Fish Out of Water

Does anyone else's kid end up IN the water table when they are suppose to just splash around in it??? Just wondering if Cole is special???

Mommy's Purchases

Playing with the neighborhood kids in the new bounce house. Every ball ended up outside of the tent...

hence...maybe a lakehouse toy in the near future :)

So I decided to venture out to our community garage sale today...probably will not happen again. People take garage sale shopping too seriously. I almost was ran over several times and backed into several more different times. I will have to admit I liked looking at things that people were trying to sell. I think next time, if there is a next time...I will head out with a friend. I did purchase a bounce house for Cole - perfect for his age, maybe up to about three years old for $50 (regularly $200) and a little ball pit that might become a toy for grandma's house :)

Drivin' Through

Feeding a giraffe...big smile the entire time. My dad opened the sun roof for this guy to come on in.

Waiting his turn.

Seriously...come on in!

Watching the deer by the car.

One of his many attempts to escape.

Driving with PaPa.

Today we took Cole to a drive through zoo near my parents' house. It is called Fossil Rim - we drive by it every single time we go to and from the lake and have always wanted to stop. The animals were everywhere even though it was over ninety degrees. Cole loved watching the animals and even started saying, "Deer" and "Zebra" by the end of the day. Well worth the money for sure! He loved it and I loved being part of another first for Cole. I don't know many 16 month olds that have fed a giraffe from their car :)

Big Brother Cole

We started (well mainly me) telling our friends and family the GREAT news...so here it is -

Cole is going to be a big brother sometime in late April. We are working on the word baby. I point to my tummy and then say, "Baby". He says, "BeBe" over and over and even pointed to his own tummy yesterday. We will keep working on that over the next few months.

We heard the strong, little heartbeat last week and things seem to be going great. I have felt nauseous, so everyone thinks it is a girl...It doesn't matter to me - healthy and happy works for the Walker Family. Very excited, very nervous, very tired...lots of positive thoughts and prayers for the newest Walker Baby.
