watch for Donna on TV

Be sure and watch 'The Ellen Show,' tomorrow (friday, april 11). My mom and her friend Valorie will be somewhere in the audience, I'm sure they will be dancing up a storm!!

My favorite Random Picture of Lyndon (featuring Tyson)

For those who have never attended a Williams' get-together - he's only drinking iced tea...
Also, you can click on pictures and they will get very big, in case you haven't tried that.

Yes, she earned MANEATER!!

Here are some pageant pic's, the green outfit is her 'school wear,' then swimwear, talent and pageant wear.
In her division, she won talent, swimwear, portfolio, personality, smile and was the overall winner which named her "Oklahoma Sunburst Pee-Wee Queen" She called her uncle Lyndon right after talent to let him know that she did really good. She asked him several times "you're going to get me maneater right?"

Guess who????

There was paparazzi at the Tulsa pageant, and this picture has leaked out:

Addie

We leave for Tulsa in the morning for Addie's state pageant. I'm trying to figure out why in the heck I went ahead with this......it's starting to stress me out and I think my mom is ready to kill me for not having every thing ready before the day we leave!!
For those of you who don't know, Addies' talent is 'The Presidents Song!' Starts with Washington and goes all the way through current.
Lyndon has been concerned that Addie isn't going to actually sing her song during the pageant..........so, he has promised to get her the movie "Maneater" if she does good. I guarantee she will do it just to get that movie! One time at wal-mart, Addie was looking at movies, she saw "maneater" which has a picture of a lion with blood on its mouth with a little kids tennis shoe laying beside it on the cover....every since, she has wanted that movie. And yes, it is a grown up scary movie!!! Maybe Uncle Lyndon will come over and watch it with her! Addie says it is ok if it is scary because her brother has a dream catcher......I know, she is a weird little girl!!!
Will let you know if she 'earns' maneater or not!!

Let's Regroup...

I don't think mom and dad (Al and Jane) would approve of turning their blog into a political space. It started out so sweet - me quoting Pat Boone, Donna trying to convince us that she and Valerie aren't lesbians..., Kristin's adorable Al and Jane stories... Then Troy had to spice it up.

Brittany - let us know what you're up to these days! Are you living in Dallas? I don't make it to the Montrose/River Oaks area. I'm trying to keep myself from finding out that I'm actually back in Houston. I rarely make it out of the Kingwood/Humble/Porter areas.

Bridget - how about some pics and cute stories of your kiddies!

Kara - what are you up to - don't be shy!

Troy - there must be some good stories that come with running a motel in small town America...

Lyndon and/or Valorie - how is that new den coming? Have pics yet?

We can continue the political discussions under Troy's posting so that it is there but takes up limited emphasis. I think this survey thingy isn't very good, as it's letting Troy vote over and over again for that old guy. So I think I'll go ahead and remove it.

Have a great Thursday!!!!

WILLIAMS FOR MCCAIN!!!!

not surprisingly after viewing the "vote for president" thing on the side of the blog i noticed that a few of our family members were confused about the choices. i feel compelled to point out some things that every American, and certainly every Williams derived American should remember when expressing their political views and making their ultimate choice for president.
one of the primary beliefs of the democrat party is to collect taxes and redistribute the wealth among those less fortunate. what this means to us, the workinig people and business owners of the country, is more taxes.. the harder we work and ultimately the more successful we are, the more we are taxed, so that it can be distributed amongst a terrible array of govt social welfare programs. now, it is important to note that some of these programs are needed, good, and productive. through my 6 + years at the sheriff's office i dealt with mostly people who are recipients of these programs. most of these folks could work but chose not to. simply because it honestly paid better for them to stay at home, have extra kids that they did not care for, and collect extra money for cigarettes, beer, etc, etc. as a tax paying American i have a huge problem with this.
another real problem is wasteful spending by govt. this is common between both republicans and democrats, but historically, republicans lessen taxes on taxpayers, which stimulates the economy, creates jobs, allows the people to keep more of their own money. democrats raise taxes. if you will remember thru your history lessons, our country freed itself from unfair taxation.
hillary is most likely done. she has finally proven herself a liar, saying or writing whatever it takes to reach her goals. that leaves us with obama. although i realize he has much appeal with all because he is young, smooth, energetic and preaches a message of hope and change. the fact of the matter is all presidential candidates preach this message. this election should not be a popularity contest, sadly enough it is though. he does not have the experience or the "clean" background" needed to run the country. there is questions of his patriotism which are very valid. it is too easily forgotten that on sept 11, 2001, America was attacked which since put us in a vigilent state of war on terror. i don't think anybody can argue that we should not have gone to iraq, but we did. fact of the matter is, America was attacked and we were looking for somebody's ass to kick.. and we did... we have got to redirect our efforts to the original mission in afghanistan. should we not have a president who understands war and sacrifice???? john mccain is certainly not the most likable candidate we could have, but he will do the best job, keep our tax cuts in place, retain our gun rights, finish the fiasco in iraq appropriately.
what we all must do is choose the lesser of the evils....for the non-muslim american, the non-illegal alien, the business owner, the farmer, and the employed, the choice is clear, john mccain. i have faith in u all. we are all educated, intelligent people but in this election we must do what is right for the country.
i must now brace myself for vicki's scathing review!!!!!!
