April

Blueberries!

We were invited to go blueberry picking with our friends, the Bolins.  So we loaded up all 5 kids in our van and headed to Ashley's grandmother's house in Tampa.  It was fun and oh so yummy!!!

Blueberry Picking!

 When we got back from blueberry picking, it was late so our guy joined us and we had dinner at the Bolins.  While Bella was waiting for dinner I found her like this...

And our conversation went like this..

Me: What are you doing Bella?

Bella: Watching Duck.

Me: Why?

Bella: Because... shhh!

She is so funny!

Christian Campus House
Josh was asked to speak at University of Florida's Christian  Campus House.  The kids and I came along.  Arabella and Landon were really excited to be able to go.  We packed up some quiet things to do while we were there in their super cool backpacks from Aunt Sally.  They were so good! Yay!!  We had several people come over and tell them how impressed they were with how they behaved.  Landon was pretty happy with all the compliments he received.  Josh did a great job speaking too :)

Firehouse Day
We went with our MOPS group to a firehouse tour.  The kids were excited.  It was kind of a bummer, because about 10 minutes after we got there, the firemen were called out to help someone.  Thankfully the kids didn't mind.  They thought it was cool.  Rosemary, brought a Curious George book about Firehouses. She read that in hopes the fire truck would return.  No such luck.  So we  decided to head over to the near by play ground.  We hadn't ever gone to the playground.  It was a great day even thought it didn't go as planned.

 Corks and Colors
I am changing our kitchen decor.  So I thought I would add personalized salt and pepper shakers and a butter dish.  I didn't do many painting classes in April, just lots of pottery.  These ladies were here for a bachelorette party and were delightful to teach!

Gainesville December

Half of our December was spent in Gainesville.  It was filled with lots of Christmas cheer, giggles, outdoor explorations, and enjoying friends.  The kids and I were only in Gainesville for 2 weeks and then we packed up and headed to Niceville/ Fort Walton Beach and later Missouri for a month.

Build and Grow Gingerbread House/ Day Out with Mommy

See that little smile, see that little smily girl looking up at the at the top of the monkey bars? She climbed up to the top and back down to the other side all by her self.  I am officially afraid of heights.... now! SO scary and proud of my brave little adventure who has almost no fear.  Oh, I love both those cute kids a lot!

LEAVES! PILES OF LEAVES!  LOTS OF FUN!

This was a sad day despite all those handsome and silly smiles.  Mike, Vernine, Kayla, and Zach moved to Texas.  Although we are so happy for them and their new adventures. Their absences has left a hole in our hearts.  We will miss then all dearly.  Thank you Blaszczyk family for being great friends who have stood by us and shown us over and over again God's love and compassion.

Books- this little lady loves books!

We made life-size "gingerbread men" our of some butcher paper.  The kids loved it!

MOPS Christmas Party- the cookie decorating was my kids favorite part I think.

This little man of mine loves to tell stories, and I love watching him tell them to me.  This particular story lasted almost 15 minutes and it was about robots.  

It is beginning to look at lot like Christmas....

everywhere you go.....

Merry Christmas!!! Love the Williams Family
