Canning

I have decided every post does not need a picture. To much work right now. Today has been a very long day. A day that reminds me why I decided not to do to much canning this year with a new baby. I canned 16 quarts of spaghetti sauce, 5 pints of spaghetti sauce, 7 pints of tomatoes with peppers, 9 pints of just plain tomatoes.... Dehydrated 1/4 bushel of peaches. Picked the raspberries... and nursed, changed, and snuggled when needed a baby. Fed 2 little girls who watched way to much TV today and started dinner. Days like today make me feel like a super hero for getting it all done, but exhausted because it takes so much out of me! Earlier this last week I canned 10 quarts of beans, and 12 pints of beans. I am so almost done with all this. And to think I didn't even do peaches and pears this year!! Also picked up Maisie's uniforms today to!! She looks so cute! Picture to follow!!

It has started!

I tried..... I didn't do a Dallas Nursery. Much to Brannons disappointment. But one month was all it took to have Sawyer in Dallas clothes!!! We have actually had this little outfit since we found out we were pregnant with Maisie. Being a girl she never wore it! But Sawyer is super cute in it and Brannon is very much in love with it!! I give up. I tell people I am a Dallas fan by marriage. And now that the season has started...... it will never end!

O No she didn't!

Well I guess it was bound to happen. Addie decided to cut her own hair a few days ago. She found some scissors in my bathroom and snip... bangs! She actually didn't do to bad of a job. Of course I was upset and told her her Daddy was going to be upset to. That put her into tears and she hid under the table for an hour. So clips and bobby pins here we come. Her hair was almost one length too!!!!

Welcome Sawyer Tait Williams!!!

After 10 days of inactive labor I was induced on July 16th at 7am. I was dilated to a 4 when we got there. I got my wonderful epidural and started pushing at 12. Sawyer was born at 12:39. Only 5 hours of labor for which I am very grateful. I jokingly asked my Dr if we needed to repeat the process a few times to get to 20 hours like my other labors!! I loved my Dr. She is a sweet soft spoken women who cracked me up when I was pushing because she was encouraging me in this super sweet voice and so calmly!!! Sawyer weighed 8 lbs 8 oz. 21 and a 1/4 inches long. 13 and 3/4 inch head. It took us until an hour before we left the hospital to decide on his name. Man that part stresses me out! We hope we got his name right. Poor Addie has a hard time remembering it because she thought we were going to do Makoy. The girls are great with him. Addie was a little hesitant at first. She told us she couldn't hold him because her hands were to small. Once we explained to her how to hold him she loves to now!!! Sawyer is a typical baby, who eats every 2 to 3 hours. Nights are rough like they are supposed to be right now. Learning to get us all out the door on time is coming along. He doesn't mind his car seat which is a good thing because of how long we have to travel. Addie and Maisie went to Montana with Nana and Papa for a week after they left here. They had a ball and miss them like crazy!! Mom and Dad where here and helped a ton like usual!! Dad painted stripes in Sawyers nursery and they cleaned the entire house. Mom helped me organize the studio, again. And then there is all the wonderful cooking from Dad! Cassie, Ricki, Justin, and Jessica came down as well. Very fun for the cousins to see each other. It was great to see Ricki and Cassie again. We sure miss everyone!!! Brannon's parents came for a few days this last week. Great to see them. The girls had a wonderful time with them. Over all we have been pleasantly busy and doing well. Sorry for taking so long to get pictures up. In no particular order here are some pictures of at the hospital, dr appointments, and cousins!

Swim Lessons

The girls started swim lessons the firs week of August. Maisie and Addie loved them!! I was expecting Addie to be a little leery of getting in the water without us but she has done great and loves going!

Lemonade Stand!

The girls made their own lemonade stand a few weeks ago. One glass was a dollar. We tried explaining to Maisie that this was a little expensive. She informed us she needed to make money!

4th of July

The forth was a hot, hot time this year. We went to a golf course to watch fireworks a few days before the forth. Very fun with lots of friends. We went to a parade in Melba and got lots of candy! We spent the actual forth with some friends the Baileys, dinner and fireworks. Addie crashed before the evening was over.
