Brotherly Love!


Amber finished the boys' 4th year birthday video, check it out, it's pretty good. Amber just keeps getting better. She's got several weddings coming up at the end of this year and the beginning of next-including a Greek wedding. OPA! That will be interesting. Well the construction continues at the Ricks/Williams home. Oh, just an update, we will not be posting video of us plowing through the flooded areas like I said. They didn't turn out very well. This Thursday Amber will have 7 weeks left until she's 34 weeks. HURRY UP!! I want my wife back :( Amber will update the care pages with the latest on that. I'm taking 6 weeks off when the babies are born and we are having a Halloween party at our house. I was at bicycle patrol academy almost all last week and now a certified bike cop. I'm getting pictures sent to me that I will post on the Police Corner. Don't worry, the pictures are coming of the renovations of this house. Today we are redoing some things in the guest bathroom.


The Olympics have been very inspiring this year despite the judges on some of the events. It's amazing to watch and motivational to see the determination of all athletes-GO MICHAEL PHELPS!

Big Truck





I found these in Amber's phone and thought I would post 'em even though they are old. This was taken the day after Thanksgiving '07 when I surprised Amber with "her" new car. Nissan Armada. I know all the ladies are jealous cause Amber is drivin' a big car. It's a good thing we got it too cause our family is git'n huge!! Anyway, this truck was inside and the boys wanted to play in it so I took a couple of shots with the camera phone. I hate the quality of camera phones and life is so fun that sometimes I think I should always carry a camera to capture the moments. The remodel of the house is going very slow now that Amber has been prego. The cabinets got redone and they look awesome! A big "thank you" to all those that have helped and continue to help with the long, tedious process. I'll post some pics of the stuff we've done at a later time. It's never ending! I get off probation with Pinal County on the 30th of July!! Hooray! I won't be the FNG anymore. Yes FNG even though there are several of us. What? you don't know what FNG is? Well I'll tell ya. It stnads for Freakin' New Guy (in the modest way). Whenever someone made a mistake they would say "those FNG's" It was funny. Now a new batch has come to take over the prestigious title of FNG's. It's been raining cats and dogs today and because of the high clearance on the Armada..we went driving through the flooded areas! I know what you're saying....."Of course, you guys are crazy" and you are right. (Video coming soon) Hope everyone had a great 4th of July, the boys did, they went to Heber to see fireworks with Amber's family. She was resting and I was working. I can't take any vacation time 'til my probation is up..such is life. Thank you all for your love and support!!

"'Charity is the pure love of Christ' (Moroni 7:47).
The Savior exemplified that love and taught it even as He was tormented by
those who despised and hated Him."

Excited for School

I think Ammon and Thomas are excited for school. They are running around the house with there backpacks on. They don't start school 'til August, which will be a little relief for Amber. We're in the process of cleaning up our credit so we can buy a house. Oh, we will not be buying a home in Queen Creek!!! The whole world has already moved there, and it's a pain getting in and out of there. Amber's baby shower is coming up on the 7th of June and she's made up this "3 Peas In My Pod" thing. it's pretty funny. We've been really blessed. I'm trying to get hired with Mesa PD, but the process is a.........you know what!! I've had my application in, as a lateral mind you, since the middle of December. Holy crap!!! Can they go any slower! And, every time I get a call from them wanting more information, i feel like I'm being interrogated. Maybe it's not worth the hassle, we'll see. Anyway, we're all doing well and healthy over here. We have a lot of support from family and friends. We couldn't ask for anything more than what we have.....other than a house of our own. I received a calling to be a 16 yr. old teacher in Sunday School. I'm excited about that, it will be nice to get a break from Primary (which Amber & I LOVED!!). It's always nice to have a little change.

The X Files Movie 2

It's about time for all those X Files fans out there, the second movie is coming out on July 25th 2008. One of the best kept secrets in Hollywood!!!

We got a 3D ultrasound done on the girls last week and I have to say....the technology is amazing! Amber will post them on the Care Pages since this blog isn't made for the "baby talk" just updates on the family and THE X FILES MOVIE!!

I've posted "The Police Corner" for those that want to know what happens to me while on duty! It's still in the works as well. We are doing well, just hangin' in there as Amber is anticipating bed rest very soon. But we're done having kids now, as long as all goes well. At least when we retire in 20 years, all the kids will be at least 20 yrs old.
