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!

 

Arizona 2012

We finally got to visit the sun in arizona for about a week, got to hang out with the great grandparents and see lots of fun stuff! Here are some pictures from our trip. 

Connor on the airplane - he was great and slept down there and back pretty much the whole time, so glad bumpa planned our flights for during nap time! 

You can also see his bff grover, he sleeps with him every night! And even makes us kiss him goodnight.  

 THE GOLF CARTS!!! The kids loved playing on them and riding them all over town!

 

@ the wildlife ZOO

 Lauren's favorite lizard - not sure why?.......

First Spring training game - It was a night game so the weather wasnt to hot - it was perfect!

& the kids loved running around in the grass

 The second game we went to was during the day & much hotter

But so glad we went, we got to see Felix pitch for the Mariners and Jamie Moyer for the Rockies

It was an awesome game!!!!!!! And Lauren even talked to Jesus Montero.

 & playing jungle gym on grandpa

Lauren on her burro ride @ Rawhide  

On our last day the whole gang with the great grandparents

 Connor getting off the plane in Seattle.  

He loves his suitcase and caused some problems getting on the plane since 

he tried to bring a toy gun on the plane.  TSA didnt like that too much.  

That is a first for us and probably not the last time that will happen.  

MARCH - WATSON PICTURE UPDATE

Haven't been so good at posting on here lately so heres a picture update!!!!

Pretty much the only good picture of them together, harder than you'd think.  

Laurens big girl 4 year old pictures!

 

  

Connors big boy - 2 year old picture! His birthday is on Saturday!

And of course some sporty fun pictures, there would have been more but we brought some mini soccer balls for props and lets just say they were everywhere! 

I guess maybe they were practicing their kicking technique, we learned our lesson. 

And learned that Connor is still definitely left footed!! 

Probably my favorite from the whole day!!!

Happy Spring everyone!!!

Lauren's Unicorn Party - AKA 4th Birthday Party

So Lauren is finally 4 years old.  When did this happen?... 

She is the sweetest girliest girl ever and mommy and daddys biggest helper.  

And as you can tell she is old enough to pick the theme of her bday parties now,

 I see a lot of pink and purple in our future! She is still in love with zebras and now unicorns too! 

She is loving preschool but still cries once in a while when mommy drops her off, but she says its ok its because I love you sooo much mom -  So that makes it ok.  She can write her name really well and knows most of her letters and loves the show SuperWhy and anything Barbie or Princess oriented.  

She is an amazing little girl and I cant believe shes growing up so fast.  

                       Lauren posing at her party  -                Her Unicorn Cake we went to about 20 stores to find

        Lauren and one of her BFF's Chloie (Nickys Daughter)     -        THE PINATA!!!       

 

 

Her Barbie Bike - and yes it has a little bike for one of her barbies and yes that barbie has no clothes.  

Birthday Day!!! Riding on two of her favorites - Carousels & Zebras
