2 Peas in a Pod
Yesterday I hosted a baby shower for my good friend Christi who is having twin girls. I will have to post a picture of her "2 Peas in a Pod" cake...it looked so good and tasted great. There's 2 hints that i didn't make it. We had a nice time and she got some great things for the girls.
Robert left late Friday evening with the boys to go to Gladewater. Jenna Bean's 4th birthday party was Saturday morning and the boys had a great time. After they got home Saturday evening we all just chilled.
Today was church, laundry and Emma and I took a nap together of course. The diaper fairy put some diapers on my car at church...could that have been you Hannah?!
This week we don't have much going on. Kolton has his regular check-up with his endocrinologist on Tuesday so I'll blog about that later this week. I feel like his A1C should still be in the normal range for a diabetic. 3 months ago it was pretty darn close to being in the normal range of a non-diabetic which means his insulin rations are working.
One more thing, my sister and her family will be moving into their new house in April. They bought a 5 bedroom home on 3 acres with a pond and pool in Topeka. It has 3400 square feet which to us TX people we think of a huge brick house. I said Topeka remember? One story with a full finished basement....I wish we had basements in TX.
And yet one more thing. We got a letter from Paul Brown on Friday and he is over half way done with bootcamp. He's been sick with an URI and fever but told the doc he was fine so he's still on track to graduate March 6th. He told us to get a "Proud Parent of a Marine" sticker on Feb. 28 which will mark the last day of training for him. The following week is Marine week in bootcamp. His mom and dad must be looking down from heaven beaming with pride.

Jenna Bean
This is the other Jenna we know, Jenna Watson, or Jenna Bean as we call her. In this picture she is talking to Uncle Robert on her 4th birthday. Notice the hand on her hip and the painted toes!!! Love you Jenna Bean.
New Toy
Check out the play saucer I got for Emma on craigslist! I found it for $40 in Murphy...can't beat that. I could have bought a brand new one for a little more but it wouldn't have had this many toys on it! Emma seems to like it and is still trying to figure it all out!

Hold on to your seat.....
That's right...a new post!!!
Of course I can't remember anything since the last post.
This past Sunday Robert, myself, Josh and Emma went to Granbury to see Mark and Gina and their six kids. At first it was sad to see Mark in another church but I got over it. It was good to hear him preach. After church we went to lunch and then went to their house to hang out and watch football. The Forrest girls loved Emma and took care of her all day and Josh ran around with the boys...inside, out, upstairs, down. Robert and I will be going back for a weekend get-a-way sometime and we are taking the kids this summer too. The lake there has a beach area that Gina said was fun.
Josh is over his strep and has been for some time now. He turns 5 on Feb. 2nd and we've booked his party for Bouncetown in Wylie. Kolton is doing good and got all A's and B's on his report card today. Emma is doing great. Still sleeping thru the night and growing like a weed...especially her hair!
Robert and I have booked our trip to San Diego to see Paul graduate from Marine Corps bootcamp in March. We are taking Kolton with us and I am so excited to go! I've never been to San Diego and have a feeling I won't want to come back to TX!
I got a Wii Fit and the boys play on it more than I do so far! Love the yoga though.
I am so addicted to facebook it's not even funny! You can probably keep better track of the fam that way!!
All is well with the Watson's. We are just a normal boring family but I really wouldn't have it any other way!

Time for Another Update
Since my last post we spent 3 days in Gladewater hanging out with Robert's family. We came home the afternoon of the 4th w/a carload of presents and laundry! I finally got our tree down on Monday and now I need to get the boxes out of the house but I can stand to look at those rather than the Christmas tree!
Tuesday was my birthday. I woke up to flowers and a card from the boys. Yes that's right. The boys. They forgot to sign Emma's name to the card! I went to the office Tuesday afternoon and found more flowers in my office and a card from the gang and we had cheesecake...my favorite! Tuesday evening my mom cooked us dinner and helped the boys bake a birthday cake. Did I mention I still have baby weight to loose? Now I have even more after that birthday!!!
Now on to the bad news....Josh has strep. 1 cousin in Gladewater was getting over strep when we arrived and cousin Jenna came down with it New Year's Day :( We figured it was only a matter of time before Josh got it but thought we had dodged the bullet. Last night he starting running fever and had been saying his throat hurt since Monday but I thought it was just allergies. Took him to the doctor today and his strep test was very positive but we don't have to start his antibiotic until tomorrow. Not sure why but considering I trust our ped with the lives of my children, I'll do what he says! I've already told him he cannot retire until my kids are grown because I'm pretty sure there is no ped as good as him!!
Tonight the ladies at church started a new bible study and it's going to be so good. I think it'll be my "sunday school" since I can't find a class I like at church.
This weekend Robert is taking me out to eat and see a movie for my birthday. Not sure if he knows it yet.
Bootcamp update: We've gotten a couple letters from Paul and he has adjusted well to bootcamp. We are going to his graduation in March and I'm getting excited already! I've never been to San Diego and I can't wait to see Paul a Marine!! We are so proud of him. He's almost 1/2 way thru bootcamp. Robert and I are taking Kolton with us so we'll get some sight-seeing in while we are there. Can't wait!
