Great Grandpa and Grandma Williams
On Oct 15th, 2008 my grandmother went home to be with the Lord. God choose to take her very quickly, and we are very grateful for that. She was a phone talker and had just finished talking with my mom when she called her 102 yr old neighbor, said goodbye and before hanging up the phone opened her eyes up in Heaven! Wouldn't it be so amazing, to peacefully enter the kingdom of heaven. We will miss her dearly, she was a wonderful godly example of the Proverbs 31 women. My grandfather and her had been married 56 years, he will miss her terribly. God has really shown him a lot of comfort these last two weeks. Thanks to all of you for your kind words, they have meant a lot.
Children are such a comfort in times like this, Townes was such a wonderful little man! He understood that it was a serious time, and was so thoughtful to my grandpa. It meant so much to him!

Pumpkin Patch...oh man who cares..TRACTORS!!
Just down the road from my parents farm is a lovely little couple that has a working farm. They sell all kinds of veggies, fruits homemade pies, jams, breads. Yummy! Well, it's also one of the best known pumpkin farms. Danny had to work over the weekend b/c of my grandmother's death he took time off, so Dad, Townes and I went. I was so excited to take pictures of him picking pumpkins. Needless to say, he didn't care about the pumpkins at all. There were TRACTORS there, and lots of them.
He is HOW TALL!! 3 ft!
Look momma, I'm driving!!!
Letting Paupau know how excited he was to be going on the hay-ride!
Needed to drive it again!
Looking for the tractor while I tried to get my much anticipated photo with the pumpkins!

When we bought the house!
After some work...
During the work
Finished! Good Job, Danny!!
My job the cabinets. A mistake gone good! I FINALLY finished my cabinets! I can't believe it. I am on the search for more antique hardware. We reused the hardware from old kitchen that was almost 100 years old but I need more! Antique shopping, I need Jody here to help me.

Our House
So I'm trying to locate all our photos of the house remodel. It's hard to post them next to eachother sorry.
Our house, we have redone some work outside but sticking mostly to the inside. The front of the house had an enclosed porch, which we thought dated the house. It's an arts and crafts style so we wanted to orginial feel We took all the storm windows off and opened the porch up. All our neighbors love it! We were excited for our 94 years old neighbor to come over and say that how it was 50 years ago. We love sitting out on it, drinking decaf :) and reading!
By the way, you'll see a new sliding door across the front of the porch, Townes fell off the front porch on his bike so that night Danny built a lockable door!

After tearing carpet out and making the huge hole in the wall where the kitchen will be.
Didn't clean to well for you guys. We are still working on the house and decorating. I still don't know what color I want in the dining room. We have redone all electrial, all light fixture/fans, refinished the orginial hardwood, painted the trim and wall, and installed new windows.

Our kitchen and bath were the worst. I can't find my before photos but believe me not pretty. I'll add them when I get it.

Matt, our good friend and carpenter, really helped me with the kitchen ideas. We are still waiting on doors for the fridge cabinet but Matt built the cabinet to give it a more custom look. Very happy with it, and the spacious cabinet on top.
Our Cabinet...ah...well, thanks the Lord those were a free gift from my parents. Since cabinet can cost thousands of dollars. Only problem I hated the color. So I'm trying to figure out colors. I finally decided to do distressed white! But still in the process, waiting to be able to afford a range top microwave for the hole above the stove. Matt built our countertops, and his still putting crown molding on top of cabinets and some cubbies on the bottom. Danny and I had a good time tiling the backslash together.
We decided to get a big farm house sink and add recessed lights in the new cutout. We also got a dishwasher! The old kitchen bearly had a sink and very little countertop. This kitchen needs a lot of work, but has come a really long way. We also had three doorways into our kitchen. One where the fridge is, one to the left of the stove, we closed both of those for more counterspace and opened the wall up to the right of the fridge. We added new real hardwood to the floors, which Danny and I finished together! I have a garbage disposal with a cool push button on the sink, a great new energy star dishwasher so I'm very happy with the kitchen, just needs to get finished up. We are also putting brick to the right of the sink, it's an old chimney so we want it to look like one. The big white spot is a patch where the old stove vented out! Our house is almost 100 years old!!

I may never finish the song..
So nighttime is when we have quiet time. We read stories and sing calm songs, except this night. Danny wanted to teach him " I may never march in the infantry". He was so cute watching Daddy very closely learning how to do all the moves. If you watch closely when he sings fly over the enemy, he has total boy band moves. We were laughing so hard that he started laughing and couldn't finish the song. He was copying Daddy by bending over and slapping his leg while he laughed. Hope you get a kick out of our little entertainer!

My hands are dirty
I think Townes might have OCD! He hates to have his hands dirty at any cost. Falling on his face, ruining his clothes, ruining mommas clothes. So I don't know why I had the bright idea to buy him finger paints. Slime for your hands, any kid would love it, right? Well,not our kid. He was so excited to paint until I put it on his hands, he didn't know what to do with himself. He nicely asked me, " Momma, off", I started laughing because I couldn't believe he was so grossed out by me purposely getting him dirty, he then was in panic mood. Needless, to say since this photo opt, we have been encouraging him to let that OCD go. He's doing pretty good. He did pick up a nasty bug yesterday, and I screamed "Yuck, that's a bug" he quickly threw it down and ran to dad. Dad then tried to convince him that the bug won't get him. Ah, he was making progress, I hate wormy looking bugs!
What a little water can do!
I was ready to tear the whole deck out, yuck, it was black and slimey. Dad thought it would be a great idea to power wash it first. Wow, a little water made all the difference, who would have thought! Wait ta go Dad!
Dancing Fool
He absolutely can't be still if music is on. Danny hates this kind of music so when it's just Townes and I sometimes we jam to "beats" and he gets his groove on. This video was done while I was driving. I looked in the back seat and he was rocking out. I wish I could have got it the first time, but didn't have the camera ready! Bummer! Since he was really little he had loved music and dancing. Too funny!
Townes and his words
Yes, Townes is coming up on the two year mark! We can't believe it. I feel like I got ripped off, he grew up too fast. Actually, I got to be with him throughout every precious and not so precious moment of it. I'm so thankful for my hard working husband! I get to stay home and raise my little man. I've been terrible at updates and have several videos and photos to show so bear with me. I'll be updating whenever I get a minute.
By the way, you'll have to excuse the MESS in the background. Trying to get ready for the garage sale!! YIKES.
