Christmas

Allie had a lot of fun Christmas morning opening presents. She got lots of clothes (she was growing out of all her others) she got new bedding for her toddler bed, a elmo live, and a castle you jump in. As you can see Chris thinks that he is little enough to play in there too! Trevor got clothes also since he is growing like a weed! He got, stuffed animals, blankets, a play mat, and this cute bumbo seat that he really doesn't like to sit in for too long.

"The Change"

It is sad to say that as I was getting ready for work this morning when I realized I was going through the change. I walked into the bathroom to do my hair and there it was.. My first grey hair!!!! It is changing from mousey/dirty dishwater brown to grey. I let out a little shriek and instantly plucked it from my scalp. Lets have a moment of silence for my youth................ok thats good, now it is time to call the salon!!

Trevor

Satuday morning I was walking through the front room with Trevor and we stopped at the mirror. As you can see by the picture he was happy to see another little baby.

Sewing

I decided that it has been forever since I have pulled out my sewing machine, so last night I got it out and made this very cute apron for a special little girl for Christmas. It was so much fun and so easy to do that I am ready to go back to the material store so I can make me one.

"Santa"

We had a family Christmas Party on Saturday and Santa made an apearance. All the kids lined up to sit on his lap and get a candy cane. Well Allie wasn't about to wait her turn so she decides to run to the front of the line to get some "cangy". We told her she would have to wait and placed her back in line. Every time that big red bag opened up to give another child a candy cane there was Allie asking for her cangy. Eventually she got her turn to sit on santas lap and all she wanted was the candy cane of course. Trevor got to sit on santas lap for the very first time. asyou can see he was content to have santa snuggle him.

Quite

I was cooking dinner Friday and Trevor was in his car seat crying because his bottle fell out of his mouth and Allie was playing at the table making all sorts of noises. I was trying to hurry and get tomatoes sliced so I could get Trevors bottle repositioned when all of a sudden everything went quiet. As you all know I have learned recently that when your kids are quiet they are usually doing something they shouldn't.So I decided to turn around and check on the kids. My little angel (Allie) decided to help mom out and was feeding Trevor his bottle. She is such a good little helper when she wants to be!

"MMMMM PIE"

As we were getting ready to leave our house to go to my sisters for Thanksgiving, I set the pumpkin pies on the table so that I could get everything in the car. Well I heard this little voice say mmmmm pies. I didn't think anything of it til i heard it again but louder..."MMMMMMM PIES!" I decided I better check on Allie and I found a little finger scooping pie filling. It was a good thing I made extras!

Allie's Art

I learned very quickly that if your child is quiet in another room, you shouldn't wait to long to check on them. This is what I found after fifteen minutes of it being really quiet...



This would be chalk on my treadmill...Gotta love her!

Going Private

We have decided it's time to go private! So if you want to keep up with our families fun, leave your email address and we will list you! I'll wait a few days before I change it.

Pictures of Trevor

Here are a few pictures of Trevor for your viewing pleasure. They were taken on my phone so I apologize that they aren't the best quality. Enjoy!

"I Tuck Mom"

I was cooking dinner and Allie was keeping herself occupied with the chairs in the kithen. I heard her calling to me and when i turned around this is what i saw and she was telling me that she was "tuck" in the chairs.

Carving Pumpkins

I ran to the store the other day and when I got home Christopher and Allie decided that they were going to carve a pumpkin. I thought it was cute that he was willing to get elbow deep in pumpkin guts to make Allie happy.

Trick or Treat

Baby "Twebo"

He's Here!

This is Jennilyn's sister Natalie posting for her. Trevor Marcel Williams arrived today at 1:15 pm. He weighs 7 lbs. 4 ozs. and is 19 inches long. He has brown hair and looks like Allie (he must be adorable). I haven't recieved any pictures yet but they will be posted when available. Mom and baby are doing well!

Gama's and Gampa's

This goes out to all the "Gama's and Gampa's" related to Allie (or not). As it turns out anyone and everyone that has grey hair and wrinkles seems to have been adopted by Allie. If we are in the store and some older person passes by, Allie will have to say hi to "Gama or Gampa". I just want to thank all those precious people out there who smile at her and say hi back.

Great Grandma Avera Williams

It is sad to say that Allie's Great Grandma Williams Passed away this last week at the age of 96. She was the sweetest lady ever! As I was deciding on a name for Allie I kept telling Chris that I wanted her to have a middle name but he is against any girl having a middle name just cause once she is married she will take on a new name. I finally convinced him to let her have one and as I was deciding what it should be I was thinking of all the grand children and great grandchildren that grandma had. I realize that quite a bit of them were named after Christopher's grandfather and none were named after his grandma. So I decided that we would name her Allie Avera Williams (if we had a girl) I'm so glad that we did!!! Great Grandma was so thrilled to have a great grandchild named after her that she would always introduce her as "Allie Avera" it was so cute. I remember the next day in the hospital after allie was born she was the very first one there to hold Allie. She was a kind and loving lady she was always looking after all of us and we will miss her very much!

5 More Days

Ok Finally I am down to the last of this pregnancy!! In 5 More days we will have a precious little boy in our home. I am looking forward to holding him and having time away from work. I also can't wait til I can breath again lol.

Halloween

As many of you know I LOVE HALLOWEEN! I can not wait to start seeing the decorations come out and get my kids all ready to go trick or treating. I went to the store yesterday and they had pumpkins out by the door and I was so tempted to get some to put on my porch but I figured they might spoil by the time halloween gets here so I better wait. Allie has learned what pumpkins are and was excited to see them yesterday. Maybe she will grow to have her moms love for this season.

Lagoon

We went to Lagoon on Friday for our summer party at work. Allie enjoyed the rides so much that she would throw a tantrum and lay on the ground every time she had to get off the rides or wait in line for a new ride. It was fun to see how excited she was and watch her face light up when the rides did something unexpected. I was trying to decide if I wanted to even attempt going up there and walking around for hours, but after seeing her enjoy herself that much I'm glad that I went!

Counting The Days!

So I'm counting down the days til we add our newest member to the family, around 17 days to go. The closer it gets the happier I am that this pregnancy will be over and we will have another special spirit in our home. At the same time, the closer it gets the more nervous I get at the thoughts of needles and pain and having to remember how to take care of a new born. I know that it will all come back to me and I will do a good job. I'm looking forward to having a little baby to hold and snuggle. I haven't been able to do that for a while. Allie has become so independant that the thought of sitting still to snuggle with mom probably never even crosses her mind oh to have that kind of energy lol.

Lack of Creativity

I haven't been very good at getting new posts on my blog. I feel that it is out of lack of creativity and a borring life lately. I have just been working and taking care of Allie at nights while Chris has been working. I will try harder to get more pictures and things on here.

Watching "T"

We have a routine every night where Allie watches her "Carntoons" and after "Cues Cues" (Blues Clues) is over I will ask her where her blanket is and she understands that it means it is time to go night night. Last night I asked her where her blanket was and she shook her head at me and informed me " I watching T, I watching T"

We have a blog!

We have finally joined the world of bloggers and started this blog. IF you have a blog address and would like to keep in touch, please let us know.
