It has been a while.....

Last little while has been crazy at the Watson home. Hopefully now I will be able update the blog on whats happening more often. Both of us are going to school and working full time so we look forward to the weekends to be together.

We recently had dinner with my family on the Sunday before Halloween. Everyone was there: Mom, Dad, John, Jordan & Kat. It was the usual family Sunday dinner and at my parents house. After dinner we decided to break out good old scrabble and play. My dad was trying to send an email to his cousin that night and would only come in the room on his turn. I kept trying to get him to come back in to play, but he was concentrated on getting his email done. I was running out of room so finally on my next turn this is what I put down (its on the left side of the board):

We then made took a one-z (however you spell it) and used material letters to spell out DA Bears since Brian's family are fans of the Chicago Bears. We took the one-z up to his parents house and said that I had got a new Bears shirt, but didn't think it would fit for a while and showed them. Haha, it has been hard keeping it a secret for as long as we did. We found out we are pregnant on September 23rd and didn't want to tell anyone til we were past a good part of the risk of a miscarriage. After that we wanted to keep it a secret for a while between us and our families until we new for sure it was going to be okay, but since it is my parents first grand child it was really hard to keep it a secret for long. We were cutting out pumpkins with my parents and my dad went and got an image of the computer to carve and wouldn't show Brian and I until it was done and it was a Stork! At first they were going to put it on their porch and see what the neighbors say (for those who don't know we live on the same block as my parents and are in the same ward as where I grew up in so we are pretty close with the neighbors). We decided rather than have it there at my parents house, to put it on our porch to let the news out. My parents told the neighbors to go see our pumpkins and that we had a "puzzle". It was a fun way to tlel everyone that we are expecting. Here are pictures of our pumpkins:

We are so exicted for this news and can't wait to find out whether it is going to be a boy or a girl. We are due May 19th, 2010!

Brian's Mission Buddies

A family from Brian's mission was in town and they got the guys(elders) from the mission together for ice cream. It was fun to see them together, we need to get them together more often! Sister V. as the guys call her was their mission mom. She always was watching over them and giving the moms back home info on how their sons were doing. They are such a great family and it was fun to see them while they were in town!

Alpine Slide

Haha so we decided to take a little trip up to Park City after work and go down the alpine slide. It was fun to have a little get a way from the usual and go have some fun! Here are a couple of pictures. When I got close to the end a ground hog came out of its hole, right next to my slide and almost ran across my slide.....yes it made me scream, cause I wouldn't want to hit the little guy, not that screaming helps, it just scared me...haha it was a fun date!

Summer is over.....

School starts this next week and so we are trying to gear up for it. I wish summer where school was only for three months and summer was for the rest of the year. It is my favorite time of year and it pretty much done. Here are somethings we have been doing lately to take full advantage of the summertime!

Brian is teaching me how to golf....I may not be the best student but I did get out of a sand trap on the first swing with flying colors! I got with in a yard of the hole!Mini golfing with the Bements, I pretty much wasted Brian by being 6 strokes ahead not to mention the 3 hole in ones that I had, I guess if your good at real golf your not too good at mini golf.....haha it was my night!

Stake Lagoon Day 2009 we talked my dad into joining us on the sky coaster. It was cool cause they let John and my Dad go at the same time as me and Bri. So we all fell at the same time. The Skycoaster is for sure something you should do if going to lagoon! We also had a sleepover with our niece and nephew Riley and Kayden. We went swimming with them and then watched movies with popcorn. They love playing with our dog Rookie and can't wait for a dog of their own someday! I took this picture while they were watching Sat morning cartoons, yes, all three were watching the cartoons....our dog thinks she's human haha!

THE FRAY

Next to Yellowcard the Fray is one of my favorite bands and we got to go to a sweet outdoor concert with Brian's best friend Kyller and his girl Heather. It was a relaxed concert and it was great to be out on blankets to just hang out and listen to good music. The only down side to the concert was these two girls who stood up the entire time in the grass section right in front of us. Heather was so brave and went down there and asked them if they could sit down and they said that they could do whatever they wanted cause they paid for their tickets.......all I have to say is LAME! Haha it was a great concert minus the two yahoos we had a good time

July Fireworks

Fireworks are something I love and look forward to every year and I try to go see as many shows as possible! They are the best thing about July! We were able to go quite a few times this year and I already can't wait til next year!

Kaden didn't like the loud ones

We both had a kid on our shoulders and I got tired so Brian took both of them on

Rookies first Boating Trip

So a few weeks ago we took the rook out boating to see if she was a good boat dog. It was fun to have her out on the boat she was way interested and curious about what was going on. When we had her go swimming I had to make her wear a jacket since she is like our baby and she was for sure stylin in it! She hated the water! I had to throw her in and one of the times throwing her in she went all the way under and she did not like it at all! The water was part of the problem because it was way cold, there was no way I was going to be getting in there! We took her on a tube ride, haha she hated that too and the picture of her flying is awesome! Hopefully next time we take her the water is warmer and maybe I will get in with her!

Here is her in her sweet jacket.....she has no idea how cold the water is yet!

Brian first tried to coach her into getting in the water.....that didn't work

Next, Brian thought she might swim to him.....which is why I ended up throwing her in!

Lake Powell Tease

Here is a taste from our Lake Powell Trip 2009!  More pictures to come....

1 year down, eternity to go!!!

So we made it a year!  Without getting to sappy, I am so grateful to be married to my best friend!  We have so much fun together and I don't know what I would do without him!  We have done a lot in the past year and can't wait to see whats in-store for us for the next years to come!  I love you Bri, you mean the world to me!  

Co-Ed Softball Team

Here are team pictures from our co-ed softball team.  Our team name is indecent exposure, go figure I guess!  Haha, it is really fun playing with brian and all his buddies!  The girls on the team all are great and have played growing up.   I am improving each game, so don't give up on me yet!  It is seriously a blast and I can't wait til the next game!

Colcord Family Reunion

So my mom's side had a reunion at my mom's and grandma's houses.  It was fun to see family that we haven't seen for a while and to catch up!  The same weekend one of our cousins was married in Lindon, UT Amy and Jake, they are such a cute couple and can't wait to hang out with the two again!

Amy's little sunshine

One of my best friends Amy had her little girl and we were able to hold her and hang out with the new family for a bit!  Amy and Phil are going to be so cute parents!  They named her Taelor Jeanne (please don't be mad if I spelled it wrong),  she had such a load of hair on her head, a perfect little girl!  I am so excited for you two and if you guys ever need any babysitters we would love to take her for a few hours!

Our newest addition

Drum roll please......................its our new baby.............Brian and I made a purchase of a new, well new to us but previously used Toyota Tundra!  We have been looking for sometime for a truck and the one we got, we got for a great deal, and I mean GREAT DEAL, the guy who we bought it from had just purchased a new truck and was just trying to get rid of it.  You know when things seem too good to be true usually they are, well in this case, we were seriously blessed!  We had seriously praying for something that was nice and still be able to fit in our budget.  It would be our first big purchase as a couple, so it was a big deal and we wanted to do it right.  We went and test drove it on a Tuesday night and I have Wednesdays off and we low balled the guy's price and he didn't want to budge, so we said we would like to sleep on it and call him in the morning before ten.  Well he called us around nine and told us he would take our offer.  So while Brian was at work, i went to the bank, bought the car, and registered it.  I had to get a red ribbon to be on it when he drove home, I wish I would have had a picture of his face as he pulled in, it was priceless!  Moments like these makes me wish they could last forever!  

Here is a picture or two from our new addition and rookie just loves riding in the back of it!!!

Trip to San Diego

My cute cousin Kristi got married to her love Joe Packard in the San Diego LDS Temple.  My parents and brother John, Brian, and I made a weekend trip out of it and had a blast!  We went to Sea World, the beach,  and my favorite, shopping at H&M!!!  It was a well needed trip and fun to get a way for the weekend and play with our cousins!  She asked me to do her hair and it turned out beautiful!  I was worried about taking pictures in the rain, but it turned out so well!  

Brian's Birthday

So Brian and his best friend Kyller's birthdays are a the 12th and the 13th of May.  So me and Heather, Kyller's girlfriend threw a little surprise birthday hawaiian bbq.  The surprise part didn't work out as planned here is the story.  I had brian go with his brother golfing on a sat. afternoon to get him out of the house.  I also had dropped both of them off in hopes that Kyller would be picking up brian and drew and bring them to the party....well, Kyller did pick them up, but dropped them off at Brian's parents house and kyller went to take a shower, so drew and brian showed up for the surprise with Kyller showing up a little later...even though the surprise didn't go as planned it overall was a fun birthday party!  Here are some pictures from his parties!
