Okay - I know I am a HUGE slacker when it comes to blogging. I'm a busy girl and I am not going to make any more excuses. Just enjoy the update and SMILE! We are having a great summer so far. We've gone to the Dirk Family Cabin once and will go again this week. Ian turned 2 years old and we had a great time with 2 birthday parties. We will be going to Idaho for Derek's family reunion at the end of the month and Alison turns 6 years old on August 8th. Derek's birthday is August 13th - so we'll be busy with birthdays for another month.
Christine (my twin) is in town and staying with us and took some awesome pictures of our family. They turned out really great. I'm attaching a few today for you to take a look.
Alison has been taking swimming lessons and Ian has shown us he REALLY, REALLY, REALLY likes to be in the water. We took the kids to Lagoon yesterday and Ian Loved walking in the lazy river. He kept telling me "leave me alone!" I hovered, but he did really great - but is a little over confident for my comfort level. Alison is still a little nervous to try swimming, but surprises us by trying out something new because it is HER idea. She'll be swimming soon. We are also trying to get her to ride her bike - but in true Ali fashion, it has to be on her own terms.
Ian is talking in full sentences now and really is quite articulate. He is in full "MOMMY" mode and will only let me do stuff for him, screaming at anyone else who tries to help him "NO, Mommy!" Needless to say - I am even more busy now. I am grateful to be called Mommy - so I deal with it.
Christine and I have been doing a complete Transformation (it's an 18 week challenge to change all aspects of our lives... Physical, emotional & spiritual). It has been going really well. We are in the middle of it and plan on completing it and celebrating in Denver this October at the Transformation conference. To learn more, just go to Transformation.com. It's awesome!
Derek is busy at work and loves his job. He travels a bit and enjoys those he works with (making it really nice for everyone). He proves to me all the time that he is an awesome hubby, father and my very best friend. I love him so much!
As for me - I'm staying busy as usual. No real update here. Well - there you have it. I have contributed to the blogging world yet again. We hope all is well with everyone! Take care and until next time... Love the Williams
