Wow, can you say behind?! I have been pretty busy with pictures lately. I have had a senior, family, and newborn. I have been trying to get the pictures done. I'm almost caught up in time to do a dogs picture and another senior.

Big news - Lane turned 4!!! I can't believe it. As I think everyone knows Lily and Lane share a birthday. So since Lane got last years bday weekend, Lily got it this year. Aunt Sally made Lane feel very special. Thanks Aunt Sally! She and Lily made him his own cake. : ) We did it on his bday morning. It was extra special because Uncle Billy, Aunt Christa and the boys came.

Happy Birthday My sweet Lane!!!

Happy 3rd Birthday Miss Priss!!! I love you sweet pea!

Here is siblings with their kids. Yes half of the kids are mine. LOL! : ) Love my family!!


When we got home on Sunday, We did presents with daddy.

Also that night Chad told me about a house I had called about a few weeks ago. It was sold when the sign went out in the lawn. We heard the people who bought it got a great deal. Well Chad saw the sold sign was off so i called about it.

Yep We bought it. It is a remodeling job! We are pretty excited about it. Def. working hard to get our house done so we can put it on the market. Then we get to start all over. : )

Chad got Lane a rocket for his birthday so on Monday we went and shot it off. Grandpa and Gigi came to join the fun. It was really cool and would have been an awesome evening if it wasn't for the mosqitos!!

This weekend we had Lanes bday party!



Lane's rocket cake - theme monsters vs aliens

We didn't have it where I had planned but that is ok. We still had a good time. There was a huge misunderstanding on the first location.

Here are all the kids who came, plus baby jordyn who was sleeping in her mommas arms.

Do you think he is happy? : )

The kids played hard, ate ice cream and cake, opened presents, did the pinata. The kids had a blast. Thanks for everyone who came to make Lanes bday a special one. Thanks Rick and Glenna for the decorations!!



Saturday morning Beta Sigma Phi had our beginning meeting. Just wanted to share the group minus a few ladies!

Just wanted to share some snap shots. Here is Jude right before a bath. Just thought it was really cute. He LOVES bath time. When he gets in the bathroom and realizes what is fixing to happen he squils! It is really cute!
This is the first time Lane and Jude has taken a real bath together. : )

This was tonight. Jude was playing in the hallway. He is crawling up on his knees now. He does still do the army crawl. He sits up really good, loves food, and can pull him self to standing on anything that will let him. He has started walking with his "hot rod". We will be taken videos soon of this. The video camera is dead right now.

I took a picture of me blowing on Judes cheek. He has a great smile!!

Me and my baby

Cade had checked out a book yesterday from the school library about puppets. So tonight the boys made some puppets. We haven't got to do a puppet show yet because lanes will need all night for all the glue to dry! : )

The boys are doing great in school. They are awesome on their bikes. Lane has some pretty crazy crashes but he continues to get better. This weekend would have been a hospital visit if it wasn't for a bike helmet. : ( glad i wasn't there to see it happen!!

Things are crazy here trying to get the house done and life thrown in there. It is hard to stay caught up on here.There will be more pictures that i will send through shutterfly. I better go so i can get cade and lane to bed.

Here is a picture of lane and cade riding their bikes without training wheels. : )
I'm trying to think of all the things that has happend. I will start with school. The boys started school and so far it is going really well. Cade of course Loves it! Lane is liking the learning part but says no one will play with him. He says when he goes to play with them they walk away. We have been asking him what are some of the names of his classmates are. He hasn't been sad so I'm not too worried. He has learned the letter a. He is so excited about that! : ) Cade walk himself to class every morning but he always turns around and gives me a big smile and wave. This morning he blew me a kiss. When we dropped lane off he was a lovey too. Gave all of us kisses. : )



As for Jude, He is loving food!! His favorites are pears, squash, sweet potatoes, bananas. his favorite of all wagon wheels! He eats breakfast and dinner. Jude is all over the place. He is doing his army crawl but is venturing out on his knees and even did the bear crawl a little today! He loves the freedom. Of course we have to watch him more and make sure things are picked up. When I say he is all over I mean that. Today he went from the living room, to the boys room down the hallway until I picked him up. He will search for me if I don't come to him when he is crying for me. He loves paper things.


He loves water!! Loves it. We have started giving him a bath in the big tub. We put just a little water in it and he goes to town. sitting up splashing, laying on his belly, or even on his back kicking his feet. I do have videos but haven't had time to post them. He gets really excited when you start the water. He took a shower with me yesterday. Loved it!! He has been really vocal lately. Oh his new trick, when you pat his mouth he will make noises and does the "indian call". It is really cute! We went his 6 mth check up this am. He weighs 13 lbs 12.5 oz and 26 1/2 inches long! Long and skinny. I need to look up percentile. For some reason they don't tell you at this dr. office. He had to get two shots. He screamed when the needle was in. but when it was over I held him tight and it didn't take long for him to calm down.

chad had a bday. he turned 32. Work was a little stressful that day but I think we made it special. His dad took him out for lunch. We got him a wii fit, made him strawberry pies (which didn't turn out that great - i don't know - the boys pretty much did it all themselves) and we took him out to eat. it was a fun evening.

I have been taking lots of pictures!! They come in groups. I will go and not have any and then I get bombarded!! the other weekend I took sr pictures of a girl from liberal. I later found out on the way back to liberal they got in a terrible car wreck. My senior is ok bumps, bruises, scratches, but her dad was medivac to wichita. Broke his leg and crushed his ankle. I talk to my sr's sister and she said her dad had surgery on his leg and his moving it really well and was thinking that last wednesday he would have surgery on his ankle. not sure if he did or not. Pretty scary!

My friend keidi went into labor today!! I'm so excited!! Last night we had a storm and i had a feeling this morning I would find out she was in the hospital. I text her earlier and still haven't received anything back. I'm guessing Jordyn is here just haven't had time to call. I'm anxious!!!

so DANG frustrated!!!

The videos aren't very good (below). I have deleted reloaded them about 4 times now. for some reason the sound is off and in judes video it just stops!!! i have no clue what is wrong!!! GGGRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!

Exciting news today

There was lots of excitement today in the Williams Household first off:




YES!! JUDE IS CRAWLING!! Chad and I looked at dates from when cade and Lane crawled. Cade was 6 1/2 mths and Lane was 5 1/2 mths. Actually on the timeline Jude crawled 5 days after Lane did!! We thought that was a pretty cool fact!

Next:






The boys finally got their training wheels off!! Cade is doing great, Lane is too but he has some practice to do. I'm so proud of them both!!!

Jude - A - Bug

My sweet Jude is growing up!!

Jude and Lane share a special bond. Lane was def. meant to be this little babies big bro!

Judes fav. sleeping position

Wahoo in the highchair

Sweetness!

Me and my babies!

OOOHH, I have a spoon! He sure does love food!

First time in the highchair

Ready mom

Lane and Jude playing peek a boo

First real baby food - sweet potatoes

Now your talking MOM!!

I was just feeding him one meal a day - supper. Well one afternoon we all sat down to eat lunch. Jude was in his highchair. He played for a little bit and got really fussy. I got him out and couldn't get him to calm down. I realized that everytime my fork came close to him he would stop grouching. Yes, he was telling me he needed to eat! So we are doing breakfast and supper. He loves food.

He has found his toes!!


Starting to get stronger. So close to sitting on his own!!

Cade feeding Jude for the first time and Jude eating Carrots for the first time!

Lane got a turn

The boys won't be feeding him very often - MESSY!!

Jude has now eaten sweet potatoes, peas, carrots, pears. The peas were really funny to watch. He would make a yucky face and even shivered a few times. Now that he has had it more he doesn't hate them as much! : )

We recently went to Colorado and visited Granny and Peep. We had a great trip and Jude got to meet his great grandparents. Peep and Jude

Granny and Jude

Jude is also rolling and scooting all over the floor. He is trying to crawl. He will get up and rock. He doesn't sleep very much - which is difficult at times. He has realized when I leave the room. But that look on his face just melts my heart when he knows I'm going to get him. Rick said this weekend that no matter how made Jude is he can always squeeze out a smile. He smiles so much. : ) He is still nursing really well, except the little stinker likes to pinch! OUCH!! He is always moving (except when sleeping). He is such a blessing to not only me but the whole family. Actually he brings smiles to everyone who meets him.

kitchen reveal

The big kitchen reveal. There are still a few things left to do but overall it is done! I posted before and after pictures. It is very pretty now. I must say that my husband is pretty awesome!! He worked so hard, and I have to say that it paid off!! Let us know what you think!!

Entryway Before - paneling and wall on the right

Entry way - Now! No wall

Kitchen - Before - notice carpet!!

It has been a long week for remodeling! I haven't been to workout in about a week now. I'm def. having withdrawls! I have decided not to go since this is a good hour chad can work on the kitchen. It has been difficult trying to be creative in our meals. There are only so many restaurants here. : ) I think we are all getting tired of eating out all the time. Chad even mentioned last night that he missed my cooking. : ) I didn't go to girls night out on friday. Instead I stayed home until chad said the tile was ready to lay. I know I'm ready for it to be done and I'm not even doing much of the work. Chad is doing a great job! He is putting everything he has into it and it is starting to catch up in the sleeping area. The kitchen is going to look sharp when it is done.

We have been doing our park, free lunch and home routine all this week. On Monday and tuesday the boys did some workbooks when we got home. Cade started doing addition. He is doing really well. Lanes was a workbook on color and shapes which he already knows but is just keeping him on it.

Yesterday the big boys and I went to walmart. We had to get a few things and I decided to get them new flip flops. They love wearing them, especially Lane, but their old ones are too small. Guess what - Lane and Cade are now officially in the same size shoe!!!! CRAZY!!!

Jude - he has been laughing more. Sunday night Chad finally got him to laugh. It was a laugh I haven't heard yet. Pretty cute. Then Monday Lane got him to laugh. It wasn't on purpose. Lane was actually whining in the back seat, Jude thought it was pretty funny. Cade was feeling left out, he was really wanting to make Jude laugh. Tuesday night I did something that made him laugh so I told Cade to do it. It worked! So we have all made him laugh. Today we put him in the swimming pool for the first time. I did take pictures but they are on the video camera. He seemed to like it except for the sun. That was making him mad. : ) He is so darn sweet! His happiest time is when he first wakes up. When he wakes up around 5 ish I usually bring him to bed with me. So it is fun to wake up to a happy baby. It is a special time. Since we got back from wichita Jude started waking up every 3 hours but the last few night he started to get a little better for me. 8 p.m. is his night time, he wakes up about 3 hours later and then again around 5 a.m. Then it is back to 3 hours during the day. He is still skinny, but does have one roll on each thigh. I have figured out he has a long torso. He wears 3-6 mths in onsies or one pieces (but is quickly getting too long for those) but in shorts and pants he is still in 0-3 mths. His waist is so skinny. When the kitchen gets done I'm going to start him back on cereal. It is just to hard to have to worry about how to clean everything. He is still showing signs of teething but no tooth. Which I'm fine with.

i talked to my mom tonight. So glad to hear her voice. If only she realized how much I love and need her!! She said that she still has days she doesn't feel good but she is getting better. She has gained 3 lbs!!! YEAH!!! Doesn't sound like a lot but I'm proud and so excited!!! We are going to go visit them later this month. The boys are excited! My lil bro just bought his first house!! Yeah Lee! It looks really nice - brand new! I'm excited to see everyone and to see his house.

i better get off here. i know there is prob. things i'm forgetting but i'm too tired to think anymore. : )
