I wish I was a lil' bit taller...

I saw this on a photographer's web site, and I kinda thought it was cool. I think I will do it every once in a while to document any given day. I guess this is the journal side of bloggin'.

I AM...a Christian and (choke, choke)30
I WANT...to play hooky with my family tomorrow (I love Fall weather) & to be http://www.tarawhitney.com/ when I grow up
I HAVE...a spotless home (I'm admittedly a little OCD and have made peace with it).
I KEEP...putting off sending in the volunteer sheet for my kids school :).
I WISH I COULD...learn the mechanics of photography through osmosis.
I HATE...watching the news (but I do it anyway).
I FEAR...possums (eeek!)
I HEAR...Maddie practicing guitar, Will and Wes playin' in the tub and Kate yellin' at Jon:)
I DON'T THINK...I could love my life more.
I REGRET...that I'm so close to my sister, but not my brother
I LOVE...my life (did I already say that? Gag!)

Autumn in Indy

Okay, so it may not be like Paris in the Fall, but I will have to admit that becoming a "Soccer Mom" isn't that bad (not as cool as it is for Kelly! I mean the woman bought a shirt (See bottom collage) and a minivan just for the occasion. (Hey-Life's what you make it!) I think Will would rather be playing baseball though, but he would never admit it. (we gave him the choice). I know I'd rather be a baseball mom. I mean you all know I'd rather watch grass grow. (no offense baby boy, you rock it out)!
One thing is sure, we're gonna have to keep Wes in the stroller. Pretty sure he's is on the field more than most of the players!!!:0
-more later!

Oh this is the night,

it's a beautiful night. And we call it bella notte. (okay, I really went through an obsession with Disney movies in my early teens!) Anyway, I am behind on my bloggin', because this collage actually occurred a couple weeks ago. Lori and Forrest and Scottie and I went down to Broad Ripple to eat (amazin' Mediterranean food), and we fed these rug rats some good ol' Italian. Good ol' Ragu! I just thought it was so funny, because there were four kids chowin' down and there were five of us (okay, four. what? somebody has to document) feeding them! That beautiful teen in the top right corner is our fabulous babysitter, Kenna. We love our Kenna! Please don't go away to college Kenna! :0

Anyway, back to more important stuff. Don't you think we need a bigger table? Scottie-is that in the budget?

Later!

N-A-N-A-N-A (s)

She's our Nana, N-A-N-A-N-A (s). Okay, so I'm bettin' against the fact that my mom actually knows the (b-a-n-a-n-a-s) song!!! None the less, we love our Nana. Right now she's in Israel and I know she can check this blog, so I decided to give her a little treat. (nobody loves pics of their grand kids more than my mom). Well, Nana, we love you and miss you. Now, get out their, have you hugged an Israeli today? :)

Dum, dum, dum-dum!!!

10 years! How 'bout them apples? Who would have guessed it, I mean I look so young and all:O?

Yep, that's right...Scottie and I have been married for ten years on the 12th. My mamaw said, "you guys sure crammed a lot into ten years!" Then she said somethin' about not letting moss grow under our feet. Whatever:), all I know is we're goin' to Hawaii!!! But, until then, my mom took Wes home to Henderson,and Mad and Will spent the night with E (we slept in until 9 on Friday!) Then we went to Henderson and had a great time with some fam.

I will say that I win in the gift department. I rewrote Taylor Swift's, "Our Song" and had it recorded! So now, it's "Our Song". I know, what the heck am I gonna do to top that at the 20 year:)? Scottie is so proud of this song, he wants to have it play in the background of this page. If anyone knows how to do that...let this 'non-techy' know!

Scottie-It's funny, when you let God do His thang, how He can create something so much bigger than what you, yourself could ever dream up! That's exactly what He did when I met you. And you know, "I'm askin' God if he...could play it again!" Love, love -B

Yeah!

So, some friends of ours had to go out of town for a quick trip and we got to watch their younger boy, Bryce! He is a little over two. I guess this is Wes' first sleepover (besides Laney-she don't count:O). Scottie and I call him, "Yeah Man!" Every since he was just a baby, he has always been the most content, agreeable little thing. Nothing's really changed. "Bryce, you ready for nap?" "Yeah, I seepy!" We just love him, especially the face in the front. You can't help but laugh at that.
Anyway, after we took the older kids to school this morning, Bryce and Wes made breakfast for me (Tony, you would be proud, he sure knew his away around the kitchen). Then we jammed in Will's room (shhh, don't tell big bro). We went to the Y for a play group and finally, before lunch and nap (thank you God for naps) we played outside. Wes and Bryce get along really well, which makes the toddler boy thing a lot more bearable. We are so blessed by our friendship with this family. We love you guys!

She loves being a princess...

Gotta love Backyardagins. If you don't know, the title is a song from that show. (honestly, get with it.) Anyway, my posting today is to strictly showcase the girl this song was written for. My sister is having a kinda down week at work, so I thought I would create this for her viewing pleasure.

Meadow Landrey Williamson ...

• is 18.5 mos. old
• is a princess who shows no favoritism to her loyal subjects, except her Ba, a.k.a me (Just kiddin' Mimi)
• loves her some berries and bananas
• looks just like her daddy, (unless she looks up at you and square into your eyes) and then she's really her mommy
• is a great mommy in her own right (as long as that baby is high class)! If you came from Wal-Mart, get the under the stroller. If you came from PBK, your chariot awaits. You really have to see this behavior to understand and appreciate it. That and know her mommy :O Okay, and her aunt Ba.
• is spoiled rotten (but not throw away rotten)
• is going to be the best big sister one day (let's get this show on the road- Barf Baby Burger)
• loves to "clean" (yes, I welled up on that one)
• loved beyond belief!!!!
