1st day of 1st Grade

Walker started his first day of First Grade last Monday. He is attending Varner Elementary School and has Mrs. Coleman for his teacher. He was very excited to get started and has done very well in class. Two days this week he has brought home rocks off the playground in his pocket. Wayne's mom says he use to do the same thing. I guess they are more alike than we know!

Walker picked out his lunch box, it was the biggest the store had so it was what he wanted (the bigger, the more food)!!

Six Flags

This past Tuesday we got to go to Six Flags with the kids. This was their first time and really enjoyed it. Reese wasn't afraid of anything. She wanted to ride it all. Walker on the other hand did not want to go into the Monster Plantation...he gets scared easily so we didn't do it but he did ride everything else. It was a great trip(even if it was 105 degrees!)

Walker and Reese in the old time cars!

I think Nate had one to many roller coasters!

Skull Island is new at Six Flags, it is a mini water park that the kids loved. Reese went down this one slide at least 30 times!

Walker wanted to ride splash water falls so bad, so him Reese and Wayne did it! They loved it!

Braves Game

This past week we were able to go to the Atlanta Braves Game. We took Walker and Reese and went with our Sister-in-law Katie and nephew Nate. We were not sure how Reese would do but she did great. It was her first baseball game and we think she enjoyed it! She was so fun to watch doing the tomahawk chop, as the night got later and later her chop got smaller and smaller. Walker loved it all of course, he is getting into the game now and one day will be our super star shortstop!!

Katie got the privilege to hold Reese and help her with her M&M's!! It was to hot for them not to melt!!

Ivy's Walking

That's Right!! Ivy is finally walking. She is 16 months and is now up on two legs. It has taken her a long time to walk but we are so proud of her. She is nothing like our other two, she has long skinny legs, big skinny feet and has no arches. I have no idea if any of this effected her late walking but she is now on a roll!!

3rd Place!

Walker and his Cousin Nathaniel was in a fishing tournament Saturday morning. It was not the best day to go fishing because of the rain but Walker ended up catching one fish and got third place. He was so excited!

Nathaniel tried, but not much was biting!

Summer Fun!

We have had such a busy summer so far! We have really enjoyed being home enjoying our family and friends.

My sister Patty turned "30" at the end of June so we put together a surprise party together for her. Patty knew what was going on but none of the kids knew she knew! It was a lot of fun!

Walker and Reese have both turned into fishes. They love to go swimming in Nana's pool. In the shot above Walker is flying into the air to crash into the pile of floats. Even Ivy loves the water!

Ivy is always getting into something...she is very sneaky!

We Moved!

Well it has been about three weeks now since we moved from Clinton, North Carolina. We are now back in our home town of Powder Springs, Georgia. The move was a very fast move. Wayne resigned as Pastor at the Church and we were packed up within a couple of days. It is a crazy long story to why we left the church and way to much to write in a blog. We are very thankful now to be at home with our family and friends. We know the Lord had shut doors but we are looking forward to the new doors that are coming. Please pray for our family as we wait patiently on Him!
