Big Brother Again!

Well Lucas, you and I were right when we voiced our opinions on the gender of the baby because I had a baby boy! I had Cade Palmer Williams the 8th of July. On Thursday the 7th we went to Oakley Reservoir for the Palmer reunion. Well dad and I went and dropped the trailer off and you and Taylor with the family then we turned right back around and went to the hospital. You had such a fun weekend with the family. You were pretty excited to see Cade and hold him. You are more curious this time around. I think you are going to love having a brother.

Who's dad is a wimp?

This weekend we went down to Idaho Falls so Steve and I could go through the temple with Kolton who is getting ready to go on a mission to the Phillipines. We had a fun weekend jam packed with lots of things to do. We went to the zoo and played with cousins. Whenever we go up there I don't see you most of the time because you are so busy playing with cousins. You liked the zoo and the map of the zoo. You are fascinated with maps right now.
Today at church you were a little nervous to go to your primary class so dad went with you. During singing time they we singing "Nephi's Courage." The leader asked everyone so "who's dad is a wimp?" You finally feeling confident raise your hand high in the air and say "Mine is!!!" All the adults and dad started laughing and that brought on the tears because you were embarrassed. After hearing the story I felt bad that you were sad but thought it was a pretty funny, looks like we need to discuss the definition of a wimp;)

Easter and Tay's B-day

This whole month for FHE we have been focusing on the Resurrection and trying to help you understand the real meaning of Easter. You have done really well and understand the basics that Jesus died, he was put in a cave( easy way for you to understand) and came back to life after 3 days. I hope you continue to grow in the gospel and learn the really important reasons of special holidays.
This past week has been incredibly busy! We celebrated Tay's birthday last Thursday and you were a really good sport. That Friday we went camping at Salmon Falls with Grandpa and Grandma Palmer and Ryan and his family. Recently dad got you your own real hiking backpack so you could get used to packing your own bag when we go places and having a good pack that you could hike with. It was fun to see you excited to have your own bag and be so excited to pack your own things. We got at the camping spot around late morning Friday. We did quite a bit of fishing and you did a lot of exploring. One thing you did many times was "go on a hike up the mountain." Sometimes you would go by yourself and other times Cache would come with you. That makes me excited to see that interest in you! Later that evening Dad came up. He got a new smaller tent and wanted to try it out you decided to sleep in there with him and did great! It was a lot of fun to get outdoors away from the house for a while and be with family. You love being with family and having places to explore.When we got home Saturday Grandma Williams stopped by with kelly on their way home from Boise. She brought Tay some presents and also brought you one which was a thomas the train book. You were so excited to get a present and love the new book.
This Sunday we had Stake Conference and then we loaded up and went to Jeremy's house in Oakley for the family Easter party. We had a big egg hunt and you were so excited for it. When we were hiding the eggs, every time I would look over towards the house I would see your little head either peaking behind the door or out the window. You knew what to do this year and filled your bucket full.
A fun thing that you do right now is play the present game. You take a dish towel and go and find something, usually something you really like;), and give it to me or dad as a present. Then it is our turn to go find something and wrap it to give to you. I think all this talk of presents and having Taylor's birthday inspired this latest game:). Love you!

First Talk in Primary

You gave your first talk in Primary today on "How Jesus Christ is the perfect example for me." You took a nap during sacrament meeting so I was a little nervous you wouldn't be too happy to give your talk but you got right up there, talked in the microphone and did really well! It's crazy to think you are really old enough to be doing this. Real proud of you buddy!

After staying with Staci's girls for a week I think you learned some new things:) The other day I told you, you couldn't do something and you said "Fine!!! You're not my best friend anymore!" It was so funny because I have never heard you talk about best friends before. Later on we talked how you can have more than one best friend at a time and you liked that idea.




Last night 3/21 you were downstairs with daddy in the pantry and was standing on an empty bucket. You fell and head planted on the ground. You cried downstairs for a while and dad was trying to comfort you. You came up a couple minutes later and had a huge goose egg on your eyebrow. I was not expecting it and when I looked at it I actually got really dizzy! Geesh I know how lame is that! I tried to get you to ice it but you thought of course it was going to hurt you more so you would not have that. Today your eye is pretty swollen but not too bad, we will see if it darkens up after a couple of days:)

This weekend we moved your train set downstairs. Daddy went down with you to help ease you into the transition. You have done well so far and have even gone down by yourself a couple of times.(02-03-11)




It is hard to believe you are four! We celebrated your birthday the weekend after we got back from our trip to Hawaii. We felt pretty bad for not being there on the actual day of your birthday. Staci and her family had a big party for you though and it sounds like you loved it. You were always saying how you wanted two birthdays this year and you did have two. You wanted at Polar Express cake but still liked the tunnel train cake I made. We also had magic candles so everyone got to blow some out. Some of Staci's girls stayed over the night before and were there to celebrate along with Grandpa and Grandma Williams and some more nieces from Idaho Falls. You got some new track and a new train with a remote. You later also got a Thomas shirt from grandma Palmer that you love and want to wear every chance you get.It was a fun filled day and you had lots of fun playing with your cousins.

Jan2011

It's hard to believe another year has come and gone. One Saturday morning when i was teaching Jazzercise, dad woke up and couldn't find you. He ended up finding you in the kitchen closet in the dark shoveling ice cream in your mouth and fast as you could. It was hilarious. Speaking of sweets you usually ask every morning if you can have a cookie,ice cream or some other treat for breakfast. I think if you keep on asking that one day it will happen. :)
The new year brought on a big change for you at church. It is still weird to think that you are in primary and not in nursery. You are adjusting ok. You still ask to go to nursery and play. You are getting better though and it helps that all your friends are in class with you.
Everyday you get our your train box and build a track in the living room. You are becoming quite the builder and get creative with your designs. Taylor is right there with you and usually end up taking apart your trains or track. You try to be patient but she makes it difficult.:)
