Hello everyone! Our goal was to keep up with this blog every month, but I'll be honest....it's impossible. We have a lot to update you all on, so I'm going to go into super fast update mode: Try to keep up!
In July, we spent a whole week on the shores of North Lake Tahoe with the whole Watkins' clan and boy did we have a great time. Not only did Brandon and Sierra get to reunite with their favorite cousins Wade and Nora, but their daddy managed to shoot his highest scores in golf EVER! Stupid pine trees! Saying goodbye to Wes and the family was heart wrenching but I truly feel like we bonded more in that week than ever before. Looking forward to the future and their new baby next year.
Yeah, baby Sierra has grown up quite a bit in the last 3 months.....here a list of things she's started to do: sleeping through the night (hopefully not jinxing ourselves....), eating stage 1 solid foods, playing in her exersaucer, rolling over, drooling, smiling more than we could have ever imagined, and did I mention sleeping through the night? Everyday I'm realizing how much trouble this girl is going to bring me in the future. 
Brandon has adjusted amazingly to having a new sister and everyday he wakes up asking "where's baby?". He constantly kisses her and now our favorite thing is watching him make her laugh during dinner. Someday we'll get a video of it because it's really priceless. He's also doing a great job of helping us take care of her....because there are times when we don't hear her crying, but he'll come into the room to tell us "babies crying momma!". Can't wait to see him to protect her in the future.
Yes, he's still a blonde haired part Asian kid....and yes, people ask me if I'm babysitting when I'm out with my son!..but I love it. In August we were honored when my cousin Cathy and her husband Caleb asked us if we would let Brandon be there ring bearer in their wedding. They supplied this custom "Hanbok" for him to wear, and he cried the whole time he walked down the aisle (just like I warned them!)...but their wedding was amazing and we were so proud of our little "toe-head" son! 
This picture sums up our sentiments about baby Sierra....serious trouble coming! Other updates are as follows: Brandon can now ride a tricycle down our whole street and back, he managed to climb something he shouldn't have in the garage and smashed his face on the concrete....he now looks like Lloyd from Dumb and Dumber (yes, I'm referring to his cracked front tooth!). He's mastered Angry Birds, tried to buy a $99 dollar app on my iPhone, and blessed us with his first case of Strep Throat......what's next?!Talk to all soon!
