Baby got back

Alternative title for this post *I like big butts and I cannot lie.

Would you look at that gigantic tush? Good heavens, you would think he was half Jabba the Hut. All I can say is that he gets it from his dad.

He doesn't like the feeling of his knees on the floor, so he "crawls" like this a lot of the time.

Bowl throwing at its finest

If I only knew that all they needed was a blue plastic solo bowl to make them this happy I could have saved a wad of cash on their Christmas presents. Maybe I'll skip birthday presents this year and get them some plastic plates and what the heck, I might even throw in some plastic cutlery.... To be a kid again would be nice wouldn't it? Where your only worries consisted of getting to the "good kickball" before the other kids at recess, and making sure your troll dolls were properly outfitted.

For those of you who miss Christmas.....

I forgot to post this. Kennedy wouldn't have anything to do with the Jolly ol' Saint Nick, luckily they had a horse she could sit on instead.

Christmas

They say that the more kids you get, the less pictures you take. I think that is true, as much as I don't want it to be. Sadly I eeked out the Christmas season with only a few pictures to show for it. BUT I did take a WHOLE lot of video :)

This is Levi surrounded by my moms collection of Christmas bears. He was trapped by his cousin Jameson... Easy target I guess. He didn't seem to mind.


Um... What is going on? What are these things you are making me unwrap? Can I go back to bed now? Honestly, you people are weird.

This picture doesn't do the Roy City lights any justice. They are so amazing, every branch on every tree is lit.

I'm sure people were looking at me funny when I was taking a picture of the under side of the tree, but I think it's pretty :)

Kennedy and Levi dressed in their new Christmas PJ's. Kennedy walked around the whole night rubbing her jammies and saying "I have soft jammies on"

Graham cracker houses

It's that time of year again when the Watson family gets together and makes graham cracker houses. Mostly we just eat the candy (check out Ted in the background) and talk, but we did manage to make some pretty sweet creations (literally).

Paige and Kyle

Brays Reindeer

This is Paige and Kyles creation. I have to say it is my favorite.

My little cottage.

Reindeer poop... I am so juvenile

Julia, Ted, Sara and Jessica came out from Virginia to visit. It was so nice to see them. Here is Levi with Julia.

A few pictures from Thanksgiving

Justin and Liz were nice enough to invite the whole Zimmerman family over to their new house for Thanksgiving dinner. We ate, chatted, played games (those of us who can stand games....Not Justin), the little ones watched a Christmas movie and tore the house apart, all in all it was a great day!

My mom is old.

I planned a birthday party for my mom a few weeks ago. My sister Lillian was visiting for Thanksgiving and it seemed like a good idea at the time.... Until mom got sick, and a bunch of guests were snowed in.
Regardless, we had a good time with family. I made a pumpkin cake with cream cheese icing I call it a "chalkboard cake" for my mom who is a 5th grade teacher.



Uncle Andrew with Kennedy, Jocelyn, and Charlotte who is 2 days younger than Levi, but is half his size.

Jeremy, Elena, Kaia, and Jamison are all saying "I'm making a mess" as per my request :)

Playing games with the fam... Sorry Ryan, I had to put this picture in... I couldn't resist it since you look like a giant, clothed praying mantis.
Here is the cake! I made the apple, books, and the chalk out of fondant, the border is Twix and raspberry sticks (which made cutting the cake a bit of a chore) But it was sooo good.

And this is Lillian's masterpiece.
