My Baby Girl

I can hardly believe how fast Bridget is growing up!! It seems like yesterday she was a screaming infant!! She loves life and finds something new and exciting everyday. She always wants to go and feeling the way I do...we don't get out much, but if I get her dressed, do her hair and go outside to play she seems to think we've gone somewhere. Whenever grandma Perk shows up she takes her hand and says "I go". Grandma being the person she is will put her in the car and take her to Sonic to get a Sprite Slush which makes Bridget smile! She loves to be pushed on this little bike that she now calls "MINE". She LOVES shoes but her hot pink cowboy boots seem to be her favorite!! She is a ray of sunshine in our family!! For those who know her...did you ever think we would say that?!?!?! She has come along way and still has her moments but brings so much joy to us that we seem to over look her evil side!! She has no idea what is coming her way!! The other day Nicole said "Bridget, does mommy have a baby in her tummy?" and Bridget quickly replied "no, I d baby!!" Good thing she has 7 months to get used to the idea!!!

Bed Bugs

The nightly ritual for Bridget is to crawl into bed with Gunner after prayers are said. She then waves at Todd and I and says "night night". Last night Courtney felt the need to join in!!

Sundance Ski Resort

Left to Right...Aunt Becky, Uncle Justin, Pops, Uncle Alex, Gunner, Todd, Nicole, Aunt Kelli, and Uncle Javier skiing the Saturday after the wedding!! Spring skiing for sure!! Gunner said he even got hot...no wonder he's dressed for a blizzard!! If I had felt better I would've been jelous! Courtney spent the day with her friend Sariah and I layed on the couch in the quiet of the day and visited with my sweet mother-in-law!! Not a very fun house guest but she's so sweet she doesn't care!!

Eric and Jen's Wedding

This is Todd's little brother Eric and his new Bride Jen. I absolutely love her! She is so easy to be around and willing to help with anything. She will be a great asset to our family!! They were married in the Salt Lake Temple on Friday February 22 and yes she wore red shoes which was so adorable!! You couldn't see them unless she held her dress up but I thought it was a cute idea. I was able to make the wedding which I was happy about!! It was a long trip and I paid for it on Monday when we got home but I was glad I made it through the weekend. We left Bridget at home with my sister Jenet who was so kind to keep her. It made the trip easier on me that's for sure!!

BIG NEWS!!!!

So my blog address will soon have to change from the sixwillys to sevenwillys!! Yes we're expecting a new baby!! I am 8 weeks along and holding my own so far!! Struggling everyday to get up and function but the important thing is I can. When I was pregnant with Bridget I had my first IV put in at 5 weeks so I'm leaps and bounds ahead of that! It's amazing I was even crazy enough to try again after Bridget but things are going better so far. We pray that will continue. It's not fun feeling so yucky but I am grateful that I can still function when need be. The Lord is truely blessing me so far! Come to find out my nephew Danny and his wife Kacey are also expecting. She is due 2 weeks before I am which by the way is September 26th. I'll be glad when April rolls around, I should be feeling better by then!! This makes 40 grandchildren for Grandma and Grandpa Perk!!!

This sums things up best!!

I'm sure most of you have already seen this, but it's worth watching more than once!

Sunrise on top of the summit at Sundance Ski Resort!!

Amazing isn't it!! My two brother-in-laws are on the Ski Patrol at Sundace and this was taken by Alex early one morning! Not a bad job for a college kid!!


This is my brother-in-law Alex and my sister-in-law Kelli at Sundance Ski Resort. (both siblings of Todd) Sundance got another 18 inches of snow Sunday night!! They are getting slammed with snow! My in-laws got 10 inches at their house last night as well!! CRAZY

DREAM COME TRUE...ball boy for the night!

Gunner got to be the ball boy at the Utah Jazz game thanks to his Grandpa Williams. He got to be on the floor for pre-game warm up and "HI-5's" as they called the starters names. He received a t-shirt, a hat, and a picture of him and one of the players. Too bad he was a no name!!! He said it was the greatest night of his life!! This kid comes home and watches ESPN in stead of cartoons...he is an avid sports fan!

This is a family FAVORITE!!! I think the more you watch it the funnier it gets!! His accent and the fact that he never hits Charlie or anything is so sweet. Hope you like it!!!

My Egyptian Princess

Nicole has been working hard on an Egyptian project which consisted of a written report, an oral report, Canopic Jars, and obviously a costume. Then today we got to go to the school and walk around the cafeteria to see all the kids and their different projects. Kind of like a wax museum. They were still until you stepped on their dot and then they would come alive give you their speach and then freeze until their button was pushed again. I am proud of the hard work she put forth it took a lot of time. Way to go Nicole... I love you!!

Last night we were all at my brother Scott's house when we heard the news of President Hinckley's death. Lost in my own thoughts of how sad I was for me and my family, I heard my brother David say "good for him!! He's been wanting to die for 3 years now. He missed his wife and wanted to be with her and now he is." How right you are Dave...good for him!!

My heart is very full this day as I have thought about our dear sweet prophet who has moved on to his next assignment. In one of the articles I read it said he was working up until a couple days before he died. It doesn't surprise me, he was a go getter!!! President Holland spoke in our Stake conference a few months back and he told us that President Hinckley was sick and lived in pain everyday of his life, and yet he refused to stop working. He continually pressed forward in faith to carry out his mission here and I can only imagine the reunion he had as he crossed over. Tears have filled my eyes most of the day as I have read story after story of how he impacted so many lives. It gives me a renewed desire to work harder and follow in his example of selfless service for the Lord's work. I feel blessed to be apart of such an amazing religion and to have leaders to guide us through these troubled times. I am grateful my children had an opportunity to listen to him and hear his counsel. I know they will forever remember him and the love he shared with all. He is leaving behind a legacy that will never die. Bridget and I were driving in the car today and we were listening to a primary CD when the song "We thank thee oh God for a Prophet" came on and chills covered my body as I listened and sang along to the words. I am so thankful for the impact he had in my life and will forever love him.

This pretty much sums up the way Bridget feels about church! Look at that scowl-she's mastered that one!! In her 20 months of life she has only made it through the entire block 3 times. Today being the third and she was extremely grumpy when we got home. She needed a nap desperately and unfortunately she only slept for and hour...not long enough!!!! But she did look dang cute!

HIGHLIGHTS OF 2007

Christmas morning our dad surprised us (including me) with a golf cart!! It was the hit of the day. If I would've known he was doing that I won't have done any other presents. Needless to say the kids love it...including the neighbor kids. They all pile on and ride in circles around the block over and over and never seem to get bored!! Thanks daddy we love you!!

Halloween 2007...Nicole the cutest bumble bee you ever saw, Gunner the blow up sumo, Courtney a snow princess-that's a story all its own (my sister-in-law thought she was the Pope), and Bridget a pink fairy. Good times

Todd and I took the three older kids to San Francisco in July it was AMAZING! We saw Alcatraz, The Golden Gate Bridge, went to San Francisco Giants game, went to Pier 39, rode the trolley cars more times than we could count, visited our friends the Hills who live in Concord, and had ice cream sundaes at Ghirardelli nightly!! Courtney still asks when we are going back! She loved it

Oceanside, CA with our Perk cousins!!! 11 beach front condos, 64 people, wiffle ball games on the beach at sunset...priceless!!

Thanks to Todd's dad, Nicole's dream became a reality last night. Our Pop helped us get tickets to the Hannah Montana-Miley Cyrus concert. I took Nicole, Gunner, and Courtney and we sat on the FRONT ROW!! It was unbelievable! I don't think Nicole sat down the entire night. I've been to lots of concerts and never had seats like that. We didn't find out we had tickets for sure until the morning of and even then we didn't know where they would be. When they told me front row I had no idea they meant the "FRONT ROW"!! We had a blast thanks Pops for making that happen!! We love you and Nana

Miley Cyrus with back up singers

The lighting from the stage made the kids look a little dark and I didn't have my nice camera with me. That is Ali from Ali & AJ in the back ground we were so close!!

Ali & AJ opened up for Hannah Montana. I thought they were better than she was.
