UPDATE ON GRANDMA WILLIAMS

UPDATE------ My mom does not think she will make it through the night. She has been sleeping non stop, her body is shutting down fast. Heavenly father and grandpa are so excited to be with her again, and grams can't talk, but I know she is excited also.. I am sad because she will not be with us anymore, BUT I know that she will watch over us and protect this family. Mom has tried numerous times to wake her, she will only wake for a couple of minutes, but- I and Chelsea called her, she woke right up, she stayed awake for a good 5 minutes with her eyes open, and listened to our voices, this is what I told her, - grams I love you, you have done the best job taking care of our family, you have been a great mother, a great grandmother, and a great friend, be proud, and don't worry about us. We will make it, and protect our family from above. Heavenly father is finally calling you back home, go- go be with your eternal companion, he is doing the happy dance right now, it will truly be a great reunion. I encourage you all to give grandma a call tonight. She will wake up for you, she needs to know that she can go now. She is holding on to something here, maybe it is to hear our voices one last time, Please call her, call this number 1-208-240-3586.. Call her anytime at night, mom isn't sleeping, so just call and say goodbye and that she can go now. I know you all love her very much as I do, I remember all the fun times we had together, the sleepovers, and the talks.... Don't feel like you have nothing to say, just call to say goodbye... I love you all, sorry if this sounds pushy, but your family. Please let Alan read this whoever gets this. I wish you all could come to the funeral, that would be a great day. but if it's not , that is ok... thanks, ps, I don’t thing that angels new address is right , please send this to her...

Hello! I just wanted to post one last picture from our time in Colorado. Katie and I had dinner with Grandpa Alan last night. As you can see from the picture, Katie took to Grandpa pretty quickly (even though she hadn't seen him since our visit last summer!) It was nice to have the opportunity to catch up. Tomorrow - Kendra, Kayla, Katie and myself are heading to Fargo, ND to see my Dad and family and meet my 4 day old nephew, Kaden! Love to all! Hugs, Stefani

Grandma Wanda Williams

I was asked by my mom Kathleen to update you all on Grandma's health. She is not doing well and they feel her time is short with us on this earth. Grandma to me means everything. I lived close enough to her to love her so dearly. It is hard to know that my mom Kathleen and your Aunt Linda have to watch her pass away. Let's all pray for her to have comfort as she is in pain and pray that she passes in her sleep so that she meets her Sweetheart Grandpa well rested.

our day at the 'beach'

I just posted our day out on my blog, check it out so I don't have to re-post it all here for you!

Pictures of our summer travel

Kendra, Kayla, Katelyn, and I have been doing alot of traveling this summer and have been lucky enough to see many of our family and friends. Our stops have included Fort Leavenworth, KS; Boise, ID; Cheyenne/Hillside, WY, and we are currently in Pueblo, CO. We will make our way north to Fargo, ND and will then head back home to Fort Campbell. We have also been lucky enough to meet Tom's and Becky's significant others - one pictured, one not! :)We are so blessed to have so many wonderful people in our lives... I wish we had more time to spend with everyone, but I will take what I can get! I hope everyone is having a great summer! Hugs, Stefani

More pics of our handsome army men:-)

For those who don't know... Scott deployed with the Army this June back to Afghanistan for another year. My brother, Ed, deployed, with the Air National Guard for a 45 day rotation in Afghanistan. Due to different obligations, always military related for both, Scott and my brother had yet to meet... until they both ended up in Bagram, Afghanistan at the same time! So, I threatened them both (with thoughts scarier than the war zone they are in) that they better try their hardest to meet and I better get a picture of them meeting for the first time! Low and behold I received the above picture in an e-mail from Scott! They were able to meet up with one another in Afghanistan. It must have been a bit sunny because Ed looks like he is squinting, but I was so excited to see a picture of them both! They look great and I am so proud of them both!

Anyway - I just wanted to share this picture with everyone! Have a great summer! Hugs, Stefani :)

Mean Machine. . .Turns into mud machine.

Here is Steve's new toy. . .The Mean Machine! It is huge!!! Just keep in mind that Steve is 6'2" and that truck dwarfs him!



Here is Steve breaking in his new truck. Yup, they got it stuck out in the middle of nowhere. There were there for 13 hours waiting for help to travel by convoy from up north.
This is the ONLY time Steve will ever be able to reach the turret while standing on the ground. Compare this to the first picture and you will see how buried this vehicle actually is, how deep it has sunk into the mud pit.

On a different note, notice their shirts? Aren't they neat. Instead of having to wear their shirts and the heavy ACU top, they have these new, lightweight shirts to wear. Helps keep them cool. I guess they got those shirts just in time.


That was a long day for Steve and the rest of the guys on the truck. But there Steve is, looking at the mess they're in and smirking, still finding the humor in it all.
