Grateful

Sometimes a day that makes you a bit sad, makes you think. I am very grateful for my mom and my dad...God certainly did not make two better people. I am very grateful for my husband. He just "gets" me - sometimes that is good, sometimes that is bad :) I am grateful for my son. Even on tough days, where he clings to my legs as I try to do just about anything, I am grateful for his big laugh and big smile. I am grateful for Beamer, girl, boy....I don't even care - just happy and healthy like Cole. I am grateful for my life.

I do think of our daughter and wonder what she would be like, but I am grateful for what we have and grateful for what our future holds for us.

Happy "almost" 2nd birthday Brynn!

Pumpkin Carving

Starting the dig... All he wanted to do was get them off of my fingers.

Gross!

What in the world is this stuff?

Oh look a seed!

BTW, where is the pumpkin?

"Bye Bye TunTin!"

We carved a pumpkin tonight (Dan used his electric saw). Every time a took a big handful of seeds and guts out of the pumpkin, he just swatted it all out of my hand. He kept wiping his hands on his shirt and brushing the seeds on the ground. Cole was more interested in stirring the seeds with the big spoons and smashing seeds with the big, rubber mallet. Oh well, maybe next year :)

Carnival Time With MY Boys!

Such a happy boy! Pure Joy!

Cole was suppose to kick the ball in the net, but he didn't quite understand, so he just threw the balls in the net...so they gave him a prize :)

I had to carry him away so he didn't pick more than one lollipop.

Liked splashing the water most!

Our NO FEAR son climbed up a playscape and slid down the 10 foot swirly slide on his own.

Dinosaur Dig...he tried to climb in the sandbox!

Was more interested in the fish cut-outs than doing the actually fishing.

Today was our first RES carnival - lots of fun, lots of kids, lots of tired adults (especially me). I went early to help set up and Dan brought Cole around 10:00. My boys and I played until about 11:00, then ate lunch (Cole's lunch pretty much consisted of chips dipped in ketchup, not worth the battle today). After lunch they headed home where Cole preceded to take a 2 1/2 hour nap. Thank goodness for a good sleeper! I came home around 4:00 and we played some more. We even ended the day with some snuggling on the couch. Love my boys...love, love, love my boys! It certainly would be OK with me if we had some more testosterone in the Walker household - we shall see!

What A Difference A Year Makes...

Oh my sweet boy, how is it possible that you are so big??? How is it possible that you have been in our lives for over a year now? Cole Walker...you are loved!
