Just a regular Sunday....

Berkley spent the night with Gran, PawPaw and Greer last Saturday night and we went to pick her up on Sunday. It was PawPaw's birthday, so we were doing some more celebrating! Berkley has so much fun playing with Greer and going riding on the golf cart with PawPaw to see the animals at the barn!

MawMaw Merlene's 84th Birthday Party

Not many people are lucky enough to be able to spend nearly 31 years with their grandmother like I have. She is turing 84 tomorrow and we (thanks to my other grandmother) threw her a surprise birthday party last night. She was very happy to have all the family there to celebrate with her. She is suffering from Alzheimers and it has been difficult for me to see her so confused lately, but I was so glad that everything went so well for her party. She was able to hold Berkley and Keely together at the same time. I was so glad I could get a picture of that because there may not be many more opportunities for her to do that! Happy Birthday!!

Birthday Fun Continues....

Berkley attended her friend, Jack Rye's, birthday party this past Saturday. She had a great time! Jack had a "Frog" themed party and it was so cute! Berkley didn't get to jump in the big jumper because she's not quite big enough, but she loved playing in the baby pool!!

Just say no!

I really only have one thing to say about this topic. If anyone ever asks you to go to a Hank Williams Jr. concert with them....JUST SAY NO! There is no need to elaborate on the terrible time I had this past weekend at the above mentioned concert. I had much more fun eating dinner before the concert. My night out should have ended there. Ok, so I will elaborate to an extent. No matter how much you mind your own business and sit quietly TRYING to enjoy a very loud concert, you obviously cannot avoid the wrath of the drunks sitting behind you. Enough said.

That child is into everything!

I have to say that before I became a mother, I did not realize how fast children can get into things! I had always seen these ridiculous videos on the funniest videos shows of kids doing crazy things and their parent's not knowing they were doing it! What Berkley did is far less extreme than those videos I've seen, but still very funny! This is why Mommy and Daddy shouldn't have a conversation in the kitchen when Berkley is playing alone in the living room!!

1st Birthday Parties are so fun!!

Having a child in the family means so many activities to take part in. Even though Berkley is only 10 months old, she really loves birthday parties. We were able to go to my friend, Mandie's, little boy's birthday party back in April as well as my friend Heather's little girl's birthday party this past weekend. Berkley loved all the balloons and fun things to do!

Parker's birthday party was safari animals theme. They had everything decorated so cute!! Parker was so cute when he was being so mannerly eating his birthday cake! I don't think he even needed his bib!! Of course Berkley was all about helping Parker open his presents, and she wasted no time trying them out! She is such a nosy little girl!



















Kierston's birthday party was so much fun! Berkley really enjoyed playing in the water with Kierston! Kierston's party was a first birthday theme with water toys to play in! Berkley showed off her curves in her bikini!!






















Berkley is going to be a pro at birthday parties by the time it's her first birthday. We have a few more birthday parties in the next month to go to before we can celebrate her's! It is going to be so exciting!! The best part of parties is being able to spend time with family and friends that are important to us. We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends and the most awesome family in the world!! We can't wait to spend many more birthdays with them! Stay tuned!!

Our little family

ok, so i'm new to this whole blog thing, but i want to begin with a little introduction to our family.

We are the Williamson's, Chad, Brooke and Berkley. Chad and I met 5 years ago on a semi-blind date (we had seen pictures of each other) and since have been inseparable. We were married December 2, 2006 and welcomed our first baby on August 21, 2008. We named her Berkley Claire Williamson. Since that day, our lives have been changed forever! We are so lucky to have such a wonderful life! Hope you enjoy our little family!
