More Kitchen Pics

Outfits

McKayla wanted to thank her Grandma & Grandpa Johnson again for the darling outfit from the baby shower. She now fits in it and everyone loves it! We also promised we would send a pic of her first winter coat...Todd loves his little dalmation ;-).

New Kitchen

4 Months after our dishwasher leaked, soaked and molded our kitchen cabinets and floors we have a functioning kitchen!  Saturday I cooked breakfast for the first time in ages (you know it's bad when your kids ask you if you could make them pasta instead of stopping for McDonald's).  Anyway, here are a few pics of our kitchen.  It actually is more complete than these but I'm not quite that on top of my life!

Love you all,

Kim

Love to all

Hi all! Just wanted to say we hope you had a fabulous Thanksgiving and we wish we could've seen you. Hopefully we'll see everyone soon!!!!

It's been a while!

Hey everybody! I know I am horrible at keeping in contact with everyone. I have actually been really busy lately. Today looks like it is going to be a slow day, so I thought I would try to catch up on a few emails and things.

I have heard that people are looking for pictures of my beard. I actually had to trim it up the other day. So here are a few pictures I took before I trimmed.

I hope everyone is doing well. I appreciate all of your emails and notes even if I am slow responding.

Love,
Allan

This profile is a better pose for Azul. Fortunately, he is not a pit bull, he is an American Staffordshire terrier mix, so Margie gets to keep him at her apartment -- after intense efforts by many, the vet, the chiroprator, and her NICE neighbors.

Darth-dog Vader. Poor thing. He was quite a hit at the "trunk or treat" for the SEAL kids

Happy Halloween...love McKayla!

I wanted everyone to see this because I am so proud of it! It's a church that I made in my 3D modeling class :)

Proud parents!!

Great Grandma and McKayla

Aunt Michelle and Mckayla

Proud siblings holding their neices

I was going to put the picture where they are holding their own babies but, both babies were making funny faces...so I thought this one was much cuter.

McKayla and Laelia!

Only 3 months apart!

Here's a happy baby!!

The Williams Family - August 08

Who's the baby??

Well Mom & Dad, you'll be happy to know that someone is already enjoying the car seat. Todd caught Beamer yawning as he made himself comfortable in the new fabulous seat :-)!

Allan, Azul and Margie went hiking in the nearby canyon yesterday, during the hottest part of the day. Azul found a great way to cool off in the drinking fountain by the trailhead, conveniently jumping up and landing perfectly in the pool of water that had collected in the basin. There was a group of about 12 people standing around painting the tree next to him (not pictured), and I think they thought it pretty funny that a dirty old dog was sitting in the only water source around. (I cleaned it after he was done with his soak!)

after dinner - John's nap time and Azul's rear end.

a nice-looking bunch of people (and dog)

fun at the Zuma

tough-lookin' bikers, I'd say

How to Tell if You are Mom's Favorite

Yup, Mom really graduated. CSUN 2008. Do we look like future principals??

Wood Badge Award

Safety glasses, even.

Dad Vern Okelberry

Grandpa' Wood Badge project

Dad earned his Wood Badge certificate. After a week-long leadership conference, he had to complete five major projects. One was to make hundreds of blocks for the cub scouts to use in learning bridge making.

The Festival...underserving of it's full name...the Tulip Festival :)

But it is a cute picture of the four or us...well six of us if you include the babies :) Maybe we will have better luck next year. Julie does claim it is spectacular :)

JUSTIN IS COMING HOME!

Hey everyone,
I just found out that Justin is on his way to the states right now! He does have to do some debriefing at Camp Lejuene but will hopefully be home next week! HOORAY!!!

The big day

Ok everyone...May 1st is the big ultrasound day!! We are very excited to find out what we are having and will let everyone know as soon as we know :-). Neither of us really has a strong feeling one way or the other, although Todd has said "boy" from the beginning. Most of our friends and family are guessing it's a girl...we'll see who's right!

Mom-FYI the date has moved up one day from what we originally told you ;-)

Tuesday we went to an American Idol viewing party for Brooke White and Olivia and Tristan were on the news! They thought that was very cool!

Who's the bigger baby?

Hopefully it is a Good Day When You Start it with a Laugh

Tristan: "Why does Daddy have big fur all over his body?"
Kim: "I don't know"
Tristan: "IS IT BECAUSE HE IS A GIANT?"

The sun and the Scooby-Snack

Hi all of you sun-worshiping family of mine. Yes, I know it is winter but, spring has sprung (at least here in California) and I just thought all of you should know that I had another mole excised today. Not melanoma this time, but only because they caught it early. It came back atypical so they had to go back in and cut out more, only to leave me with a wonderful 1/2 scar on my calf! So, unless you want to follow suit, you better start wearing your sunscreen - you are all considered high risk because of me!

So, last weekend John took Tristan to a birthday party for a friend from preschool. I was upstairs changing when they came home. Tristan came up to talk to me and offered me a piece of his scooby snack. I took a piece, not bad, and I assumed it had been a "Scooby-do" themed birthday party. He asked me if I liked it and turned to leave. Almost as an afterthought, he turned back and asked me if I wanted the rest. "Sure", I said as I popped it in my mouth and enjoyed the last of the frosted cookie. Well, guess what? Low and behold, a scooby snack is not a cookie from a kid's birthday party, it is actually a scooby snack - a DOG TREAT! Needless to say, John and Tristan got a kick out of that and I couldn't stomach my lunch. (John swears he didn't put Tristan up to it, either)!
