The Watsons: May 2009

Ok, so I have a lot of catching up to do! We have been very busy since the last time I blogged. We had Alyssa's 1st Birthday, Brenn's Triathlon, Addison's dance recital and going to the Strawberry patch.

Alyssa's 1st Birthday party was great! She enjoyed playing and sitting in her cake, but didn't really want to eat it. She got a ton of gifts and was cute as a button! I can't believe she is already 1!

Look at those beautiful eyes!

How cute is she!

Like I said, she enjoyed sitting in it!

Next was Brenn's second triathlon. I wasn't able to go the the first one and Brenn forgot to take his camera to take pictures. He did great and once again I am so proud of him. He improved his time by about 5 minutes. He is doing another one at the end of this month.

After that, we had Addison's dance recital. I was so excited and anxious about the recital. One reason is because I couldn't wait to see how Addison did and the other reason, was I had to be on stage with her. It was a "Mommy and Me" class, so we had to be up on the stage, but thankfully didn't have to dance. They all did so good and were adorable. It took Addison a little while before she finally started to dance, but when she finally started, it was really cute. I am trying to post her video, but I haven't had any success. I think it is too long.

Here is Addison in her costume on the day that they had their pictures made.

Dancing her routine!

Then Sunday, Addison, my mom and I went to pick strawberries. The first strawberry Addison picked was a little mushy, so when she went to pick it she didn't like the feeling. She said, "I mushed it Mommy." After that she wouldn't pick anymore, but wanted to put them in the basket when we picked them.
