Zoo

Will was not very excited about getting his picture taken. Can you tell?

 

 

 

This is the first year we've ever gotten a zoo membership. We've always gone once or twice a year, but decided we would get a membership so we would be able to go for just a little while and not worry about seeing the entire zoo to pay the huge fee. We've gotten to go several times and really enjoyed it. It's been raining so much lately that we haven't gotten to go but we did go last week and had so much fun! The boys love playing in the playground and padded area. I'm ready for school to get out so it won't be so crowded with all the schools there.

Brownie lickens'

 

 

 

I have two boys with a sweet tooth~just like their mother. One of my favorites memories when I was little was when my mom made cookies or brownies and we would get to eat the licken's from the boy. Yes, we are from the south and we call them lickens'. I would always save a little and bring it to my dad because he loved them too.

Church Pictures

Here are a couple of pictures of Will and Walker after church a couple of weeks ago. Lately it seems like I only take pictures after church, but I'm going to try to get better. Blogging has been taking a back seat lately. I've had a hard time getting into it. It seems like we are always busy these days. We are hopefully gearing up for a nice, quiet summer, but I know it won't be quiet with two active boys.

 

 

Walker's First Birthday

 

First of all, I just wanted to give you a little warning~LOTS of pictures BELOW! I just couldn't help myself. My sister takes the best pictures and I just couldn't choose, so I just went to town. They are all out of order, but if you scroll down to the bottom, you can get the gist sp? of our day. Walker's actual birthday is tomorrow, but we had his birthday party today. I decided to forgo a huge party and just have family. Len's mom, my parents, my sister and two of her kids came and we are so blessed and thankful that they drove all the way here just to make me and Len happy ;) We had a great time and it wasn't stressful at all. We grilled hot dogs and hamburgers and I got Walker a cake from Publix with little polka dots on it. He loved the cake and was so cute eating it. I'm going to do another post tomorrow on his actual birthday with all the sappy little things about him and what he is doing right now. I've been such a slacker in the last few months with his monthly updates so hopefully I can make up for it. We love this little boy so much and can't imagine life without him.

Opening Presents

Walker is a full fledge "walker" now. He is everywhere. If you sit in front of him and hold out your arms and ask for a hug, he will come running and give the BIGGEST hug he possible can. My sister got a picture of him giving me one of those hugs. They just make me melt!

 

I LOVE this picture!

 

Walker's First Birthday

This was Walker's little smash cake. I forgot to get a picture of his real cake, but it looked just like this, only bigger.

 

I love his little scrunched up smile and the space between his two front teeth.

 

Walker with his proud mom and dad. We are so blessed to have such a charming, sweet little boy.

The end result.

 

The Smash Cake

Walker was very serious about his smash cake. He put his fingers in it immediately and went to town. It was so cute.

Walker's First Birthday

We just had a family birthday party for Walker. We were so excited that Grandmama Nancy could come. Will was so excited to see her. I know I'm posting a lot of pictures but my sister took so many pictures I just couldn't narrow them down so bare with me!

Walker in his birthday outfit. My sister took these pictures. She is such a good photographer. She uses Picasa and I downloaded it tonight and it makes blogging SO much easier! They even have it for Macs now. My friend Melia made Walker this outfit. She makes the cutest clothes! You can check out her website here.
