Coming January 2011!

Project procreation has finally begun once again for the Niles Watterson clan. We are so excited to have the new little arrival come join us this January! The twins have already been giving us their ideas for names: Daisy and Sonic are the front runners:) Very creative. (pardon the bad ultrasound shot; my scanner is broken)

Girls trip 2010

This year we headed back to Newport for our girls weekend. I am so fortunate to be surrounded by great friends. We had a great time just beaching it, eating out and staying up till all hours laughing. (Well, I attempted to stay up, but fell asleep always within moments). What can I say, I'm not a night owl like the rest of this crew. Anyway, it was a great weekend to visit and enjoy each other minus kids and our crazy lives. I can't wait till next year!

Field Day!

Way back in May, London and Soren had their first Field Day! It's nothing like it used to be.... everyone's a winner these days. They have done away with the blue ribbons and green participation ribbons. Which, in some ways is great. No one wants to go home with the "green" ribbon. But, the sense of competition is somewhat lost. I'm competitive, so it makes me a little sad. The twins on the other hand, could not have loved field day more. They loved spending the day outside playing games and having popsicles. I'm pretty sure it was Soren's favorite day of the enitre school year :)

The Swagger Wagon

Just watched this video on YouTube! Hilarious!

Easter 2010

This year we headed down south for a very fun and low key Easter at Rob and Kara's(my sister-in-law). The day started out with Easter baskets of course and then led to the little girls deciding they needed to burn all that chocolate off with a workout video. It was entertaining to say the least. I'm pretty sure Nya(my niece) may very well be the next Jillian Michaels. We spent the rest of the day eating everything in sight and attempting to stay coherent during general conference:) It was a great Easter.

Cheerleader

Tonight, Soren was playing Mario Play on the Wii. As usual, London was there to cheer him on. I was upstairs and heard this from the family room.

London (yelling at the top of her lungs) "You can do it! You can do it! You're the Man! YOU ARE THE MAN!...I'm not...YOU'RE the Man! S, O, R, E, N! Soren! You're the Man! You're awesome!"

It's no big secret that Soren's biggest fan is London. He will definitely continue to go places with her by his side.
Hopefully, further than the next level up on Mario Brothers :)

Spring break 2010!

This year we enjoyed a layed back spring break.

We went to the zoo.

We swam.

We held headstand contests.

We ate at the twins favorite place, Red Robin.

We took London to the mall to make her first purchase with her very own "savings".

We let (really just me, Niles could care less) London sport the same blue sequince scarf and t-shirt for all of it. :)
