New look folks....what do ya think?? We had some friends over tonight and played "What would you choose". This was one of my dares, and just think I sat there all night looking like this. Carson was mortified, could not stop looking at it. Good times, always good times!

Whats better after a long day of cleaning then your lovely dinner simmering away in the crock pot. God bless the person who invented these things, stroke of genius if you ask me. Perfect solution for those crazy, busy days when you still gotta get dinner on the table. Nice, nice!!

Tereasa Ann and Teri Ann celebrating the 76th birthday of little Miss Carol Ann. Ann, a name I am proud to carry as my own. Going 7 generations back, if I don't have a daughter the tradition dies. No pressure, right. Happy birthday sweet Gran, you spring chicken you. Love you madly sweet lady, what would life be like without our Granny O.

Thats a wrap...for another year anyway. Thank-you family for a few days of priceless memories. Wall ninja's, hot-tubbin, incredible scenery and nature at its finest, great food and even greater company. Love this side of my family. They are in my mind's memory from the very beginning. Every year and every experience with them just strengthens the bond. We are the Williams', proud of it. Proud to be a part of this family!

Weirdness. Dressing my kids in layers in the middle of August. Go figure. When you are in the middle of Yellowstone park, rain, rain and more rain, and temps in the low 60's....COLD! At least if felt cold. Poor Carsey babe, shivering like crazy!

Thanks Afton sweets for some totally awesome, old-fahioned, salt-water taffy. Barrels and barrels of flavors to choose from. Not to mention homemade fudge, chocolates and of course Jelly-bellies. Don't worry Jen, we've got your bag. Courtesy of Grandma, of course.

Loved this moment. Have always loved my uncle Alan. Sometimes I swear he loves me more than my own dad does. Not saying that to feel sorry for myself, sometimes I really just think it is true. He has always been there for me. So touching to see that love he has for me, passed on down to my child. Thank-you Uncle, you have truly been a blessing in my life!

All packed and ready to go...big trip tomorrow, Island Park! Wow..I sure do pack alot of stuff. Rather have to much than not enough though. Stayed up until 2:30 getting everything ready, and woke up at 5:30. Funny how being a mom of young kids gets you accustomed to not alot of sleep. I run off 3 hours just fine.

Can't go to the grocery store (Walmart) without stopping at their delicious bakery. Ha, Walmart have a delicious bakery, I think not. Carson however will tell you otherwise. Every trip he finds the sickest, gooiest, fly-coverded, completely unappetizing doughnut he can find. Usually the ones with bright red or blue frosting that stains his mouth and teeth. He cries the entire way home cause I won't let him eat it in the car. As soon as we get home, I unload and he devours his doughnut. Well to each their own I guess.

Nothing better than a nice clean car. I don't know why I bothered, considering we leave for Island Park in 2 days. It will be junked up with treats, drinks, not to mention all the crap I haul along for our little family of four. You would be amazed at all the stuff I am capable of bringing. None the less, it just feels better to be traveling in a clean car. So thanks honey for making it happen!

Uh-oh..I think I might be breaking the biggest 365 rule of all. TWO PICTURES...how dare I. How was I supposed to choose though. One of the greatest things about Sundays is family naps. Thiago zonked out on the couch with Carson. I had rocked Lincoln to sleep and just left him in the chair. And low and behold a couple of hours of uninterupted ME time. That rarely happens. Love my kids, but I also love a break.

Congratulations Tanner on your decision to be baptized and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. So glad we were able to witness this special day with you. As I watched you head into the baptismal font, standing there next to your dad all dressed in white. Well, I just couldn't hold back the tears. How close to heaven you are, you amaze me every single day. What an incredible spirit you have got in that little body of yours. Can't wait to see the things you do with it. Always, always remember that your Teri loves you, from day one I have loved you!
