BRINLEY WILLIAMS
made her apperance on
March 31, 2011
9:48am
7lbs. 9oz.
20 in

Wonderful blessing from Heaven!
Proud parents
Perfect, beautiful baby.
She looks a lot like MyKelle.
Katie and Darin chose not to find out the baby's gender.
I was sure it was a boy...SURE.
Darin was sure it was a girl.
Man, I hate to be wrong.
But what a great thing to be wrong about.
Don't worry, Darin did a fair amount of gloating.
I barely made it in time. I was only there for about 25 minutes before she was born.

MyKelle is so sweet and gentle with her.
She whispers soothing words to her
MyKelle is thrilled beyond words.

I was fortunate to have a kind nurse that let me go in and watch and video Brinley get her first bath.
What a great experience.

 Gage is not sure about holding Brinley by himself.
It was okay for Daddy to hold him and Gage could help and give kisses.

The new family picture of the William's family.

JoJo with 3 of my sweet grandchildren!

Mommy and Baby Brinley.
So proud of my daughter.
She is an amazing Mom and woman.
Grateful to call her mine.
Thanks for letting me be a part of this amazing day.

Winter

2011 has been pretty uneventful.
We have had 6 birthdays, Wow.

Keith had a birthday.
Happy 56th to you.

He has always been full of it!



Hailey is just plain precious


My precious grandkiddos wishing Poppy a Happy Birthday.


The Clampetts enjoy a day in the snow, in my backyard, pulled by the 4 wheeler.


Yes, my children tube in a rubber boat. Don't judge. 
I understand it's really fun.


Sweet Gage turned 4.


Everyone seems to need to help him blow out those candles.


These 2 are showing off the Diva Princess in them.


Cambree learned to crawl.
 Started out with her head dragging on the ground, 
Funniest thing ever.


Now she crawls like a pro.


Carson walks everywhere!
 Except he's not too fond on outside walking.


Addi loves playing with my "Guys." 
Here she has set them up in a way that makes sense only to her.


Carson turned one!!


He had a party. Loved his toys and balloons.


Cake is yummy! He ate it right up.


Hailey is happy to be at the party.


Cambree looks like she has a hat made of balloons.
I'm telling you, just blow up a bunch of balloons. The kids loved them.

Jessica, Natalie, and Travis have all had birthdays. 
No pictures. Silly mom.



Papa is amazed by the iPad.
Here he is watching a Utah football game.


I know we are all tired on snow, but this storm left beauty in its wake.


 And 2 days later, it has all melted. My kind of winter.
Welcome Spring!!
Good-bye Winter.

Be impressed, very impressed.
I have updated.
Thank you.

Christmas 2010

We celebrate Christmas with our family on Christmas Eve. 
This year was great because most everyone had the day off, 
and everyone was able to join us for at least part of the time.

The kid table eating dinner.

The grown-up table. 
(I use the term grown-up lightly.)
More "grown-ups."

 Trav and Hailey
 The kids made Keith and I open our gifts first, which was rather odd. 
They had been keeping secrets for so long, they couldn't stand it anymore.
Our kids knew that Keith and I had both gotten each other ipads without the other one knowing.
Apparently, I am told, you can't share these.
So, 2 it is.
So far it's a fun little device.
 Then it was the grandkids turn.
JoJo has a problem she has got to change.
I have a hard time stopping the buying of gifts for my grandkids.
These are Cambree's.
(Side note: I have a sickness. It's related to Kohls and a 30% off coupon.
Yes, it's true, I have $200 in Kohl's cash to spend this week.)
 MyKelle told us last week that she needed to talk to Santa again, 
because now she wanted to add a guitar to her list.
Silly girl, you don't tell Santa, you tell JoJo. 
 Addi loves playing with my old Fisher Price "guys." 
So, we got her a house and "guys" of her own.
 Carson looks about as impressed with clothes as Travis was growing up.
 Of course, Cambree loved the paper. 
 Carson and Cambree got chairs.
The 3 oldest got wiggle cars, which they love, and I don't have a picture of that.
 After our Christmas, we went to Keith parents' house for the annual Christmas Eve celebration.
The kids, especially Addi, love Rusty, Grandpa's dog.
 Tyler, Paul, and Nathan cooking scones.
 Kelli and Jeremy dancing with the Wii
Kelli and Katie dancing. Notice Katie's cute pregnant belly.
 Cambree is in the "I don't like strangers" stage. 
She wasn't too sure about Grandma holding her.
 The White Elephant game had 40 participants this year.
Wow, that took awhile.
 My Grandkids with their Great Grandparents.
 Grandpa and Grandma with Hailey, their newest great grandchild.
 Carson checking out Grandma's clown.
Darin hates this thing. It wigs him out.
 Cambree all ready for bed.
 Title - hmm
White trash?
Not really, Paul just making more room for all the gagbage.
 Christmas Day we went visiting.
Addison got a cute play house, which took Trav 2 1/2 hours and many cuss words to put together.  
I just giggle.
Mostly I like her outfit.
 Travis got a Kinect for his xbox. 
This is Keith and Trav trying to go down a river.
Keith was "dead weight" according to Trav.
 MyKelle loves Tangled and got the doll.
 Gage likes everything. 
 Cambree likes the doll now that it's out of the package.
Kelli likes Jeremy, now that....
Oh never mind.

Adam and Jess went to Evanston so we weren't able to see them on Christmas.

It has been a wonderful year with many blessings.
Can't wait to see what the New Year brings.
