Welcome to Summer! :)

Hello one and all! We hear that all you in Utah are buried under snow, and that most of you everywhere else are experiencing winter-like temperatures...may we entice you with a trip to Texas?! This has got to be one of the best times of the year--little to non-exsistant humidity and wonderful temeperatures. We've spent several mornings at the park going on walks and we've been barbequeing up a storm! Our AC has been on non-stop and it's official windows-down weather when we drive! And, as I type, I'm looking out my open window to green grass and blue, beautiful sky...anybody want to come and play?

We've had a good little while--despite Katelyn being sick! Sick babies are no fun! However, I think we have probably weathered our first ear infection and I swear there is no more runny, nasty stuff left in her nose! Katelyn also learned a new skill this week--just today in fact! She's been working and working and working on crawling--but hasn't figured out the hand/knee combo until today. Check it out--her first official crawl! (Actually, her second, we didn't get the first on tape!) We're silly, we know, but we thought that Grandma's would appreciate it as much as we did! :)



Other happenings at the Williams house...
We've started a garden! We don't have any place that we can grow anything outside, and we don't ever get direct sunlight through our windows, so we improvised. It looks sorta ghetto--but everything is growing great! We're growing a whole bunch of herbs--and we're giving peppers and tomatoes a shot. Who knows how well they will do...we're also growing lavender for the yummy smell! We're pretty proud of our plants!


We're getting excited about getting house soon! We move the first part of May and we can't wait! We'll miss everything here, but we're excited about all the new people and things we'll see in Houston. We've been working with our Realtor and checking out lots of houses online...we're going down the 2nd week of March to find our home! Yeah! Mike is really happy about his job and we feel so blessed.

Here's where Mike will be working--it's a great facility out in the middle of nowhere! Best part, he's going against traffic to and from work--no fighting all the Houston gridlock!

We had a Cub Scout Push Mobile event on Saturday--our boys had great time. We won one of our races and and lost another--it was neat!

Here's our boys with our two Pack Masters.

All things are good on the Katelyn front! You already saw that she is crawling (holy cow!) and here are some other milestones....
She gets to go shopping sitting in the cart now! We tried it this week on a whim, it was great! No more carting around that huge car seat...and now she can use the neat cover she got for Christmas!

She is also eating lots of 'semi-solid-food-product' nowadays. It's a mess! She prefers to hold the spoon...in fact, she prefers one in each hand! The end result is dirty, but darling!

Lastly, Katelyn and I are getting ready for a trip to Detroit to tile with my Mom and Aunt Carla. So much fun! I'm nervous a bit about the solo plane ride, Katelyn is going to miss storytime with Daddy (as well as lots of other stuff), and Mike is going to be lonely, but it should be a fun trip! Mike promises to keep himself busy working on his Thesis (it's just about done!!) and we'll get a taste of what winter is supposed to feel like!

We love you all! Have a happy cold week!

I, one of the proud grandma's, loved your blog today! It's so fun to see her in action! It's much easier to crawl without a dress on though! Love, love, love you guys!
