Bumbleberry

According to Grandpa, bumbleberries are burple and binkel berries that grow on giggle bushes, so named because they giggle when the berries ripen and the bush begins to quake, and at the precise moment that they ripen, they giggle. If you were to eat a berry while it was giggling, you would spend the rest of your life giggling.

Watson’s Fun Friday

So each Friday we try to do something fun as a family deemed as “Fun Friday” and this Friday’s activity was no exception.  Who doesn’t love a little backyard campout now and again?  Especially when it looks like this…..

Tinfoil Dinners

 

Delicious Goodness! 

 

All ready for a cold Bakersfield night.

GOOD MORNING!

Hope you will join us next time!

On the go…

Does this mean he’s not a baby anymore?

1!

Maddox has turned 1!  I can officially say that my baby has turned 1.  When did this happen?  It seems like he is only 4 months old.  Oh Maddy, don’t go growin’ up on me like that.

Our Maddox has been a great addition to our family.  He is so much fun.  He is such a good boy.  Really he is.  He never fusses (unless his older brothers are using him as a rag doll to toss around), rarely cries or makes much noise which is nice while driving around in a car full of other loud kids.

His smile and eyes keep me mesmerized and I just can’t get enough of him.  I miss him when he sleeps and can’t wait to hug and hold him when he lets me.

To celebrate, we had a small party with some family and friends in honor of the birthday boy.  A party full of fun, food, games, excitement, laughter and a lot of color.  It was a great night!

So let’s hear it for our boy!

       

How does the saying go?

You can dig yourself in to a hole?  Or you can’t dig yourself out of a hole?  Either way this sure did apply to Walker on Saturday. 

The kids were all outside playing in the  backyard.  I was inside resting and dad was on the computer.  Then Abby comes in saying Walker needs help.  She heard some whimpering and found that he was stuck.  She tried to explain how he was stuck behind the gate.  She tried to pull on the gate but it wouldn’t open.  We thought he went on the other side of the gate and they couldn’t open it up to let him back in to the yard. 

Cordell goes out and then comes and gets me.  He said I have to see this and he grabs the camera.  Good thinking!  I guess Walker thought he could dig his way out of the backyard through the gate and then well…… 

     

Poor kid.  He must have scared the pee out of himself.  Is it fair enough to say he’s going to hate me in about 5 yrs for this?

Spring Break is OVER!

Are you as excited to have school back in session or is it just me?  I thought that if we kept busy during the week then it will just fly by and there will be no reason for anyone to get bored.  We did have a few days of fun.

Monday:

OUT SICK!  Way to start off the week!

Tuesday:

CALM with some friends

 Wednesday:

I had a Dr. appointment and the kids played at Grandma and Grandpa’s.  From what I hear they enjoyed snacks, playing with toys and Grandpa’s famous Pinewood Lake boat ride.

 

Thursday:

Made 2 dresses with Brooke for her daughter Allie.  They have two weddings this summer and why not make them?  So far they are turning out really cute.

 

Friday:

My sister Kristy came to visit for the weekend.  We spent the day in Pasadena where we shopped, had lunch and were ready to go to the kids museum until little T got sick.  Check out the before (when he was having a good time) and the after (when he puked in the check out line at J Crew) pictures.  Good thing I had a sweatshirt for him to get sick in.  I also thank the nice cashier who handed me a pump bottle of hand sanitizer after he puked all over himself and his little brother to whom he was sitting right across from in the stroller.    

        

 Saturday:

Went to a family birthday party for my niece who is turning 1.  Then Kristy took some pictures of the kids.  Some last “little girl” pictures of Abby and some of the boys so I can finally finish their bedroom.  I’m dying to see them.  I’ll post those later.

Sunday:

Easter Celebrations at 7:30 a.m.  It was freezing!

 Monday:

Visited the Insect Lore in Shafter with our great friends the Devan’s.

Now on to another busy week and more fun activities this weekend.  Stay tuned….

Get Better

This is what I woke up to this morning after being really sick (for the second day in a row) from my guy Walker.  If this breakfast didn’t make me feel better the card sure did.
