The Watson extended family includes children, grandchildren and of course,
pets (theirs, not ours):
In 2005 we took Michael and Kori with us on a road trip to New Mexico and Colorado. Here, they are pictured at Balcony House, one of the most picturesque tours available at Mesa Verde in Colorado.
Karen and Al Amador (left) who are the proud parents of
Sophia and Michael (below). Karen is a meeting planner for the Table Group. Al now works for Kaiser Permanente. Last Christmas, they added Allie to their family. She is a friendly mix breed who watches after the family proudly.
Michael
loves to play soccer and his team did quite well this year. In one weekend alone, he played five games in a playoff series. Here, Michael is getting ready to coast down the mountain in Glenwood Springs Colorado. He is in sixth grade this fall having just celebrated his eleventh birthday. As a Boy Scout, he has been on many overnighters and looks real smart in his dress uniform.
Sophia turned eight this year and Haley turned five. We celebrated Sophia's birthday at Disneyland this year. Here they are pictured at the opening to California Adventure where we had a great time. Earlier in the day, we had breakfast with Minnie, Pluto, Lilo, and Stitch. This was the year that we began taking the grand children with us on vacation. This trip included Sophia, Haley, and Alexander
Marston
is proud of his son Erik, who graduated from San Fancisco State. Erik, who loves to ski
(both water and snow) has chosen sales/marketing as a career. Our family grew with the addition of Jill and Kori to Erik's life. Their family is shown here on their wedding day. Last Christmas, they added Max to the family. He is a golden retriever and very friendly..
Alexia Rose is now three years old. She enjoys playing in the water and dressing like a princess. She loves to wear pink, choosing outfits in that color on most days. This year she went over to Alexander's house for Halloween to carve pumpkins with Grandma and Auntie Dionne.
Kori is now thirteen and in the eighth grade. On our trip to Colorado, I learned what a great horserider she is. I also learned how fearless she is when we rode on a giant swing out over the Glenwood canyon. What a special time we had with both Kori and Michael in Colorado!
Let me introduce Dionne Mitchell-Maniaci, my daughter and her husband Robert. She
graduated from Sonoma State University in 1996 earning a Theatre Arts degree focused on
lighting design. Robert is an engineer who works at R&D Communications and contracts to build sophisticated television stations. Two cats are now at their home: Mason the indoor cat and Goobers the outdoor cat.
Alexander is now five years old. He owns the most hot wheels cars of anyone that I know of. He is so enthralled with all kinds of vehicles (from fire engines to dirt movers) that his bedroom is decorated in a theme of cars trucks and planes. On our trip to Disneyland this summer, we went to the "Build-a-Bear" shop where he brought a cute kitten to life and took it home. For Halloween this year, he dressed up as a race car driver. For his fifth birthday, he had a Hot Wheels themed gymnastics party with friends and family. Afterwards, Grandma got to assemble one of his birthday gifts, a rare treat!
Robert has two sons, Trevor and Robbie who were best men at their wedding. Robbie, on the left is the oldest and is working in northern California. Trevor, on the right is attending college while living in Patterson. They both were able to attend Marston's 70th birthday party this year, which was a special treat for the family.
