Visit with Poppop

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift - that's why it's called the present.

We just found out my Poppop is sick. We were hoping his symptoms were maybe even something as simple as really bad allergies but tests show he has lung cancer. It makes me sad to think Everett won't know him but know I'm lucky to have had a healthy Poppop all these years!

Everyday really is a gift : )

"Jersey Shore"

What a great start to the summer! My whole family (2 Stumpf's, 4 Dillmans, 3 Watkins & 5 Stoners) spent a whole week at the Jersey shore. We had beautiful weather and really had a blast! My Dad with my 3 boys : )

One of the highlights at the beach was riding the waves! Parker, Hunter, Josiah, and Brady are waiting for a big one!

All the cousins-Baby Jansen, Josiah, Hunter, Jada, Parker, Brady & Baby Everett

Thanks for an awesome week Dad & Mom!

Welcome Baby Jansen

Another Nephew!

Jansen Isaiah Watkins

Born on 5/16/10

Weighing 9 lbs. 1 oz.

Brand New Proud Parents: Jenna & Justin Watkins

My little sister has a baby! She already looks like a natural!

Jansen you are loved! Look how proud this Daddy is!

One of them must have said something funny!?

Cousins 8 weeks apart, how fun to grow up together, they shall be best buddies! Mama & Papa are going to need a bus : )

Bathtime

After several "sponge" baths by the kitchen sink we finally broke out the baby bathtub. He was a little hesitate at first but after a few minutes seemed to enjoy soaking his piggies in the warm water. Look at those cheeks already! Didn't take him long to fill them out!

What a cutie!

Kindergarten here I come!

Parker graduated from preschool and this time he is off to Kindergarten in the Fall! Here he is with one of his closest school buddies, Griffin.

He had a really good year and hopefully some of the friends he made will be in his class next year!
They all had a small speaking role in the one skit they did.

Make sure you pause the playlist music so you can hear Parker : )

Brady turns 12!

Whoops, I'm alittle behind in my blogging. We got a new camera and I'm having a hard time finding the pictures on my computer to upload. Not fun! I want my old camera back! (it broke though) Anywho...

On May 4th Brady turned 12! We invited family over for cake & ice cream and it was a beautiful afternoon!

Looking very happy about the Star Wars Lego set he received...

This picture probably looks familiar. Pretty much every Christmas and birthday Brady celebrates is followed by a picture of him happily putting his lego set together!


I made his favorite...Chocolate cake with peanut butter icing. Topped with a Darth Vader candle.


Brady picked LongHorn Steakhouse for his birthday dinner. Ordered a full rack of ribs from the "Adult" menu. However, after dinner we had to head over to Park City and buy him a new pair of shorts, he spilled a huge ramikin of BBQ sauce all over him! Guess he is still a kid in some aspects :) Although, I think its official he is definitely taller than me. I knew it was just a matter of time!

Loving their new brother!

Brady & Parker are just loving their baby brother! At first they had both wanted a sister but have definitely changed their minds. They are very happy with Everett. Its funny watching Brady hold him standing up, he looks so grown up!

Parker came in after playing hard outside to get a quick baby fix then went back out again. (notice the grass stain and sweat head)

They were both begging to be able to feed him. I was ready for alittle break anyway : )
