Christmas Lights

Hunter goes to preschool at the YMCA and every year they offer a fun evening filled with cookies and hot cocoa, then we pile into a bus, sing Christmas caroles and are chauffeured around town to look at Christmas lights. The boys had such a great time and Jason and I did too.

Martha Stewart...not so much.

 So, I was trying to be crafty, you know make memories :) So, the kids and I painted ornaments. They actually turned out pretty cute - and more importantly, I think they has a good time.

Fa la la la la, la la la la

Walker had a Christmas program this year at school. I love going to school programs. Unfortunately, I did not get very good pictures, but I could not be too picky - it was a packed house. The kids sang their little hearts out.

Walker is smack in the middle. I missed getting a picture of him with his Elf hat on :)

Driving a Boat

Look at how cute my little man is!! We did a little Christmas shopping today at Toys R Us and in true 2 year old fashion, he wanted to ride the "ride". I love his face :)

Walker's Bowling Birthday Party

For Walker's 9th birthday we had an awesome day. Started out with cinnamon rolls for breakfast and then he could not wait one second longer, he had to open his gifts right away that morning. To his surprise he got a new PHONE! He was so excited, it was so fun to watch his face as he opened it up.

 

This year Walker decided to have a bowling party. Uncle David was in town and we had a great time. After bowling we went to Fuddrucker's for dinner.

Yummo! Ice Cream Cake!!!

We love you, Walker!!!

 

Happy Birthday Walker!

Dear Walker,

Today you turned 9 years old. I can't believe how fast time has flown by. It feels like yesterday I was cradling you in my arms, watching you sleep so peacefully. I was in awe that you were actually mine. I was the one who was so blessed that day. That sweet morning that I held you, with tears streaming down my face. I thought my heart was going to just burst with love for you. It is a memory I will never forget.

You are growing up to be such a wonderful young man. You are loved by many and adored by your brothers. You are the best big brother, you watch over Hunter and Colter and protect them. You are quick to play video games with Hunter and love to run and chase Colter, running around making him laugh and giggle.You are so helpful watching your brothers, you are my second set of eyes.

You are smart and bright and are doing so well in school. Your teacher Mrs. Clemow always has kind things to say about you. You are eager to learn and master your lessons. You will go so far in life buddy. Keep that good work ethic. I am so proud of you.

You are a joy to be around and you bring lots of happiness to our home. You are a good friend, always caring for others and attentive to others needs.

You are one stylish 9 year old. You have your own sense of self and easily express it in your style - and I enjoy that in you.

I am so blessed to be your Mama.

Happy Birthday, Walker!
