I'm alive!

Ok so it has been months and I have been meaning to blog but got so far behind I haven't known what to do, but I am going to play cath up here in the next few days! So check back for some updates and pics!!

6 years ago!

It was just 6 short years ago today that Ally Elizabeth was born into our family! She has been strong willed from the beginning, but always a joy to have around. She is such a girly girl, which is fun and is also full of the drama, which isn't always so fun, but I can't imagine our family without her.
She loves to dress up and changes her clothes MANY times a day, which in turn has me doing laundry a lot, but maybe that's what I get for always dressing her up and changing her clothes when she was a baby. She learned it from Mommy I suppose. She is very sweet, when she wants to be and has just enough sass to drive me crazy, but I LOVE her all the same. Happy Birthday Ally-gator!

(We went to Ocean Shores with Ally when she was only about 2 1/2 weeks old.)

(Ally on the day she was blessed.)

(1st Halloween, Ally was an angel.)

(1st Christmas, look at her beautiful eyes!)

And now she is a vibrant 6 year old!!!

I love you Ally! Love, Mommy

Let's hope for a little less drama than Ally but just as much fun as they all are!!!

14 weeks and counting

So I am 14 weeks now and still am feeling horrible. I keep thinking maybe this is the last week. Now I am officially in my second trimester and thought it would be over by now, but nope. Haribo continues to make me feel so sick. Maybe by 16 weeks?

Oh, and don't forget to take the poll on the right side of my blog to guess whether you think Haribo is blue or pink? I am just curious.

Introducing Haribo

And now the reason for my lack of blogging or even commenting for that matter. Introducing, who I call Haribo........................................................

Seriously, doesn't it look like a Haribo gummy bear?! I am 12 weeks along and have been oh so sick! This is definitely the sickest I have been with any of my pregnancies. I feel like death and can barely function. Lately some days have gotten better, but not much. I am so sick and tired and sick and tired of being sick and tired. I am due November 24th. Is it December yet? The house shows my lack of energy and it is getting to us all. Please send good vibes that this part will end soon.

The kids are super excited (although I am not sure how Max will feel him/her). They both really want a girl but say they'll take either. That's really the only option they have. :o) So I am pretty nervous about having 4 but also very excited at the same time. I hope I am up for the challenge because a challenge I am sure it will be. So for now, I am drinking Slurpees and any other ice cold drink I can find and am hoping the queasiness goes away REAL soon!

Colin's Big Day

Now on April 30th we celebrated both Colin and Spencer's birthday by going out to Red Robin, but since we had an extra special weekend coming up we didn't do anything else, so no pictures. But on May 2nd, Colin got baptized! He was SO excited and had been talking about it for weeks. I am so proud of him and the decision he has made. My favorite part was when he was done being confirmed, he sat down with a HUGE grin on his face and whispered to me "Do I have the Holy Ghost now?" So sweet!! He is such a good example to all those around him and we couldn't be prouder and happier for him!

Max was realy into showing us his tummy that day, not sure why.

Colin was so excited, it is so cute to see it on his face.

Max tried to get a pic of his tummy again, but I tricked him. :o)

My Little Bug Turns 2!

On April 26th, Max Hudson Watkins turned 2 years old! I think he loved the fact that he got more than one balloon and we were all paying attention to him! I think he would give the day 2 thumbs up, well except for the party hat wearing time, but other than that, he loved it!

He was NOT liking those party hats AT ALL!

Notice the tears still on his shirt from the party hat incident.

But cupcake redeems it all. Love the little Charlie Chaplin he's got going on!

Happy Birthday Bug!
