On Saturday September 5th Ginger got married! It was such a beautiful day, although it rained when they came out the temple, thankfully it stopped so they could get some good pictures. My sister Kelli and I went up on Thursday morning so we could help my mom prepare. It was too funny, when we got to my mom's house, she had a list waiting for us (because she was at work); it reminded me of when we were little, and she assigned us a list of chorse. Anyway, Friday we set up for the reception. It was a long day working 9 hours to put the cultral hall together, but it turned out absolutly beautiful. Probably the best reception Heber has ever seen. :) We had some good help from generous people to help it go smoothly. My brother Ben is the best brother ever, he is such a good guy. He helped all day long climbing up and down the ladders. Whats so funny, is it only took 45 minutes to take down 9 hours worth of work. Go figure huh? Here's a little glimpes of what it looked like. It was beautiful. Didn't even feel like you were in the cultral hall. Anyway, Ginger looked so beautiful as she always does, and her and Steve are so happy. I am so jealous of her, I was telling Shawn I want to get married again, and experience everything that a newly married couple goes through again. When everything is so new, those are memories to cherish. It would be fun to do it all over again.

.Randomness.
I thought I would post some random pictures and things we have been up to lately. First off I wanted to post this picture of Keely, because I meant to post it a while ago. This picture represents Shawn when he was Mr. Mom. He got so good at doing Keely's hair, he even claims he can do it better than I can (which he is probably right). He really was such a big help when he was home all day when he lost his job. He took Keely swimming every day, cleaned the house, and kept us entertained. We sure do miss him being home all the time - Keely especially misses her daddy but we are more grateful and happy that he has a job. This picuture is one day when he did her hair. Pretty good huh?
Keely loves to ready books to Lydia and Lydia loves it. She watches Keely all day long. She can't wait till she can play and move around with Keely. I am sure it won't be long. Lydia is already rolling over and she just wants to go all the time.

Ginger's getting Hitched!
This post is a little late, but I thought I would post about Ginger getting married. They have been engaged for a while, and their date is next week September 5th, holy cow, I can't believe it is already here. She got her endownments done last weekend, which was so neat. I love going to the temple when your brothers and sisters and parents are there at the same time. It just makes it so much more special.

A Name and a Blessing
This post is a little late, but oh well. So much has been going on, that I really haven't had time to post. We blessed our Lydia Gene on August 2nd, and it was such a beautiful day. I really felt the spirit, and feel so blessed to have such a wonderful family. It was so good to see everyone that came to share our joy with us. My dad always bears his testimony at his grandchildren's blessings. I look forward to those days, because I love to hear my dad's firm nonwavering testimony. We did lunch at Shawn's parents house again like we did with Keely's because our house is too small. Thanks again Jennifer for letting us do it at your house. It was wonderful.
Here are some pictures of Lydia's day....
Lydia was done taking pictures.

.Our Many Blessings.
When I look back on my life, all I can see is how much the Lord has blessed me and my family. I have been blessed with goodly parents, they are the most honest, wonderful people I know. All throughout my life I have been blessed. I think about people in these third world contries and pause to think "why has the Lord blessed me and continues to bless me when all these people suffer?"
Well the reason I bring this up, is because the Lord continues to bless me with abundance. About three weeks ago Shawn lost his job with Allstate. His boss couldn't afford him anymore. Shawn was the last salesman to go at that agency. It was kind of a suprise, and a bit of a trial, but we tried to stay optimistic, we knew that they Lord would help Shawn get a job.
We have some offers on some houses and are already approved for a loan, so you can imagine our heartache when we realized that a house wouldn't be coming soon (becuase you can't get approved for a loan without a job :) ) Well last Tuesday, Shawn put in an application for an Allstate in Scottsdale, and he got the job that same day!! I will be able to quit my job here soon becuase of his new job. I am so excited! Losing Shawn's job was definatly a blessing in disguise. I have to admit, I was getting discouraged there for a while, and I am sure Shawn was too. I love Shawn and am thankful that is he so willing to go to work to support our family, so I can stay home with the girls.
And now things are moving forward with a couple short sales that we put offers in. So hopefully things will start happening with a house soon. I am so thankful for my Heavenly Father for being mindful of us and in our time of need. Again, I look at all the people who have lost their jobs, and wonder why it was so easy for Shawn to get a job. I guess the best thing we can do is be mindful of others, and find ways to give service.

Williams Family Reunion 2009
My family always goes camping at the end of July up by Heber. Shawn and I always look forward to it. We always have such a good time, and Keely loves to play non stop with her cousins. The weather is always nice, and it is just fun to camp period. We got a kids sleeping bag for Keely and she loved it. She slept on the ground with us in her own bag, it was so cute. I wish I got a picture of her, but I didn't think about it. I wasn't pregnant this year, but I did have a newborn (I have been pregnant twice out of the 4 times we have gone. Having a newborn was a little bit hard, but not too bad. Lydia did really well. This is what she did pretty much the whole time....
Till next year!

2 Months
I can't believe that Lydia is 10 weeks old. I thought I would do a little post about her so far. It really feels like we just left the hospital and brought her home. She is getting big and gaining weight really well. I took her to her 2 month check up and she weighs in at 11 lbs 12 ounces. She is a good baby, she just gets grumpy when she is tired, so I have to let her cry herself to sleep. She started sleeping 7-8 hours a night the past couple of days which has been so nice. Here are a few pictures of her.
