The Watson Family

Hello from the Watson family. Life has been incredibly crazy recently. We moved to Utah about a year ago. Just needed a break from all the California madness. I taught 8th grade science for the 6th year at North Layton Jr. High. Rick's business from California, Sharpe Solar, repeatedly begged him to come back, offered him a new branch in Austin Texas to run. (He loves Austin!) We accepted moved to California for a few months to train and prepare. We've been here for 3 months and plans have changed. They need him here and gave him the management position in the Bakersfield office. So we'll be here indefinately.

I, on the other hand, have not been working since the school year ended. Rick and I got great news in April. We're expecting! We've been wanting to start our family for a year and half. It took a lot of trying, testing and tears. But it seems like nothing now that we have a baby on the way. Consequently, I am officially retired and loving it.

We had our ultrasound last week and we're thinking that it's a little girl. She was quite modest, so it was hard to tell. But there was nothing visible between the legs so its a girl or a very unfortunate little boy! We're due on Christmas day and so thrilled!

Chillin...not really, it's too hot

Hi Friends,
A shout out to the St. George A-Team. Looks like everyone has been keeping pretty busy...especially in the marriage and kid departments (in whatever role you hold...ie Auntie Trish or Judy...what does Noah call you?) Life is always changing in some sort of way, yet stays constant. Odd enough, still hanging my hat in Phoenix. Amy Esplin and I are roomies and having lots of fun. We have another roommate, Leigha (who is sweet) and 2 sun conures (Docker and Meeka). Unlike Trish, I would like to get rid of the laptop and escape technology for a few minutes. I do wholesale sales for a broadband internet company called Covad Communications. They are based out of California, yet I am based out of my house (or wherever else I care to be). However, I get good travel time to Texas and So. Cal to see clients. I know, tough life.

Lovin the Olympics by the way!!!

**WHITE STAR**

I've actally seen it! I went to see it with my roommate here in SLC. Always embarrassed to say that I love Saturdays Warrier, but it's true! "JIMMY....OH JIMMY..." White star was just a cheesy addition. I'm sure it was the dynamic of the actors/actresses that made it not the best....different people could have made it much better, but it was definitely interesting! I recommend seeing it! :)

p.s....I hear there was a sick thunderstorm tonight! I'm so sad I missed it! I wish it would thunderstorm here! Instead it's probably going to start snowing next week!

Saturday's Warriors

Hey, Just though you guys might want to know that Anne's Dad is bringing Saturday's Warriors and it sequel (White Star) to the Cox Auditorium this week (Thursday - Monday).  We are going on Friday if anyone wants to join.

Check out the web site.  If you are interested in going with us let me know.

Spence

Well good...

Thanks to everyone who came to our reception back in March. It was very nice to have the love and support of old friends. Married life has been a lot of fun so far. Dani might not entirely agree. I'll post some more wedding pictures when I learn how to use this inferior operating system.

Work keeps us pretty busy. I am doing security at the hospital, waiting tables at the Panama Grill, and working with Darin at the Bridge. Dani has been working at IHC and just got a great new promotion. She is now the senior executive secratary for one Gerald Stone. Whom you allmight know. through it all we still make time to go to the lake, to the movies, and mountain biking.

It was good to see the impressive turnout at Gary's last month as well- I thought I was the only person who missed the old gang! Thank you Baby Girl for putting all that together. We'll have to do that again for sure.

So, here's some more news. Bad news....My little nephew Noah had a little accident today. He swallowed a plastic halloween spider and choked. He stopped breathing and the ambulence came and helped him. He spent the rest of the day in the hospital, poor guy! He's all smiles now! What a trooper! We lost our little Yoshi girl a few weeks ago. She was 15 1/2 yrs old. She had congestive heart failure. She was with my mom and dad that night and they took care of her sweetly on her way out. Thank you to those of you who gave Yoshi lots of loves over the years. She was the sweetest yet sassiest little girl ever! Our family misses her deeply! Squeaky and Tippy have been depressed and each day that goes on, they miss her more and more. Losing special ones is never easy! Even when they're our pets! :( RIP YOSHI!!

Anyways....here's a few more of me and friends..... Lets see some of yours! :)

We DO have a guy like that on our A-Team! His name is Uncle Tob! I mean....it's not "Mister T", but we could call him that if we wanted to....it totally fits! Love ya Uncle Tob! :)

Anywho....I'm sad that I missed the reunion! I miss all you guys like crazy! I need to see all the new babies! What's new in all y'alls lives? Lets keep this blog going man....SET IT ON FFFIIIIYYYYAAAAHHH!!!!

Anyways, little bits of news for ya! For those of you who haven't heard, I got a new job promotion with SkinCareRX. I'm a big-wig manager now! It's official! They gave me my own laptop and everything. Pretty neat! I like it. It's fun! So, I'm totally excited for winter to begin in the next 5 weeks or so here.....NOT! I'm loving summer, but I'm already bitter at the fact that it's going to be cold soon again! I just CANNOT do winters 9 months out of the year. I miss that St George weather. So, my brother and his wifey moved to L.A. and I'm totally jealous of them. It's not fair! Good news though is that I think the Williams's are moving back to Utah. Tye is done with school! YAYYY!!! I miss them tons too! And the Ambersons....but I don't think they're moving back anytime soon! I miss the Pyatts too! Sorry so boring and random....I'm probably just sleepy Aunt Judy.

Keep in touch! And STAY COOL!

A-Team Unite....

I am excited to see everyone from the ol' gang. It'll be fun to see all the new additions and to catch up on good times. Just one question....why did we never have a guy like this in our A-Team?

The Bellistons

Hi a-team. Wow I finally sat down and checked this out. Thanks Trish it's great to see how everyone is doing. I haven't blogged before but if this is the only way to keep in touch with everyone I'm willing! Sorry to miss your open house SA, I hope that it went well and you accomplished your goal to piss off your neighbors like you wanted to. Anyway this is what we've been up to since getting booted out of the singles ward...got married (three years and counting) had a baby (Ethan a red-headed cutie) in July of '06, and Maddi is growing like a weed! Brock is starting a new career as a Loan officer (got sick of sitting behind a computer all day) -so if you need a loan anytime-you have a friend in the biz so give him a call! As for me I am a mostly stay at home mom and love it! We will be going to Lake Powell in a couple of days for the first time since Brock and I were crowned S.S.S king and queen, we will be thinking of all of you and the good ol dayz. Here are a couple of pics of our little fam. Hope you are all doing good!

3 Years

Just a quick note to the A-Team for making this day possible. Thanks to T for "setting us up". Thanks to Gary and Spencer for letting Matt live with them and thanks to everyone else for accepting Matt into the group so he could marry me. Baby girl has been married 3 years and has a baby- who would of ever known.

The Adams Family

Announcing our brand new addition - - Ty Colton Adams. He is finally here after putting me through a long overdue week of comments at work like "Are you still here? Haven't you had that baby yet?" and my personal favorite "I was hoping not to see you here today." He was born Sunday, May 18th. He weighed 8 lbs 2 oz and was 19 inches long. Labor was short (8 hours) and manageable (I opted for no meds). So far Ty is a very mellow fellow. Our first night home he slept from midnight until I woke him up at 6:30 am. He usually just gets uponce in the middle of the night. We haven't had any uncosolable cry times. The only time he gets cranky is when we are feeding. He doesn't like to suck at first. He just wants the milk to pour into his mouth - - so that's what we do. Shane (it's a team effort) has to pump formula into his mouth while I fight him to stay latched on. I will be so relieved when he figures it out. I love playing mom and couldn't ask for a better baby.

The Stone Family

This is great, Aunt Judy. Thanks for getting us all together.
As for a quick update....Liliana and I have nearly been married for a year now and our little 7 week old son is the joy of our lives. His name is Axel Kai and he was born on March 23rd.
We are still living in Santa George' and love it!

The Pyatt Family

Hi Everyone,

It has been great reading everyone's updates. It's fun to see what everyone is doing and that people have KIDS!! By the way, why hasn't Heath put some wedding pictures on this link? That was probably a beautiful day!! Anyway--life is good with the Pyatt family. Dave and I are still living in San Diego. Our door is always open to those who need a free place to stay. We have one daughter, Mackenzie. She is 14 months old now and walking all over the place and has the bruises to show for it. She is so fun and has so much energy!! We hope everyone is doing well. Take care!

Jamie, Dave and Mackenzie

Spence and Carey's Hang out

Ok, due to many people not being able to be there on the 26th, we decided that we will make it the 10th of May. This one will happen, so if you can't make it to that one, then we will just have to hang out another time and call it a good time.

It will be at our house on Indian Hills Dr. Let me know if you don't know where that is at and I'll get you the directions. We'll get it started around 7 pm. We'll be having a BBQ and the ultimate desire to piss off my neighbors. Man we can't wait to move!!!

What's NEW???

Hey guys... I thought I'd post a few random things.... for those who are lonely and or bored! Here's a little update on me. I'm still up in SLC...right along side of Lil' T! Who... by the way, just purchased a condo! Yep... she's official now! She's straight up R-Town! (Riverton, for those of you who weren't aware). It's still winter here. Going on 6 months now! Yep... good times! I just had an accident a few weeks ago, due to the effing SNOW! I crashed my car on the freeway, hit black ice under the snow-packed road and I lost control and hit the wall head on! It was an adventure! WOOOHOOOO! I love a little excitement and adrenaline! So... that was a fun $3k well spent!!!!!! I have a new nephew as of Jan 12th. I'm am proud to say that I am now officially "AUNT JUDY"! I finished school a few weeks ago and now have my masters in esthetics! I am working back at SkinCareRX, so if any of you want a hook up for good skincare, let me know! I am still making my lotions and creams and I now have official labels! They're so cute! My roommate Clairice is a graphic designer and she has created a marvelous design for me! I love her taste! Very Boutique! She has begun a new hobbie for me and another roommate of ours. We have come up with the "Saturday Lunch Club". We go to lunch every saturday and we try new restaurants and then rate them. We're hoping to make it big time someday! Our blog site is: http://thesaturdaylunchclub.blogspot.com/ CHECK US OUT!!!! :) I have been having a blast with little Dyllan, who is Dena's daughter. We hang out all the time and do girls night! She loves it! Gary and Sheri just had a new little baby, Kai! He's adorable!!!! I can't wait to play with the little bugger! Anyways... I posted a few random pics. I hope y'all are doing well and I can't wait to hear from ALL OF YOU on here!!!!! Peace!!!!

From Jacksonville, FL

Hi A-Team all the way from Florida!
Thanks Aunt Judy for starting this. I like Ashley love reading other blogs and keeping up (at least) a little with what is going on with friends.
Matt is still with ERAC and is very busy at the airport location. We've been in Jacksonville a year now; still not loving it, but have adjusted (until about June and then I will start disliking it again). We now have two little girls, Kennedy and Kaitlyn, the true joys and trials of my life! :)
Congrats Spencer and Heath on your recent marriages.

Look forward to checking this blog and finding out how everyone is doing and what you're up to!

Matt & "Baby Girl" update

I am so excited that Tricia decided to start a blog because it is my new hobbie!!! It has been way fun to blog surf and find old friends and stay in touch. I think this is a great idea to keep in touch.. . . anyways sorry that we miss you guys at Heath's wedding. We had to be in SLC with Matt's family, and since we don't get up there often we had to.

I am not sure who knows and who doesn't know but we had a baby girl in November. Her name is Eva and she is the best thing that has happened to us. It is very hard being a mom but I am starting to get a handle on it ( i hope that gary and sheri and doing okay because the first 2 months SUCKS) I will post a picture so you can all see Eva. She is 4 1/2 months and changing every day.

SA - i hope you have a open house because we would love to come.

Please check the blog often and lets all stay in touch.

Matt, Ashley and Eva Conover

SA and Carey's "Open House"

Well, I guess this will be a great way to keep everyone posted on the details of our lives. So good on ya AJ!

Carey and I got married on Jan 25th of 2008, That's old news, but the new news is that we are going to be having our Open House which is synonomous with Wedding Reception at the end of this month. The big question is, when to have it. We are talking about having it either on the 26th of April or the 19th. So you need to let us know when you would prefer it to be. It will be real casual, come and eat some burgers drink some pina coladas, hang out, whatever.

SA

Love,
Aunt Judy
