Fun Times...

Caleb and Baker with their Great Grandmother Teck
Thanksgiving '09


Bath Time is so much fun now that Baker has someone to dump water on the whole time!!! (Yes....Baker's hair is ridiculously long!)

Just one reason you should never leave your child unattended in a bouncy chair.....on the kitchen table!!!!

What October was like for us....

October, in a nut shell, has been INSANE!!!! We have literally been busy every single weekend....so much so that I made the mistake of "thinking" to myself...."I can't believe I haven't gotten sick yet. I always get sick when I get run down." And yes....I am just recovering from strep throat. I made it to the first weekend in November. It really was only a matter of time. While October has been hectic, it has probably been one of the most fun months of my life. I have gotten to spend each weekend with a different set of our very best friends. From high school friends to college to church friends to family....it doesn't get much better than that. Here is a quick look into our world....

My high school reunion was a blast. I have been very blessed with seeing my friends over the past ten years, however, it was great to spend time with all of them at the same time. I think we should have our own reunion every couple of years.

THOMAS SHEDDAN GOT MARRIED!!! Could there be a better reason to celebrate! Little Moser! We spent a wonderful, memorable weekend in Memphis with some of our closest, favorite friends. Visiting with them makes me remember all the fun we used to have. I wish they were daily in our lives, but am thankful they are simply in our lives!!!

It is very rare to have friends in your life that truly know you inside and out. These girls were my joys, tears, laughs....my everything. They made me who I am today. I was so happy to get to spend Brandy's 30th birthday with all of them!


The Stewart cousins are my only first cousins. I remember growing up thinking how cool we all were. And now that I am grown up....we are still pretty darn cool. I love our uniqueness and yet the real similarities that we all display. We celebrated cousin Bill's wedding in the Blue Ridge Mtns at the Toccoa River.....could it be any more fitting?!


Halloween was a blast. Josh and I went as Al and Peg Bundy. Our community group at church had a Murder Mystery Party. I am NOT an actress by any means....and am very uncomfortable when I am in those situations. However, I found my role as the sassy, "forward" secretary who was having an affair with her dead boss and did not like all the other "young" actresses very easy to play. Not sure that that is a good thing! It was fun! We spent Halloween night with my family, trick or treating at Teck's. Baker loved answering the door! I couldn't have asked for a better way to spend Halloween.

Dancing and Jumping...

Dancing and jumping on the bed are daily activities in this household. Baker has always enjoyed music and I am seeing that more and more with Caleb. As someone who has always been passionate about music/lyrics/instruments, I hope to instill that in my children one day. As you can see, we always have to dance with both Baker and Caleb....and Baker always has to have Elmo, Big Bird, or Monkey dance too. Mommy's hands get rather full, but wouldn't trade these moments for the world. Caleb's smile and laugh melt my heart! (Oh and Josh just loves when I sing "Isn't HE lovely!" But it makes the kids laugh....I promise I won't sing it when they are older =) )..... And jumping on the bed.......well, boys will be boys. I figure if I can't stop them, I might as well join them!

Hasselhoff????

Baker's new thing is unzipping his pjs down and letting his chest hang out. It is absolutely hilarious!!!! I love the personality that my two year old displays! He makes me laugh on a regular basis!

Completely Slacking......

So, I have completely fallen off the wagon with the blog over the past month! Life has gotten busy around here for sure. I can definitely say that we have felt very blessed by friendships lately. My weeks are filled with playdates, lunch dates, bible study, community group, etc. I am still learning daily how to gracefully be a stay at home mom to an active, strong-willed two year old and keep my beautiful 6 month old alive. Today, I fished a piece of plastic out of his mouth that Baker put in there when I wasn't looking.....how long he had been gagging on it is still a mystery. Once my heart started beating again, I literally fell to my knees and thanked the Lord for watching over my babies in all the moments I cannot! The past month has brought lots of fun to our lives: Baker's birthday, Dedicating Caleb at church, Wednesday's Toots Dates with Baker and buddy, Cohen, visits with Uncle Burt, and Florida beating UT!!!!!

A glimpse in our world....

Busy times in the Watson household. Baker just turned 2 and Caleb is now 5 months. You can see from the videos that Caleb is an absolute doll. He smiles and laughs all the time. He is my lover child! Baker is a daily joy. His personality gets bigger day by day. He is VERY full of himself. As daddy bribed him with a cookie.....his monkey impression was a little more high pitched than normal! Never a dull moment! I'm truly loving this season of life with my kids!

My Beloved

Oh how often I forget that I am loved.....desired.....wanted.....faithfully and forever! No waiting, no day to day, no empty promises! The Lord calls us his Beloved. He loves us when we are unlovable; He always takes us back; He is always there! His love never fails! I am thankful for the blessing of music that reminds me of these promises.....and always brings me back to Him!
