To Nicole:

Not like you are going to have time to check a blog... it makes me laugh that I'm even posting this for you. I hope you are doing well postpartum. I caught Anika's cold and didn't want to give it to you this week. Plus, I know how I didn't want too many visitors so soon. I'm going to California for a week tomorrow but when I get back, could I come see you and cute Annie? No pressure, take your time. If you don't want visitors for a while longer, I'm cool. She is so adorable. Have a good week, y'all.

Williams - More Reunion Pics

Don't judge my form. I obviously need to work on that a bit. Herb is constantly telling me to lean forward. As long as I look hot while shooting, it doesn't matter right? At least, Ashley thinks so.

Herbie is a character. A personality all his own. We sure love this guy!

Chillin' on the beach!

Random Funny

I haven't been able to stop laughing about this but maybe that's just because I had the pleasure of actually seeing the look on the poor man's face.

Brandon and I were at Tuacahn last night with his family and you know how those women's restroom lines can be during intermission, right? So we went in to the high school for restrooms and the women's still had a long line. But wait, what's this I see? No line at the men's. So I go in and smile casually, politely at the man washing his hands as I help myself to the one and only stall. I hear him go out and another man come in who is now waiting for my stall. I came out and gave the poor old man a heart attack. He gasped, "OH! I'm in the women's!" I laughed and patted him on the shoulder and said, "NO! I'm in the men's!"

I remember being at a gas station with my Grandma (Nonna) on a road trip. The women's restroom was occupied so she helped herself to the men's. I was only twelve or so and totally horrified and embarrassed. Nonna! How could you?! But now I do it all the time. You really do grow up to be your Mother and your Mother's Mother.

Sad Story

Okay, do we all see the piece of material that is the front of my bathing suit bottoms? This afternoon that piece got cut off the suit with my sewing scissors. Yes, I found that old suit in my bottom drawer, which I affectionately refer to as the Drawer of Dreams. There you will find more than one too-small suit, lingerie, etc.

But why did I chop it? Even last year at the beach, I kept coming out of my newly-purchased tankini. I ran up to my nephew after we took a tumble in a huge wave and he was wincing and pointing at my top... I had come out... completely. Poor kid. So I knew the tankini would not work this year, especially considering my boobs (and butt) have doubled in size since, thanks to pregnancy and a constant intake of gatorade.

So I took the old string bikini bottoms and proceeded trying to alter my tankini. I put it on inside-out and started pinning the material while wearing it. Ouch, I may have damaged a milk duct. But all in vain. It just wouldn't work, looked even more terrible. It was pretty funny, though. I was certainly getting a kick out of using material that once covered my entire butt to now try and contain my fatty breasts, adding it like patchwork.

What to do now?
We leave for the beach house on Saturday.

I really, honestly want the burqini.
Even then, might have to splurge for the modest-fit PLUS.

I know you think I'm kidding but I'm not.

You know what else would feel great?
Being on a fourteen-day honeymoon on St. Thomas with no kids.
Also. Making out twenty pounds ago.
It's so much better when I'm lighter on (off) my feet.

Baby Girl!

I got a text today of a photo of a beautiful baby girl... haven't talked to Nicole, obviously, so don't know the details... 6lb. 13 oz. I am so excited for you Nicole. Just wanted to pass on the info to you, Ci and Jen, in case you had not heard. Aaaack!!! I can't believe it's a girl. That makes me so happy!!! Little girls make my heart melt. I can't wait to see her in person. I'm assuming they went with Annie??? I think that was the plan if it was a girl but have no clue what they settled on???

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALANA WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!

If you aren't reading this blog yet, you should start.

It always gives me a good laugh.

Get your dramatic irony here.

View From Here

Here is a picture of the flag my Dad had flying at his last place in Telluride. Now it flies at my house and I can't help but laugh at the change of scenery. What will it be... 10,000 feet up in the mountains, breathing cool, crisp air? Or in the ghetto of the high desert off Interstate 15 somewhere? I think of my Dad every day I put it out. It is over 110 degrees today and I sure could use some Telluride. And that view!

Some things

So a couple of things:

First- I'm huge.

Second- Q thinks that men should have a say when it comes to interior decorating.

Third- Where can I get good chicken fried chicken in St. George?

Having a kid in the next few days. We are freaking out. Panic Panic Panic! What were we thinking? Scary anxiety and cold sweats. Over and over again we keep saying thank heavens we waited this long. YIKES!

Williams Reunion

Prineville Reservoir. We spent the week boating, camping, and shooting with Herb's family. Herb and I were in charge of the first Williams Family Reunion. Our reunion theme was "I'm on a Boat" which is from this song this is the edited version. We don't have to plan another one for 16 more years, this is when having lots of siblings comes in handy.

I finally got to wakeboard. I couldn't last summer since I was pregnant. So more pictures will be coming of me doing some sweet jumps:) More like letting go of the rope and plugging my nose because I am scared to crash!
