In case you missed our last blog post, we had big news to share with our families and Jon was coming down for a long visit so we made a week trip home to visit.
Fun with Bubbles
Landon is so spoiled :) Grandma and Grandpa got him a bubble making machine!
Independence Day Celebration at the Fort Walton Beach Landing... Grandpa Williams is singing!
Landon and I joined the Williams family at the Landing (Josh was still stuck in Gainesville at the point working) ) for the Independence Day Celebration. Grandpa Williams joined the Emerald Coast Barber Shop Choir in on of the days events. Unfortunately, it did rain while we were there but only long enough to get everyone really wet and cool us all down. Funny thing was it happened when on of the performers was singing a song about it raining! The show went on! We just tried to enjoy the cool rain and then continued to enjoy the day.

Meeting Merry
Jon came down to see everyone. He had been deployed in Afghanistan for several months. For those of you who don't know he is in the Marines. He also brought his girlfriend, Merry (BIG NEWS, BIG NEWS.... who he just recently become engaged too as of the end of August! They are Getting Married November 27th!!! We are so happy for them and wish them many blessing!)

The BIG Reveal
We had a big family holiday lunch at my parents house (yay, their house is finally finished being remodeled from top to bottom!)... little did they know we planned it so Landon could share is BIG news with the whole family at the same time.
The funniest thing was no one even noticed his shirt for the first 10 minutes. Silly Uncle Jon did (he told us afterward) but he thought it was just a hand-me-down shirt and we had run out of clean shirts for him.

Finally Grandma Gorman realized it when Josh told Landon to show her his shirt. I don't think she even believed it when she read it. "Does Landon know something I don't know?" Yes, Krystle and Josh are having Baby Williams #2!!!!!

Pool time was a fun part of the big family lunch.
Landon showed off to everyone, this little boy knows how to swim under water! He can't come up for air on his own so his still need someone there but he was quite proud of himself, as were all of us!

Happy Birthday, Jon!
Jon turned 22 a few days after he left, so we celebrated his birthday while he was down.

Landon's new favorite thing: coloring!!!
Josh, Landon and I are so blessed to have a big, loving family that live so close to each other. It is great not having to choose which family to visit when we can afford time to travel and Josh can get time off. With both Josh and I being such family people I don't know what we would do if we had to limit the time with one or the other.
