Look what jumped in my bed Saturday Morning!

Chris and Brady have been on their super-duper, special Father/Son trip since last Wednesday. But that doesn't mean the fun stops for the rest of us. Friday night we had a bunch of kids over for a sleepover and a lot of excitement in the process. Here you see Caroline with her buddies: Piper, Annie and Bridgette. They tried to sneak in and wake me up. But they couldn't fool ME! Hee-Hee!

I learned that a bunch of girls is louder than a bunch of boys. But whatever the bunch I love 'em all!

Thank God for precious friends like these! By the way, this post is dedicated to my friend, Annie!

7 Random Things about me

This is for Camille!

1. I fall asleep during movies if I watch them after 9:00 p.m.
2. I love the smell of babies after they've just been bathed.
3. I always wanted a house full of boys!
4. I got Garrett's name from a boy I had a crush on in 7th grade. :) (He didn't even know I existed :) )
5. If I had been a boy my parents would have named me "Jack" after my Daddy's basketball coach.
6. When I first met my husband, I was not really interested in him because I thought he was too handsome and I would never have a chance with him.
7. I have never had a favorite color because I can never choose.

Brady Boy and Charlie Bear!

Father's Day Delight

The hottest thing at the Watkins house is our new grill.
It was Chris's Father's Day present and the best thing of
all is that he hasn't had to use it yet. Riley has grilled several
wonderful meals for us! He and Garrett have become quite the cooks lately.

More Birthday Ballgame Fun!

The BIG 10 for Brady!

Brady's birthday was last week and we celebrated with a ballgame, of course-complete with hotdogs, chips and soda.

Brady has some awesome friends and we thank God for each one of them and the influence that they have on him. The kindness of the Lord is seen in Brady's life as he interacts and grows with these special "gifts"from God.

Basketball Season '07-'08

Garrett, Connor and Riley all played basketball for Crown Athletics this year. Riley played for the JV high school team; Garr for the 8th grade middle school team; and Con for the 6th/7th grade middle school team. It was a whirlwind experience for the entire family. We loved watching, playing, cheering, eating pizza, talking with friends (old and new) and meeting John Smoltz again and again. The season ended in February and you may ask, whatever will we do now with all our spare time? Simple, play baseball!

Charlie, Smartest Dog in Town?

Ok, maybe not the smartest dog in town BUT definately making progress. We love our Charlie dog. Connor, Charlie and I have spent the last 8 Sunday afternoons in puppy obedient classes at Petsmart. And while Charlie is not perfect he has learned to come, sit, lay down, walk beside us on a leash (most of the time), "leave", and is learning to "die" when we say "bang!" Whew! I'm tired!
