Myla's Baby Blessing

On Sunday, May 1st Tyler did a great job with blessing Myla Evelyn Williams, our seventh grandchild. All of our family was there and later we got together with both families and enjoyed a delicious lunch at Megan's and Tyler's home.

AJ's Birthday

On Friday we celebrated AJ's birthday by going out to Cheesecake Factory for dinner.  Then we had all the family come over for strawberry shortcake and sing Happy Birthday.  I love the birthday wreath that is made out of balloons.  I found how to make it on a website and think it will work great for celebrating the family birthday's we have each month.  Now we're the same age for 6 months. haha

Easter

  Our Easter Sunday started out with us attending Megan and Tyler's ward where they spoke on the atonement and the resurrection and did a great job.  We helped tend Judson and Myla during Sacrament meeting.  Then we headed over to our ward. We were able to celebrate Easter with all of our family on Sunday afternoon.

Talon's First Birthday

Talon turned one on March 4th.  We celebrated his birthday the next day at Court and Krin's home.  We had a yummy lunch and then enjoyed cake and cupcakes.  Talon is such a happy and easy going little guy.

Welcome Myla Evelyn Williams

On Tuesday morning around 7 am we got a phone call from Megan, telling us that her water broke and they were on their way over to drop off  Judson and then head over to the hospital.  Around 2 pm that afternoon, they welcomed Myla Evelyn into their family.  She weighted 7 lbs. 5 oz. and was 20 inches long. We took Judson later that afternoon to meet his baby sister.

Birthday Celebration

On Saturday, Feb. 19th we had AJ's siblings over to celebrate his dad, Keith's 83rd birthday.  We had a wonderful dinner and a yummy cake.

 AJ wrote him a poem:                             

Keith Jackson

83rd Birthday

This is for the Old Man

Who's turning eighty three?

Still happy to be moving

Who says he's geritol free

He gets up every morning

Without a place to go

Eats a little breakfast

Life should be this slow

His children all have families

His wives have passed away

That leafves him time for living

Or even time to play

I think I'll go out flying

Or work the garden here

Another book I'd like to read

Or take a nap my dear

Life is oh so pleasant

I've got few cares you see

Life just couldn't be better

When you're turning eigthy-three

So let me just sit down

And take a little nap

There's no one here to hassle me

Or give me any crap

I don't know how I'll blow them out

These candles on my cake

Let's all get in a circle

And hope that there not fake

I'll raise this glass of water

And say a little cheer

And offer up a lasting toast

I hope I'm here next year.
