Maddox Blessing

My cute newest nephew Maddox was blessed a couple of weeks ago, so we went up to Lake Arrowhead to be a part of it! The blessing was great and after it we all went back to the house and ate and spent time together! It was neat to see all the grand kids on the Watson side there. So we took some pictures with great grandma, and of course grandpa! 5 boys and 2 girls! Shortly after the blessing my sister in law decided to move to Utah! We really miss them, and want them for our own selfish reasons, but they are enjoying it there! Here are some fun pictures we got of the kiddos!

Halloween

I know that I am a couple of months behind on my blogging, but way too much going on to have some time to sit down and blog. So this year for Halloween we went up to Heritage Park to have the kids pick there pumpkins! They had fun holding the animals and posing for some fun Pictures.
We did our trick or treating at our Ward this year, and since I am on the activities committee, I was so busy doing that, that I got not 1 picture of the kids in there Halloween costumes! BUMMER! but all in all it was fun, kids got plenty of candy. the next night my girlfriend had put together a group of us in the ward who wanted to participate in house to house trick or treating, so we did and pile the kids in the car and rove from house to house, kids had a blast and saw many fiends along the way! It was a good Halloween, can't wait to see what next year will bring us!

Happy Halloween 2010

Goodbye Party at Panera's

So a really good friend of mine Alex in our ward was moving to Texas so what better way to send her off then to throw her good bye party. Well any excuse to throw a party, and my name is written all over it! Jessica and I decided to twist things up a little bit, and do it at Panera instead of a house, and it was a hit! EVERYONE who was invited showed up, and the party lasted all night! Alex is such a good friend, and her and her Family will surely be missed. I will never forget that one day when Alex called me in a panic, she was in pain, 9 months pregnant, and needed someone to take her to the hospital, so I quickly left the park, and we were at the hospital in no time! She had never experienced contractions before and this was only her second labor, but being induced with her first one, she had no idea what they felt like! So when we arrived, and the nurses got her all situated, she was at a 3, and in labor. Her husband was in Sacramento, and was doing his best to get back before his child was born! I was there for her when she needed someone, when she was going through labor, when she got her epidural, and when it was time, husband made it and was there to take over! I was at the hospital until 2 a.m. and sweet kyle was born, healthy and happy! The bond I had with Alex set our friendship to a different level. She will truly be missed! Good luck in Texas girl, and don't forget to call us ''hot tamales'' every once in a while! :)
We meet up at Panera and chatted, and ate yummy cookies, and yummy cake pops all night! Thank you to everyone who came, you all made it very special for Alex, and she felt the love!


All of us fantastic girls


The yummy cake pops and cookies



We wanted to get her something, so I came up with this idea to go old school and make her a candy gram! It was so fun and cute!


The back side


It was kind of chili outside, and we could not get the heater on, so we had asked for some help after many attempts of trying on our own, but the funny thing is no one could get it to work, not even the guy who works there! It was pretty funny!

So back in the summer the we were at the beach for a yearly trip, and we decided that we should go camping, so we left Jon and Carly in charge of where and when and it just so happened that we were able to camp in Yosemite campground, so Carly and Jon left on Thursday the week that my kids started school, and we left on Friday right when the kids got out of school. We got there on Friday night just in time to have a snack and off to bed! Carly, Jon and Grandpa set up our tent for us prior to us getting there(thank you so much)so we would not have to do it in the dark! Saturday was a day of events, we woke up went on a little hike(little) close by our site, made breakfast, and were off to see the world! We went all over the place, we saw just about everything there was to see, the Half dome, the granite cliffs, the valley, the Sequoia Groves we shopped, ate, and enjoyed a lot of time in the car, taking photos, and each others company! We only went for the weekend, wish I could have had more time there, it is absolutely beautiful! breath taking, we all had a pretty good time, hard on the kids a little bit, but over all they ha a great time, I mean hat kid would not with hot coco, and making smores 2 nights in a row! I would love to go back soon. Thanks or the fun time guys!

Suprise

so my sister Kelly text ed us on Wednesday(forever ago) and told us that her and Kevin had something to tell us, and to come over for dinner, but on Sunday! So we were all trying to figure it out, so Sunday comes and as we enter her house, my mom and Brookelynn are standing there! What a treat it is to see them, My sister Ashley let her fly down with my mom for 2 weeks! She said it was super hard and that words can not express how she felt, but it was great to see them, we did a lot of activities throughout the 2 weeks, but my favorite was when I took my mom and cookie out to breakfast! Here is a sideshow cause it was picture overload. LOVE YOU AN MISS YOU MOM AND LELE!
SO I DON'T KNOW WHY IT SAYS HAPPY BIRTHDAY I CAN NOT GET IT T CHANGE! UGH
