Lily Ann Faith is here!

Miss Lilly Ann Faith made her debut on May 20th @ 5:56 am weighing in at a whooping 6lbs and 7oz and 18inches long. She is such a little peanut like her sister was! We are so excited to welcome her to our ever-growing crew.
Here are the proud Poppa, Big sis and brother. They can't keep their hands off of her and want to change her clothes all the time and help wherever they can! Gracie actually on her own made everyone a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch today! --My big helper! ;0)



We chose the names Lily and Faith from the Matthew 6 passage dealing with us not worrying about what tomorrow will bring, but instead having Faith in the Lord like the lillies. And Ann was my momma's middle name and we wanted to honor her memory by using her name for our sweet little girl.

Resurrection Sunday!

What a blessed day to be a momma and be allowed the privilege of teaching my children about Christ's redeeming love for us! We started our day with cross shaped pancakes (which I will make ahead an freeze next year!--took alot of time!) and we gave the big kids their brand new-very own Bibles. They were so excited to get them. We had to take them away to get dressed! Then off to worship at Cornerstone Baptist and lunch at Mamaw and Papaw's house complete with the family favorite of Mamaw's deviled eggs! It was a good day!

Playing at the park

Texas Snowman in the Bluegrass state

This is our Texas snowman, complete with boots and a cowboy hat! Everyone had a ball making and admiring him.

Going to feed the horses

Look at these guys--my handsome men! Three generations of Watkins men hiking in the snow to feed the horses.

Unexpected Visit

On our way to Kentucky, we got a call from Serita's dad, Walter, letting us know that he was in Mississippi for a few days. We were about to stop and spend the night there so we made plans to meet him for breakfast the next morning! This was his first time to get to see Wil. The kids were excited to see their Papaw and had a good time playing and talking with him. Wil was also very intrigued with him (and his glasses!)

Gracie's 4th Birthday Party

Gracie celebrated her Fourth birthday at our house with Grandpa Kurt, Grandma Debbie, The Haddoxes and the Alfreds. The kids decorated their own cupcakes (even Grandma did one!) and we had some pretty neat looking finished products. Gracie got new cowgirl boots, a pink guitar, money, clothes, and a butterfly garden! We finished off her special day with a trip to the Pasadena Rodeo. She had a great time!
