach flu and pink eye and then to top it off an ear infection. What else could you ask for :) I am just trying to help everyone feel better so I can keep on track as well. Just call me Dr. Kayla

OOOH CRAP!!!

So I was editing my blog and I accidently deleted my last entry with my updates, which makes me so sad because I do not have all of the comments on my blog now. But just a review that I have lost 10 lbs now and have a goal of 20 lbs so I am working at it and staying motivated it is hard at times. I have been getting so much support from all of my friends and I really do appriciate it. It means a lot to me. So I am just trucking along and I will keep you all updated on my progress.
I have been trying to go to the gym but it has been hard because everyone of my kids has had the stomach flu and one of them had pink eye. So it has been a lot of fun over here. But I am excited about getting them all better. Thanks for everything.

A new thing I am doing...

2008-01-06T14:53:00.001-07:00

Well as many of you know I have been talking about losing weight and I joined the gym to start exercising more. I was doing great (before the holidays) and am going to get back on schedule this week with the help of my partner Kenyon :) and I am excited to get moving. But I have kinda been at a stand still with my weight loss for a month and a half. So I heard about this new thing (new to me) that I am doing right now called the Master Cleanse or Lemon Diet. It is pretty brutal but I have been seeing lots of great results and have starting losing weight again. The main thing is that I feel like I just needed to give my body a kick to get back in to losing weight mode. So I am staying strong and have been 100% on this diet for 3 days now and have 7 left because it is a 10 day program to clean your body of toxins. I don't always enjoy it but it is worth the end result and I thing that comes with everything that is worth doing. But I have found ways to make it bearable. If you are wanting to read about the diet I have put a link below so that you can read up. Not everyone likes this program but after reading about it on several websites, I felt like I was a good candidate for it. So far I have lost about 5 lbs and I will let you know my progress as I go along. And I am determined to finish. On one of the links it said that most people don't make it past the first day and when I read that it just motivated me more that I could do it. The first day was the hardest but the more you push through the easier it gets.

Happy New Years~More updates below

2008-01-01T22:09:00.001-07:00

For New Year's Eve we went over to our friends house and the kids just played like crazy, while the adults played a mean game of Mrs. PacMan. It was brutal!!! In the end Justin killed us all I don't know he knew how to play that game so good. Well we did that till 10pm then took the kids home. So it was fun for all of us.
New Year's day I finished putting away all of my Christmas decorations (I am so proud of myself) and then we went to the Rockin R Ranch to have a BBQ with our friends.
It was sooo cute watching Rustin sing Silent Night in front of everyone. Nicholas was his back up singer.

Syndel Loves getting attention...

Syndel is so funny her and Jaxson were bring in the New Year just grooven. They were outside just dancing like crazy. It was sooo funny!!!

Merry Christmas...I have lots of updates

2007-12-25T22:47:00.000-07:00

Christmas Morning
So it was awesome because my kids didn't even wake up till 9am WOOHOO!!! We got to sleep in for Christmas. We had a blast the kids had fun opening presents, who doesn't!!!

Syndel has been wanting a princess bed for every so we got her all new princess stuff for her room.

We got Syndel a bike last year for Christmas and this year we thought well lets get Nicholas one he will love it... Well he didn't love it. He liked opening it and likes looking at it but as soon as you put him on it the water works start up. It is crazy so we just keep trying to put him on it to see if he will get over it.

Christmas EVE...

Santa at my parents house.

This is some pics of Durango, Colorado. This is one of our favorite places in the world we use to live near there when we first got married and we loved it. The first picture is our first house when we got married.

These pics are from Mesa Verde in Colorado. There are several ancient cliff dwellings in this mountain that is now a national park. It is so awesome to go see all of the different area's and the view is to die for.

Silverton is a beautiful little town tucked away in the mountains. It is a very high elevation and very cold. It's seasonal because of the amount of snow they get it is best to go there in the summer. In the summer the train takes you from Durango, CO. to Silverton. It is breath taking.

Ouray, Colorado is know as Switzerland of America. It is so beautiful with mountains all over. The only way you can get in is on a highway that is called the million dollar highway it was build a long time ago and is just switch backs through these really high mountains with no guard rails. I am always a little nervous especially with the icy roads. But Justin and I really want a cabin here because it is so gorgeous. There is also alot of natural hot springs there so when we went it was about 15 degree's but there were people swimming in the hot springs pool. Way Cool!!!

Telluride, Colorado is known for the ski season. It is very spendy. Everyone there is walking around in fur coats and huge diamond jewelry. I LOVE IT!!! There's a lift that takes you up the mountain and over to the other side where there is another town. It is really cool. We went in the restaurant once at the top of the mountain and when we saw that the menu didn't have any prices on it we decided we should probably go ;)

Temple Lights :)

2007-12-20T00:48:00.001-07:00

This is the highlight of the year we are so excited to see the Temple lights. This is Xander's first Christmas and I love firsts. He just gets so involved in what is going on and you can tell that the wheels are turning. Syndel and Nicholas are just a crack up. They were just wanting to look at everything at one time. It was really cute though there were some young women there from the church just handing out random gifts and Syndel just happen to get one. And that was so cool because Syndel was so excited. It was candy and thank goodness we had enough for all of the kids. But I told Justin next year when we come I want Syndel and Nicholas to hand out a few gifts to the other kids there. I thought it was awesome!!!

Team Christmas Party

2007-12-20T00:35:00.000-07:00

Our team Christmas party was such a blast of course there was food. We have the typical Christmas food like lasagna, spinach dip and chips etc... But we did have pumpkin cheese cake pie and apple cheese cake pie. Everything a women needs to help her along on her diet. It was fun seeing everyone and we had awesome team host Jason & Natalie Whiting who arranged lots of games. We played the white elephant with was awesome but we also played one that I have never done and it was blind folded drawing contest to see who could draw the best blind folded. So lots of fun and laughs. Thanks for coming everyone!!! Merry Christmas

I Love These Kids!!!!

2007-12-20T00:27:00.001-07:00

These are just some cute pictures I took of the kids. Xander is loving feeding himself and he loves adult food. It has been really fun to watch him change so much.

I just think that a plummer crack is so cute on kids. Adults not so much:)

We are going to the snow for Christmas and so I got some snow clothes for Syndel, can you tell she is excited to wear them. After I bought them she wouldn't take them off for 3 days. I finally had to hide them.

Family Pictures

2007-12-18T14:16:00.000-07:00

So we don't have family pictures till 12/29 so I had Syndel draw a picture of our family. She loves to draw. So Here is our temporary family picture till we get ours done. I am sure that you will recognize everyone, she did an awesome job depicting each person and it also shows a bid of their personality. Xander is crawling around like crazy. I just wanted to make sure everyone got to see our family as its growing. Merry Christmas to everyone and hope that you have a wonderful New Year.

Way Cool Stuff

Syndel is so funny

2007-12-13T14:27:00.000-07:00

Syndel doesn't usually take naps but today she was acting up so I put her in her room for nap/quiet time so I didn't go crazy. So later when Justin got home she was talking to him and said that I was mad at her and put her in her room. Justin told her that she needed to go up to me and say, "Momma I love you and lets be friends". So Syndel comes up to me and says, "Momma you need to love me and be nice to me." Somehow that got lost in translation. Justin and I were cracking up!!!

Working Out part II, Dreams Can Come TRUE!!!

2007-12-04T00:03:00.000-07:00

Just wanted to keep everyone up to date on my workout progress. I've really been working hard, had a bit of a slow start but I think I'm on pace to hit my goals. I still have a long way to go but I know with all of your support I can drop those last but tuff 50 pounds. Its so nice to have dropped those bothersome bosoms! Now I can enjoy my new curves! Hope you enjoy the pic!!! ;)

Thanksgiving!!!

2007-11-29T11:13:00.000-07:00

I just got a lashing from Kenyon for not updating in a while :) Just kidding. But I am really needing to get some updates on here.
Thanksgiving was great we were cooking all day on Wed. until 2am so it was a busy day. We had "Turducken" not sure if that is how you spell it but it was great. We did it last year too and what you do is take a turkey, duck and chicken and cut all of the meat off of the ribs basically and then you put the chicken on the duck and the duck on the turkey so they are all on top of each other with spices and stuffing. Then you sew it all together so it looks like a turkey again and cook it for like 11 hours. It is a lot of prep work. But it is delish. It was just funny because we spent all of that time cooking and it was over is a couple of hours. But we had fun playing games and stuffing ourselves. So I am back at the gym this week trying to work all of that off :) I love this time of year!!!

Working Out!!!

2007-11-10T09:28:00.000-07:00

So Justin & I joined the gym. I went from never working out (other than chasing around 3 kids which for some reason isn't enough) to working out everyday Monday-Friday. I am so motivated right now. It is crazy too because I am not a morning person but I have even been waking up at 5 & 6am just so I can go with my work out partner who keeps me committed. I am just invisioning myself skinny. I have one more kid to go and I want to get in shape before I get pregnant again so I can bounce back a little faster next time. I have successfully gained 10 lbs. with each child and for me that is just crazy. So here's my before picture ; ) AND Coming Soon to a blog near you a SKINNY Justin & Kayla Williams.

Christmas Count Down

2007-11-03T23:47:00.000-07:00

I can not believe how fast this year is going by. But I say that every year. Yikes!!! Christmas is the best and Justin has been dying to see some snow this year so we will be heading up north for cooler weather. I love the snow!!! Can't wait for Christmas to be here but house rules are that we can't have anything christmas till the day after Thanksgiving so HURRY!!! :)

Halloween Costumes 2007

2007-10-30T14:05:00.000-07:00

We have already been to 2 costume parties and then tomarrow night for Halloween trick or treating. We have definately got plenty of use out of these costumes this year. Since we have always gone on trips during Halloween this is the first time our kids will officially go trick or treating door to door so we will see how long they last :) I am excited although we already have to much candy :0

Pumpkin Patch 10/24/07

2007-10-24T19:30:00.000-07:00

Today we went to the Pumpkin Patch it was so fun, a little hotter than we expected but we still had fun. Syndel has only been able to talk about 2 things, going to the pumpkin patch and Rustin Robson's b-day party she can't wait. This has been so much fun having a blog. I remember to take pictures of all our adventures more often.

A must read!!!!

2007-10-22T13:31:00.001-07:00

This book is awesome, it is currently in the top 14 Wallstreet Journal best sellers and it hasn't even hit the shelves yet. Time Warner just bought it and will be releasing it soon but the authors of the book are donating all of the profits from the book to charity. They are some of the people we had the pleasure of learning from in Kentucky and they know a lot about leadership, how to develope yourselves and how to be successful. If you want more information about the author Orrin Woodward and Chris Brady click on my link to the right that says TEAM website. If you want a copy let me know I can get it for you.

Justin Tooo Cute!!! Xander loves giving kisses

2007-10-22T13:25:00.000-07:00

Xander is getting so big!!! His getting his 2 top teeth right now and not liking that but he is so cute. He is just chasing Syndel and Nicholas around everywhere he can't wait to run!!!

Yeah we are home!!!

2007-10-22T13:01:00.000-07:00

We are so excited to see our kids and we bought them all t-shirts while we were gone. We picked them up at my parents house and came home and we all took napps since we were all tired. Justin and I didn't sleep at all on Saturday night because we stayed up late and had the first flight out on Sunday morning so we could get home. But it was an awesome weekend.

The first time we left the kids at home :(

2007-10-22T12:57:00.000-07:00

We left the kids for 3 days for the first time ever!!!! and it was not easy. Justin and I were kinda depressed the first day because we have never been anywhere with out them. But luckily we had a really awesome nanny to take care of them combined with my parents who helped a lot!!! I am so greatful for all of them because they made it so much easier. The kids had a blast. I will post pictures but they are on Justin's phone and the nannies camera.

Kentucky Trip :)

2007-10-22T12:54:00.000-07:00

We went to Kentucky with a ton of our closest friends. While we were there we went to some leadership seminars and learned a TON!!! For all of you who were there my favorites were the sheep dog and the mountain climber stories. I love those so much and it explains so well all of those people who are out there making things happen in their lives.
We ate a lot while we were there I think I gained 10 pounds, I kept telling Justin that we are not on a cruise we don't have to eat every hour. We loved being there and staying up late every night :) We had a Hyundai SUV for a rental car, Justin kept trying to do tricks in it and racing all of our friends in there cars. It was funny.

TORNADO WARNING!!!

2007-10-22T11:51:00.001-07:00

We went to Louisville, KY. this last weekend. We flu in on Thursday, we knew that there would be some stormy weather when we got there but didn't realize what we were in for. When we got to our hotel there were weird sirens. Justin and I didn't know what it was but when ask were told that was a tornado warning. It was a mixture of being a little scared and excited (because we had never seen one before). They told us that if it did touch down to go in our bathroom and don't come out. Well that was no fun I didn't want to say the only thing I saw in Kentucky was our bathroom. But luckily nothing happened after a little while the sirens stopped and we got some really really heavy rain but that was all. But it was really exciting. I don't think I would have been one of those people that follow the tornado's with their video camera but it would have been cool to see it from really really far away. :) P.S. this is just a picture I found on the web.

My Goofy Kids!!!

2007-10-22T11:40:00.001-07:00

Syndel and Nicholas are always acting crazy with each other. And it gets even crazier when a camera is involved. I am so glad that they are great friends.

Syndel's Birthday Party 8/18 2005, 2006 & 2007

2007-10-21T22:07:00.000-07:00

Syndel's 4th Birthday Party 2007 (Splash Park)
This party was pretty crazy but in the end we had fun and lots of laughs. I had it all planned to go to Tempe Town Lakes Splash Park. Well we had a crazy time getting ready for the party, you never are as prepared as you think. I kept forgetting things and had to call Justin's mom like 3 times to get stuff for me. When we got to Tempe we were parking and hit the curb and tore the side wall in our tire. So I'm thinking in my mind, it's ok we are going to have fun. So we started unloading the car and while we were walking up to the splash park we noticed that there was no water. Hmmm. I read the note and it said that it closed that morning because of health hazzards. So we were calling around to see where another park was and luckally there was one just a couple of streets down. The down fall was that they closed in 45 mins. So hurry and get wet kids because it is HOT!!! Well it turned out O.K. there was a park right next to the splash area so they had fun anyway. We got to share our pizza and cake with all of the neighborhood kids which was fun :) I tried not to be to stressed about details but the important thing was that the kids had a blast.

These Posts are really out of order but I am doing my best.
Nicholas' birthday was so fun. We went to Tempe Town Lakes Splash Park it was a blast. The kids had so much fun it was really hard to leave. It was also a blessing because even though it was in June it was a beautiful day out which was awesome!!! I have 2 summer birthdays and it is so hard to decide what to do since you are kinda limited.

Easter 2007

2007-10-11T13:44:00.001-07:00

For Easter we decided to plan a last minute trip to Payson, Az. We had so much fun and the kids had a blast. The day we got there they were having a community Easter Fest and we went and played games and ate food. We had gone and got some bubble makers and kites. The kids had so much fun and Justin kept getting the kites up so high the wind was pulling you it was crazy.

Syndel is growing up!!!

2007-10-11T11:54:00.000-07:00

As you all know Syndel has really really curly hair and I love. One day I straightened it just to see what it looked like and she loved it, it is so much longer!!! She kept moving her head back and forth because she liked how it felt on her back. It was so funny!

Slow down!!!

2007-09-27T23:17:00.000-07:00

He has been crawling for a month and now he is pulling himself up on things. He is only 8 months old for heaven sakes! I try to suppress these desires so they stay put a little longer:( I think he has other plans.

2007-09-21T19:52:00.000-07:00

As for all of you who voted for Justin & I to have 4 more children, thanks a lot. I think it is a conspiracy. And the only reason why there are 3 votes for "1 more" is because I voted 2 times to tilt the polls :( and I still didn't win. Atleast one person had pitty on me. I am still sold on one more :)

1 more 3 (42%)

2 more 0 (0%)

3 more 0 (0%)

4 more (PLEASE NO) 4 (57%)

Our Music Selection

2007-09-15T18:25:00.001-07:00

It's funny but the music I picked for my blog is so much apart of mine and Justin's journey. Elton John's "Your Song" is our song :) it only took us 11 years to find a song that explained how we felt about each other. The Song "Please Mr. Post Man" goes way back. As kids we had an 8track in our family room and we had that song on 8track (I think it was one of the last ones that we had left since you couldn't buy them anymore, I'm not that old :o ) me and my sister Collette would sing and dance to that song, we just loved that song and had so much fun with it. Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole we played at our wedding. The story behind that is that while we were dating we bought a 65 mustang coupe that only had an AM radio so we found some classical stations and would always listen to them when we went out together and just fell in love with the music. I have always liked older music anyway. But hearing it brings back memories. Some of the other songs are ones that just remind us of our journey now. I enjoy listening to music, just like certain smells from times past it brings you back to that moment.

2007-09-13T11:59:00.000-07:00

We were married for 3 1/2 years before we started having children. It took us a while to get started but we love being parents! Every day is a new adventure!

Justin & I have been quite busy! Raising 3 kids 4 yrs and under keeps us busy as well as running 2 businesses. Justin will be retiring from his paint business before the end of the year, so we are really excited to have him home more during the day. He is in the process of training the new owner and will turn it over to him soon.

Our Family Cruise 2005

Colorado Trip Christmas 2004
Just found some old pictures... this is our favorite place in the world! Ouray is a winter paradise, its called the "Switzerland" of the U.S.A. We haven't been in a couple of years and what to go back so badly. When we first got married we lived near Durango Colorado and practacly were there all of the time.
