Quote of the Week ~ Our efforts...

The Lord doesn't expect us to work harder than we are able. He doesn't- nor should we- compare our efforts to those of others.
~ President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

I want to remember, so I don't forget...

The number one reason I try to keep my blog updated, or have a a blog in the first place is so I don't forget the magical and good times we have as a family. Period. Paragraph.

Cash looking very cool in his new Spiderman glasses!

We took Cash and Colby to our neighborhood big toy. Colby went down the slide a few times, but all he really wanted to do was play in Grandpa's truck. He's watching Tim walk to the mailboxes and he didn't like it. He's saying, "Grandpa."

 Colby was all smiles when Grandpa came back!

Colby likes to blow bubbles but ends up spilling most of it. He's holding something I found called "Fubbles." It's spill-proof and makes blowing bubbles a lot more fun.

 ...a very large breadstick!

 

Sweet boy... we love date night with our grandsons.

Schools Days...

 
I substitute taught two days last week. Some students wrote this on the board and they are always respectful of me. I actually enjoy teaching now, although I am no match for Mrs. Otto expert abilities!

The students really like Mrs. Otto. As you can see from this picture, she is a lot of fun. She was reading them a few lines from Romeo and Juliet! It's also fun to notice that I was looking at Pinterest on my computer... I had my work finished! One more interesting thing in the picture is Paul and his amazing interpreter in the the background. I can't imagine being deaf, but Paul does really well. He smiles all the time and really does give his best effort.

Turn...

The other day Mark and Tiff let Cash have a turn shooting the BB gun. 

 
Well... Colby thinks he's big enough to try everything Cash does and he often says, "turn." So Daddy let him have a turn and that made him happy!

Tim... is NOT a lazy man!

 Tim is NOT and lazy man and will tackle any job. 

The grill was long over due to be cleaned. 

And with his usual perfection, he got it almost looking new and ready for the summer grilling season!!

Wordless Wednesday ~ Colby singing and dancing with Spiderman!

Colby...

Colby is talking a mile a minute and is fearless. 

 

He's a happy boy and is always on the move!

Cash...

So handsome and getting so big.

Cash loves to help Grandpa outside, so he borrowed some gloves and helped rake the leaves. He is always a good helper!

Grandsons are great!!!

Quote of the Week ~ Stock the shelves...

"I like this thought: Your mind is a cupboard, and you stock the shelves. Let us make certain that our cupboard shelves, and those of our family members, are stocked with the things which will provide safety to our souls and enable us to return to our Father in Heaven. Such shelves could well be stocked with gospel scholarship, faith, prayer, love, service, obedience, example, and kindness" ~ Thomas S. Monson

Introducing the Williams Family Band...

 I love music and it was so fun to enjoy some tunes after dinner last Sunday!

Mark ~ guitar

 Tiffani ~ bugle

 Cash playing the piano in his undies

 And last but not least Colby on the harmonica!

Family time is the best... I hope we can do that again real soon.

"Family time is sacred time and should be protected and respected. We urge our members to show devotion to their families.”  ~  President Boyd K. Packer

Wordless Wednesday ~ Grillmaster!

Quote of the Week ~ Battles of life...

“The greatest battles of life are fought out 

daily in the silent chambers of the soul.”
~ David O. McKay 

"The most difficult battles in life are those we fight within." ~ Chinese Proverb
