BlOgGiNg ThRoUgH pIcTuReS!!!

Here is my beautiful girl Elle!


My cousin Brooke gave us a TON of ADORABLE girl clothes, accessories, and shoes! This was the day we went through it all!


Who wouldn't want to wake up to this face!!


Ha ha here is my little ham Beck! I love the way he shows his two bottom teeth!


I love my little muscle man!


Ellery enjoying her pink birthday cupcake!


And Beckham enjoying his green birthday cupcake!


Hayden got in on the birthday action! March 15th, Elle and Beck's birthday! Can't believe they are ONE!


I don't know what they put in that frosting, but they had some crazy colored poop the next day!


Dinner time!


Thankfully, feeding time isn't always this messy! (They get the most messy when dad feeds them :))


Love Elle's giant smile! She must get it from her parents!


And I love those big eyes!


Beck started standing by himself and now walks around a bit too!! Growing up so fast!


Love hanging out with my sweet babes! Especially in the morning when they are so happy!


Look at that hair!


Ha ha love this boy!!



Ha ha funniest face ever!




This was the first time I actually did something with Elle's hair! Isn't it cute! Two little pigtails!


And this is how much she liked having her hair done...


Wow! What a crazy couple of months it has been! The semester is almost over and I am almost graduated! Hayden has been very busy with school and recruiting and training for his job as a manager for Ecofirst Pest Control. We're headed to Sacramento, CA this summer! Elle and Beck turned one! It was an emotional day for me, thinking back on all we had gone through in the past year, but I can honestly say I have never had so much joy! Twins are SO much work, but I love them so much! They are the sweetest funniest little babies and I love being their mother! Like I mentioned above, Beck is walking! It is the cutest thing ever! It totally catches me off guard though when he strolls wobbly past me! Who knows when Elle will walk! They are healthy and happy and are doing great! We have truly been so blessed. Hayden has been accepted into the Advertising program at BYU so now he has about two years left! I don't mind at all. I love my family so much! Hopefully I'll keep up-to-date with our blog for the Summer!! Talk to you soon!

PICTURES!

Um Hiiii...

Hello everybody! (it's actually probably more like NObody since I haven't updated in forever) I am so sorry it has been such a long time since I have updated and that you have had to look at the same post for ages! I am really going to try and update our blog more often! Even if no one follows or reads it, I want it for us! And for my family later on! It's memories and stories, ya know? Yeah, I know you know... that's why you guys are all good at keeping your updated! Well, life has been good the past 4 months. Crazy, busy, hectic, stressful...but good. :) Hayden and I completed another semester of school! Yay! Hayden recently applied for the Advertising major at BYU, but we won't know if he gets in till March, so keep your fingers crossed! I am finally gonna be graduating this April!! Yay! April 22nd to be exact, and you are all invited. I know graduations are boring, but nevertheless you are invited. I will be graduating in Exercise Science: Fitness and Wellness Management, so be sure to contact me with all of your health and fitness related questions!!

We all flew to Florida for the week before Christmas, flew to Cheyenne, Wy for the week of Christmas and then drove to Bakersfield, Ca for the week of New year's! Yes, it was insane traveling with twins, but i'm gad we did it... did you guys hear about the new flight fees? Some airlines have already increased their flight prices and may charge for infants and carry-ons over 25 pounds! Yikes! We might be doing a lot more driving!

We are just now getting settled into a sort of routine again with classes and such. Hayden is figuring out what his/our plans are for the Summer. He wants to sell again but we don't know where and so on. He has to be recruiting and stuff too, so if you know of any quality guys looking to work hard this summer and make some good money send them Hayden's way!

So that's that. The babies are doing great and are as adorable as ever! I love them so much! Beck is crawling everywhere and has 4 teeth! Two on top and bottom. Elle is sitting up and that's about it ha! She is so cute! It's funny cause even though they are twins it feels like i have two children of different ages. K well gotta go...talk later!

I hOpE tHeY cAlL mE oN a MiSsIoN!!

Well it finally happened! Elder Brian Mark Williams entered the Missionary Training Center at 1:45 pm on Wednesday, September 8th. Grandpa Chuck came up from Payson to say goodbye to Brian. Hayden was next, who had to leave to go pick up his mom from the airport. It was a very emotional moment when Hayden said goodbye to Brian. Hayden has really come to love Brian over the past 3 years that we've been together. He looks up to Brian in many ways and is going to miss him a lot.
My brother Eric and I were lucky enough to be the ones to actually drop him off. It was such a neat experience, as quick as it was. As we drove into the MTC, there were tons of missionaries, the new ones entering and the older ones helping them in, and all three of us suddenly had a big rush of adrenaline and excitement! At one point Brian said, "Wow, I'm really going to be a missionary!" There were older men dressed up in gear guiding our car down further and further to marker 25 where we could park and let Brian out. The first older man we came across said, "One of you guys must be a missionary! Where are you going, Chile?" We laughed and said no and then Brian told him where he was going, after which Eric affirmed the man that Chile was where he had served his mission. The excitement grew and grew until we finally reached our destination. Two missionaries jumped up and down and pumped their arms enthusiastically as pulled to a stop. They were there to help Brian with his luggage and guide him to the right place. I took some last minute video and pictures of Brian. When it was time for me to say goodbye, I wasn't even sad. Well, maybe a tinge. But I was just too excited for him!! We watched him walk off and then he turned and waved one last time! Eric and I drove off and talked of how happy and excited we were for Brian to begin his mission journey. I love Brian so much and know he is going to do amazing things as a servant of the Lord for the next two years.

WE'RE BAAACK!!

Hello everybody!! Sorry it has been sooo long since I did a post and updated our blog! Sheesh! We have been busy busy (and still very much are) but I thought I would take this moment while the babies are napping (in which I should be studying, but who wants to do that?) to do a post. Hayden finished selling for the summer on August 26th. That day we packed up and drove down to Bakersfield and spent two nights with my parents. It was fun, it's always fun to be be with them. We drove to Provo on Saturday and arrived to find that the occupants in our apartment had not moved out yet. With no bed or furniture or a place to stay, we stayed with Mike and Pam until Monday. School started on Monday and we began to move into our apartment. The first week was crazy!! Holy bajolly. I thought going to school full-time with twins would be easy... I was wrong! It is very difficult and stressful, but oh well right? I gott get it done. I am trying to graduate in April, but might have to push it back to June. We'll see. Needless to say my grades are not going to be the best these next semesters, which sadly (or fortunately) I don't care. Just want to graduate. Unpacking and getting all moved in and settled has been a lot harder this time around with twins! We are still not all settled, but are getting there slowly each day. Brian flies in tomorrow night, we take him to the MTC on Wednesday and then Hayden's mom flies in Wednesday afternoon and will be staying with us for a week! I'm excited to see her and for her to spend time with the babies (which she has not seen yet!). Ok, so here are some things that have happened since my last post:

~ the babies turned 5 months
~ we had a family get together at Shaver lake and Bakersfield
~ we attended the temple as an entire family for the first time and last time for at least 2 years
~ I left my babies with a babysitter for the first time (which I really did not like! You'd think it would be nice to have a break, but I just thought about them and missed them the whole time)
~ Brian spoke at his farewell and us 3 sisters got to sing
~ Hayden finished the summer with the number one office in the company (yes, he wants to do it again next summer... ugh)

Enjoy some pics and until next time!
