April...

April has been such a busy month!   We have LOVED spending time outside with the beautiful spring weather, and praise the Lord Emma's breathing has done well despite the massive amounts of pollen!  I was really worried about how she would do at the beginning of spring, so I am extremely thankful for how well she has done. 


Watson started swim lessons this month and is doing surprisingly well!  I really wasn't sure how he would do considering last year he took a LONG time to warm up to the water each time we went to the pool, but he has done great!  There may be bribes discussed on the way each time, but hey...it seems to work :)


 I was able to get away for a few days and go to the beach with two friends.  Kitty's parents have a house on 30A, so we were thrilled to join her!  It was such a nice, relaxing and fun trip!  It rained for the majority of our time there, but we made the most of it and had a blast.  I am very thankful for the friendship I have with Paige and Kitty...the Lord has truly been faithful in providing some great friendships in my life over the past year. 


Watson has also been playing soccer this season through the Y.  I'd be lying if I said he likes it, but I hope it's a good experience for him regardless :)  Graham is the coach, so Watson just wants to be "Coach Daddy" during the game.  He does great at practice, but as soon as it is game time and they line up across from the other team, he shuts down and is done.  D.O.N.E. done.  He is a year younger than most of the other kids on his team, so I am hoping that he will gain some interest before next year.  If not, then we will just try to get him involved in something else! 

 

My dear friend Mollie Ann will be welcoming a baby into her family soon, so my friends and I had the honor of throwing her a baby shower!  She is going to be the best mommy - I cannot wait to meet their sweet baby girl!


Watson has a summer birthday, so he was able to celebrate his birthday early with his class at school!  He was PUMPED about this - I mean, SO excited!  He kept saying, "I get TWO birthdays, Mommy?!"


Here are a few other pictures from the month...

Mom got Watson this Police Officer outfit.  He LOVES it!  He will seriously wear it around the house all day, every day putting all of us in jail and writing us tickets.  It is pretty obvious that he has a police officer daddy :)


Cousins and best friends!

I will never be able to thank my mom for all she does around our house.  One day this month she came over to help me spread pine straw and clean up the shrubs and trees in our backyard.  She is truly the BEST!


This boy...love him, love him, love him! "Bethy Ann, I want to go SUPER high!"



Sweet buddy - Watson you are the best big brother and little boy I know.  Daddy and I are so thankful for you and love you more than you will ever know.  We are proud of the sweet boy you are and the way you already care so much for others.  You love to play 'church' and say that you want to be a Pastor and Police Officer when you grow up.  You clearly adore your daddy :)
