The Big 6

It feels like yesterday that our sweet little boy joined our family... OK, maybe not yesterday, but definitely not 6 years ago either!  Clark is an awesome kid and we all just love him!  He had been looking forward to his birthday for quite some time and it was awesome to see him so excited! 

Look at how big and handsome he is getting!

We opened presents.  I think that's probably the most important part of a birthday :). 

Cute new coloring book. 

Foam sword!

We also got a package from Grandma Whitmer with more awesome presents! 

Clark is such a sweet boy!  He loves his family and especially his little sister.  His speech is continuing to improve too.  He loves to play and have fun.  We love our sweet, silly, little Bigness!

More Music!

Sandra and Mhari finished another year of piano!  This was Mhari's first year and she learned so much!  Sandra finished her second year and is really enjoying the piano!  We really love our piano teacher, Miss Ashley!  Our girls are so lucky to have such a great teacher!

Aunt Tiffany was nice enough to do Sandra's hair for her.  It was fun to have the scarf in her hair, especially with all of the black that she was wearing :)

In June the girls each got to pick a piece of music that they wanted to learn.  Sandra chose Harry Potter and Mhari chose a song called "Gethsemane."  It is a song she learned in primary for Easter.  I love that Miss Ashley encourages them in their interests and also to be able to accomplish a musical goal like getting to pick their own song too!  I think I'm going to be hearing lots of Harry Potter in my future!

Happy Memorial Day

We had a nice Memorial Day with family.  Jeff's parents were still in town and so we invited Nathan and Tiffany, and Michelle and Jonathan over for a BBQ.  It was a nice evening!

Fixing it up

Sunday evening as we were on our way walking Nathan and Tiffany out to the car we saw an amazing lightning storm!  It was fun to see the light show!  Here are just a couple pictures:

Just a cute picture of the pets.  The kids love them!

Our beautiful Foo Foo bunny!

Now onto the fixing...

Our buyers wanted the attic entrance in the garage to have a door so we had to get that project done.  The kids enjoyed helping Jeff get it done!

The attic door turned out really well.  Glad that project got done!

Williams Silliness!

Jeff's parents came to town because Michelle's son, Jonathan, came home from his mission.  They spent a lot of time helping him get settled.  When they come to town they stay with us.  This happened to be in the middle of packing, but we all survived!  Anyway, one evening Jeff started making a funny face by puffing up his upper lip with air.  Then Jeff's dad tried it and before I knew it the kids had joined them!  It was really funny to watch these Williams' make such silly faces!  My face doesn't do that :)

Talmage and Lorna joined in the fun.

CATCH!

While playing at the pool today I heard Sandra get mad at Grant.  I didn't think too much of it because that's life sometimes with kids.  Then as she was yelling she said that it hit her in the head.  That got my attention and I looked over as she was coming to me and her head was bleeding.  Oh, poor girl!  We got some paper towels from the bathroom and held pressure on the wound.  Grant threw a water squirter at her and the point of it landed on her forehead.  It dented it and cut through the skin.  It was a circle indent for a little bit.  The cut looks like the top of a triangle. 

Because the cut was bad enough I decided to super glue it shut.  Once we got it all glued together Sandra was much happier.  I'm so grateful that it wasn't too serious and that Sandra was able to recover so well! 

We love our little Chica girl!

Pearly Whites!

Clark and Lorna had dental check ups.  This was Lorna's first time to go in all by herself without seeing a sibling do it first.  She did great, even though she was a little nervous.  Her little teeth are doing great too!  Clark is a great little patient and does what the Hygienist needs him to do!  We love those little pearly white teeth!

I couldn't help but take a picture of her with her sunglasses on.  Such a cutie!
