Brothers and Sister

I feel very blessed to have 3 kids that love each other. I rarley worry about what they are doing together and a majority of the time they are playing together and taking care of each other. This is not to say I don't have days when the boys are at each others wits or little sister is not getting in their way and pulling apart her brothers lego creation. We are a normal family and have good days and bad. I'm just happy I have more good and less bad. :-)

Current Family photos

Okay, so I haven't blogging lately and I have a lot of catching up to do. For example, I did not blog Cmaeron's last day of school or the father field day they had at his school or the bowling pictures we recently took or... I can go on. I do want to blog about CAmeron's last day of school but now it will be out of order and I hate that. I like things to be nicely organized and in place. I guess I'll have to get over it and do it anyway.
Anyhoooo.... here are a few current pictures of the Watkins Familia. I must say we are a cute family. hee hee.

swim goggles

Chris and I decided to put the kids in swim lessons this summer. Cameron is a pretty good swimmer but Tyler needed a little more practice and self confidence. Tyler was used to using a swim suit with a floaty chest and he would not swim without it. He was afraid he would drown if he took it off, and he probably could because he wasn't a good swimmer yet.
Tyler agreed to swim lessons and off we went to get them evaluated to find out what levels Cameron and Tyler would be in. After thier evaluations, a few days later poor Cameron had terribly red itchy eyes. I took him to the Dr. and she thought it was an allergic reaction. I had no idea what he might be allergic to until I thought of the chemicals in the pool, at least, that is what I can trace it too. So to help Cameron continue the lessons we bought him and the rest of the gang goggles. They had to model them for us here. Enjoy!

blogging

yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, I know I don't blog often enough.

Sunny Day

I think these pictures were taken in mid February when we had an unusually hot week. My neighbor and I thought winter was over and summer was here early. I remember we had a few day in the 90 degrees. My kids felt the heat too and wanted some water playtime. Cameron, Tyler and Mikaela had fun making mud pies and playing with the water hose. Don't worry, the kids played on the lawn or near the ivy hillside, the water did not go to waste.

Student of the Month

Cameron receives STUDENT of the MONTH!
We are so proud of Cameron. It was a surprise to him too.

All smiles. Congratualtions buddy!

ok ok!

yes I need to blog. I have moments captured on my camera that need to be blogged about and shared with family and friends. But all this takes time! It not an easy 1-2-3 task it usually goes something like this.

1. turn on computer
2. place memory card in slot
   
3. look at pictures
4. oooo and ahhhhh
5. crop, enhance and play with other enhancing gadgets
6. open blog
7. think, think think of what I am going to write
8. add a picture here and there.
9. somehow lose picture or what I've written
   
10. start all over
11. kids surround me wanting this and that. Mikaela starts to play with the keyboard while she is on my lap then starts to cry because I move her hands out of the way and say "no no, mommy is trying to blog"
    

I could go on about the steps it takes but you get the picture and I know you've been there done that.
So, this is my pitiful excuse for not blogging lately. Pictures to come soon. I promise.
