Puffy Muffin-this Sunday!!

My cousins, Jon and Jennifer Watson are in the process of adopting a baby girl and they are having a fundraiser at the Puffy Muffin this Sunday from 10:30-2 p.m. All you have to do is show up and EAT!! I don't know about you, but I've always wanted Puffy Muffin to be open on a Sunday. Here's your chance! Please spread the word. All you Brentwood Hills folks, what a great Sunday brunch/lunch! Dine-In or carry-out. Read below for more information and a link to their adoption website.

Our dear friends, the Watson’s, are hosting a 1 Seed event to support their adoption of a little girl from the Republic of the Marshall Islands. Please read this quote from Jon & Jennifer...

"We humbly believe that God has revealed an extraordinary opportunity to us. James 1:27 reveals that God’s people are called to care for those that are unable to care for themselves, specifically orphans. Through much prayerful discussion, our family believes that we are not yet complete and that God has chosen a special and specific child for our family to adopt." You can read more at

We hope that you will mark your calendar to attend this fun event hosted at the Puffy Muffin. Bring your family & come between 10:30 AM to 2 PM on May 15th! There will be a set menu to choose from & you can hear all about Margaret Christine Watson (Meg) from her forever family.

If you can’t attend the luncheon but would still like to help out, you can make a tax deductible donation through Lifesong for Orphans. Checks should be made payable to Lifesong for Orphans and mailed to Lifesong for Orphans, PO Box 40, Gridley, IL 61744. Your check should include a memo with “preference: Watson #2035”

HUGE Catch Up on the blog...

Whew, now I remember why I wanted to do one post at a time. After looking for baby pictures of Will for his preschool graduation, I took a trip down memory lane on the blog and realized how special this blog is to me. I don't even remember half of the things I've written about, so I'm so thankful to have this blog to jog my memory. It made me force myself to get some pictures in order and update our recent adventures.
Family picture after the program. Do you think they wanted their picture taken? Walker will refuse to look at the camera when he doesn't want to take a picture.

This is Walker's "best friend" Drew. He talks about him all the time and can't wait to get to school to see "my best friend, Drewie." This picture is blurry b/c there was so much going on and I couldn't get them to look at the camera.

Just a few pictures I took the other day.

This picture is the perfect capture of his belly laugh.

Spring Program~Walker's class

So cute! They did great. Walker did decide to quack like a duck at one point when the audience was completely quiet and when I made eye contact with him and smile and mouthed the word "sing" he decided to stick out his tongue and make a poot sound while holding his ears like a monkey. NICE :) I can always be assured that my children will be the ones to do something like this.

Spring Program-Will's class

I can't believe another year has almost passed us by. The boys had their spring program at preschool today. It was so cute. Here are a few pictures of Will's group.
Here are the 5's waiting to go on stage.

D-Backs

Two words~adorable and hilarious! There is nothing cuter (in my opinion) than a little boy in a baseball hat and uniform. I have a ton of pictures and I'm sure I'll update more later, but it's late and I've been trying to catch up the blog and I'm to tired too write more.

Walker loves playing in the dirt during the games.

Look mom, no training wheels!

On Saturday, I went to take pictures of a friend's house that Len has on the market and when I got home, Will was practically beating down my window to tell me that he had been riding his bike all afternoon with NO TRAINING WHEELS! He was so excited. Will is very intimidated by the thought of trying something new. He will worry and get all worked up about it, but as soon as he finally tries it and realizes he can do it, there's no stopping him. He has been this way since he was a baby. From the slide at the park, to swimming and the slide at the pool to just about everything, he has always had a fear of trying new things. Now Walker on the other hand has no fear, which is pretty scary for me and Len. He wanted me to take pictures and has wanted to ride his bike non stop ever since.

Len's 32nd Birthday

We have a tradition in our house to make a birthday banner for whoever's birthday it is. It's so fun to come up with new ideas and the boys love to help come up with the design. In the past we have just used butcher paper to color on and cut out the letters for our message, but this time we decided to step it up a notch and add balloons. The boys had a BALL trying to blow up the balloons and help tie them to the string. They made cards and couldn't wait to suprise daddy with his decorations on Saturday morning. Call me wife of the year because it was our spring break that week and I didn't look at the calendar. I had it in my mind that Len's birthday was on a Saturday. On Friday morning, Len woke up and went about his normal routine and went to work. After getting everyone settled, I logged in to Facebook to see a bunch of "happy birthday Len" messages on my wall. My stomach dropped and I felt terrible and he never said one word to me about it. He's just sweet like that. Hopefully we made up for it with his decorations and we brought him breakfast in bed on Saturday morning. We decided to just act like Saturday was his birthday all along.

These boys LOVE, LOVE, LOVE their daddy. Their favorite game is "fight." I can't tell you how many times a day I hear, "wet's pway fight daddy, come on wet's pway fight" and they all pile on top of each other and tackle Len. He's making them tough little boys ;)
