Surprise!!

I am excited for this weekend.

I wanted to do something really nice for my Mom's 80th birthday. Sooo, I have planned a SURPRISE party for her in Cheyenne. I have had lots of help and I know this will be the best gift we can give her. All of my brothers and my sister will be there. I have an extra special surprise. I called her two living siblings to see if they could come and they said YES!!! I am so thrilled and it will be so good to Uncle Ken who lives in Denver and Auntie M who lives in Arkansas. It's been too long.

T-minus 24 hours until the partieeeeeeeeee!

Wordlesss Wednesday... So Cooool!

You aren't really 60...

Just 21 with 39 years experience!

I wanted to do something special for Tim's birthday and since it's been established that he LOVES breakfast food, I thought we should celebrate by enjoying Sunday Brunch at the Grand America.

Cash fell asleep on the way to Salt Lake. 

He slept peacefully for almost an hour!

 He always wakes up happy.

 A buffet table just for children.

 Cash loved the fruit kabobs.

 Cash and Grandpa

 

Cash loves music and he liked watching this ensemble play.

We were all smiles after a delicious breakfast with our birthday boy!

There is an amazing toy store inside the hotel and Cash loved exploring every inch of it! 

Even though it was 100 degrees we took a stroll around Temple Square.

 Shade!

I love this picture (10 weeks to go)!

We stopped by to see Johnnie Belle, after a few hints she remembered it was Tim's birthday. It was so good to see her sitting in a chair. We had a nice visit, she was having a pretty good day. 

After a quick nap we enjoyed this "Heavenly Dessert." It's a banana cream trifle, so delicious and easy to make!

Tiff and Mark taught Cash to say "Happy Birthday Grandpa" and to sing the birthday song. He knew almost every word and he's not even two years old yet! It was the best and melted Grandpa's heart.

"You know you're getting old when you get that one candle on the cake. It's like, See if you can blow this out." ~ Jerry Seinfeld. Just kidding, you're not that old!

I got this bug for Cash at the toy store and he's patiently waiting for it to pop up!

A little lime with the cake, why not!

You're going to have a great year!

Period... Paragraph!

Quote for the Week - Seven Lovely Logics

Just 3 Words - Happy 60th Tim...

Oh no, say it isn't so

Tim is turning the big 6-0!

On Sunday Tim will reach a milestone. It's a little strange, thinking that I will be married to a sixty year old guy, but in a few years I will be a sixty year old woman!

A tribute in pictures for the birthday boy...

Timothy Glenn Williams ~ June 24, 1952

Mike ~ His Dad Glenn ~ Tim ~ Lee

Tim served an honorable mission in England. He and his mission companions were in a singing group that would travel to different areas. They shared a message of hope through music.

 I'm proud of Tim for serving his country.

We were married in the Salt Lake Temple on November 30, 1981.

Chris was born September 18, 1982 and Mark was born August 12, 1983

A very happy Dad on Mark's blessing day!

Tim is a wonderful father!

Oh, how he loves his boys!

Mark and Chris showing Tim who's boss!

Tim loved to play the trumpet with Chris. He never had formal lessons, 

Tim taught him how to play and he was always first chair.

 Tim and Mark both like playing the guitar.

Tim loved, LOVED watching Mark play soccer. Rain or shine he never missed one of his games. Mark is #15 with the shaved head and bleach hair!

Mark was the star on his high school team and went all the way to the State Championship. 

Tim is so proud of Chris and Mark for serving honorable missions for our church in Taiwan and Denmark.

He was also so proud of Chris when he graduated from college, so was Grandma Johnnie Belle!

Tim with his brother and sisters ~ Mark, Holley Terri, Lee and Mike.

Tim has always liked motorcycles...

and he still does. He rides his scooter to work almost everyday in the summer.

Tim graduated from the University of Wyoming Law School in 1980 and has been practicing law ever since.

His office at Interline Resources in Alpine...

and his current office in Highland.

Tim's favorite hobby is woodworking. He has made several Windsor chairs and of course a beautiful cradle for our grandbabies.

He's a good son who loves and honor his Mom. He has kept a promise he made to his Dad to always take care of her.

Tim mentioned the other day that he's happier now than he has been for many years. There are many reasons but these are the top two...

This little boy is reason number one. Tim adores Cash and loves to spend time with him. Cash loves Grandpa too!

Tim also enjoys the area of law he's practicing now. Helping families with aging parents sort through difficult decisions and other areas of ElderLaw (VA, Medicaid and Estate Planning) brings him a lot of satisfaction.

We have experienced many wonderful trips together. Our favorites will always be Maui, Lake Powell and Banff.

Well there it is, sixty years in a nut shell! Thank you for working so hard to take care of us, we have never wanted for anything. You have always put your family first. The most important thing we have is each other. 

Tim would rather not have a big party but that doesn't mean we won't celebrate on Sunday with our little family!

 Happy Birthday Tim, love you always!
