Enjoying the sun!!!! MAY 2012

The sun finally came back! Just in time for Bumpa Jim & Gamma Jane to get a new boat! 

So we helped them test it out a little but and of course all the kids wanted to do was drive - 

Cant wait to play in the lake and get our boat out later this summer!

                                                     Connor can barely reach the wheel           -           while Lauren is a pro           

 First time swimming in the lake in 2012

Mothers Day was amazing and I was once again spoiled!

I got a lot of great gifts including a new camera - so expect much better pictures from now on. 

We spent the weekend visiting family and playing at the park and had a picnic, it was perfect!

Connor once again goes to far and upsets his sister - and ruined almost every picture I took of them. 

                                                       All I wanted was one nice picture of the kids!  --- Finally got one!

 And an awesome picture of Joe & the Kids!

Happy Mothers Day everyone!!!

APRIL FUN VIDEOS

To watch these videos go to: www.WestANDWatson.blogspot.com

Here is a cute video from our Portland children's museum trip 

with Lauren and Connor playing grocery store. 

Connor wasn't so good at it, he stood in line as five kids went by him to check out 

he then just decided to leave his grocery cart in line and go "help" his sister.  

Lauren would check the groceries out, pay and then go put them all back, 

she loved it and was really good at it!

On our way back from phoenix last month Connor got his toy gun confiscated by TSA. 

We got him a new one and this is one of his favorite things to do with it.  

Here is Connor just being Connor. 

This is what he does when the show Choo-Choo Soul comes on. 

Its just a short show where they sing while on the train but Connor LOVES it! 

And Lauren just likes to be on camera.

PORTLAND TRIP 4/2012

This last week we took a trip to Portland to visit some great friends and 

Joe had a work conference there so we stayed for a few extra days with him.  

The kids had a blast and it was really nice to get away for a few days!

Here are some pictures of our trip to Multnomah Falls  

Lauren Loved it and wanted to climb all the way to the top - 

Connor was super scared and wouldn't let go of me the whole time.  

So there are mostly only pictures of Lauren

I finally bribed Connor with some chocolate and got him in a few pictures.  

 Here he was happy because there was a mud puddle he could play in while I took a picture,

 he said the water was WAY to scary!

 On our last day we went to the Portland Children's Museum - and it was AWESOME!!!!!!

They got to Play construction and help build a house

 They went shopping and played grocery store - Lauren's favorite!

 They both got to be vets and fix a sick puppy dog.  

 They even got to do face painting by themselves, Connor would only do it on his mouth so that didn't work out to well (he kind of looked like the joker), but as you can see Lauren's turned out great!

  And with their best friend Audrey 

- they had a blast and so did we! Well be back soon!
