The Williams Family: Girls Weekend

I can't believe our little "Chunkmin" is 6 months! We are sure blessed to have this sweet little angel in our family. Derek and I have been blessed to have our 3 beautiful daugthers! Each brings us so much joy, laughter, and love!

Mud pies

The girls and I have been reading books about spring and then we watch a scholastic show of the books. It has been a lot of fun for the girls and I. While we were at the library, they got a sticker and tattoo. Here they are showing their big muscles with the tattoos.

Every time I try to take a picture of Claire, Brinley loves to jump in saying "cheeeeessssseeee".

Love her sober face!!!

Going Bug Hunting

I got these girls new princess (Ashlyn) and Hello Kitty (Brinley) electric toothbrushes and bubblegum toothpaste. They are always wanting to brush their teeth. This will make Daddy happy!

Claire Bear is darling! I love going into her room after a nap and seeing her excitement and smiles.

She loves to sit in the highchair!

I recently have been watching YouTube videos about the book "The magic of Tidying Up" by this Japanese Organizer. It is a top seller right now and I have been curious about her method of organizing. I have been going through my house and getting rid of stuff that I don't use anymore and letting it go. During this process I found a "paint book" that you use a brush and water only (mess free- every mother's dream). It reminds me of my childhood.

Grandma Martinson I had to post this for you because Ashlyn absolutely loves these shoes that you bought for her when Claire was born. She wears these everyday and they have received lots of love these past 6 months. While we were getting ready to leave to the store this week Ashlyn said, "Mom, I think it is time for Grandma to buy me some new sparkly shoes." haha. I guess she has figured out that Grandma is the one that buys the "cool" shoes.

Look how much she has chunked up! I love my chubby babies!

Ashlyn has been making her own bed for sometime now, but this morning was a special moment for me. When the morning rush settled down and I had to grab something from the girls' room, I discovered this special gift to Ashlyn from Grandma Martinson on her bed. This Book of Mormon means a lot to Ashlyn and I hope that she can learn to love it as she is will read this book soon.

Ashlyn is learning to read right now and doing so so well! I got this book that teaches a child to read in 100 lessons and we just finished lesson 15! Each lesson we finish she gets to put a sticker on her chart. When the big A is filled up she gets to go on a date with me and get an ice cream and then when she completes the little A, we get to go bowling as a family! She is working so hard and is very motivated.

This is a bit random, but I am starting to feel like my bedroom is starting to feel like a real bedroom. I have been watching studio 5 with these glamorous bedrooms segments and I have been wanting to "update". In the complex that we live in we have a website sort of like KSL and I bought these awesome lamps (you can't see in the picture, but they are glittery) and these gorgeous nightstands. My next project is to sand and paint them light blue/teal to match my bedspread. I will keep you updated.

While Derek was in Florida, the girls and I had a party. To keep my and the girls sanity we had to go do something fun each day! As much as we had fun, we are sure to have Daddy back home.

The Bounce House

They had this blue animal and Brinley was so drawn to it.

Got to love that face.

It has been rainy this past week and we had a hay day playing in the rain walking barefoot and enjoying our umbrellas.

This little one started solids this week and absolutely LLOOVVEESS IT!

The last day the girls got up early and saw the cookies from the dessert that we had the night before when we had our 75 year old neighbor over for dinner. They asked if they could eat them for breakfast and I thought, "Why not!!!" They were so excited that it was our little secret.... until now. haha.
