For those of you that have checked back weekly/monthly to see if I have posted anything on our blog, I am sorry! Our summer got away from us quickly and I am still trying to figure out where it went! J Now that we are back in some sort of routine I thought I would take a couple minutes and share what has happened this summer!

First since the last time I blogged, we have a new sister-in law that is keeping my brother so busy that we hardly even see him anymore, I know hard to believe that Scotty is preoccupied with a family!! It is only going get busier for the new Friesen family as they are adding a little one in February. Wait not time and replenish the earth!

For the Williams' family we have added a new little niece, who is very lovable and cuddly, or at least she was when we met her! And a new nephew, who is going to need to grow up fast for Jake to play with!! He is extremely tired of playing house and watching Hannah Montana with the girls!!

MiKayla turned 11, where has the time gone? And Nate well he is just 36! The older we get the more our birthday's become just another day!

Our summer stayed busy with softball and t-ball for 3 of the kids and MiKayla learned quickly how to become my assistant coach as she helped me out with Jake's t-ball team. This year was a first for us as we were caught in the scheduling trap I remember Aunt Kathy being in with the boys and their hockey schedules! I remember talking with her wondering how in the world she did it! Well this year we found out, as Nate coached Kristen's team, Nate & Amy coached Jake's team (which ended up being Amy & MiKayla or Kristen if she was off) and Rebekah being left in the dust! No not really we called in back up and Stephanie Hofer came to the rescue and help out! Thanks Steph for being willing to become part of the Williams family!

As we move into the school year, we now have a calendar that is full of competitive cheer, volleyball, fall softball, and flag football. Yes, flag football is for both of my boys!! Big and Little! J No Nate hasn't needed oxygen or been carried off of the field with broken bones.

Oh, and sometime in there we study! Kristen is an 8^th grader, MiKayla is a 5^th grader, Rebekah is a 3^rd grader, and Jake is a 1^st grader. Nate and I also decided it was time for me to finish my schooling! Found an online early childhood education program that would accept a number of my credits I have already earned which is a huge blessing, but even more so with it being online everything I do is via internet!! I read, do assignments, and discuss issues affecting our children all online. Which is another huge blessing! Many nights all the kids and I are sitting around the house doing homework! It has even prompted a couple healthy wagers between mom and older girls!
