Seattle Gettaway!!!!!

We finally did it!!! Managed to sneak away for a weekend with my husband!! With our crazy schedules.......I didn't think it would ever happen. Sadly, this is the first gettaway since we started our growing family!!! So just to brag a little bit here are some fabulous pics of our fabulous weekend!!!



We ate dinner at the famous Space Needle. Here was one of the many views from our table This view was from the very top of the building looking down.

The really hard part about only having us two.....was the fact that there was nobody to take pics of us together.....so it was always taking them of eachother or even together

This picture was the view off the the balcony of our cute romantic hotel suite!

We took scenic boat cruise and this is the house that was filmed on Sleepless in Seattle!

Love birds on the boat

Little me in "BIG" City!

Of course what would a trip be without seeing a baseball game?????? So the Mariners played the Giants and Randy was pitching for the Giants that night!

So all in all we had a lot of R & R which was much needed!!! The kids did great...Jayc and Sicilee stayed with Aunt Nickole and didn't even care we were gone and my mom took Aynslee who was still trying to kick the flu for the second time around.( Yep that's right.....we got the flu twice in one week, I would rather not talk about it. It's exhausting to even think about) But she did so good and only woke up once a night to get a bum change and a bottle. Hooray!!! Well we are back to the real life now with crazy schedules and a lot of baseball games to support!!!

Pre-School Graduation!

This was the girls last day of school pic!! Still cheezballs like the first day of school pic. According to Jaycee's memory book she grew 2 inches and gained one pound. Skinny little fart!!! Sicilee is the child that chases butterflies if you know what I mean. She is there just to be there!
So of course Jayc had her graduation which consisted of a cute hour-long program. She did announce that she wanted to be a doctor when she grows up.....we will see how that changes over the years!

Grandma Cookie got her this dress and said that she wanted to see pics.......here is for you grandma Cook!!!

OMG!!!!

There is reason for my title.....but first a little update since I have been a complete blog slacker. The Bee's didn't end the year so well, we went in 1st and ended up 3rd. It happens right? Here is a pic from honoring the seniors, we have a banquet for them on thursday. I decided to make make scrapbooks for the seniors and coaches as a coaches wife tradition. I always wished that my senior year I got more then a towel with my name spelled wrong:)



This is my little weed, who continues to grow such personality and makes me laugh all day long. She says mamma, dad, shakes her head no, and has just learned to clap and thinks that it is great. She babbles in the car if she isn't asleep, and a smile lights up her face anytime her sisters enter a room. Still chubby and happy as can be!

I love being a preschool mommy, I want to keep everything that they bring home!!!!! This was their mother's day flowers to me (still growing!!!)

And last but not least we had Jaycee's end of the year recital tonite and I have to say that she is one tough cookie. Now for the explanation of the title....OMG!! First off as a mother I always get the sickness that runs through the family last or very blessed to not get it at all. This time the flu hit the Watts home starting with me and Aynslee. Seriously we starting throwing up at the same time down to the minute. As I soon as I started, I heard Jo Jo on the monitor feeling the same pain. So I finished went and got her...found Joldy and asked for some help.....did laundry....and died. Joldy took Aynslee for the night cuz I checked out of mommy duty. Poor little girl passed my throw up number by at least six. It is so sad as a mom to not be able to "fix" things when they are not feeling good. Needless to say, I lost 8 pounds in 24 hours. Yes (Halley) Jo Jo is still chubby and most likely didn't loose an ounce. Laugh it up!! That was on Thursday so for some reason I thought that I was in the clear with the other two girls. WRONG!! I am going a hundred miles an hour trying to get ready for her recital and it all started at 6:00. Her recital was a 7 mind you. This hasn't happened in my mommy years but I also don't think that it will be the last. Jaycee came running from inside as I was just getting dinner started saying the she threw up, I asked if she had been coughing from running and she said yes. Cleaned her up...back to dinner....Sicilee started whining saying her belly hurts....turn around Jaycee goes for her second round....start cleaning that up and Sicilee projectiles in my kitchen...throw her in the shower...before I could get out of the bathroom Jaycee goes for round three on my couch. I am now freaking out over what time it is and what to do. Jaycee cries and throws a fit saying she still wants to dance....clean up ALL the messes.....do more laundry....get kiddos ready....GO! She dances early in the recital and we bounced right after!

This pic was like 10 minutes after we got home! Whew what a day! I do want to say thanks to the family that came to support Jaycee and apologize for our abrupt leave. I didn't want her to get anyone else sick either!!! So after cleaning up a lot of bodily fluids, and about 16 loads of laundry, maybe tomorrow will be a better day???? My sanity hopes so!

Date to Remember

So I am really bad at reminding people of special dates so I will cheat and ditch the phone calls. Jaycee has her end of the year recital on May 16th at the Rigby High School at 7:00 pm. We just went and got her dance pics done and I am excited to get them back. I just saw her dance outfit for the first time and it is A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E. I am, however, sad to say that Jaycee is giving up dance and wants to try the cheerleading thing and gymnastics next. Her cheer team is a competition tiny team and will do several competitions in the fall. She is excited and yes Joldy is too!! (not)

Work is crazy and stressful, Anyslee is cutting two more teeth, Jaycee has this cough that keeps us all up at night, Sicilee has her allergies, they both still fight NONSTOP over absolutely everything (nothing works, I give up and just let them duke it out now) Joldy never sleeps, and I don't even have time to keep up on my house or even cook these days. Whew!!! That about sums up our little family:) No, really I don't mind being crazy busy. It actually makes me more organized if that makes sense. Just very little sleep. I wouldn't trade it for the world!! He he!

Joldy's team started districts on Monday and played a very suspenseful game and won off of a home run against rivals Hillcrest. They played today and I have to say the most awful I have ever seen them play. They seriously just checked out after the second inning. So we will have to play tomorrow in order to play one more time on Saturday to make it to state. These boys are young but have some serious heart and talent. I just want them to do good for them, they deserve it!! If they make it to state that means another trip to Boise........ and that means the girlies might get to see Poppy and Mimi. We always look forward to Boise trips!!

I will keep you posted of our crazy crazy life and how the Bee's are doing.

Best friends......naaahh more like Enemies!

These two little stinkers do nothing but fight now, over everything. Even at dinner who gets to sit by Aynslee, who gets the purple plate, who gets their milk first, who finishes first aaahhhhh. I am pulling my hair out. They are so competitive over EVERYTHING. I feel like I am yelling at my kids more then loving them these days. Most of my conversation with them is "be nice", "tell your sister you are sorry", "say please", "go to the corner", "if I get to three then no cartoons for a week". I really feel like a broken record. If I make them sit and hug they even fight over that. I don't remember fighting with my sisters like this growing up. I am praying that it is just a phase. Don't let this picture fool you....even though they do look angelic!!



This has got to be one of the funnest stages that babies go through....pulling themselves out of their schedule and only eating and sleeping when convenient for them because play time now comes first!! This is the child that cannot talk back yet or fight with her sisters.....so yes this one is really angelic!

So I am on this crazy SPRING CLEANING spree, thus the lack of blogging. Seriously I still have socks, jeans, shirts, lots of crap from clear back in high school. I think that i am coming up on ten years so I figured it is time to clean house. Also the girls are growing like weeds (especially Jo J0) and I am having a hard time keeping up on trading out tote sizes and organizing their clothes. Jaycee and Sicilee were stuck in the same size forever and now decided to skip one. I don't mind the shopping I am doing lately though!!!

Took Jaycee to the Doc this week and missed Aynslee's check-up, so no stats until I reschedule. Jaycee had two ear infections and I did find out that the hole from the tube in one ear still isn't healed so we have to get a hearing test by the end of the year and most likely a surgery to follow. She was so funny though, shouting literally at the top of her lungs because she couldn't hear and the infection was draining out of her ear. NASTY. I took her into the community care in Rexburg and low and behold good ol' Bart Peterson from South Fremont was her Physician. Small world living in the "Rexburg Bubble".

Other then taking care of crazy, fighting, teething, sick kiddos we still hit about four baseball games a week to support Joldy and the team. Life going in fast forward and trying to catch each little memory as we go!!!!

Princess Days!!

Every year the Paul Mitchell hair academy has what they call princess and pirate days. The girls dress like real princesses and treat all the little girls like a princess and they get hair, make-up, and nails done. Normally I would let them dress up in their princess "dress-up" clothes...but we had a baseball game in Rigby to go to right after. Aynslee is too little, although, they tried really hard to paint her toe nails and just ended up painting her toes instead. Lil' stinker wouldn't hold still at all, so she enjoyed the view from a very sleepy stroller. (I take the stroller EVERYWHERE now, she is way to heavy to be toting around these days) The girls didn't want to leave!! They love being pampered....imagine that!

We're Back!!

Absolutely had a blast and to sum up the concert........HOT HOT HOT are Britney and the PussyCat Dolls. I am so glad that I got to go with my sister Halley..............wouldn't want to share the moment with anyone else!!!!! The trip was F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S and my kids were awesome for their daddy. And of course I leave and Aynslee cuts two teeth the one day I am gone....unbelieveable. I am sure next time I leave she will start walking...with my luck. Poor little fart is running a fever, runny nose, flushed cheeks, no appetite......every symptom in the book!! She is tough though and still trying to keep up the the older girls!!

Happy Easter

Life has been going in the fast lane as usual, so the Watts home is very crazy. It was also my busiest week of the year and work, Joldy had like 5 games, all three kiddos caught the nasty cough and cold.....whew this mommy needs a day at the spa!!!!!

Here is how our Easter began....as tradition the Easter Bunny always sends the girls on a hunt around the house after they have torn apart their Easter baskets. For the record yes the girls hair looks this crazy when they first wake up because they bath right before bed. (Sissy's still makes me laugh, she reminds me of my sister Steph growing up. We would always call her fluffy poodle b/c of how crazy her hair was when she woke up!)


Since it was so nice this morning and we didn't have time this week to decorate eggs earlier....the girls decorated with style on the deck!!!! (shirtless but still came out with some serious multi-colored hands!)As usual, the fam came over for dinner and they had another egg hunt outside. Jaycee has a sucker hanging out of her mouth the whole time and Sicilee opened every egg to see what kind of candy she got. Just what I need.....more kids with "sugar bugs" right?

My mom and I saw this in a magazine a while ago and thought that it was so cute, fun, and cheap so we shared our little project as a center piece.

Don't forget about the babies who aren't quite walking so they didn't get to do very much but bond with eachother and hang. All 3 had runny noses and nasty coughs(they all are watched by Halley most of the time so they all catch everything at once). The conversation between Halley and I goes something along the lines of "Wow, I am tired my baby is sick and up all night." Then the other will say "Me too!" So when one of us mammas babies is sick.............we are all in the same boat!!

Well another crazy week ahead.............but most important BRITNEY SPEARS concert is on Tuesday and Halley and I are doing some serious shopping while in Utah. Wow leaving my baby for the first time and leaving my husband in charge.......YIKES. It is actually a milestone for me as a mom. I don't like leaving my babies while they are young.....I just worry the whole time. Aside from my fears I will definately post pics of Brit!!!!!!!

Arts and Crafts

The girls are enjoying a little artsy time while making their own piggy banks. Porter's Office actually has quite a few little activities for little girls all under $5. This one got quite messy and no the paint does not come out of their clothes I just found out doing laundry today!! But they had fun and that is what matters.

This is Aynslee's pass time during arts and crafts..................

We started sprucing up the yard today and I could not believe how much energy the girls wasted and got along. I think that they have been cooped up for too long and it is showing. They feel like free little souls now. This is a pic of the flowers that they brought in to me, yep you got it weeds....and since they were so proud I let them put it in a "vase" (their version of a vase) Sad how they had to shuffle through a little snow to get these and it is stinkin April!!!

Aaaahhhhhh, We CHOKED!

I believe that we went into the co-ed volleyball tournament ranked second, and we ended up ranked fourth. We really choked, had no rhythm, you get the picture right? It was fun though and helped me stay in shape. I can almost beat my husband in arm wrestling (jk) I look forward to playing in the fall again. All in all, no sweatshirt but we did get some kind of shoe bag so we definately aren't leaving empty-handed:)
