A family day!!

We had such a great family day a few weeks ago. We packed up the truck with our Bikes in Morning and headed to Huntington Beach for a Bike ride up the coast and then a stop at the sugar shack for breakfast. It was such a perfect day for the beach. The sun was out and the waves were huge. Alexis loved looking at them and she said that one day she will ride waves like that. I believe she will one day too!! I am so excited for the summer I can't wait!!! Yeah for days like this.

Eli had a choir performance

So Eli had a little choir performance and he did such a great job.  But he did really well. He loves music!! He loves to sing it and dance to it. He was so excited to perform this for everyone. I am so glad that they get to do this in their school. He is learning so much and comes home every day with something new. I love it!! Way to go buddy you did such a great job!!

New Season for me!!

I am so very thankful for all the blessings in my life.  About a month in half a go my life changed.  I entered a new season.  A season that I had prayed for because I sat down one night exhausted and feeling like a failure because I didn't get to finish the kids homework and the house was a mess and I felt like the day slipped away from me.  At that moment I realized that I needed to empty my plate a bit.  I prayed and asked the Lord to please help me.  i wanted to invest in my children more and not miss this time of their life. I also wanted more time to invest in my photography and also back into the the ministry.  So there were three things that I laid before the Lord and he answered my prayers.


 So Here I am I have more time on my hands then I have ever had.  I do love it.!!!!!  I work in Eli's class once a week and I work in Alexis' class every other week.  I also get to attend things that they do in their classroom and I love that.  Every Monday Jimmy and get to have a date day and it is the BEST!!!  God has opened up so many doors for me to do my photography and also spend time editing my pictures and learn more about my computer and photoshop.  I have also had a great time reaching out to the young mommies in our church and friends.  Yesterday as I was driving around and thinking of my time I heard a voice saying," are you using the time I gave to you wisely?"  Well for those of you who know me well I love to shop and some times all I want to do is shop!  So I stopped what I was doing and came home and spent some much needed quiet time with the Lord.  It was awesome!!!!  So this new season that I am in  I love it.  I just need to make sure that my time is not being wasted and that I do use it wisely.  In the days when the kids would cry a lot (Eli) and they seemed like endless days I look back and I am so thankful for that season that I got to enjoy everyday of my kids growing up and now I get to enjoy this next season.  I am so very thankful for a husband that works so hard for us and that I get to stay home with my babies.  So I am going to embrace it and take it one day at a time and see what the Lord has for me.  

Yummy ice Cream

 Okay so yes it  is the season for girl scout cookies.  Alexis is selling them and we all get so excited about the Thin mints.  Well if any of you are like me it is hard to wait for them.  So the other day I was picking out some ice cream for the family and I found this ice cream. Girl Scouts Thin mint ice cream.  It is so good and I love it!!!!!  It is like eating a bowl of cookies.  Try it if you get a chance.  We bought ours at Target.

Off to Dana Point

Alexis was so excited to try out her new wetsuit.  So yes here in Southern California it was warm enough to go out to the beach in December.  It was such a fun day out there.  Eli played a bit and Alexis went out in the water with her daddy.  She loves to be out there.  After they caught a few waves they came in and we went over to the rocks to see what we could find.  It was a really fun family day.  Looking forward to the summer and all the fun days that we are going to have at the Beach.  Alexis says that she wants to be a pro surfer and a missionary when she gets older.  I pray that she does.  I am so proud of her and the heart that she has.  Thank you Lord for such an amazing little girl that loves you so much!!

Christmas morning at the Williams

Christmas Eve.

This Christmas  Eve. was diffrent for us.  We stayed home and enjoyed some baking and then off we went to go see the Christmas lights in a neigborhood.  It was a lot of fun.  We parked the car and walked around.  The kids were amazed at all the lights and all the work that people did to their house.  It reminded me of when I was younger we use to go look at all the lights with a cup of Hot Coco.  It was so much fun.  My favorite was the all white Nativity scene. it was so simple but yet so sweet.  It was a great night with just the four of us. Maybe we will make it a Williams Tradition.  We will see.
