Williams - Boating/Camping

Last weekend we went camping and boating with some good friends. A couple of our friends drove from Idaho and California a met up with us to spend three wonderful days in the dust, sun, heat, and water. We loved every minute of it. I got to try out my brand new tent that Herb bought me for my birthday. It is the nice blue tent in the picture with Herbie hugging Brooklyn. Nora absolutely loves the tube and the boat and kept saying "wanna go, wanna go". She couldn't get enough and would cry if she wasn't on the tube.

Williams - Expecting Unexpectedly

Yes, it is true. Baby #4 is in the oven. March 16th is the magic number.

Cabin

The kids think lawn camping is camping camping! Wahoo! Hehehe... fooled 'em. Throw in some s'mores and a hot dog for authenticity and BAM! Camping!

My nanny (Rosario) doesn't typically work weekends but for this an exception was made. She came up Sunday morning to hit the ol' white church with us and then watched Ben while we went on a hike.

Janna and Mike were at a fancy wedding at a vineyard in Sonoma, CA. for the weekend so we were +1. Janna and Mike's life is like Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. Honestly, every weekend they are going somewhere spectacular. (Mike, Skywest) Not only was Tessa (from an old Bachelor) a bridesmaid in the wedding party but Janna also ran into Ben from the most recent Bachelorette. Janna looks here like she's on The Bachelor... Why do I love that show so much? Anyone else minimizing their morals by watching The Bachelor Pad now? It's THE greatest train wreck. I find it impossible to look away.


That's about it these days for me.

Heading to Newport and then Santa Barbara the end of this month. My Grandpa is having a 90th birthday celebration! Granted, he'll fade in and out of knowing who I am but I'm also looking forward to seeing the fam and extended fam.

I've taken the hint everyone is sick of hearing about goats and agrarian fortresses.

I'll try to acquire some new interests.

Like time travel.

Which reminds me... we saw Eric Barnum. We were setting up the tent on the lawn and we heard, "Hi." I didn't hear anyone drive up, either. And then to look up and see just about the most unexpected person in the world, well, I just love when that happens. I guess he was at the reservoir and saw someone was at the cabin and stopped to say hello.

But I do totally love when that happens. No sounds. No warning. It's like he just stepped quietly out from behind the veil or from another dimension or something. Once my brother-in-law Mike came in my downstairs sliding door and I didn't hear him. He came silently up the stairs only to trip on the last one. He caught his fall but it had this tear-out- of- the- fifth- dimension effect as he stumbled into my kitchen. Or a just- dumped- in- from- the- future effect.

One More Time

Click here please.

Makes me smile every time (It's just delightful!). I know I've posted it before.

I don't have my dream homestead with solar panels, well water, basement full of seeds and bullets and gold bullion and apparatuses for printing my own coin. For now, I'll just keep visualizing my milk goat surrounded in a golden glow, hopefully magnetizing it to myself.

BAAAAA...

I turned on the TV late last night to hear this. My stomach dropped identically to a real sudden fall of the physical body. I've been watching/waiting for this. Think I'm overreacting? We'll see...

Here we go, folks...

Buckle up!

Williams - Crazy Hair

We celebrated my friends Lisa, Julie, and Adrianna's birthdays with a Big Fat Greek Birthday Party. We were told to come with big hair so I went all out. You may also remember the pink necklace and pink vest from my goodbye party 10 years ago. Check out my big hair. My kids were cracking up.

Holy Moly!

My Aunt Kris saves a life! Read all about it.

Can't wait to hear more about it when we go visit my fam the end of this month.
