Baby Vance is here!!

Friday morning while I was on the way to taking Walker to school Patty called and told me her water had broke. I got so excited. It was perfect timing for me. I dropped him off and headed home to pack. Two hours later we were on the road headed to Atlanta. Six hours later we were in Georgia and Patty was 10cm and ready to push. I made it right on time. She did such a good job and baby Vance is here and healthy. He is a cute little thing that is going to be tall like his daddy. He was 7lbs 11oz and 22 1/2 in long! Cutie Pie!!

Our Day

Well, I am not sure what to say about this afternoon. Walker's friend from next door had come over to play. They are usually really loud and I am always calming them down. Today was a lot different. The boys got real quit for a long time back in the back guest bedroom. I went back to check on them and they had built a masterpiece on the bed. They had taken every pillow from my bed, walker's bed, and the guest bed and piled them high on the guest bed. Then they had taken Walker's blankets and books and had started putting them on top. They were having a blast!! I went back and sat down for a little bit with Reese and then after a while decided to go back and check on them again. I found them behind their masterpiece coloring themselves with markers. What do you say?! They were having a good time. So I took them outside and told them they could get it off by playing on the slip-n-slide! How much more fun could they have.

Next it was Reese's turn. I turned away for one minute and she had jumped into the mud puddle. She was all smiles! With mud that is!!

Their Masterpiece!

Deer Season

Deer Season has started (with a bow that is)! Walker loves to go hunting with his Daddy! This afternoon he got to go for the first time. He didn't get to see anything but had a good time anyway. I think Reese wanted to go to (just to be with her daddy) she stood at the door and cried when they left.

Walker's First Bow! (his papa got him!)

Reese giving Kisses

Reese started walking the week of her birthday. Since then she has not slowed down. Lately daddy has taught her to give kisses. She use to only give them to daddy but now will pass them out to all of us. She is so cute!!

Dove Hunting

I am late posting this but about 2 weeks ago was opening day of dove season. Walker has been waiting on this day for a long time. Papa and Nate came up for the big event. They went out on to some corn fields that had been cut and got about 8 doves. He had a blast! He was only using his BB Gun so he never got to shot one but had a fun time trying. I better add that Nate shot the most beating out his uncle Wayne which he has been trying to do for years.

Walker is a good shot when it comes to the targets he practices on!
Papa took the pictures for me so I didn't get a picture of all four of them.

Like father like son!!

1st Day of School

Walker Started Pre-K yesterday. He has been wanting to go for a very long time and the day finally came. He was so excited! He had so many questions before he went but couldn't wait to get there. I think it is going to be a great year. He has 10 boys in his class and 3 girls, I guess the boys will rule!!
