The Best Sister in The World

So Lacey i know you wouldn't mind if I hacked into your blog to leave you a little message. I just wanted to say thanks for all that you do for me. I want everyone who reads your blog to know what an amazing person you are. You are the only person in the entire world (besides my wonderful husband) who has never betrayed me. Thank-you for encouraging me to be my best self. I still can't believe that you convinced me to run a half marathon with you. I appreciate all the encouragement along the way because I really didn't even know that I was capable of doing it. Thanks for listening to me complain about all my problems and then encouraging me to be better. If I didn't have you ,I really wouldn't have anyone in this world to talk to who understands me and believes in me. You are my best friend and I am blessed that you are also my sister. I don't want to get too sappy or anything but I really do love ya hun!! (HA HA HA)
Sincerely,
Kim
P.S. I put my blog back up just for you!!

PLAYING CATCH UP!

Its been forever since I updated. Things are good. Mason is growing like a weed and it makes me sad. Lee is still working for the county and I'm still at the hospital. We have just been just spending time as a family and doing the same old stuff. Mason is now a member of the church and is so excited about it. Lee is just waiting for it to snow so he can go boarding!! Well here is some pictures of the last little while.

Mason got baptized! What a special time that was for our family. He was so excited and could not wait to be dunked in the water. It was so neat to watch Lee baptise our son. I was one proud momma.

We had a lot of fun this October. Our family LOVES Halloween. We had a great time carving pumpkins, trick or treating and watching scary movies.





Mason and his friend Austin getting ready for some candy. Mason went to the trunk r treat with Austin, then Lee and I took him around the town. As always he got a TON of candy.



BOO!


Chowder was a pretty princess.



Mason had a birthday party at the bowling alley this year. He got a lot of cool stuff. Everyone bowled, ate pizza and BIG cupcakes. My sister came down from Utah to help me with the party. Thanks Mim.

Mason and I the morning of his 8th birthday. Every year we take him out to breakfast for his birthday. This year it was just the two of us. We had a lot of fun and he got his favorite over easy eggs and sausage.


Me and my hubby hanging out watching Family Guy! Its our favorite. So funny!


Mason at lunch on his first day of school. He is in 2nd grade. And all the girls love him, but he only has eyes for his mommy. :)



Me and my wonderful friends Liz and Shasta after our session at the Logan Temple. These two are seriously an answer to my prayers. I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!



Our new puppy Chowder! She is actually at the vet right now cause Lee ran her over. She had to get hip surgery. Lee feels so bad. Poor puppy. :(

A LITTLE BIT OF OUR SUMMER!

Swimming lessons this year were awesome. Mason learned so much. He is such a darn good swimmer. He has no problem being in the deep end of the pool at all. He is even learning to dive.

Loving every second in the water.

Us spending the 4th of July holiday with my sisters. We went to two bbq's and watched a ton of fireworks.

Mason and his good friend Averi. They are always together. They have had a few sleepovers and they play almost everyday.

My super handsome boy at the temple. It was such a neat experience walking through the Temple with him.

Outside the Temple.

Me and my boy eating dinner at my sister's in laws house at salt lake.

I surprised Lee with a "boob" cake! He LOVED IT and thought it was super yummy!:)




Lee at Laguna Beach. It was so pretty.

We went to California in May. This was my first time seeing the ocean. I loved it so much I cried when we first walked up to it. It was amazing

So I know this was back in the spring, but I wanted to post it anyway. This was Mason's first year wrestling and he did such a good job. We were so proud of him!

Me and Mason's trip to Salt Lake!

Soooo good!

I have been wanting to try sushi soooo bad, so my sisters husbands brother took us out to a nice place and told us what to order. It was so yummy!

Mason and Fuddy at the Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house. It was so pretty. While we were there doing the tour my sister asked Mason what he liked best about the temple and he said " being so close to Jesus." What a wondeful boy I have.

Me and my sis after our session at the SLC Temple, it was amazing. I love going to Temple. It makes you realize what life's all about.

I GOT THIS E-MAIL FROM MY DAD TODAY

This tribute to our dog was written by my dad, Jerry Watson.
He joined our family in 1995. A five week old pure bred German Shorthair puppy. Skinny, big ears, and big paws. I knew it was a mistake from the start. Couldn't go anywhere without him. Lock him in the back yard and he'd climb the fence or tunnel under it. Tie him up and he'd chew the rope off or slip the collar. He could open a gate or a door. Then close it behind him just to make you wonder how he got out. He chased cats, squirrels, rabbits, deer, cattle, foxes and game birds. He chased my truck if I left home without him. But he never chased cars. He had encounters with skunks, badgers, porcupines, and rattlesnakes. He slept with me, my kids, my grandkids and by the fire. He ate chicken, chocolate bars, corn chips, ice cream, and my grandkids lollipops. He went fishing, hunting, hiking, swimming, golfing and jet-skiing. He attended weddings, ball games, parades, baptisms, graduations, family reunions and X-mas dinner. He was a thief. He stole countless stuffed animals from yards and porches. He buried them in our backyard. I found a huge Mighty Mouse partially covered with dirt and leaves. They still turn up now and then. He was gentle and submissive with children, yet he was a fierce and protective sentry when the lights went out. He would swim across lakes, rivers, and streams to find you. Then jump in and swim back when he discovered you weren't there. He would take a ten mile hike with me or just follow the grandkids around the block. It didn't matter. He made Kim sneeze. He let Hudson feed him M&M's, potato chips, and Hall's cough drops. He trained with Lacey for the Paris fun run. He helped Mason catch lizards, frogs, and grasshoppers. Missy invited him over for Thanksgiving dinner. Jennifer adopted him. She took care of him and let him rest on Josh's bed. He attempted to rid Dingle of their water snake population. He would get lost. I left him up Home Canyon. He came home. Jennifer left him in the Dingle hills. He came home.

That's what we were doing. Hiking at the lake. We were almost home. He laid down in the sun. The lake was beautiful. It was a great day. I told him..."come on buddy, you can make it". He didn't want to go on. He was tired. Worn out. He was with us for 102 dog years.

He was a nuisance. A pest. A burden. He was dirty and smelly. He was wet and muddy. He shed. He snored. And he was my best friend.
