Day 6

Enjoying a quiet Sunday at home.

Hello everybody!

I like hanging out with my daddy!

Making faces while sleeping.

Day 5

We are doing really good today. Grandma is still here and we love it. We have been trying to get out and do something everyday today we are going out for a walk.

Going for our first walk.

Ashlee loves to sleep with her hands under her chin.

Brookelyn and her dolls.

Day 4

Oh the life to just hang out in the sun all day!

Look I actually have hair!

Day 3

Ashlee is doing great at home. We are all happier at home together! Not much going on except eating, sleeping, and dirty diapers.

Playing with sister and daddy!

Day 2 - Coming Home

Hanging out in the sunlight because she is a little jaundice.

In the carseat for the first time, and not happy about it.

Even more mad about the carseat.

Now totally upset and screaming.

But once in the car and moving, doing just fine.

Luckily big sister is there to greet us when we got home.

Day One

Here is Ashlee's first day.

Grandma came to visit.

Big Sister Brookelyn came to visit. And got to hold me.

Our newest family photo.

Mom played dress up for my first big day.

And we took some cute pics of me and my big sister.

I also got a visit from mom's friend Jodi. I really liked her and slept the whole time she was holding me.

Newborn

Here are a few pictures of Ashlee just after she was born.

Introducing.......

We are excited to announce our newest member of our little family.

Ashlee Nicole Watson

Born: March 5, 2012

At: 2:30 am

Weight: 7 lb 11 oz

Height: 20 in

Happy 4th Birthday!

Happy Birthday to my baby girl. Who isn't such a baby anymore. She is such a big girl now. Good thing there's a new baby coming otherwise is be sad that she's so grown up.
Brookelyn is so smart. She picks up on everything so fast, too fast sometimes. She is very energetic and loves to play. But she is also very sensitive and has been such a wonderful helper while I've been pregnant. I can't believe it's been four years since she was just a snuggly little baby.
(this pic was taken at 7:30am, this is how much I love this girl!)

Cutie!

What a cute girl! Blowing bubbles with her cool shades on.

Cool Tricks

I told Darren I wouldn't post this, but I think it's too fun. This is what they call 'super jumps'. Brookey loves to have her daddy throw her up in the air. She thinks it's awesome she can touch the ceiling.

Style

This is my stylin child. In her jammies, with snow boots on (we don't get snow), and her packpack full of dolls and barbies. Gotta love this girl!

Working

Brookelyn likes to "help" Darren work. Darren was on a conference call here and B had to sit pretty much on him and comment on the conversation, while wearing his headset.

I made that.....

So this is my newest holiday decoration. I saw the idea for this wreath on a blog and decided it was easy enough for me to do. So off to the craft store and $15 later, voila! I think it's pretty darn cute!

(the sign under I made at a baby shower, super cute too)

Football

Darren got free tickets to the 49ers game from work. It was fun! We were going to take Brookey with us but couldn't find her a ticket. So our wonderful friends took her for the day. It turned out to be an awesome date. We were about 14 rows from the field, on the 50 yrd line. Cant do much better than that. And we got free scarfs for fan appreciation day, pretty cool huh.

This was the tunnel the players ran out of. Kind of cool!

Here is our "proof" picture of us actually being there. And of how close we were. It really wasn't that cold but my hair was crazy that day, hence the hat.

We really did enjoy our day away!

Santa Santa Ho Ho Ho

We went to our ward Christmas party and who was there? No other than Santa Claus! Brookelyn actually sat on his lap and told him what she wanted. It wasn't something we had bought for her, so I guess we will be going shopping for one last gift.
It was a great night. The food was actually good. The company was great! We really love our ward and ward family.

Halloween Party

Brookelyn had her Halloween Party at Joy School. The kids sang songs and danced in their costumes. Here is a little video I took. She makes me laugh so hard.

Sorry its sideways. I didnt realize it would do that.

Tinkerbell all ready to go.

Brooke's class. What cute kids!

Poll Results

You've decided that we are having a boy, 12 for boy and 7 for a girl. But I'm not going to tell you what we are having. But Brookelyn will!

What's it going to be?

We find out what baby #2 is soon. What do you think it will be? Girl? Boy? On the side I've set up a poll to see what you think it will be.

Oh Captain

We ventured to the Livermore Airport Open house as we do every year for the past few years. This year it was the best we've seen. It had arial plane stunts, local police, fire, and emergency response people and to top it off Captain Sully Sullenburger. He was the pilot who landed the airplane on the Hudson River in NY. He was very nice! B was acting shy to everyone, hence me holding her.

Fall?

I think Brookey doesn't know that it's fall now. Either that or fall doesn't know it's fall now.

Joy School

We decided to have Brookelyn do Joy School this year. She is the only girl in her group. There are 5 boys and Brookey. She's going to love it though. What a cute little girl she is turning out to be!

Game

Last weekend we went to an Oakland A's baseball game. A whole bunch of our friends went too. There was a tailgate party before and fireworks after. They let us on the field to watch the fireworks. This field is the same field that the Oakland Raiders play on. It was really awesome to touch the turf and experience what football players (and I guess baseball players too) see. It was a great night!

Campout

We decided to have a campout in our livingroom. We had tried to plan a real camping trip. But because I've been too sick being prego, a at home campout had to do. Then the night we decided to sleep outside in the backyard it was very cool and very windy. So it ended up being inside. We ate s'mores and Brookey and Darren slept in the tent. I need my rest so I slept in my bed. But Brookey loved the whole thing.

Its that time again!

For most people this time of the year is for back to school or the end of summer coming. But thats not what we are talking about.

What we are saying is, it's time for us to announce that we are having another baby. Yay!

Yes this is our next addition. Coming in late Feb '12.

(This is our official announcement. You probably will not receive a phone call or card in the mail. If there are family members who dont read this blog, then tell them they should.)

Games

This is how Darren and Brookelyn play games on Darren's phone.

Brookelyn is obsessed with the Easter Bunny lately. If she finds something askew or out of place she says the Easter Bunny must have came and moved it. The Easter Bunny also gets blamed if a mess is made and I ask how it got so messy. Poor Easter Bunny, I'm not sure Brookey knows exactly what he does just that he comes.

Dancer

Here is my little pole dancer. Her daddy should be so proud.

Baby, Oh Baby

Check out our new baby! Isnt she a beauty? She is a Hyundai Elantra. Brand spanking new. Very lovely, smooth, and hot. We are super excited to have a second car after 3 years of only having one. Awesome!

Swinging

We are finally enjoying some summer weather. It's hard to even be inside when you know it's such a nice day out. And I can't complain, especially since Brookelyn learned how to swing herself on the swing set. Now I just sit back and smile. Loving the swing set. One of our best purchases.
