A SURPRISE, The BEACH & a new CUDDLE BUDDY

It seems like the last coupl weeks have been so busy, filled with lots of fun activities. I really wish I was better about taking pictures during some of these activities, but I did what I could and here are the results.

The first was Jason's Birthday. I decided to throw him a SURPRISE party for his 30th. I think he caught on driving home, but he was a good sport and acted surprised when he walked in the door. He came home to about 30 people in the kitchen yelling surprise & singing happy birthday.

People brought gag gifts for Jason - lots of Metamucil, some Polygrip, an Arthritis Today subscription - it was pretty fun.

I think Staci pulled the best gag with Jason's cake. As you can see - it says BYU's #1 Fan! Jason was a good sport about it, but quickly scratched out BYU. For those of you who don't know - Jason is a  U of U lover and a BYU hater.

Second, we headed west - to the BEACH. We thought it would be fun to take Emree to San Diego & have her experience the beach. She did really good. She observed everything around her, ate some lunch, and let her feet play in the sand.

 

 The third item we had to blog about was Emree's new CUDDLE BUDDY. We have found her multiple times cuddled up with a blanket - so we wondered what she would do with a little lamb - here's the result.

Emree is doing awesome. The sweetest little girl. She is still sleeping through the night. (I guess those pep talks we gave her while in the womb have worked :-} ). Her new accomplishments are giggling & starting to roll-over.

A special weekend

This past weekend was a special one for Emree. First, she was able to meet her Grandma & Grandpa Watson. She was so excited to see them. She smiled, ooed & awwed, and showed them how cute she was.

The second special activity of the weekend was her blessing. I was so nervous she would start crying, spit-up, or have a blow-out, but I should have known - this is Emree i'm talking about and she was perfect. Slept through the whole thing. She looked so darn cute in her white dress and big bow. Jason told me he thought it look like a mini wedding dress, but I thought it was adorable and so did everyone else.

After the blessing we had friends and family over for a little brunch. It was so fun to visit with everyone. It was the perfect ending to the perfect weekend.  Thank you everyone who came and enjoyed this special day with us.
