An encounter with Stone Phillips...

Anthony and I are away for the weekend. The Williams' came up to watch the boys so we could go to Pinehurst. Anthony is playing in the Nike Cup tomorrow and the Jimmy V Celebrity Golf Classic on Sunday. These are the FUN perks of his job. Can you believe he can actually call this WORK!!! Anyway, tonight we had a Pairings Party on the lawn to find out what celebrity Anthony's foursome will be paired with. Right before we found out, Anthony whispered that STONE PHILLIPS was behind us. I peeked and was so excited to see him! So we saw their names up on the screen and Saturday they are playing with Seth Joyner (former Football player for the Philadelphia Eagles and the Denver Broncos) and then on Sunday they are playing with STONE PHILLIPS!! When we saw his name, the guys all turned around and said, "hey, we're playing with you on Sunday!" He was so great! He shook all of our hands and was SO friendly! I TOTALLY wanted to take a picture for all of you but I felt like I would look like a complete and total loser! Nobody was taking pictures or holding cameras except the professionals and not to mention all the celebrities walking around, this was a pretty high class group of people. I didn't want to stick out like a sore thumb!!! So anyway, Anthony said he'll try to get a picture when they golf together on Sunday! Yipeee! :) More later.....

Put this on the blog mom...

This morning, Harrison comes out of our room dressed like this. I was upstairs. He calls for me to come look at him and to bring my camera so I can take a picture of him and post it on the blog! My boy is now asking to be put on the blog! Hilarious! He said he wanted to dress up and look like daddy! He's all about being like daddy these days which I LOVE and Anthony just beams from ear to ear!!! :)Won't be long until he fills up those shoes! I'm enjoying him being little and want to cherish it for as long as possible!

I've been tagged!

I've been tagged to write 8 random things about myself from my friend Natalie here in Raleigh! Here I go...

1. Yesterday, Harrison came home and told us that this week his job at school is to make sure the light is off when they leave the classroom. As he was telling me this, I started to think back about jobs I had in elementary school and which ones were my favorite. My favorite "job" to be given in school was to take the erasers outside and bang them on the sidewalk to clean them out.
2. I've worn hard contact lenses since I was in 6th grade. Tried soft contacts about a year and a half ago but it just didn't work out. Guess I'll be wearing them until I can afford LASIK!
3. I've always loved Pierce Brosnan...he's my TV Boyfriend. My favorite show to watch in high school was Remington Steele!
4. I am deathly afraid of Sharks! I watched Jaws when I was way too young and dreamed of sharks living in my water bed. Yes, I had a water bed. Still, to this day, I can't go in the ocean without thinking about sharks and giving myself a pep talk about the ridiculousness of worrying about them.
5. When I was four (at least you were thirteen Natalie!) my mom gave me a perm. I looked like I had a fro! A few years back, I was looking at some pictures of myself in the beauty chair with the perm curlers on my head. I asked my mom why she gave me a perm at 4??? She said it was because I said I wanted one! I was FOUR!!! She should have just said no! :) I looked ridiculous!!!
6. I've always wanted to go to Montana. I just think it's beautiful. Maybe one day!
7. I didn't like my name when I was growing up. I always wished it was Elizabeth Anne (with an E) or Bethany, or something more than just "Beth". Now, I love my name. I don't meet many Beth's and most of them aren't really "Beth", it's an abbreviation of their full name. :)
8. I've ALWAYS wanted to be a stay-at-home mom. When I was growing up, I loved playing house. I dreamed of getting married and having children and having my own family! It was hard for me to imagine myself doing anything else. I've been blessed with all the things I've ever wanted and I'm SO happy!!! :)

Now I'm going to tag Katy Schrodt, Heather Judd, Katie Brou, Vonda, Bridge you've already been tagged by Nat, Amanda Oliver, Caitlin Lieder, & Jessica Jackson. I would tag you ALL but I wanted to leave some other people for you guys to have a chance to tag! Can't wait to check back and read some things about you all that I wouldn't have otherwise known! Love to you all! Beth

Thoughts from Harrison...

Harrison: "Mom, Cheyenne wasn't at school again today."

Mom: "Oh no, how come? Do you think she is sick?"

Harrison: "I don't KNOW mom! I'm NOT part of their family!"

NO STICKER TODAY!!!

Harrison had his first day without earning a sticker at school for the day. He was SO upset and kept saying he was embarrassed! :( He wants SO bad to never get in trouble at school. We had Open House and PTA meeting at school tonight. After we were dismissed to class, his teacher, Mrs. Lee, explained a few things about their class and then mentioned that almost the entire class didn't get their sticker today. They were all acting up in Music Class and I guess they did the same thing last week! Ha! :) He said he'd do better next time! :) It reminds me of the time my sister Grace was so scared of getting a RED BLOCK at school! It terrified her to the point of not wanting to even go to school that year!!!! He's not that extreme but he does pride himself in being a good boy! I'm glad of course but just reassured him he has the chance to start over tomorrow and make a better choice! He was able to finally put it behind him! :) I signed up to be Room Parent for his class so another mom and myself are going to tag team together! I'm excited! I've always wanted to be Room Mom! :)

Home Sweet Home

Jackson and I are home again! Yay! We had a great reunion with Anthony and Harrison yesterday afternoon! We have missed them SO much! We hit the Golden Corral - the boys absolute FAVORITE place to eat - and then home again for a normal routine of reading books with daddy and bedtime! How wonderful!

We went as a big family to take Harrison to school this morning. He's been working on his "personal" information at school. He's already learned his address and birthday and has been working on his phone number this weekend. After memorizing each and telling his teacher he gets a House hung up for his address, a Birthday Cake for his Birthday, and a Telephone for his phone number. He practiced in the car over and over telling us his phone number to get ready for Mrs. Lee. After saying it a few times, Jackson said "yay, Hehsin!" It was so sweet...he's already cheering his BIG brother on! So glad to be back home and ONE BIG HAPPY WILLIAMS FAMILY again! Yipeee!

WOW...hospital pictures have come a long way...

Sweet Savannah Grace in her coming home outfit! Doesn't she look FABULOUS in red! It's that dark hair she has! See how the nurses like to give her hair do's! :) Praise the Lord for a beautiful, healthy baby girl!

Pix of Savannah Grace!!!

Finally..some proof of her birth! :) I thought I'd never get this done!!!

The night before...Grant and Emma came with Mamaw and brought Chesapeake Pizza for dinner! Yummy!

A quick pic with Mamaw(my mom) before we meet Baylee's new sister!

Walking into the hospital to meet Savannah

Grace and Savannah Grace

Baylee meets her sister, Savannah!

Look at all that hair...the nurses keep talking about how they are loving fluffing it up before they bring her in! :)

Baylee is such a big sister...she loves to hold and kiss Savannah

Aunt Beth and Savannah

She even has cheeks you just want to kiss, kiss, kiss!!!

Doesn't mommy look GREAT!!! Can't believe she just had a baby yesterday???

Jackson and his new cousin Savannah! He is wearing her hat...he LOVES hats...and it's a little big for her anyway! :)

Baylee taking a turn on her second visit to the hospital to see her sister.

Before you all blast me for not posting a picture of Tom (daddy) with his new daughter he insisted he didn't want his picture on the Internet. If you know Tom, you know how he is and you can completely imagine him saying something like that! ha! :) I obliged him and didn't post him in an ADORABLE picture of him reading books to Baylee and Jackson. If you'd like to see it, just email me and I'll email it to you! :)

My week with Baylee and Jackson so far....

This has been so much fun being here in VA to take care of Baylee and meet Savannah Grace! I had hoped to get pictures sooner but I forgot the right equipment to make that easy on myself...had to go to my mom's, email all the pix to myself, then save them on Tom's computer so I could BLOG! It's not like I've had time to do it anyway until now! I'm sitting in a completely quiet house with two sleeping babies...HEAVEN!!! Baylee and Jackson have been incredible. They play well AND obey well. I've been so proud of them. They are developing the cutest little friendship and it's been so much fun for me to spend one on one time with Baylee. How priceless!!! It has opened my eyes a bit and I just want to give a shout out to all the mothers out here with multiples!!! I've had a glimpse into your life and I just think you guys are amazing! I think the most difficult thing I've experienced is getting in the car. I've learned the art of multi-tasking with my own children and I feel I do a pretty good job! It's completely different with two who are TWO! One is not older than the other so they don't know how to help mommy or understand the dangers that abound while trying to hook the other one in the car seat. I've had a few panic attacks in the parking lots but besides that, everything has just gone beautifully! I'm so thankful to the Lord for Anthony who works SO hard so I can stay home with my children and have opportunities to do things like I've done this week. He's been so gracious to let me take off and leave he and Harrison and help take care of my sister's family! What a wonderful husband he is! This has been the most rewarding week and I wouldn't trade it for anything!

Savannah Grace is here!!!

Well, my new little niece is here! Savannah Grace Mullen is her name! yay!!! Grace had her c-section this morning and Savannah Grace was born at 8:10am. She was 7lbs 5oz, 20 1/2 inches long, and has jet black wavy hair...and when I say hair...I mean hair! Remember Anderson Judd and Madison Mannix anyone??? That's what I'm talking about! She can start wearing barrettes tomorrow if she and mom would like! Too cute! I got the privilege to take Baylee to meet her new sister. She did not want to have much to do with her for the first 45 min. but she warmed up and was giving out hugs and kisses there after! She's going to make a GREAT big sister! Mommy and baby are doing well. Savannah looks like she is going to be quite the little eater! Yipeee!! I'm so happy I can be here to see her first days and help take care of Baylee! She and Jackson are having a blast getting to spend so much time together and I'm starting to understand what it must be like to have twin 2 year-olds! :) I have pictures but will have to find a computer to use to load them. My camera won't hook up to Tom's computer, I didn't bring the right equipment so STAY TUNED! These are fun times!!! Jackson and I are looking forward to our week filled with visiting cousins and friends. Miss you Harrison and Daddy and wish you were here with us to celebrate with everyone!
