The Watts Family: August 2011

My girls started school today! Watch out 2nd graders and Kindergartners......the Watts girls are new in town! They were sooooo excited to go.....not so excited to get up in the morning though. We struggled just a little. Me, on the other hand, struggled a lot. After I dropped them off and headed for work, it took about 5 minutes and then I let loose the tears. I don't cry much and I don't know why, but it was a sad moment for me. Time goes so fast.

The last couple of Sundays we have taken the two older girls boating. It hit me kind of hard when I realized how much more attention the little two get. Spending the whole day with the older girls was so much fun!

We also said our farewells to Porter Clayton, Aynslee's "best buddy" left on a mission for Texas.

I need to dust off the cobb webs from the blog, oh my! So of course the Watts family has been so super busy. The first picture is of the girls in their 24th of July outfits that my sister Halley made, Aynslee threw one of her famous fits for nothing and refused to be in the pic.......so I got a picture of her throwing her fit! This made her twice as mad.

We had our yearly visit with the Chad and Penny Hill family, it was good to see them again.

We had a family night out and took the kids bowling. They had such a blast! Lainee did what she does best and slept for the first part.

For the record, because my kids had the rail up......I got the lowest score both games. Yep, my kiddos beat me!

So this is a random pic of Jo Jo being a wart on her daddy's bum. And yes, those are her Christmas jammies she is sporting.

I have my husband back, he wrapped up his season. I didn't make it to very many games and I can't even remember how they did......bad baseball wife award. We also made a big decision and moved to Idaho Falls, best idea ever. We love it. And on top of EVERYTHING else that we have on our plates Joldy and I have decided to go back to school. I know, I know. My biggest complaint is how much time I don't have, but this we need to do. I am going online full-time and getting my bachelor of science business-human resources. It is go at your own pace completing one class at a time and I plan to be done in 3 years. So far so good....10 years of no school has meant some serious study time. My first math class kicked my butt. Since I run a restaurant, have four kids, and go to school.......I really just don't sleep. That is my game plan, NO SLEEP. Joldy is going back for sports medicine so he can move up in the coaching world, he had a lot of credits transfer so he should be done in less than 2 years. So if you see us looking like zombies with some serious circles under our eyes, we just don't sleep.

Our little Lainee Buggies is on the move. She is crawling and pulling herself up on everything. She eats anything in site.......I am sure if she found a spider she would grab it and eat it. Still an amazing baby and only wakes up once for a bottle around 5 a.m. I believe that I was blessed with the last baby being awesome because if they all were this good......I would have had 12. I have become emotional with her milestones. If I could freeze time, it would be now. My family is complete and I am content with their ages and stages. Every time Lainee does something new, I cry. It will be a bad day in the Watts home when she starts to walk, that is usually the stage where I say "okay lets have another." But this time there is no other. Just witnessing precious moments and embracing parenthood one day at a time.
