Watson is THREE!

We had a blast celebrating our big boy's birthday this year!  I cannot believe we have a three year old - where did the time go?!!

Watson's absolute favorite food is cheese dip...I mean this kid can put away some queso!  When I asked him what he wanted at his birthday, he said cheese and cake...so clearly we had a FIESTA for his birthday!  :)

We are so thankful to all of our friends and family who came to celebrate our sweet boy!

I am so bummed because a lot of my pictures would not transfer from my camera to my computer..not sure what is up with that.  Hopefully I can get it to work later so I can get the rest of my pictures uploaded to this post!

What's a fiesta without a pinata?!  We let all of the kids have a turn hitting it...and of course they had to wear a sombrero while doing so!  Blakely was the lucky one to break the pinata...then there was chaos as the kids all ran to pick up their treats!

I love this man!

Emma loving time with Nannie and Hink

So thankful for Onita and all of her help during Watson's party!  She jumped right in and was a huge help!!

Hola Hampton!

Sweet Abby

Since everyone took over getting ready for the party I just took a minute to relax :)

Mary and Mel - so thankful that our families are so close!

Happy Birthday!!

Birthday boy and his daddy!
 Thankful for lifelong friendships and watching our kids grow up together!

Love this family.

Two out of four isn't so bad..right?!

Emma and her grandmothers - she is one lucky girl!


Sweet friends...Watson loves playing with Haddon.  We are so thankful to have them in Birmingham now!

Love having Papaw at these parties.  I can honesty say this man picks out the best gifts for the kids - it never fails that his gifts are ALWAYS the favorite!







Love watching Alan and Watson's relationship.  Watson sure loves his Uncle Alan!

Some things about Watson at this age:
- Chatterbox and wild man at home
- Reserved in public
- Loves being outside - especially helping in the yard
- Thrives when given responsibilities or tasks
- Favorite toys: balls, blocks, cars, guns...this is what happens when your dad is a police officer!
- Protective over his baby sister
- Cuddles with Mommy, Wrestles with Daddy
- We are officially in the question phase...What's that say?  What time is it?  Why'd you say that for? Why is that tree green for?  What did that car say?  What did the grass say?  (huh?!) Questions. All. Day. Long :)
- Loves going to church
- Always talks about our "new house"
- Very sensitive and very cautious
- Our little "old soul"

- Loves coloring, painting, drawing, "writing his name"
- Starts every morning crawling into our bed and cuddling with us...I will always treasure that time of day!
