We're Used to Police Sirens

This poor baby has a pacifier rash.



We had an exciting week here at the Tulsa-Williams' home. Hinckley has been impressing us with his new-found clapping ability; he does it all the time. He also amazes us with his energy and capability to get into whatever we don't want him to play with. 

Hinckley loves Greg's old phone
Greg got a new cell phone because Hinckley destroyed his old one. In desperation to keep the little baby quiet and happy at church, he let Hinckley chew on his phone. That messed up the phone screen. So now Greg has upgraded to his first smartphone! He is pretty excited about it. And there won't any sucking on this phone!

We (Hinckley and Kassie) heard a lot of sirens this week. On Tuesday morning there was a fire in the apartment complex just south of us. Then, on Thursday, there was a police chase through our apartment parking lot. Kassie was just sitting in the living room when she heard a car drive by really fast and a huge crash. The police sirens followed closely behind. Some guy stole a car and crashed through two fences before ditching the car and getting caught. Well, all we can really do is laugh about it! Needless to say, we are counting down the time until we get back to Provo.

September 2026

October 4, 2026 This last week was a full one and was quite eventful. Monday Desi cut his chin open again at daycare, I accidentally drugged addie with the "drowsy" allergy medicine instead of the other one so she needed to come home early from school and slept for 5 hours, and Greyson was sick in the morning but good enough for me to take him to school before lunch time. Tuesday, I had a wonderful hike with Hinckley in which we summitted Mt Nebo in less than 5 hours. It was a stunning day and the colors were out and we had just perfect weather. Thursday Addie and I got to go to a Daddy/Daughter dance our elders quorum put on at the church and it was amazing! We had a lot of fun dancing and grooving to the tunes and enjoyed the treats as well. Friday Hinckley had a swim meet in Provo and beat all his times by at least 2 seconds, and also got a state qualifying time - not bad for the first meet of the season! It was my last week with McKinsey and that went well. I'm gratef...

Dishes

It is that time of day when the house is quiet, the table is half covered in pots, pans, and tuber ware with food scattered across. The car isn’t in the garage and the dog lies sleeping on the blue blanket. The sun lies somewhere back there, behind the cloud over those mountains. It makes some nice gold colors on the rocky face of the mountains outside of the window. I guess it is so nice because at this time of year there is a lot of plants and flowers in the back yard so the gold makes it seem sort of dreamlike. Yeah, I’ll do em I guess. Call it being nice or being bored. Does it matter? Approaching the sink I am nipped by the denting smell. The eggshells, scraps of mango, carrot peel, and chunks of tofu drip in my fingers. Oh yes, the trash is under the sink these days. Drip once, drip twice on the floor. The water in the frying pan trembles, shaking the crusty flakes of burnt egg. Yogurt and peanu...

Almost There!

Tomorrow is our baby's due date! We don't think he will come tomorrow, but one never knows. Here are some pics from this week. School is going pretty well for me, though I transition to writing/reading from doing math for the past two weeks so I am a little nervous about that. The view from the bus just before I get off and start teaching for the day. Usually I am barely awake at this point.  Awesome panorama of our classroom. It has taken a lot of work to get all this stuff up, but it could still use lots more! Here is a view of the front of the classroom, along with our space ship behavior chart and so forth.  I decided to see what would happen if I didn't shave during the week This was the result.  Kas is feeling quite big, and ready for the man child to come out! This week Kas learned how to make homemade yogurt - or at least how to extend the yogurt you already have.  The latest creative masterpiece from Kassie is this littl...
