Still having fun

This week has been fun and full of excitement.
Darren went off to Oklahoma City in preparation for closing on the new house. Inspection went well only a couple of small things need to be fixed, so it looks like we are on our way at the end of September.

Kids are still growing like weeds and getting into everything. I am completely worn out at the end of the day chasing them everywhere.
Sophie and Dylan have discovered how much fun the dog crate can be. who needs toys??


Sophie crawls in with Matilda, and Dylan has fun closing the door. Such silly babies!


what a monkey!


Temperature is still a nice cool 99degrees :( but I know there will be some cooler weather around the corner soon. Since I am apart of a mothers of multiples club, I can get some killer deals. I bought this slightly used baby jogger for cheap. The kids love it, and I cant wait to use it when it actually starts to cool down.




TEETH LOTS OF TEETH!!!
I was so concentrated on the lower gums looking for teeth that I almost missed the huge teeth coming in at the top. Dylan has these two front teeth coming in, and just today I saw one poking thru on the bottom. Now I know why the poor kid is so grumpy!

Still just the one for sophie!

Sad news for Matilda, It is official she has been diagnosed with idiopathic epilepsy. She has had 2 seizures in the last 2 weeks. :(
The vet thinks that it was probably brought on by the stress of moving around and being in new environments. The vet hopes that things will calm down once we actually settle down in our new home. Meanwhile he told us to try to keep Matilda calm.....YEAH RIGHT, guess he doesn't know matilda like we do!!
Crazy MATILDA---luv you and your sloppy kisses.


Hate to end on a sad note but this week I also lost a coworker to breast cancer. I am thinking of her and her family. She was an amazing nurse and even more amazing person. She will truly be missed. I will be going to her services on friday. :(

Hugs and Kisses to EVERYONE!!

insanity in the apartment

oklahoma bound

So I can finally share what has been going on here at the Williams household. We are relocating to Oklahoma...Oklahoma City to be more exact. I had some very mixed feelings about this move. I was sad and cried, actually I cried a lot but only because I spent time and energy and love building our house in Sugarland, and the POOL!!!) I kept thinking of all of the friends we would be leaving behind, my job which I love, and of course my 2nd in command nanny josiephine. I guess when Darren came home with the news so many changes were happening, I was saying goodbye to our old house, dylan and sophie are growing so fast (crawling, getting teeth, their 1st birthday around the corner) things just seemed to be spinning out of control and there was no way to stop it. I’m a control freak!! I had a couple of pity party days.

Then when we actually went up to OKC for a visit, it wasn’t this horrible place I had envisioned. We found a really nice house; everyone we met was so nice. There are actually seasons (spring summer winter and fall), not like here in Houston where it goes from HOT SUMMER to ICE WINTER. The kids will have fun in the snow!! Some other good points about OKC - its closer to Dallas (closer to one of my bffs bethanie) closer to mom and dad (babysitter!!) there is a mothers of multiples group there as well! There is a nice hospital 5min from the new house and Darrens commute to work is about 15min.
There will still be some really anxious moments. I have to find a new doctor for the kids, a new vet for the dogs, I have to get another picture for my driving license (I ABSOULTELY HATE THESE PICS), and lots more of things I don’t even want to think about now. But I am a going to be positive about this, because I do realize I have the best husband in the world, the best kids in the world (and the best dogs) and being with them means the world. This is just another adventure for the Williams family. We are so blessed in so many ways, so moving to okc isn’t that bad....we will make it fun and exciting. After all we could have moved to West Africa, Libya or Jakarta Indonesia....so okc is sounding really really good!!


This is going to be our new house, it doesn’t have a pool but it does sit on the 11th hole of a golf course!





watch out okc....here we come!!

my head hurts

So much has happened in the last few days. I haven't had a chance to breathe much less blog. So I will try to keep this up now that things are finally starting to slow down.

So we are officially HOMELESS...well not really. We are living in corporate housing (3bedroom apartment) which is actually pretty nice. The kids love crawling around on the carpet, that's right I said kids. Dylan has finally learned to crawl forward. :) I am running around like a mad woman now. Apartment is really nice, and has everything we need. I will upload pictures tomorrow.
Only one issue with the apartment, Tator seems to be allergic to something. I think it may be the carpet, but who knows. So poor tator was off to the vet and put on scheduled benadryl and steroids. Poor poor tator.
So while we were transitioning to the new apartment we had 4 great guys packing up all of our stuff and loading it on a big truck to take to storage. I'm glad they were doing it in 100degree heat, while I was chasing the two crazies back at the apartment in the cool airconditioning.

All of our stuff fit in to a small 18wheeler and uhaul truck :) I think we need to downsize a bit.



Our old house has a new owner--
Today was a sad day, we closed on our old house on inwood park. The new owners took the keys this afternoon. We had some many good memories there. But I am sure we will have good memories, where ever life takes us

Empty house :(


Other exciting news!!! WE HAVE A TOOTH!!!
Sophie has a little itty bitty tooth poking thru. It doesn't seem to bother her much, but of course she wont hold still so I can take a picture. Don't worry I'm still working on it.

Now that I have to chase four around the house (two babies and two doggies) I cannot turn my back for a second. I went into the other room to start a load of laundry and came back to this. Sophie and Dylan had mangaed to get into the kitchen (which I thought I had blocked) and play in the dog bowls. Dont know if you can tell, but they are both sitting in a big puddle of water ( the water bowl was a big hit with the kids)


I know I still havent let in on my secret, but darren says I will have to wait. AHHHHH its killing me

more junk

So I still cant say anything yet...which is killing me!! But everyone will know shortly!
Right when the kids were getting over their sickness, I became sick so things have been a little difficult around here. But all is finally getting better.
Dylan is FINALLY starting to crawl, well I mean he pushes himself around. He can only go one direction and that is backwards. He is such a monkey. My other monkey sophie, is a girl gone wild. She is climbing and pulling herself up everywhere, it wont be long before she starts taking her 1st steps. What will I do then?

We have been up to a lot lately....
We move into our corporate housing officially on friday, not looking forward to moving 2babies and 2doggies in an apartment, but we will get by.

Movers came yesterday to evaluate how much junk we actually have and how long it will take. I guess we have alot of junk :) because the moving guy said it should take about 3full days. I'm glad he is doing it and not me.


Some cute pics from a recent shopping trip---yup I bought more JUNK!

Sophie and her bestfriend Pooh


Dylan and his bestfriend BOB
