Who wore it best?


Ok don't really answer that! I already know the answer!

If you haven't met my sister/twin well here she is. My sister Kristy and I have gotten to be more alike over the years and this is just one documented image of that. We have the same taste in just about everything. When ever I find a new dish at a restaurant, I immediately let her know about it. When she finds a great top she let's me know so I can get one too. She recently even found a dress she knew we'd both like that she went ahead and purchased it and sent it to me. How many other people can blindly shop for their sister and hit it right on?

When we are out people stop us and ask if we are twins. I had a friend ask if I had a twin sister living in Utah because she swore she saw me at Target in South Salt Lake. She was video taped during a RS lesson for a Enrichment night. When I saw her on the TV I said "oh how nice, that's my sister". They thought it was me. When my kids were little they even had to do a double take.

I love my sister and love that I can talk to her like I am hanging out with myself. Although she lives in Utah and I live in CA we chat every day and all day. I love and miss her to death!

Picture page, picture page

It's that time of year at the Watson home where we take our annual pictures of the kids. It was time for Maddox to take his 3 month picture and with all the other kids having summer birthdays we take pictures of them around this time of year. Although with this new year there was an addition of a child and all the others were a year older, including the one hitting his terrible two's. I don't need to go into it but if any of you have had the joyful experience of trying to get your child to sit still long enough to take a decent picture it's a chore in of itself. Times that by 4 and it's a wonder we got anything worth hanging on our wall. I'd have to give props to the photographer who was wonderful with the kids and had tons of patience with them. He just started clicking away like mad and that was the best thing he could have done. So thanks to him we got some decent ones of the kids. Until next year.....
