Busy Busy

School is out and we are going to live it up this summer!!! Here are a few pictures from our playdate today at Annie's house. They have a great backyard with a lots of SHADE!! Will loves his friends from church. They have so much fun together. Tyler, Annie, Brody, Jackson, Lawton, Will and baby Lauryn played and played. Will just does NOT STOP!! I would pay lots of money to have the energy he has. His newest word is please, which sounds like peash. It just makes me melt when he says it. I was chewing gum the other day and he came up to me saying peash peash peash and then made a little chewing motion with his mouth. It was hilarious and Len and I were still laughing about it tonight. He is very much into mimicking everything we do now. He has also turned into a daddy's boy in a big way. He asks for Len all day saying, " I want daddy"!

Will and Miss Theresa and my class

This is a picture of Will with his babysitter, Miss Theresa. She has been such an answer to our prayers. He will miss her so much this summer. We are so thankful for her!! Will has learned so much from her and we are so happy to have found her.

This is my job share partner and I with our sweet little second grade class on our last day of school. Overall, we had a great year and I can even say I might miss these little kiddos.

Will Dancing

I think I've finally figured out the video thing. This is Will dancing to Thomas the Train. It's better when it's different music, but it's still funny.

Happy Mother's Day

I just wanted to say Happy Mother's Day to all of the wonderful moms and moms to be. I'm so blessed to have such a wonderful mom. I could sum her up with just one word. Unselfish. She is the most unselfish person I know and is always willing to put anyone's needs before her own. She is so generous and giving of everything she has. She loves the Lord and has always taught us that he comes first in our lives. She gives me the best parenting advice and I call her before I call Will's own doctor if he is sick. I'm very lucky to have her. I'm becoming more and more like her as I get older. I don't know if that's a good thing or bad thing! Just joking mom. There is just something about becoming a mother that makes you appreciate your own mother in a whole new light. I love you very much. Thank you for being such a great mother to us.
My grandmother is also a wonderful mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Her name is Christine Walker. I was named after her and it's such an honor. I don't know if I will ever live up to her name, but I try. She has 3 girls, 10 grandchildren, 11 great grandchildren and two more on the way. She taught Sunday school for as long as she could and has always baked pound cakes for people when they are sick. She is the type of person who always remembers your birthday, always remembers your favorite kind of food, and is a great listener. She always made me feel so good about myself. She taught me about modesty (actually drilled it in our heads) and prayed for my husband before I even knew him. She is a dedicated wife to my Papa and I love her very much!

First Shiner

This is what always seems to happen when I have an appointment to get Will's picture taken! Brooke Rainey (who is an awesome photographer by the way, I need to get a link to her website) was supposed to take Will's picture tomorrow at a portrait party. Needless to say we had to cancel. I was upstairs and Will was playing outside with Len when I heard him screaming. He was running really fast with his little push toy and tripped and fell and hit his eye on our brick patio. He kept crying and saying boo, boo, oww, oww. It looks better in these pictures but he actually has a black eye. Poor baby! I was so excited to get his pictures taken by Brooke, so I guess we will have to try again another time.

A few new pictures

Here is my sweet little boy with flowers for his mama.

Being silly! He stayed in only his diaper pretty much the entire week last week. He's not really into wearing clothes right now. I think he's inherited his mother's thighs.

Will carries his tractors and cars everywhere. He loves peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and I was taking pictures of him eating lunch and noticed that one of his tractors was in the middle of his plate.

He has also started saying lots of new things this week. He has not been a big talker so we are very excited about his new vocabulary. His newest phrase is "I want it" which sounds more like iwaniah. We are so proud and it beats pointing and saying uh uh uh uh anyday! We're working on "I want it please." He also loves to sing the ABC song and it's the right tune but the letters are more like A,D, ooh, E, B, T, D and he hums the whole tune. It is so cute. I'm trying to capture it on the video camera and if I ever do I will post it. I'm starting to be able to interpret his language a little bit better now and it's nice because he's so much sweeter when he can communicate what he wants.

Family Time

Being silly with Emma.

My parents and grandparents came up for a few days and we had a great time. Will loved having them here and was very sad when they left. He got to have all the attention on him for a few days and was such a show off! We also had our cousins the Watson's over on Tuesday night. Will and Carter are exactly 2 months apart and we had so much fun playing baseball in the backyard.
