An Early Halloween Soiree...

Happy Halloween!!

This past Saturday Ty and I had my family down for a Halloween get together.  We're going to be out of town on Halloween so this way we got to see everyone in their costumes a week early!  It was so fun to see everyone, and I was amazed at how good the costumes were!  Thanks for coming you guys!

My mom and dad were a Cowboy and a Witch.  My dad had on a pair of chaps that had been his when he was 11 years old!  They looked awesome, but apparently weren't very comfortable because he didn't keep them on :)  And mom, sorry again that I got you such an awful cape!  But the hat was awesome!

My brother Brett and his wife Jill were a vampire couple, and their costumes were hands down the best!  You guys looked awesome!!  Aidan was Jack Sparrow, and Makenzy was Tinkerbell...so cute!

My brother Marc and his fiance :) Ashley were Mice...Ashley had the coolest mouse ears/nose combo I'd ever seen!  They both had cute tails on too, I wish I'd gotten pictures of them.  Sydney was Ariel...pretty as a princess!

Ty and I coordinated colors...not really but it worked out that way!  I was Minnie Mouse, and I gained a whole mouse family with Marc and Ashley!  And Ty was an old school biker, but that's only one of many titles you could give him :)  He looked awesome!  It was the kind of costume that was almost too believable...I loved it though!

 

Kenzy was so cute as a little fairy, and every time she heard music she danced in the middle of the room, it was the cutest thing ever!

I think this is the best picture ever :)!  We had a family jam session, and Ty looked perfectly at home on the drums!

 

The Marc Mouse band on the left, and the Vampire Vocals on the right.  Am I clever or what?

 

Ty and Aidan made the cutest duo...and Aidan was so excited because they "won" when they sang together :).  What a cute uncle and nephew.  And pink haired niece in the background! :)

Thank you guys for coming, we had so much fun, (see above)!!  I feel like Halloween has already come and gone now, but really it was just a practice session for the real deal!  Happy Halloween everyone!

Landon and Alli are Parents!!!

(3 days old in this picture, and sooooo wide-eyed!!!!)

Tyler and I got a brand new niece this Monday, October 20 around 6:30pm. Ty had been at the hospital since about 8am that morning, but the baby was certainly worth the wait!!!!!  I had to go to school, but luckily little Chloe waited til I got there to come :)  We had fun at the hospital waiting for her arrival...

     I had taken homework to do, but it was too exciting to study!

 

The excited soon-to-be grandparents!       Ty, Jay, Jordan, and Haley staying entertained 

Landon and Ty...right after Landon's baby girl entered the world, I think he was in shock!

We got to go back to the hospital and see the proud parents and Chloe a couple of days after, and Ty got to see her again once she'd gone home...she's absolutely adorable!

  

Ty, Haley, and I all taking turns holding Chloe...she slept the whole time :)

Wide-eyed Chloe!

TYLER T-BONE WILLIAMS

This is a feature story...on my husband Tyler.  I don't think I ever love him more than when I see this picture of him...his pudgy little hands are posed so good!  Who would have thought this chubby little guy would grow up to be obsessed with motorcycles?  That's exactly what happened :)

 

So we did make it back from Pittsburgh, despite having not posted anything in over a month! Things have been really busy, but really fun.  Especially fun and less busy for one Mr. Williams--Ty's already been on three motorcycle trips, as well as a "business" trip to Orlando.  I'm so glad he's been able to do some fun things now that his exhausting summer is over.  He went on a quick trip to Vegas with his dad right after we got home (which was, justifiably, a business trip:), then he and his dad took a touring ride up through Northern Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. They were able to drive through parts of Yellowstone Park, and Jackson Hole; and Ty said it was the prettiest ride he'd ever been on, although it was freezing!  Then, this past weekend, Ty and his longtime friend Jeremy from Seattle went down to Las Vegas for Bike Week.  It was a quick trip, but they got to see a whole lot of motorcycle stuff crammed into just a couple days!  And props to Jeremy who drove all the way from Seattle and back--all by himself!! 

Tyler and Len heading out on their trip.  Ty rented the lovely maroon bagger he's on...after a year of riding his Harley he's finally accepted that it is not comfortable for long distance trips! This one was much better!

Ty and Len at a scenic stop (Ty's pretty sure that's the Jordan River behind them...)  

My biker babe...

 

Ty and his dad's bike in the barren desert... Ty resting at their lunch stop, "Pickle's Place"

Len's excitement at arriving at Yellowstone Park :)  Ty and his dad pulled up to this "yellowstone park" and were quite disappointed.  Apparently there's a difference between Yellowstone Park, and the West Yellowstone Town Park.  They were relieved upon finding the real park, which was much larger :)  Very funny...

The dudes in front of the Teton Mountains.  I'm glad Len is always up for a good bike ride with Ty...he spends every Sunday in the summer looking forward to it!  Thanks Len!

So Ty got home, and we had about a week together, and then Jeremy came to stay (who Ty has called "Stinky" every since they were little, although I haven't been able to pin down why...) Here are Ty and Stinky outside out house ready to take off.  Ty's on the right, in case you can't tell by all the black :)

Heading off to Vegas!

Ty and Jeremy did a Poker Run when they got to Vegas, which Ty dubbed "the most unscenic poker run ever", this was their first stop.

Ty and Stinky at the Bike Week Convention Center...so many motorcycles!!!!

That's right...they stayed at the Golden Nugget.  Classic biker style.  This is at a cool night club they had overlooking the hotel.

 

Ty and Stinky being very unsafe on their trip.  Taking pictures while driving...not a good idea!  I really am glad Ty's been able to do some fun things after how hard he worked this summer, but I'll be honest...I'm even more glad that he's home with me now!!!
