Special Visitors and Easter!


So a few things happened in March!  Tim's dad had surgery at the beginning of March and is doing wonderful!  I have been given the opportunity to only have to work part-time (tuesday-thursday) and my new job started at the end of March.  That week was also the week that Tim had to attend a 10 day training session for work in Memphis. So, my mom flew out to stay with us while Tim was gone and to keep the boys while I worked!  We both have such wonderful families and I am so thankful for them and all they do for us!!!  We had so much fun with Nanny and she was able to get Hudsen to poop on the potty!!!  Hudsen pretty much only wears a diaper to bed now!!!  We are so proud of him!  While my mom was here, we shopped, ate, cooked and did a lot of visiting!  We also ate two pans of peanut butter rice krispie treats!  She spoiled the kids and we went to Chuck-E-Cheese.  The boys had a blast!  We had so much fun with Nanny!

After Nanny's visit and Easter, Brian and Erin brought Weston out for everyone to meet!  He is such a sweet baby and we had so much fun playing with him!  Hudsen loved holding him and singing to him and really enjoyed seeing Brian and Erin too!  Nolen loved giving Weston kisses!  We had a blast with them and can't wait to see them again at Christmas!

The Watts' started a bracket challenge last year. We all fill out a bracket and the loser has to grill steaks and everyone else, other than the winner, has to bring a side dish.  The winner is waited on the whole night!  Last year Gerard lost and grilled some pretty incredible steaks while Brian was the winner!  This year Gerard won and Elizabeth lost and Gerard still grilled some amazing steaks!  Elizabeth did make a really good dip and dessert and we had so much fun! We look forward to next year!!!

Nolen has just gotten another tooth and I can see two more trying to make their way in!  Nolen will at least try any food that you give him and pretty much likes everything.  Thanks to him I have been able to get Hudsen to eat chicken nuggets and grilled ham and cheese!  They both LOVE baseball and Hudsen is really good!  Hudsen loves to tell stories and is very animated when he tells them.  It is so cute.  They both are attached to a blanket and I think it is cute!  We love them so much!






Nolen is now facing forward and loves it!

I had to put this picture up!  I was sitting in the chair one morning about a week ago and I look up to see this!  Love these boys!!!!

Sweet brothers!

So that pretty much catches us up!  It has been really hot here lately but should cool down the end of this week!  We have a AAA team here called the 51's and we hope to attend a game soon!  We are planning a trip to Santa Fe with my family in June and that should be lots of fun!  The rest of the time we will just enjoy each other and watching the boys grow!!

Have a great week!!!




Playing Catch Up!

Oh my, my!! I have a lot of catching up to do!  We have been having lots of fun!  The boys are growing and continue to bring so much joy into our lives.  Here are some pictures of the boys playing at home and on a couple of outings with our friend Spens and his mommy, Lenzi.
